Mina woke eyes wide open;the owl stayed sleeping,sat like a loaf of bread.She sighed in relief as the owl as she thought he would of escaped.All Of a sudden, a cacophony of voices appeared,the sounded like guards trying to knock the door down.They had to hide.

Mina searched the cabin top to bottom for something to cover her and the creature,she noticed a grey sheet of tarpaulin,it was perfect!Mina threw it over the owl;crawling under it as well.”Where coming in!”said a voice trying to scare anything in the cabin.

Bang!the door jolted open,slamming against the wall and a herd of guards poured into the building;the owl’s eyes flashed open but Mina soothed him telling the owl the situation.It went quiet,as if they were listening to them.A trapezium sliced the darkness;voices echoed and the hunt began.Cautiously,Mina peered under the cover,sharp shadows ran around the room as an icy wind seeped into the cabin.Mina shivered,falling into the owl’s warm feathers.This was fine the could wait this out…

Half an hour later,all the guards had left,once Mina realised this she threw the dirty tarp her muscles aching from cramps.Suddenly, an idea sparked into her head;the owl unruffled his beautiful feathers.”I think I might have an idea…”

The duo walked out into the grey,cold world and started trekking through the gloomy forest.After some time they reached the edge of the forest and knew when the stepped over onto the streets and were seen they would die.Sneakily, they ran through the town avoiding checkpoints as best they could.It was cat and mouse.

Outside,the mist curled through the abandoned neighbourhood,the streets were dead silent.Inside Mina stumbled through a house searching for a place to hide Cutlery lay scattered across the kitchen floor,a couch snapped in half coated in dust and glass shards were littered throughout the house.To her horror the mugger blocked the door.There was no escape.

Behind her,a bloodthirsty man dawdled towards her, a knife glistening in his hand.Mina’s breath was stolen by fear…

…but all of sudden,a creature flapped,shovening the wind away in a ‘WHOOSH’.Emerging out of the darkness;not one but two glowing yellow eyes appeared,a glint of brown and a hook-like beak.Whatever it was dashed past Mina and stood between the both of them staring intently at the mugger.

It was enormous!Huge and brown.Mina realised she was stand next to a massive owl.It hovered in the air as it threw back its shaggy head and shrieked.At that very second the man dropped his weapon and ran.

The owl turned and sat down in front of Mina ,resting his feathers.She could see that he was injured.A strip of  red ran across his side.Mina had never been next to a owl or even dreamed of being this close!She could smell an earthy,dusty aroma as she watched his feathers ripple all over his body.

The two stared at each other.she felt that he was sizing her up,peering into her soul.But her tension eased and she held out her hand.The owl leaned forward -cautiously- and examined Mina’s hand,he nudged  it wit his soft,thin feathers.His eyes thundered as if they were made by a storm.Mina could see kindness in his heart yet sadness.

Then a torn, croaky voice seemed rise from the Earth’s crust.””I need your help,we need to find the gateway.”Mina’s eyes widened,was she seeing this?Is this a dream?

She nodded pretending she knew what it meant.At that moment Mina knew she had to do all she could to protect this gorgeous,huge beast.”They’ll be back,we need somewhere to hide,somewhere safe,somewhere remote.”

After some tim Mia handled them down a path towards Brandon forest by the abandoned shed.Rumour had it that the ghost of the founder of the forest had died in the very shed so no one dared venture near it.It was perfect.Over last summer she sat in the shed watching deer,catching bugs and much more.As soon as the owl saw it he huddled in a dark corner until he was asleep.

It was a cold,damp day in Brandon,January 1st and the ‘foreigners’ side.A girl walked down the street woven with age littered with weeds and plastic:she wore a yellow raincoat and pale green wellies.She approached a wired fence with a soldier staring down another delivery child.

“Next!” shouted a guard shoving people away from the checkpoint,”Who are you?And what have ya’ got in the box?”He asked with a grunt.”I’m Mina,and I’m delivering shoes.” “Is that so,let me see.”he snatched the ox and peered inside.The soldier motioned me in throwing the package into my arms.

It was like stepping through to another dimension to a parallel where everyone was happy and kids actually went to school. It was heaven to us but the people on this side never appreciated it.There was; gardens of exotic flowers,restaurants serving the finest measles,no cracks in the road.

Mina put on the hood of her raincoat and repeated what her father said in her head ‘keep your head down and don’t talk to anyone’ she tightened her grip around the package like a teddy bear.BANG! She fell to the floor as a man stood in front of her,”Oh I’m so sorry I-” “What do you have in the box?”Mina saw him slowly raising his arm to grab her arm.Petrified, she rolled over in panic stumbling up onto her feet making a mad dash to a dark alleyway twisting corners all just to meet a dead end.As Mina viewed his shadow,she saw a knife…

Owl,owl

why does your head twist like a rope,

Examining all there is?

Owl,owl

who made you stare into the night,

Pretending its day at your wood?

Owl,owl

why do you eat revolting rats and mice?

Or do you prefer a slithering snake?

Owl,owl

what tempts you to eat every bone and hair?

Why yourself the agony of spitting

it back out?

Owl,owl

why do you have such large eyes

like golf balls?

Owl,owl

do you like hiding from the light?

Do you like stalking the night?

I’m a huntsman craving a bird banquet,

My eyes a sniper’s scope,

I soar through the sky’s ocean waves,

I’m a cold-killer.

I live in trees as high as can be,

My travels lead me over forests like paintings,

My mountain so big they stare at me,

I’m a high-hunter.

I have shy shimmers of gold,

My beak’s end is like a pirate’s hook,

My eyes are a fire’s ember,

I’m a golden-glider.

I hunt animals as small as a mouse,

I hunt animals as large as a fox,

I’ll swipe worms as big as snakes for my young,

I’m a rodent gulper.

Stalking its prey,

The viscous tiger waits,

Occupying the dry grass,

A shadow-stalker.

Its eyes as piercing as a rapier,

Pupils like black holes sucking you in,

Emerald eyes contained by rings,

A ************.

Rough,rusted fur patterned with orange and black,

The mane as prickly as thorns,

Beautifully blending into the shrubs,

A furry-warrior.

The tiger approaches fierce and strong,

Looming over a feeble deer,

As it starts to sprint they play hide and seek,

A flesh-hunter.
