"Caw caw. Stupid girl, we're hungry, feed us." The crows demand.
"Not now, I'm tired and need to practice my magic." I lay motionless on the dewy grass.
"STOP. Do not mention that poisoned word." The crows cried out, swarming me.
"Please, leave me alone! I'll burn you wretched things! Every last one of you!"
But they didn't stop. The cuts tore through my pretty clothes and left bald patches.
I'd had enough.
my name is dove, but I am the Crow Queen.
these gashes have healed
and my title is all that I have conquered, and nothing more
the songbirds take care of me
I wear a crown of lilies instead of roses
I ran faster than I ever had. So fast I didn't realize I had stopped. I was in Crow's arms.
"Feed us stupid girl. Feed us." The crows hissed.
"No." I told them
"Feed us stupid girl. Feed us!" The crows growled, louder they got larger and hungrier every second.
