Here's a sneak peek of the chapter "Pets" from Moons Apart, Book#3 of Ferry's Tale series.
When the egg hatched, Ferry, Matilda, and Pine took a step back, all at the same time--it was a black chicken, the size of an adult rat, with sloppy wings, a big head, and beady dark eyes. It had no feathers. Not even a fluff.
Ferry tried hard not to show his disgust. He failed. "That's the ugliest chicken I've ever seen."
But Sivri's eyes sparkled. "I think it's beautiful. I'm going to name it Tilt."
Ferry took Sivri aside. "Sivri, you can't name it. And we can't keep it. We already have a pet," he said, pointing to Pinescar.
Matilda stepped closer, placing herself in front of him. "Ferry, Pine is not a pet. He's a Dryad."
"Well, you named him. He follows you everywhere and begs for your attention. He sure looks like a pet to me..."
Matilda's face turned red. "How can you say that? Just because things aren't going the way you want, that doesn't give you the right to hurt people, or fairies, or even birds... imitations around you. You know what? I liked you better when you were a fairy. Being a human makes you sooo bitter," she said, barely breathing.
Ferry stepped even closer to her. Their eyes were glaring darts at each other. "Maybe I had a great teacher in bitterness," he snapped.
The quarrel was heating when the black chicken opened its big beak and a howl emerged from its throat. They were all staring at it again.
"I think Tilt is hungry," said Sivri as natural as can be.
Ferry took a long breath. "Fine, keep it! But don't expect me to come to the rescue when your pets will get us in trouble. Because they will, mark my words!" he added, stepping ahead of everyone, hitting the tall grass out of the way with his cane.
