Chapter 2

It was Saturday thank God Samira loved to sleep late on Saturday's she forgot about the fire popping up it was going out she ran to the fire adding three logs shifting the charred remains with the new to get it raging again.

Jesus it's hot outside and you guys need fire huh? She rubbed the eggs gently the curl circle and swirl pattern's lighting at her touch. She turned the eggs gently laying them back in the nest. Can I take a shower guy's? She showered downstairs grabbed her laptop and charger. She called the hospital your grandmother is doing fine Samira we are making sure her lung's are clear before we send Ma Ruby home. Okay thank you. You can come but the Doctor's sedated her she tried to leave last night and she was a language we never heard it was a beautiful dialect where is your family from?

New York? The nurse laughed well I'm looking over she baby sat me and my daughter she is an asset in our community she's in good hand's baby. Thank you.

You're welcome I'll call you with an update before I go home okay? Yes ma'am.

Samira laughed the phone with her best friend Daniel whenever she laughed the eggs rattled and when she was upset over something even playfully the eggs lit up red. Daniel let me call you back.

She walked to an egg laughing laughing loud the eggs rattled she pretended to cry the eggs lit up gold flashing off and on and when she screamed NO! the became hot red and she heard a mild hissing.

Samira backed up from the eggs afraid. She wanted to kill them she picked up a fire iron to smash one. NO SAMIRA! She heard her grandmother's voice so loud she looked around for her putting the iron down.

Sorry guy's rubbing the eggs lighting to her touch. Samira got a Jump on her homework and reading assignments. She turned on rap music the eggs rattled lightly same as when she was laughing aloud. Happy eggs you like rap music? Me too.

She danced around the nest silly the eggs rattling giving a steady glow.

Samira had a good day with the eggs she fell asleep moving her bed closer to the eggs so she could feel the fire go out.

One of the eggs rattled lit flashed gold red and green Samira heard the commotion oh no oh no! The fire burned bright she didn't understand.

Oh no please don't die! Please! She called out the other eggs ratting at her stress. The egg shell burned a bright red Samira touched the egg if burned her finger. OUCH! FUCK! The eggs shell had her finger print's on it.

The light went out on the now cracked open and nothing came out. Samira cried grabbing her phone to tell her grandma she killed one by accident.

What? She saw a lizard head poked up through the shell. Ahhhhh! It was a small screeching. Oh my god look!

She sat on the floor with her blanket wrapped around her the glow of the flames lighting her face. Look at you the lizard wobbled into her hand's.

Lizard's Noni that's all you had to say geesh. She kissed the lizards head the lizard licked her face you can't sleep in the nest anymore Samira ran to her room dumping a shoe box adding a towel then she ran to the kitchen grabbing six cans of sardines running back up stairs.

She held the lizard putting him in a seperate box with the towel she used earlier.

She sipped water and the lizard opened it's mouth water? Samira poured a little in a cap then in the lizard mouth she ran back down grabbing a clean petre dish she had from her school lab.

The lizard hopped on the water splashing around screeching playfully. Yeah I don't think that's what that's for but okay hehe. She cracked the sardines feeding him tiny pieces.

The lizard yawned sleepy? Samira put it in the box covering it with the towel putting it in the bed with her.

Together they went back to sleep.
