I was meaning to post this earlier on put something else popped up. This week I decided to edit my Zoo Trip Narrative and post it onto my blog. I hope you enjoy reading my Mystery.
Lost But Still To Be Found.
My thirsty eyes flickered with jealously poisoned with a hunger of attention and flooding with hatred. My claws scratching the ground. My mouth scarred with a frown. My heart was stone hard. Only once did it start beating. They started calling his name. Was my name ever called? It would never fit my taste. I laid lazily basking in the streams of light flowing through the cage. He was outside now . He looked drowsy as if someone drugged him. I shook away the thought but still a woman came in and she was not a worker at the zoo
“Hero!Hero!Hero!Hero!”
The zookeeper ordered Hero
“Play dead”
Thee feeder roamed around my cage. He smiled
“You will be the first I feed! I’m glad you are!”
I was confused earlier on someone had fed Hero. Just another crazy Idea
And indeed he did.
Deep in the heart of the crowd a venomous heart smirked. Her soul was to be watched never ever leave such a soul like that lurking around in the dark.
“Up and at it Hero!”
He didn’t move this intrigued me. I stood up pawing at the ground
“Up and at it Hero!”
I roared my mouth opening wider than I expected it to. A member from the crow ran up and felt Hero’s pulse.
She stood up. “He’s gone”
I fell.
The fallen had risen and the risen had fallen yet the scars were still burning. Dishonor came upon my family. We were considered outsiders because we were taken away. These humans I considered friends are absolutely revolting. Right then and there I swore upon the life and death of my brother that from afar I will sacrifice my life her to see who killed him.
My name is Zuraffa.
They started investigating but while the happened rumors sprouted slowly growing into fully mature lies which flowed around the Zoo. After years of mourning I started gathering evidence. There were 3 left but so far I couldn’t handle
Not a single candle burned with evidence of who did this until one day.
Two Zookeepers were mumbling outside my cage the first once whispered
“It has to be the the animal feeder!”Watching
“Why?”
“Check it. One Hero was fed before the show”
“And?”
“Two Hero looked like he could hardly walk after it?”
“So!?!? It could’ve been expired cat food?”
“No it wasn’t we checked the Best - By - Use date it expires next month she poisoned him lets tell the cops.
They walked away just as the another woman walked my fur raised at her voice something about her was wrong. I shook it off just the Zookeepers wife. I walked away. So did she instead she came my way. Her eyes wore the same expression I wore when Hero’s name was being called. She walked away slowly yet her eyes were still burning into my coat.
I couldn't figure out who
Cops and Animal RIghts zoomed past my cage running to a door which boldly stated Animal Feeder. They barged in then a few seconds later came bustling out dragging the Animal Feeder who was pleading her innocence.
One of the cops muttered “ Somethings not right here its not the feeder its”
That very cop ran away to inform the others.A satisfied laugh came from the corner of my cage. I turned around my heart beating.She chuckled mercilessly
“You don’t know me do you?”
I shook my furry head
She chuckled “ good I prefer it that way don’t you ?”
