Chapter 12

Angela

Matt and Catherine were out in the woods again studying life in Amphibia. This time, they've been out in the woods for a few days, and we're lucky to not be captured by woodland creatures.

Catherine picked a green mushroom from a tree and showed it to Matt.

"This is a stamella shroom," she explained. "When cooked, it can give you a boost of energy."

"Good to know," said Matt.

The two continued on for a little while, before they heard rustling. They looked around, and saw that they were surrounded by many different woodland creatures. The creatures all seemed like they wanted to eat the human and newt. The creatures charge and Matt and Catherine brace themselves, ready to fight.

That's when something grabbed the two by the collar and pulled them up off the ground. The two looked up and saw a medium-sized stork holding them with its claws. It had a mark on its face, one that Matt recognized as the mark he gave the baby stork he hurt during his first day in Amphibia. That would have to mean this is the same stork, so that would mean it left the nest not too long ago.

Eventually, the stork brought Matt and Catherine back down to the ground.

"Thanks for saving us," Matt told the bird. "I think I'll call you…" Matt continues before stopping to think. He eventually comes up with a name for the stork. "Angela."

The stork nuzzles Matt, a sign that she really likes that name.

Angela flies away back out into the wild. Matt waves goodbye to Angela before continuing through the woods with Catherine.

A.N.

The storks were something I've been planning for a while, as storks are birds that eat amphibians yet they're not really part of the actual show.

The Storks may or may not return in Part 4.
