He ran as fast as his small legs would let him. He couldn't use his wings for some odd reason, but he had to run! It was crucial that he gets away from what ever it was that was chasing him. Then he wondered, what was it he was running from anyway? He looked back to see and to his surprise, nothing was running after him. He wanted to stop and figure out why he was running but his legs wouldn't let him so he just kept running. He decided to look around him to see where he was, he was at the bottom of the forest and storm clouds were lingering above him with the threat of snow, why was he running in this weather for no reason? Suddenly a noise made him look back and there running (more like slithering) after him was a dark figure of a bird with blood red eyes! He knew why he was running now! He ran harder now that he caught a glimpse of this thing! He ran as fast as he could when suddenly he tripped falling to the ground face first, he tried to get back up but he couldn't so instead he rolled on his back to defend himself against the shadowy figure when suddenly a white figure came out of the bushes making its wings fold out to protect him. He looked at the white figure and found it rather comforting to look at. He automatically knew this bird's gender was male. The dark figure slithered away when he saw this bird and he could no longer see it. He looked up at the white bird as he held out his wing to help him up, he gratefully took his wing and stood up on his feet. Suddenly he got an urge to hug this mystical being and so he did and to his surprise the being hugged him back! He stayed there for a little, then he looked at the being to find it was a red hooded cardinal! But it was like the other two beings no pupil eyes that glowed and they were an amber/orange they looked at him almost as if they were wondering why he pulled away, then out of nowhere four chicks came out from behind it, Two were boys, one looked like a red hooded cardinal with a canary's body the other a full blown canary, the youngest two were girls one a cardinal the other a canary. the little cardinal lifted her wing to point at him and one word came from her mouth, the one word that dangled in his mind after words as he faded to blackness again, "mommy".
