I looked at him confused. "What do you mean?" I asked.
"Well," he began slowly, "Daemons don't usually talk to anyone except their person. So, if we just got you an, an animal or something that you carried with you until we got out of the village then."
"That might work!" I exclaimed. "But, where are we getting an animal."
"Pet shop," he said. I felt really stupid.
"Of course," I said blushing.
We pooled our money and bought a small bird, it was a parakeet with white and blue feathers. Looking back on it, that was a terrible plan. Well, we went back to Will's back yard and went through the window. I set the bird down on my shoulder willing it not to fly away. We wandered down the narrow street. It was a dirt road, and it'd been raining. The product of this was of course, mud. It was thick and sucked you shoes in, not wanting to let go. Despite the awful weather, people crowded the street. That wasn't too hard to do considering the size of the road, but it definitely made things harder when it came to getting around and staying clean and dry. The thing was, no one seemed to be worrying about that. A woman ran past us kicking up mud. Everyone seemed to be heading towards one area. I turned to look at Will and found, well nothing. He had disappeared.
"Will?" I called. "Will?" I looked around anxiously. Where was he? I spun around as someone tapped my shoulder. It was him. I opened my mouth to say something but he gave me a look that silenced me.
"We have to get out of here," he said, "now."
"What? How come?"
"Don't ask question right now," he said his eyes getting frantic. I nodded and we took off through the dense crowd. Suddenly, I froze. The bird was gone.
'Forget the bird,' I told myself,'it doesn't matter.'
I ran alongside Will and we made our way behind a pile of firewood, it was soaked from the rain. He crouched low and pulled me down beside him.
"What is going o-," I began. He held his hand up and I quickly shut my mouth. He was looking through a chink in the pile of logs and observing the crowd. They kept crowding closer and closer to the thing in the center. Suddenly, I head a scream and the cluster of people scattered and chaos erupted. People started shoving each other, terror playing across their features. I bit my lip and looked at Will.
"We have got to get out of this town, something's happened and-," Will said.
"What though?" I asked cutting him off.
"I'm not going to explain now!" he exclaimed. I must have looked pretty hurt because he softened.
"I'm sorry, but we really have to get out of here." I nodded.
"Ok," I said. We left the village carefully and without being noticed. Everyone was running around like chickens being chased with pitchforks.
"Well," he began slowly, "Daemons don't usually talk to anyone except their person. So, if we just got you an, an animal or something that you carried with you until we got out of the village then."
