   Chapter 2: Birds and Blurs
"Wow!" Pheobe, a small girl with light blueish hair and big blue eyes, gasped at a yellow and black feathered bird purched on her hand.
The bird churphed, the tilted it's head.
"I've never seen a bird like your before. Your feathers are so pretty!" Pheobe ran a finger down the birds back.
The bird rubbed it's head on the girl's face. A red bird flew down at Pheobe's feet. It picked at the ground with it's beak and circled Pheobe's feet.
She laughed. "Your feathers are pretty too." She sat on her hunches with the yellow bird and cerrest the red bird.
Slowly, one-by-one birds would come down from their nests and sat around Pheobe.
"This is amazing. I've never seen so many birds before." Pheobe grew excited. "And your all gorgeous!" She laughed along with the birds churps.
A couple squirels scrambled down trees to see what was going on. They found it was safe to be around Pheobe- like the birds.
"Squirels? Never had them come near me before- I don't think. Their so fluffy!" she laughed. "Your all so beautiful."

Far behind Pheobe a man, dressed in a cloak and a huge hood over his head, watching intently.
"But out of all those birds over there, you are, by far, the most magnificent, my dear!" He said to himslef. He watched her for a few more minutes, then Pheobe got up.
"I gotta' go now." she said to the animals. "See you later!" Pheobe waved and walked way.
It's coming up really soon. The man though, following Pheobe until the sun began to sink into the ground and he went his own way.
When the sun was down, Pheobe entered, what seemed to be, an old deer den. Inside there was heavy green blanket, a small round pillow, and a extra set of cloths with a hole at the top.
"Well today was a good day." Pheobe picked up a couple of rocks that layed by a pile of sticks, under the hole. "This my not last long. I should have picked up some more wood on the way back. Oh well."
Pheobe clashed a couple of rocks together. They made a spark, but no flame. She tired again, and again, and again. Nothing. She easily grew frusterated and rubbed her eyelids.
When she opened her eyes back up, there was a small fire infront of her.
"Huh? I guess it must have caught a spark." Pheobe crawled into her blanket and thought: Is this how i'm going to spend the rest of my life? I love being out in the wild more then anyting, but I'm always along.

Late that night, Pheobe's body felt cold. She cracked open her eyes. The fire had gone out. A dark blur stodd by the entrance of the den.
What's that? A dear? Please let it be a dear! Pheobe thought. She didn't dare open her eyes anymore.
The blur crawled past the long grass hanging down over the entrance. It has a few large peices of wood, that it put over the ashes. It snapped it's fingers and the den quickly filled with fire light.
What the-? Pheoboe thought "Who are-? How'd you do-? What's going on?!" Pheobe sat up, forgetting what could happen. It became clear, the blur was someone in a cloak.
The person flinched. Teh two looked at eachother for a couple of seconds, until the cloaked person darted out.
"Hey, wait!" Pheobe crawled to the opening. She looked left. Tehn right. Nothing exept trees and darkness.
Pheobe went back to her blanket.
The was so strange! How did, who ever that was, do that?! Pheobe thought and stared into the first and drifted into thought. She didn't want to go to sleep but still felt as if she was resting her mind.
