Zeboo Chronicles

Part 2

Zeboo was astonished and horrified. She was wondering what could have caused the explosion and what could have happened to the families in the village. She wanted to comfort her fainted mother. However she thought to herself,  mom needed some rest after her long journey. She made a bed with logs and leaves and put her mother on it. She collected some kindling wood and made fire to keep them warm.

As she sat by her mom's side, staring at her face, she wondered how she had never noticed just how beautiful her mom was. After her dad left both of them in poverty, her mom worked so hard for years to ensure their survival. She never once complained and she was always kind to everyone. Zeboo was never a difficult child either; she never once demanded anything. She always helped her mother in her daily chores. She never had friends however, and that was one of the reasons why her mom worried about Zeboo. She always told her to go out and make some friends but she wouldn't dare talk to any other kids in the village. She spent her free time in the jungle and that’s when she met the fairies. Initially she was afraid of them till she learned that they were harmless. Fairies kept her entertained by telling her their adventurous stories. They had answers to all of her questions.

Zeboo was still awake and it was close to dawn when she heard some sort of strange music.  It sounded so familiar. She knew  they were not alone in this creepy jungle... Goosebumps rose on her skin !!!!!
