Chapter Five

Jenny slowly opened her eyes and was nearly blinded by the sun glaring down at her.
"Ooohhh......where am I?" she groaned. She lifted herself to her elbows and looked around. She was sitting atop a rocky hill. The sky was sparkling clear, and the warm air smelled of sunshine and lillies. Something about it seemed fresher than any air she had ever tasted before.
She took in a deep, deep breath, trying to drink it in. Suddenly a sharp, throbbing pain erupted in the back of her head and she cringed. Reaching back and sifting her fingers through her hair she felt something sticky. Then she looked behind her and saw that the rock where she had lied was stained red.
"I'm bleeding...." she murmured.
She stood up dizzily, and feeling rather nauseous.
"W-where AM I?!" she asked the empty terrain. Her only answer was the silence of the stones.
"Where is my horse?" Something in her snapped when she realized the precious animal was not with her.
"EBONY!!!!!!!!" she screamed. 'EBONY' 'EBONY' 'ebony' 'EBONY' 'ebony' 'ebony' a thousand voices kareened back at her, hammering in her ears. When they finally died out, there was silence in the hills again. The tired girl sat down limply on a bouldar, and buried her face in her hands. Suddenly she heard a faint noise from the south.
She jumped up.
"Ebony?!" she cried out; but what she saw was not her horse. There was a tiny black cloud headed her direction at an alarming rate. Something about it did not feel quite right to Jenny.
"It's moving against the wind...." she whispered. Then she saw what it was. There were hundreds of huge birds, flying low. They were black as ink, sort of crow-like, and sent and icy chill down her spine. They did not appear to be friendly.
Feeling panicked, without any real idea why, Jenny frantically searched for a place to hide. As soon as she rolled into a crack under a huge bouldar, they came. The noise of their calling was deafening. Black birds with black, beady eyes dived to the ground and hopped about the place where Jenny's blood was smeared on the rock. She shivvered. These were no ordinary blackbirds. These were spies of some kind; but they were not looking for her. They were on another, more important mission, and it was time to go. As if by some unseen command the entire flock swooped into the expanse of blue sky and disappeared in a matter of seconds.
