This is the second chapter of Guardians of Ga'Hoole: Origins. Please enjoy, and don't hesitate to give me ideas for this story!

Chapter 2: Out of the Blue

(With Pat narrating) I was born in a tree in the Tyto Forest. A few weeks later, my father had gone out hunting, but after two days, he hadn't come back. Knowing that I was getting hungry, my mother had also gone out. She too also went missing. Our nestmaid snake, Miss Smith, went out hunting. "Okay, Pat. Stay here, I'll be right back with a couple voles for you!" Ms. S said. "Alright, Ms. S! I won't move a muscle." I said. "Okay." I then fell asleep.

A few hours later, a storm was gathering. RUMBLE! This woke me up instantly. "Dang, must be a thunderstorm." Then, BOOM! My tree was struck a bolt of lightning! "Wait! Did your tree catch on fire?" Soren asked. "I was getting to that." Pat said. My tree caught on fire and fell over, knocking me out of the tree. I thought that I was going to die! "What happened?" Twilight asked. I was saved by your brother Soren. "What?" Soren yelled. He swooped in and saved my life! I thought that he was going to take me to the Great Ga'Hoole Tree. I was wrong. They brought me to St. Aggies and then moonblinked me. Luckily, I wasn't perfectly moonblinked. But things were about to go from bad to worse for me.

I know it's short but I wanted to end chapter two on a cliffhanger!
