Lily and Tom were playing hide and seek in the park. Lily was the seeker and Tom was the hider. Lily counted to ten and then looked for Tom. She saw a big bush with a feather sticking out of it. She thought Tom was hiding there.
She ran to the bush and peeked behind it. But it was not Tom. It was a big, angry bird with sharp claws and a long beak. The bird did not like Lily peeking at it. It screeched and flew at Lily. It scratched her face and pulled her hair. Lily screamed and cried.
Tom heard Lily's scream and came out of his hiding spot. He saw the bird attacking Lily. He was scared and did not know what to do. He wanted to help Lily, but he was too small and weak. He wished he had a stick or a stone to throw at the bird.
The bird did not stop hurting Lily. It was not an ordinary bird. It was a mean and hungry bird. It wanted to eat Lily. It bit her neck and dragged her into the bush. Lily stopped screaming and crying. She was gone.
Tom was alone and sad. He wished he had never played hide and seek. He wished he had never seen the feather. He wished Lily was still with him. He ran to find his mom and dad. He hoped they could save Lily. But it was too late. The end.
