READ IT!!!!!
Chapter Six
I finally pulled the last book out. The shelf wasn't all that big, but I was still a little tired. I kneeled down on the floor to look for a loose floorboard. My fingers traveled along the cracks in between, but nothing was loose or missing.
"Ha," laughed Zero, "You look like a fool. Now what? Are you going to look around the door?"
Surprisingly enough, I did.
"To think that you actually listened."
I ignored him. I opened the chamber door, only to find it empty and black..
Where was I supposed to find this stupid bird? There was no way. Maybe there was something in the ceiling.
"Please, don't even try," begged Zero. "I would probably die of laughter."
His comments were cruel. So cruel that I listened to him again and didn't look at the ceiling. What could be up there anyway?
"Nothing that would help you," muttered Zero.
"Huh?"
"Nothing. Get back to searching," he commanded.
Anywhere else? Well, maybe the fireplace.
I waited for Zero to say something. But nothing came. Can you still read my mind.?
He didn't say anything.
Yes! I think I'm free.
Still, he didn't say anything.
I guess I am. Anyway, I made my way across the floor when I felt something sting me on my right shoulder. When I looked, nothing was there. I continued to walk. Another something stung me on my left forearm. I looked. Nothing. When I made my way across, I was too tired to move anymore. What's happening to me?
_~_;
"Hey, he's up!"
"Good. I don't wanna lose a digger."
"Aww.don't you care about anything else?"
"Like.?"
"Murder."
"You always say that," Caveman said.
Squid opened his eyes and saw X-Ray, Zigzag, Caveman, Armpit and Magnet hovering above his face.
"Whoa!" he cried and shot up. He looked around. "Where am I?"
The five looked at each other and uneasily replied, "We don't know."
Wait, this place looks familiar, thought Squid. Zigzag grabbed his right arm. The whole place started spinning very quickly. He gasped and looked up. Suddenly it came to him.
_~_;
I stared out into the sky. It was bright, but I wasn't allowed outside. I was never allowed outside.
"Come here, honey. And bring a bucket."
That was my sick mother. She was infected by a horrible disease. How? We don't know how, but we're still trying to figure it out.
I walked over to the stairs and looked down.
"All right."
I ran down the stairs and looked around. It was dark and damp. Not much was in it. A bowl, a cup, some clothes and a bucket. I picked up the bucket. My mom had sent me to go find it the first time she hadn't been feeling well.
As I made my way up, I heard something. Deciding that it wasn't important, I continued up the stairs.
"Here," I said as I gave my mom the bucket.
"Thank you, sweetie," she said.
I looked at her sadly, wondering if we were going to survive like this. It was doubtedly, but we could try.
:_~_:
Two years had passed, and I really thought we were going to make it. But then, we found it, lying in the street. It was a raven egg.
:_~_:
A month had went by. My mom was still sick, and we were kicked out from our old home. Now we lived underground. We had dug our home. That took us a month.
As for the raven, it was starting to bring problems to us. Bringing a weird presence with it wherever it went. I had asked my mom if she had felt it, but she always said that she was too tired to even care about the bird.
But I took care of it. I had always wanted a pet. Half a year ago, I was so desperate that I had even thought up of an imaginary giraffe. But he was gone now. Now I had a raven. But something's wrong with him.
"CAAAWWW!!" called the raven.
I made my way to the empty underground room connected to the main underground room by a tunnel. It was very empty. And at night, when I walk down the tunnel to get to my raven, I sometimes get a little scared.
"CAAAAAAAAAAWWW!!!" the raven called again.
I'm coming you stupid bird, I thought. "I'm coming."
The raven got on my nerves whenever it would call to me like that. That all started a week and six days ago.
When I got into the room, the same eerie cold swept over me. With no door or no window, it was hard to come by good air in the middle of summer. Maybe the cold was getting to him.
"Crraaaaaaaww." it murmured.
I came over to the raven. "Hey Rave. What's wrong? Are you cold? Or are you hot?"
It crowed again. I got nearer, and nearer, until suddenly.
;_~_;
Well, that's it for this chapter! It took me forever to think of this because I just got back into playing video games. So, review/read and review!
