Chapter two~Growth spurt

We both looked down uneasily and chuckled.

"It seems both of us can agree maybe it's time for a little lunch break," he said with a grin on his face. He was contradicting himself. He never did that. That second I noticed what he was trying to pull. The good old "change the topic when the mood lightens up a little." Well I wasn't falling for that.

"Please," I whined ,"just this once let me do something. "

I heard a cawing sound far off and knew instinctually that it was Toben ,my pet eagle. During the day he is usually out hunting or doing whatever eagles do during the day and at night he'd usually go into his cage on his own. I don't remember how I ended up with him but pops said he found me with Toben. He circled above my head twice and dived in to land on my shoulder.

"Tonight's the night." I whispered to myself once more.
