First off P.O.V. means Point of View. That means from the character's perspective.

Secondly this Fan Fiction will include Romance and Action.

These names aren't familiar to you? That's because this story takes place one hundred years after the final book! Also, I don't know everything about owls.

Chapter 7 : Milkberry

Kai's P.O.V.

I followed the little gray owl. He kept glancing back every so often as if making sure I didn't burst into flames.

"Uhh, H-Here. No wait over here!" The little dust ball of an owl kept waddling back and forth. He didn't seem to be able to find where he was going.

"Oh here it is!" He said with relief and guided me into a large hollow. Even as an owl I was able to smell the bitter scent of healing herbs.

A medium sized brown and black owl flew in through one of the dozen of holes on the ceiling.

"Oh, hello Dust," The owl hooted. The voice sounded as if it belonged to a female.

"I was told to take these two to you Berry," Said little Dust as he quickly left the hollow. This owl seemed to seriously think I was going to spontaneously combust.

Berry turned toward me and gasped. She was staring down at Cole who I had clutched in my talons.

She grabbed him quickly, but with care. She plucked a few feathers from her breast and put them in moss. Then she laid him in the moss.

"Alright, you come with me," She said turning around.

This 'Berry' owl was beginning to scare me.

"Uh, so is Cole going to be okay Mrs. Berry?" I asked.

I almost stopped with shock. The owl just turned her head backwards.

"My names actually Milkberry. My Ma loved the Milkberry tarts. Everyone calls me Berry though, so you can call me whatever you want," Berry said.

"Uh... Isn't that uncomfortable?" I asked Berry.

"What?" She said with a look of confusion.

"You're heads backwards. Isn't that uncomfortable?" I explained.

"You're a strange owl. All owls can turn their heads around. Some even three hundred sixty degrees," She snapped her beak a few times, which made me jump, "Then again you wouldn't know numbers. You have obviously never been to the Great Ga'Hoole Tree Before."

I suddenly puffed up. Sounded like this owl was calling me stupid!

"I can count! I can read! I can write!" I listed everything I could do to this stupid owl.

Berry looked startled. I quickly shut my beak. I guess she just assumed I didn't know this stuff.

"How did you learn all that if you have never been here before?" She asked.

"My mom and dad taught me," I said as I began shrinking back down to my normal size.

She stayed silent after that.

Then we stopped before a large jug made of metal.

How had these owls made this stuff without hands? I questioned silently in my head.

Berry turned back to me holding a leech!

"Oh! Ew! Don't touch me with that!" I backed up quickly as the slimy little creature wriggled in her talons.

"It will clean the wound dear," She said softly.

I shivered, but let her put it on the slash on my face.

It was the most wonderful sensation ever. It tickled, yet it wasn't ticklish enough to be annoying.

"That feels better doesn't it?" Berry asked, but I was too comfortable to answer.

About a minute later the leech was taken off. She looked at my face.

"You're good to go. If your friend is awake you can take him to your assigned hollow," Berry said.

"Alright, thanks," I told her as I quickly went back to the hollow Cole was in.

He was sitting up. He turned toward me with bright eyes as I walked in.

"Kai!" He said quickly. He then jumped up.

I ran over to Cole and tackled him.

"Ou! Get off you puff ball!" He roared.

I slid off of him, laughing.

"Kai? Cole?" A voice asked.

I turned around just as a white owl poked his head in.

"Zane!" Cole and I called in greeting.

"Hello! Can you guys come back yet?" He asked.

"Yes," I answered.

"Alright then, follow me. I recorded the way I had come from," Zane said turning around.

Zane's like a portable map. I will never get lost in this great tree again! I thought with a chuckle...

Cole's P.O.V.

Zane was leading us around the tree like he owned the place.

After a while he turned into a hollow.

"Oh good! You're okay," Jay screeched when he saw me and Kai.

"My ears aren't," I moaned.

Jay put his head under his wing. He looked embarrassed.

"Aw Jay I was kidding," I said giving Kai a warning glance.

"Yea you're voice isn't as loud as Ivory's," Said Nyx,

"SHUT YOUR BEAK!" Ivory yelled in his face.

I rolled my eyes.

This was going to take some getting use to!
