Earth is our home we need to saver what we have and take care of it not abuse it
"Hey mommy im going out to play okay?" I shouted to my mother from the back door putting on my shoes. As im about finished putting on my shoes i hear my mom respond "okay Shawn, be careful of the roads stay away from them and dont get hurt, stay with jimmy our neighbor okay". "Okay mommy" i said, as i did i rolled my eyes. I never liked jimmy he was so mean to nature hurting the animals. But of course i have to be "friends" because our moms hang out. I run out of the house across the street to our little park we have. I saw a bunch of boys playing tag, so i walked the other way towards the little woods we have. I like to look around in there, its so peaceful and beautiful in there. As i am walking towards the trees i see a little group of boys huddled around something and they were all laughing. I started getting curious so i walked over to them. I peeked over a boys shoulder seeing jimmy and other boys messing with a hurt bird. I gasped, i squeezed through the boys trying to reach the bird. Once i reached the bird i get on both of my knees picking the bird up with caution. "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM JIMMY, YOU CAN'T DO THAT TO ANIMALS ITS MEAN" i shouted in my little boys voice still on the ground holding the bird close to my chest. Jimmy came closer "you dont tell me what to do Reed" he said through gritted teeth coming closer to me. I stand up still holding the bird not letting it go "how would you feel if someone did that to you" i spat back glaring at him, i dont care if he is older and taller than me. Im not letting him hurt this bird or animal anymore. I felt his big hands grab my shoulder pushing me hard to the ground. Im holding the bird tight when i feel the impact on my back hit me getting my breath knocked right out of me. But it wasn't over, i felt them kicking and punching me. I curled up in a tight ball protecting the bird, i whisper to the bird "its okay, nothing is gonna happen to you" repeatedly over and over. The kicking and punching stopped and the sound of laughter got further and further away. I get up shaking, my body hurting i look myself up and down seeing i have bruises, amd cuts. I shrugged it off walking slowly to the entrance of the woods, i hold the bird infront of me cupping my hands. I look straight into its dark eyes "are you okay?, im sorry this happened to you it wont ever happen again i promise" i say still lost in its dark eyes staring back at me. I bring it to my lips, kissing the top of its head. When i did i felt strange like there was something flowing from my lips and hands to the bird. I pull away looking the bird up and down, i noticed the wing was fixed again like nothing ever happened. I gasped thats when i heard the most tiniest voice ever "thank you shawn, i own you my life for saving me" the bird said to me. My eyes widen i wanted to scream but nothing came out. "No no don't scream its okay" the bird spoke again. "YOU JUST SPOKE TO ME, YOUR A BIRD AND YOUR SPEAKING TO ME!!" i shouted looking at it. "Yes i am im twitty" the bird out stretched its wing, i looked at it and carefully took it and shook it slowly. I released its wing my hand droping to my side, i set the bird on the ground. I lay flat on my stomach looking at it. "How am i speaking to you" i questioned it looking at it staring back at me "you have a gift shawn a beautiful one, you are connected to the most beautiful living thing in the world........ earth" it spoke to me in clear english. I didnt speak i was still in shock that i am having a conversation with a BIRD. "Shawn after this you must know that no one can know about your gift not even your mother, promise me you will not tell a soul" the bird said to me i couldn't speak so i just nodded my head. "Now go home your mom will want you soon and shawn remember not a soul" the bird said, i nodded once again getting up walking away. I look back seeing the bird take off winking at me returning to its home in the woods. I turn back around running home, i ran as fast as my little legs could carry me. I run up the back porch opening the back door removing my shoes in a rush. I close the door once again. "MOM IM BACK" i shouted putting down my shoes skipping into the kitchen where my mother was on the phone. She looked up noticing me suprised "oh sweety you scared me, back so soon?" She asked i nodded "yeah i didnt want to be late to diner again" i said standing in the walk way of the kitchen. "Well wash up and just chill for a bit okay let me finish up" she said putting down the phone going bacm to cooking. I nodded and ran up stairs going into my bathroom, i washed my hands and went into my room. I grab the stool from under my bed and dragged it to the window. I rest my elbows on the window sill looking at the nature. I was lost in my daydream when i saw a bird fly by my wind, i jump looking around. It then landed on my window pecking at the glass seeming to try to get in. I open my window, feeling the bird fly in landing on my nightstand. I close the window again, then rushed over to the bird that is the same one i saved just today. "Shawn i know your confused and so young to understand but.... this is just the beginning and im here with you to help" twitty said i took a deep breath closing my eyes, i open my eyes letting the breath out. I look at twitty "what happens next twitty?" I asked.......
