Chapter 7- Fear

Its been nearly 5 hours since Philomena flew away, and I'm still looking for my feathery friend despite it darkening and me getting extremely tired. I'm starting to get really scared that I may never find her. I looked everywhere she might have flown to and tried every location she could be, but I also kept thinking "She's a bird, she can fly, she can be anywhere", which got me sad, as I began to ultimately lose hope of finding her. After what it felt like a whole week of looking for her, I fell down to the floor breaking down in tears fearing the loss of my best friend. After fearing the inevitable, at the peek of my slow ascend to happiness, at 4 in the morning out in the streets, I have finally lost all hope and accepted the truth: Philomena is gone, and I have no way of seeing her ever again. Slowly, I could feel my depression worsen as I cried my eyes out, relieved that no one was around to witness it. I decided to just stand up and walk home, but as soon as I did, I saw a glow emanating from what I believe was the entrance to the Yunque Rainforest. I immediately feel a shiver of fear running down my spine as I remember the dream I had last night, but something kept calling me towards this ominous glow. Thats when I saw her.... Philomena was there. I could see her flying towards the forest, I know its her, but why is she here? Now wasn't the time for questions: I had to go into the forest and find Philomena and bring her back home. This isn't gonna be easy for me, but for my best friend, it will all be worth it. I just hope my fear won't get the best of me.

Author's Note

Sorry for the short chapter, had very little time to write since I'm focusing on my studies in college as well. I'll try not to add so many short chapters, but at the same time, give me a break. I'm doing the best I can to make this the story I want it to be as well as enjoyable for all of you. Thank you. :)
