My Egg!!!

Chaper 3

Paige went sailing through the air. Below her was the magical forest. To her it looked just like any regular old forest. She fell into a large tree and into a very large birds nest. She let out a sigh, thinking God for landing her someplace safely, until she actually got a good look at the nest that she was in. Her eyes widened when she saw that there were five large green speckled eges that were her size sitting around her. She gulped and slowly stood up.

"This don't look good." she murmured.

"I should say not, gel." came a familiar voice from above. She looked up to see a rather large green bird that looked similar to Toad perched on the edge of the nest, "This is my nest that yer sittin' in and that happens to be one of my eggs that you crushed with yer fat ass!"

Paige looked down to see that the bird like Toad was right, she was covered in green yolk from the waist down. She looked back at the bird nervously, "Uh... Sorry."

"Sorry? Sorry?!" he huffed, "Not as sorry as yer gonna be! No one messes with Mortimer Tonybee's belongings and gets away with it! Come're, ya lil' bugger, I'm gonna eat you alive!"

Little Paige gave out a loud squeal as the Infamous Toad began pecking at her piggy head. Quickly she raced to the opposite side of the nest and dove out. Toad followed in pursuit, bent on seeking vengence for his lost egg.

"Get back here! I'm not through with you yet!"

Paige looked down at the ground that was coming fast and saw that this fall would kill her. She tried to husk herself into something hard so she could protect her body, but her skin wouldn't tear.

"Oh, no!" she squealed.

"Oh, yes." called the large hideous bird after her, "I'll be having pork chops tonight."

She was about 20 feet away from hitting the ground when suddenly she felt something catch her and land safely on the ground.

Toad squawked in irratation, "No!"

Paige looked up to see Forge, who was dressed in a bunch of animal skins, holding her.

"Forge?" she blinked.

"Don't worry, young lady. That bird won't attack you any longer, not as long as you stay near me." he turned his attention on Toad, who was flying in circles above them, "Be gone fowl beast. You shall not have this one's bones added to your collection."

Toad squawked in fury, "But she broke one of my eggs! Do you know how long it took me to lay just one?!"

Forge looked up at him curiously, "No. But what puzzles me is how a male bird can lay eggs."

"I don't know how! All's I know is that those eggs are my babies and I'm gonna raise em' up and give em' the love that me own parents would not give me. But that bloody bitch broke one of my babies and I want retribution!"

"Do you even know what retribution means?"

"AWK!!! Don't question me about my educational learning!!! What I know is my business. Awk Now gimme that piggy!"

"No."

"GRRR THEN DIE!!!"

Toad swooped down and began his attack.

Forge pulled out a bone sword and a scale shield, ready for the fight. "Stay close to me, young one." he whispered to her.

In a flash Toad drew first blood. His rasor sharp claws raked up against Forge's face making him cry out in pain. The blood dripped down the sides of his face, but it did not keep Forge from focusing on the large green bird. Toad came back around for another attack. He swooped down again, planning on taking a swipe at the man's throat, but Forge was ready for him. With one swipe he sliced into Toad's right wing making him go crashing to the ground. Forge waited for the bird to get up not wanting to risk leaving Paige vulnerable in case Toad was faking his injury.

Toad got up and glared at the man before him, "Not fair! Not fair! You have a sword, while I have only claws and a beak to fight with."

"A bird can be just as viscious and dangerous as a sword if you know how to use them."

"Grr You may have won this round, but I promise you that the next will be mine!" with that he hobbled over towards his tree and slowly made his way up into his nest.

Forge lead Paige away from that dangerous place, until he knew that they were safe.

Forge looked down at his piggy companion and smiled, "Well, now. Who might you be? I recognize the golden locks, but I'm afraid that my eyes are deceiving me."

"Don't worry, Forge. It's me Paige. So... I'm guessing that this is just another part of my weird dream?"

"I'm afraid not. This isn't a dream at all."

"So, this is all real? What exactly is going on?"

"I believe that this is another nitorious wish from the ellusive Pimp Daddy. I'm not sure as to what he is, but I do know that he grants wishes to pretty young girls. Are you the girl that he granted this bizzare wish to?"

"Nope. Ain't me. Nor Monet, which she ended up getting blown up."

"Hmm Any idea who it might me, then?"

"Could be Jubilee, but I don't think that she's crazy enough to make a wish like this."

"I wouldn't put it past her. I've seen her when she's on a sugar high. Either way, there's nothing to really worry about."

"What do you mean that there's nothing to worry about?! So far people that we know are being blown up or eaten!"

"Don't worry. My cousin made a fairy tale wish similar to this, she said that practically everybody died in her story book, but once it had a happy ending everybody was restored back to life in reality."

"I sure hope that yer right, Forge. For all our sakes."

Earlier, Skin landed in the Mysterious Mountains. Instead of landing on something hard or pointy, he landed on something soft, but extremely smelly.

"AGH!!! What the hell is that horrible smell?!" he looked around and saw that he sitting on a very, very large troll looking person that was sleeping. "Oh, God! Did anybody ever tell you to use breath mints? Yuck." he took a closer look at the sleeping form who was just now waking up, "Uh-Oh! I'm outta here."

"Wha?" said the large troll looking thing. He saw a small little piggy running along his stomach, "What's this?" he reached out and grabbed Skin, "Who dares run across The Blob?"

Skin's jaw dropped, "Oh, you've got to be kidding me!"
