My Blackbirds

Twelve

_ The Fourth Chapter _
~ A bird through the guests ~

I scratched my little nose when my mother called me on my birthday's morning

" Won't you come my dear " she said
" Yes I'm coming mother " I said

I went downstairs , I was wearing a yellow dress
And I looked pretty !

I was greeted by my friends and family and a blackbird !

I saw it flying around guests but I think it was only my imagination, I scratched my little nose watching everyone singing happy birthday songs for me..

" Make a wish " said my smiling mother
Then I wished my wish this year and I blew up untill the candles extinguished.

After the party, the guests went back to their homes but the black bird didn't it was waiting for me in my room.

I was so scared to enter my room so I spent that night on the couch with all presents I had in my birthday.

I woke up in the early morning and now I am twelve ..

I climbed the stairs slowly and scared, I opened my room's door carefully but no bird was there.
I looked at the window but it was closed and my little pink curtains as well !

I wore my jeans and my pink sweater then I asked my lovely parents to go to the park

" But you're bigger than going to this park "
Said my father

" I want to go there, please ! " said I

" Well, we will go to the park " He agreed

We went to the park together.
I was very pleased we will go to the park that day.

In the car I looked through the transparent window and I saw three blackbirds flying between the clouds.

But was I scared they will attack me?
I can't really remember, I only remember I love watching my blackbirds.

We arrived to the park, I was glad we're there .
Then I scratched my little nose while walking to the yellow swing.

When I sat down my eyes were searching for the little black stone

But it's little place had never changed !
Or the park is what had never been cleaned !

I looked up to the sky which has no limits and I saw the three blackcirds

I wasn't surprised at all, it was actually a very expected thing.
I mean, they never go away don't they?

After a while we leaved , we were just in front of the car and when I opened the door a blackbird landed on the car's roof !

I stared at it for seconds then I put my legs in the car to enter it.

When I did and I was about to close the door the blackbird entered the car as I did
It was standing beside me..

I acted it wasn't there and when my father checked I was in the car he didn't give any comment about the blackbird standing beside me !

I asked myself if he can ever see them
If anybody can, but me

When we arrived home the bird flew away and when my father opened the house's door it came again and landed on my left shoulder..

I tried not to freak out and to stay calm

I went upstairs to my room and the bird flew around the room and landed on my bed

I sat down on a small chair in the corner saying nothing

After a while the bird took a small bobby pin as if it will swallow the bobby pin

I didn't want my blackbird to die so I stood up and took the bobby pin from my blackbird's beak carefully

I can't lie, I was very scared but when the blackbird remained calm I wasn't really scared anymore

I felt it's really my blackbird now !

I wanted to know my blackbird when it comes again so I picked up a green marker and drew a heart on it's right wing

I was very happy but now I must name it..
I was thinking for so long and then,
Found it !

" Kiwi, because your marker is green like kiwi "
