Leaning against the tree, I decided to take a small break. From half an hour I was being on guard, slacking for a couple of minutes would not land me any trouble, would it?
In any case, I could not continue being an owl. My neck started aching from all the streching I was doing for keeping a lookout. Turned out that, I was not designed to have my heart resting in peace. I heard loud footsteps. They were rushed, urgent.
There was only one person inside the house, who could be the owner of those feet. However, why was he in so much hurry?
Did he rush out on not finding me in the room? Forgetting my inhibitions, I was filled with joy for a second.
Soon, that joy was suppressed as I panicked. One part of me wanted to go out before his eyes, while the still shy, and hesitant part of me wanted to retreat and hide.
