Spring Eggs
Chapter 6: Monster of Nature
The sleigh slowly landed in a meadow surrounded by an evergreen forest. Tulip quickly hopped off and into the grass, and immediately realized something was wrong. The grass was brown and flat, let alone, there were no flower. The flowers that were, laid on the ground like brown and shriveled bodies. Tulip looked at the horrific seen in front over her and put both paws over her mouth. The others got off the sleigh after her and followed her wide-eyed gaze.
"Crikey" Bunnymund whispered loudly at the dead meadow. They all stood in silence, processing what had happened, and why. Not only were the plants dead but there were no animals to be seen. A longing errupted deep withing Tulip to see creatures. To see life in this meadow. "tweet tweet, Tulip! Tweet tweet tulip!" Went a voice from the forest. "Did you hear that?" Tulip said quietly. "Hear what?" Tooth turned toward her with a concerned look on her face. "That sound!" Tulip exclaimed and sprinted down the hill on all fours. "Tulip wait!" Sonny cried uselessly at the shrinking figure. Suddenly another shape flew past her; It was Bunnymund.
"tweet tweet, Tulip! Tweet tweet tulip!" The small voice got louder and louder in Tulip's ears. Her ears flew behind her and brushed falling leaves and branches sticking out. She panted heavily as she leaped over fallen tree trunks. She stumbled into a clearing. A small, pale yellow bird sat on a tree stump with its back facing her. It seemed to be crying. Tulip stood up on her hind legs and took a step toward it. "Are you ok?" she asked softly. "No..." the little bird weeped. "Why?" Tulip took another step toward the little bird. The bird sniffed. "As long as the Spirit of Spring lives, Spring cannot truly go away." Tulip gasped, trying to process what the bird just said. "That is why," it continued in a menacing voice. "I have to kill you.."
From tail feathers and up, the feathers turned to stone grey. The little bird turned around. Its eyes glowed red, no whites, o iris. It grew in size. The feathers hardened, the beak grew sharper. It turned into a large stone raven, as massive as the trees surrounding. Stone crumbs fell around Tulip, she stumbled back. The stone raven spread its wings and shrieked. Tulip screamed. She screamed as loud as she could. From back at the hill, her scream could be heard.
"Tulip's in trouble!" Sonny yelled in alarm and took to the skies. Everyone looked at each other in fear and shock (except for sandman who was asleep in the sleigh). Tooth and Crystal flew after Sonny, Jack not far behind. " Let's Go!" North laughed, pulling out his sword, and running down the hill. "Ugh, Mama Mia," Casey groaned and ran after him. Just when the two disappeared into the trees, Sandy woke up and looked around. He floated up scratching his head, then went back to sleep.
Small stones falling around her, Tulip fell to the ground as the Stone raven loomed over her. It reared back like a cobra about to strike. Its sharp beak came down... Tulip dodged just in time. The earth shook with the stone beak's mighty force. While the raven struggled to get its beak out of the ground, Tulip crawled into a large hollow in a tree nearby. Her heart hammered against her chest like a drum stick to a drum. The raven ripped out its murderous stone beak, roots and dirt falling off it. It scanned around for its target. Every time it took a step the earth shook. Tulip held her breath as it lowered its head, like it was searching for a giant juicy worm. A speck of debri came into the hollow and Tulip sniffed it. "Ah...ah..." she started. The raven cocked its head. "Achoo!" Tulip sneezed and her eyes widened in terror. The raven turned to her tree.. It had spotted her... The raven flapped his giant wings. Leaves, branches, trees, fell to the ground.
Crreeeeaaaaak. Went Tulip's tree. it fell over her head onto the ground. Tulip was now trapped in the hollow. A stone beak bursted through the wood. Tulip gave a yelp, narrowly missing getting shishcabobbed. The beak stabbed the trunk multiple times. Tulip gave a yelp every time, as they nearly got her ear, body, and tail. The raven had enough. Its horrific talon came down on the trunk and ripped open a massive hole in the trunk. The ravens glowing red eye came to the hole to look down at its prey. Tulip gripped a rock in her paw and threw it. The raven reared back as its eye was hit by the tiny but fatal stone. Tulip quickly hopped out of the tree and began running. The raven quickly recovered however and stomped the ground. The tremor brought Tulip to the ground and she rolled over. The raven was on her in a minute. Tulip dragged her-self backwards.
Then her back met a large boulder. She was cornered. The raven reared back to put an end to its prey. Tulip squeezed her eyes shut, preparing for the end. "Get away from her! you piece of rock!" an Australian voice came. Tulip opened her eyes just in time to see the raven stumble back, blinded by a series multi-colored explosions. Tulip looked over to see Bunnymund at the outskirts of the trees with an egg bomb in his paw ready. Tulip quickly stood up, her spring dress and fur coated in rocks and dirt. Sonny, Crystal, Tooth, and Jack landed from the sky. Casey appeared from the trees, North a little farther behind her. "Just..." he panted, putting a hand on a tree, "go on without me!" he called. Jack readied his staff, Bunnymund pulled out his boomerang, Tooth in her fighting stance, Sonny just lunged forward, Casey opened her fan, Crystal pulled out a set of metal snowflakes, Tulip pulled out her whips, Sandman took a nap- A battle was about to begin.
