chapter 1: The Squirrel

POV Stubbins

I went hunting with my uncle and his son Junior, i hate hunting.

We were squatting in front of the tall grass and watching the ducks.

I heard a small noise in a tree near me, i look in the direction where i heard the noise and i see a small squirrel.

I love animals i could never hurt them.

" On this side small head of linnet " Said my uncle, taking my head in his hand and making me watch the ducks who swimming quietly.

" So ".

" Junior flush them out, you shoot, okay ".

" Yeah, okay dad " Junior said as he left.

" Get ready, pistol to your shoulder ".

I look at my uncle and ask him.

" Am i obliging my uncle ? "

He looks at me and says.

" Go ahead my little guy " Completely ignoring my question.

I put the pistol on my right shoulder and aim towards the pond where the ducks are.

Suddenly Junior comes running towards the ducks screaming.

" Duck !, duck !, duck !, duck ! "

All the ducks fly away in fear.

They are there, shoot, shoot, shoot " Cried my uncle in my ear.

I aim at a duck, but i can't shoot, i couldn't kill it.

No, i can no " I said to my uncle as he screaming at me to shoot.

I had so much pressure i pulled the trigger and the shot was launched.

And i hadn't touched anything, luckily i thought.

" You miss them on purpose or what ! "

" Hey dad, he hit something this time ! "

What ! but i had not touched any duck, i get up and go to see what i had touched and i see the squirrel !

It was the squirrel that i had observed earlier, he seemed to be pain.

I approach him and sit down.

" My uncle, we have to help him, he's hurt " I said, staring at him with fear for the life of that little animal i accidentally i hurt.

" You are right " He said, reaching for something in his back pocket.

" We don't let an animal suffer, especially if it's our fault, is holding " He said, handing me a knife.

I take it in my hand and my uncle and Junior turn to leave.

" He is not doing well this kid " .

I watch them go and i hear a little moan, i watch the squirrel he seemed to be in more pain than before.

I suddenly hear a noise above me, i look up and see a parrot in the tree above me.

He looks at me and tells me " Follow me " And flies away.

I get up and take the squirrel and put it in my bag and run through the forest, i didn't know where i was going, but if i could save the squirrel it was worth it.

Suddenly the parrot stops on a large door, there was a placard on it, i approach and read.

We take care of animals with two or four legs, wings or crawling.

I hear little moans from my bag i look at the squirrel, he was not going to last very long.

I knock on the door and wait.

I hear the parrot making noise, i watch it.

" Come with Polly " And flies away.

I follow her and she takes me to another side of the wall where there was a breach.

I put introduced on all fours and when i come out full of butterflies fly around when i get up, i look in front of me and i see elephants ! and of giraffes !

I see a mansion not far away, Polly put itself in front of me and flies towards the mansion.

I take a deep breath and run to the mansion, being careful not to justle the squirrel too hard.

I entered a sort of little labyrinth, i follow Polly and i arrive in a small part of the garden, i hear a noise next to me but i only saw fields of white flowers.

But suddenly a polar bear springs from the flowers, he looks at me and i step back not waiting to be his breakfast.

He comes closer to me.

" Nice doggie ".

I step back and a net shoots out below me and i'm trapped.

I look below me and see Polly talking ? with the bear.

What i was going to do ?
