Chapter 22: Predator and Prey
Ariana’s eyes flew wide in disbelief—she couldn’t believe what she was seeing.
A chicken?
Right here? Right now?
She had been so scared earlier, worrying about her fate, only to realize all this was because of a chicken. She sighed softly. She had thought... oh heavens.
She didn’t know whether to cry or laugh at the absurdity of it all. Was she cursed? Cursed by a chicken or something? Why was it always chickens?
Why were they the ones that ruined everything for her?
If this kept happening, she was going to develop a very personal, very deep hatred for chickens.
But wait—why was a chicken here? What could it possibly be looking for at this time of night? Was it not supposed to be asleep?
’Are you not supposed to be asleep’ she asked herself.
The chicken clucked. Loudly.
Ariana’s face paled as shivers ran down her spine. Oh goodness, she was going to get caught.
