Kimilia

Kimilia woke up from her rest on the large branch, stretching her wings she opened her eyes sleepily. Time to wake up already? She thought. Her nap was long and peaceful. At least there are no pesky squirrels around.

Kimilia was a Krawis, a bird that acts all high and mighty above all others, they are neither light nor dark. Krawis are huge birds of prey who call themselves the kings and queens of all other birds. Kimilia is a disgrace to them all for "eating like a hog" as they say, Krawis are supposed to be delicate eaters. Kimilia was against that, she was growing and young. She felt that it wasn't her fault that she ate so much. It was only her family who new this.

Kimilia acted the same around the public and her family. Around her family she was fun and loving, some times she was scoffy, bossy, and prim (she was only scoffy and prim in front of someone she had not met before). Most Krawis at her school had one friend each or none at all. Everyone had straight A's except for Kimilia, she gets bored with school. Krawis are at school very often and the teachers say they are supposed to be 'perfect' in every way, her teachers would nag her about it. Kimilia got in trouble all of the time and the teachers thought she was just an absolute trouble-maker. This angered her parents very much, she gets very frequent lectures.

Kimilia swooped down to the ground off the tree and said aloud. "I'm feeling hungry, maybe a snake would do me good," other birds of prey ate snakes, Krawis did not ever eat snake except for Kimilia. After she had a tasty meal, she would take a mud bath to see what trouble she could get into.

Kimilia flew up and glided near the ground to search for snake holes, flying around she did front flips and back flips until she started to glide and look more carefully. Eventually she found a snake hole. She saw a snake poking it's toungue out of the hole. Easy prey. Darting down for it she poked her beak inside and started to poke around, instead the snake charged out and slithered on her beak, soon it was all over her. It tickled so much that she roared in laughter, then the snake bit her right by her left wing. Good thing the snake wasn't poisonous. Kimilia's expression changed as the pain surged through. "Ow!" She exclaimed. She shook the snake off and flew away at full speed. "I'll show that snake soon enough,"

As Kimilia neared home she saw her mother flying up ahead. She wished she could hide her snake bite. Her mother called over to her and said.

"Getting into trouble again, Kimilia?"

Kimilia gulped and said. "No, I was just... hunting but I failed to catch the prey."

Her mother scoffed frustratingly and asked. "What were you hunting?"

"Uh... moose," she lied.

"No you weren't," her mother could tell if Kimilia was lying for she was a terrible liar. "Moose don't live around these parts."

Kimilia didn't know what to say so she flew away immediately. Mom thinks she is so perfect and wonderful. She looked behind her to see her furious pursuing mother. She shook her head and rolled her eyes. That meant another lecture when they reached home.
