Zoey Rockshindle
Chapter one...
Zoey Rockshindle was born to a wealthy couple who's names were Cecilia and Cody Rockshindle. They lived in South Dakota, in a big house. Zoey was very greedy. She was always asking for things, and saying "Canihavesome?!" She only thought about herself, and whined when she didn't get what she wanted. So one day, a wise crone came to Zoey's huge house when Zoey was about 12 or so, in late June. Cody Rockshindle answered the door.
"What do you want?" He demanded.
"I am only here to see your daughter. This is very important." She replied.
Cody didn't seem convinced. He continued to stand in the doorway, with his arms crossed and one eyebrow raised. Then, a strange connection passed between the two people. The crone's eyes turned a deep blue. Her posture got, somehow, stonger and more powerful. The hairs on the back of Cody's neck stood up, but his gaze did not lift from the crone's eyes. The old woman chanted a few words. Cody saw her power. He stepped aside and led her up to a Zoey's room.
The little girl sat playing with a china doll.
"Who're you? What are you doing in my room?!" Zoey yelled at the crone when she saw her.
"Calm down, young child. I am only here to teach you something. My name is Chinocluc."Then Chinocluc pulled out a cupcake. Zoey licked her lips. "Canihavesome?!" She yelled. But before waiting for an answer, she ran over, yanked it from Chinocluc's hand, and ate a big bite.
Suddenly, Zoey dropped the cupcake and sat down on the bed, shaking all over. She turned pale. She made a funny noise, sort of like a squawk, then shrank and started changing. Her skin began sprouting feathers! After five minutes, there sat Zoey Rockshindle, a glossy black bird. She squawked again, and the noise sounded strangely like 'canihavesome?!'
Chinocluc giggled. "Oh, it's really not that bad. To become human once again, you must prove yourself generous and kind. Good-bye, Zoey."
And the goddess of lessons walked out the door.
