Pigeons in California

Chapter 1: California 

Piogon and I are in California, the state of the famous Los Angeles and the beautiful sunshine that shines upon the civilised state. 

We're in Sacramento. the capital of Caifornia, and we are right now staying away from the cold fall weather. It took us a long time to get to Cailfornia because it's so far away from B.C, and we landed right in the middle of fall. 

"It's cold here" said Piogon. 

"Yes. but we should start traveling" I said. 

"It's cold out there, and I'm so warm here" Piogon said. 

"But our moms need us. If we stay here, we'll never get to our moms. Come on. 

"All right, I'll go, but it's cold out there."

Chapter 2: Chased

We went outside in the freezing fall air and flew to the east because the mountains were in eastern Cailfornia, about 20 km from here, so not very far, but with the windy weather now, it will take longer than in Trail. 

Suddenly, a owl came towards us, but it wasn't greeting us, it wanted to eat us!

Piogon and I flew away from the owl attacking, but owls are very fast and it was gaining speed rapidly. 

The owl to Piogon and I is huge, but we are very small and can hide in places that the owl can't. 

The owl was chasing us in downtown Sacromento, and there were an old building with holes big enough for Piogon and I to hide in and that the owl can't fit in. We could hide in one of the holes and stay safe from the owl. 

I told Piogon my idea. He liked it and then we went in a hole in the old building and sure enough, I was right; the owl couldn't fit in the hole. 

But the owl's beak could fit and the owl tried to get us with the beak, but he didn't get us and the owl left us alone. 

"That was a close call" said Piogon. 

"Yes" I replied. 

"But owls eating pigeons?" said Piogon. "That's wrong."

"Yep, and this one tried to eat us." 

Chapter 3: More Owls

We followed after the owl to see where it lived and the owl went out of downtown Sacromento and into western Scaromento where there weren't many buildings. 

Suddenly the owl stopped at an a old building where humans were probably making cereal but stopped making it for some reason. I knew this because of the sign that had a cereal box on it. 

The owl started to move again and Piogon and I followed until the owl stopped again where 50 owls were in rows of ten and there was an owl not in a row besides the owl that chased us. 

"Did you destroy the pigeons?" the owl besides the owl that chased us. 

"No. They're hiding a small hide in downtown Sacromento. I couldn't get them in the hole."

"OK. We will destroy them with ten of the strongest owls here, you being the captain."

"Yes. I will get my ten strongest owls, sir." 

"I trust your word. Off you go!"

Then we left the building and flew back to downtown Sacromento and hid in the old building, watching the next move

Chapter 4: Call to Arms!

"We need to leave California now" said Piogon. 

"For once, I agree with you" I said.

"But we should have second thoughts" Piogon said. 

"Maybe we should fight them" I said. 

"We can't cower yet" Piogon added. 

"Yes. Let's go!" I yelled    

Chapter 5: Trick

We went to the base of the owls' and spreaded some false news. I hope the owls believe the lies we're about to say.

Piogon and I go to one of the owls' and tell the owl the lies. 

"What?" he screeches. "Monster birds are going to attack Sacromento and destroy everybody, even us?'

We nod. 

"Sir, sir, monster birds are going to attack Sacromento and destroy everybody, even us!" shouts the owl we told to the captain of the owls.

"What?" exclaims the captain. "Who told you?" 

He points at us. 

"How do you pigeons know this?" commanded the captain. 

"We are fortune-tellers. We know the future."

"That explains it. Owls, let's get out of Sacromento right now!" shouted the captain. 

All the owls left the scene. 

"Yes! Now we can go to the mountains!" exclaimed Piogon.   

"Yes we can." 

Chapter 6: Realized

As my owls and I were flying out of downtown Sacromento, I thought about what day the monsters would attack the city. 

I asked one of my owls. 

"What day did the fortune-tellers said the monsters would attack Sacromento?" I asked one of my owls. 

"They didn't say" replied the owls. 

"It's all right" I said to the owls. 

"See you" said the owl. 

"You too."

I thought hard about the day they were attack the city as we traveled out of Sacromento. 

Suddenly I realized something: in Sacromento, there are no fortune-tellers, especially not pigeons. It was a trick. 

We were almost out of the city and I yelled to my owls so they could stop. I didn't want them to be tricked like I had before.  

"Why are we stopping" asked one of the owls.  

"Because we were tricked!" I yelled to the owls. 

"Are there fortune-tellers in Sacromento? Are there pigeon fortune-tellers here? No! We were tricked! There is nobody attacking Sacromento! Let's go back to downtown Sacromento and go to the old building with the holes! He will show you the way!" 

I pointed to my lieutenant, the owl that chased the pigeons. 

"Go and find the pigeons! Attack them!"       

Chapter 7: Figured it Out

Piogon and I were eating lunch. Later we were going to the mountains of California and see if our moms were there. 

When we were in the middle of eating lunch, I heard the screeching of birds, so I went to see what it was. 

I saw what it was, and I was surprised to see what it was: the owls!

I told Piogon what the screeching was and he was shocked to see what it was like I was as well. 

We both knew what to do: fly as quick as we could to the mountains to find our moms and then fly out of Sacromento. 

So we flew as fast as we could away from the owls.    

Chapter 8: Caught

The owls were flying faster than us and were rapidly gaining on us. We know we were about to be caught. 

A few moments later, they caught us and instead of eating us, they tied thick rope around our waists and they carried us by using their beaks and flew. 

They brought Piogon and I to their base and tied us to stakes, and I have a feeling that they're going to starve Piogon and I.

Chapter 9: How to Escape

 "Piogon, I've got a plan" I said. 

I told Piogon the plan and he liked. Luckily none of the owls were watching me talk to Piogon. 

"Hey, owl" Piogon called to one of the owls. 

The owl went to Piogon. 

"Did you notice something on your back? I think it's hairball or something" said Piogon. 

While the owl was searching for the hairball on his back, I began to pick at the thick rope around Piogon and I, and nobody was watching us! What luck!

In 10 minutes, I had already broke the rope on Piogon and I, and still the owl was searching for the hairball on his back. 

"Where is it?" complained the owl. 

"Right here" said Piogon. 

Then Piogon kicked the owl. 

"Ow!" Hey, this was all a trick! Get them!" screetched the owl. 

Then the owls started to chase us, and the next thing I know, this is going to be a long time until we lose these owls. 

Chapter 10: Another Trick

Soon the owls caught us and we were back to square 1. 

"We've got you two now! You two are very good tricksters, I have to say" said the captain. 

"Yes, we are. But for once can you let us go?" begged Piogon. 

"Why would I?" asked the captain. 

"Because the monsters are coming to destroy Sacromento and you and your owls" exclaimed Piogon. 

Sure enough, there was a helicopter in the air with a sea monster design on the body of the helicopter, making it look like the helicoper was the leader of the monsters.

It was bigger than one owl or even the captain himself, so it looked like it could destroy the city. 

"Where are the other monsters?" asked the captain. 

"Coming soon" I answered. 

"When?" asked the captain. 

"About two days"

"Two days?" Owls, let's get out of Sacromento!" shouted the captain. 

Then all the owls left us, and when we were sure they were gone from the city, we flew as fast as we could to the Californian mountains. 

Chapter 11: The Final Place

When Piogon and I got to the mountains of California, we started to fly around the mountains, looking for our mothers, but just like last time, nothing. 

"Our mothers aren't here. Let's go back home" said Piogon weakly. 

Suddenly an idea popped in my head. 

"China. The Chinese mountains. The final place to go to. Our mothers will be there" I said to Piogon. 

"Then let's go!" yelled Piogon. 

"First stop, Hawaii!" I shouted. 

And then we flew away from the mountains, leaving only the salty sea and California behind us.
