Chereads / Star Crossed In Time / Chapter 15 - Shame

Chapter 15 - Shame

I round a few more corners and after a while, I realize I'm not being followed. "Hahaha! Yes!" I air pump in the air as I run into a nice green field. I come to a slow stop and quickly try to catch my breath as I try to figure out my next move.

I look around and realize I must have found where they keep the livestock. There were a few goats and several chickens. I bend over and rest my hands on my knees as I try to catch my breath. I just need to climb over this wall... I should be home free then.

After I catch my breath I quickly walk over to the wall and begin looking for something to step on. It was just a little too tall for me to climb... I need something to give me a little boost. "Ouch!" I yell and jump to the side.

I look down to see one of the chickens trying to peck at my feet. "Shoo! Shoo! Go find a worm or something you stupid bird!" I say quietly kicking with my foot. I didn't actually kick it, I just want to scare it away. The chicken fusses and flaps its wings as it runs away.

It probably thought I had food or something... I turn back to looking for something to climb on. "Ah hah!" I say with joy when I see large water bail next to the wall. I walk over and carefully test my weight on it before climbing all the way onto it.

"Brrrraaaaaa!!!" I quickly look over to find that the chicken was back... but with friends. All their feathers were puffed up as they all begin to fuss. "Nice chickens... pretty chickens... I'm sorry for being rude okay? If I ever come back I promise to bring you food next time!" I say looking at the growing mass of angry chickens.

How many chickens did they have!? Okay, there's like fifteen of them but to me, they look like a hundred! They completely ignore me and continue getting closer. "Wow... you all look so angry! Haha... did I tell you how nice you ladies look today? Haha... mighty fine... like a whole twelve-piece from Popeyes haha... you're out for blood aren't you?"

The first one to attack nearly flies into my face! I scream and fall back, right into the water bucket! Who said chickens couldn't fly!!?? Next thing I know, the whole herd of tiny raptors descends upon me. I scream and begin crawling for my life!

"This is why I hate nature!! This is why I like computers!!!" I scream as I get to my feet. They keep attacking me from behind me so I take off running. Some are attacking my feet/legs while the others are flying at my head/face! At this point, I'm nearly in tears as I run for my life! "I'm sorry!!! I'm sorry okay!?" I scream and yell as I try to run for my life.

Bai Lei watches the woman run for her life around the animal yard with a look of disbelief. Bai Lei looks over to see the goats watching everything while they chew on the hay. He sighs when he realizes even the goats are looking at her with pity...

How did she manage to survive until now? How!? Ren steps up with a large smile on his face as the chickens nearly cause her to fall. Here she is... running for her life in her undergarments while the two of us watch with the goats.

"Hehehe... serves her right! She fits right in!" Ren says with a sparkle in his eyes. Sighing I turn back to see her running straight for us. I lift an eyebrow as she screams for help with tears in her beautiful jade eyes. She actually had chicken feathers in her hair...

I quickly hook my thumb over to Ren and her eyes quickly catch the jester. Ren still laughs at her but when he sees her heading straight for him, his smile quickly falters. "Go that way! Not this way!" Ren nervously yells but she doesn't listen.

Ren looks to me in growing panic "I'd start running while I still have a headstart." I say with a smirk. Ren's face falls as he takes one last look at the girl before running away in fear. If I had to give her one thing... she's mighty fast. Before long, she reaches Ren but she doesn't stop there... she takes a leap and lands on his back, effectively knocking the both of them over. The chickens soon join them making a huge pile on the ground.
