Shi’hera ran down a small trail on her way to the neighboring camp. The trail was dark because of hundreds of towering trees blocking out the sunlight. Even though the trail was dark Shi‘hera kept on running, with a big smile on her face; she didn‘t seem to care about the darkness.
Shi‘hera came from England with her parents in 2017 when she was 4 years of age. When Prince Jackson heard of her abilities he shipped her and her family on the first freight boat. Why a freight boat you say? This was only a freight boat by sight. Underneath the boat was 2 more levels; oh, but that is another story, right now we must get back to Shi‘hera‘s journey through the darkened forest.
Shi’hera was now further along the trail, far enough to where she could not see the entrance in which she came. Just then she stopped… “What was that” she thought to herself. I hope, I hope; oh I’d betta not think terrable things or, or.
Just then a big bush moved in the distance to her right. “Oh” she said out loud, “who is theya?” The bush rustled again; then the bush next to that one rustled. Whatever was in the bush had to be big because the bush was at least 8 feet tall and the whole bush rustled all the way to the top. Laguna forest was full of wild animals. Though most of them were tamed, there were some older generation of animals that did not get to experience human affection. There were talks about a huge family of elder Cougars that were more vicious than a pit-bull from 45th street.
“I really hope you are not a Couga” Shi’hera said with a shaky voice. Shi’hera looked behind her to see the path going forever, little beams of sunlight lit parts of the trail. Leaves were falling here and there but in the distance the entrance was gone, the path disappeared.
“Oh!” the sound of rustling came again but it did not come from the same bush. The rustling was much louder this time and it came from, from, Shi’hera looked around… IT CAME FROM A BUSH RIGHT NEXT TO HER! Right after the rustling sound came a deep growl. But this couldn’t be the growl from a Cougar because Cougar’s are only 4 feet tall and this growl came from the top of the bush; about 7-8 feet from the ground; and it was very deep!
“Ah” Shi’hera ran without thinking. Here little white gown blew in the wind and she kept her face forward, hoping that the light at the end of the forest came soon. Just then, the beast ran from bush to bush, Shi’hera was too scared to see what the beast was.
She can now hear the heavy stomping of the beast, “It must be four hundred pounds” she thought to herself. She continued to run, falling leaves hitting her in the face here and there. She passed an occasional butterfly, she jumped over an occasional rock. The bushes to her right were shaking aggressively as the beast ran in them. Shi’hera took a quick glimpse to her right and caught view of the beast’s foot! The foot looked like claws from a giant Eagle. The stomping continued, the bushes kept rumbling with the sounds of branches breaking.
Shi’hera’s face grew red with fear then she closed her eyes and opened them wide. She then yelled, “My friends, my friends, let tha dragonfly show me who you really are!” Oh Ziare, help me please.” Shi’hera kept running, slightly slowing down from running out of breath, but the beast kept running, shaking every bush near her and grunting.
“My friends, my friends, let the Dragonflies of this forest bring you forth now!” Just then in the distance a bright light came down through the tree tops. The light was golden with big flakes of different, beautiful colors: orange flakes, yellow flakes, light blue flakes, pink flakes, purple flakes, it was astounding! Then golden sparkles came down that looked like glitter. “Oh, my friends help me!”
