I started climbing down Rida and jumped down a little
Landing proudly on my feat, I hugged her than moved on to Her twin.
After that the bird just looked at me with its beady eyes as if waiting for it's thank you hug.
I turned around my back now facing the bird, it flew onto my right shoulder becuase my hair covered my left than it did the most annoying profound thing it could think of, the bird bit my cheek than did it again until I dare look at its eyes, I thought of my response to it, ' okay fine thanks for showing me it won't eat me in my sleep ' I could sware these things read my mind becuase a satisfied feeling seamed to wash up the bird who puffed up its chest and flew back to its previous place. I rolled my eyes at it, 'you goofy bird' I waited until the sun threatened to fall before going down to collect a long plant like leaf. My cut had began to gush blood again so I used it to rap around my arm to stop the bleeding than cleaned the little skin breakage I reserved from the jealous birds fit...
I climbed up my tree thinking about how tomorrow I would build myself a real ladder...
Finally my eyes got drowsy as I curled into a ball, the night was warm like Florida's winter but had a nice cool breeze.
Sleep had taken me once again.
I whispered so quietly I couldn't hear myself "goodnight Bird."***
She mocked me tricking me into thinking I was a gonner, you, you are frienemy she thought,through the hate and coldness she gave me I couldn't help loving her, I treated her like a best friend and she hurt me but every etempt she made to kill me a part of her never aloud it. I was five again, my thick platinum blond hair lay over my shoulder. I sat on the end of a farmers cow pasture picking dandelions using the green to create a crown and the flowers to design it as if they were jewels. Each carefully placed, a large bull in the field I didn't know was there has gotten into a mood. It looked at me trying to challenge me, I smiled at it taking the crown to my head standing up, "Be A Good Knight Sir Billy The Bull And Fetch Me A Lemon." It patted the ground scooping up dirt with its hoof, letting out a huff of breath it ran at me I had quickly jumped to the ground as it missed me by inches it slipped on some mud falling breaking one of its horns, unfazed by the close death little me walked towards it smacking its thigh and giggled "Well Brave Knight You Asked For It And Your Helmet I Cant Help But Notice Has Been Injured".

I looked up I noticed the sun was just rising and I needed to start my day, I hasn't ate in a few days and my stomache was telling me to eat while my eyes turned towards the bird once again, I shook my head at the thought of eating such a beautiful bird...
I was famished and thirsty my mouth dry as the Sahara dessert.
I couldn't handle today without it it was a matter of hours till I died of dehydration.
I slid down my rope and started collecting random branches and dry brush from the ground finally I put them in a medium sized pile, i started to dig out a small hole on the ground transporting my dry medium sized pile into the small hole, I collected stones that were loose on the outside of the crystal white pond letting them dry in the sun for about fifteen minutes then putting them around my branches to protect my fire and keep it there.
Finally I got to try to make fire which I've been dying to do for a while taking to sticks I held one tightly running the other over and when I saw a speck of light I did it even faster soon I had a fire with warmth, smoke and all.
I went to Ethena and broke a branch I then walked to the small pond getting a small flat rock, I kept breaking parts of it and trying to shape it till it looked like a bowl... when just the inside was burned out I smoothened it then started on the outside, soon I had the perfect bowl and grabbed the water from just above the water falls surface the moving water and put my bowl filled with water above my fire.
In the midst of all this I had put the largest chunk of glass I could find in that hole I awoke in and washed, and put it on the fire to use as a seperater.
Watching the bowl intently to make sure it didn't turn to ash, finally I felt the water was safe and began taking it from the fire but felt a sudden pain rush thrue that spot making my fingers blister a little hitting my head a little I remembered 'duh it's fire it's gonna be hot' I wrote a mental note putting my fingers into the icy shady area of the water feeling the cool sensation cover the burn making it feel all okay.
I rushed back to the fire that still held my bowl prisoner and I took a really thick strong looking leaf from an unknown plant using it a little like oven mits and grabbed the bowl my precious bowl, I set it down in the cool soil patiently sitting waiting for it to be cool enough that my hands could grasp the sides, I held it up to my lips and took a sip.
The water was surprisingly sweat and if it didn't kill me in the next 48 hours I'd do the process over again...
I assumed noon was soon to come becuase the sun was almost at its peak, I remembered what I was planning on doing before I got busy on the hole
No water=Death thing.
I collected a bunch of rocks to stab into my tree friend Rida but couldn't bring myself to risk killing her if she died my shelter would not be steady as I wanted so I settled on creating a ladder with vines tying each into carful nots picking off the blossoms.
It was about to be nightfall and I knew my unfriendly visitor would be coming soon and I climbed up the tree, I wished I could kill it. I had barely reached the first not of my clothing rope and I heard the familiar snap so I scooped up that thing the fastest I had ever done anything my hole life!!!
The creature started running and I had just barely been cut so I let out a short shrill wanting to hold my foot but instead kept climbing slipping a few times wow this Danger dog could leap. I got my rope and new flexible latter up and couldn't help but watch the creature trying to jump up and devour my flesh in aw , it used its back legs jointy bounce to jump and it's longer front paws strength to push it further than extended its arms towards me almost clawing up a few times, my nose from my own stupidity got cut. I leaned to far as I watched soon after I was injured I kept back into safety and fear...
I wiped my nose off with a wet rag I had made earlier from taking a peace of the rope. I now also had a sort of clothing and after testing my ladder contraption climbing hire in the tree with mild danger and Risk found out I had a pretty good ladder. She still heard the low grunts of the Danger dog below and soon forgot about is she fell into a dreamless sleep she still wasn't used to speaking but liked to whisper out one thought before bed tonight was " Goodnight Endangered Hot Dog"********
I awoke in a panic as I felt something on weighing on my chest I looked up to see a pretty little Birdy looking at me, that's right the same bird that babysits me without stop...
I pushed it off trying to sleep again seeing it was still dark out but it chawed at me, I could tell I was starting to loose little mass but it still counted. I was loosing my strength to build and survive, that's when I heard the soft noise of the water swooshing butterfly like creatures flew from it there translucent wings were braised by the growing sun and they flew into the air there wings turning into a scarlet red. I silently thanked the bird for waking me up to see such a beauty.
But my body collapsed before getting to the ladder I was draped on the branch like a towel, and soon I fell into another deep sleep...
