Reina's feathers were ruffled and rumpled. She mentally sighed. When was this torture going to end? Between feeding the Ebony Chick and remaking her nest every time he destroyed, Reina didn't have much time to take care of her mandatory needs. She barely got the chance to feed herself, get a drink of water, and stretch her wings. She could never sleep, for the chick's constant squeaking kept her up. The only time that the chick was still was as he was eating. He seemed to concentrate on the food that was set in front of him. Reina was so frustrated. She should have left Tall Rocks while she still had the chance. Too bad that the chance was long gone. She knew that if she left, the Ebony Chick would follow her, never giving her peace and quiet.
Reina realized that something was truly amiss. Some bird had planned this, depriving her of food and sleep, of water and flying. Someone had to be behind this psyched-out conspiracy.
Only one bird came to her mind, a bird that over the years had proven themself to be cunning and crazy. A bird that had been jealous of Reina ever since she had claimed the nest at Tall Rocks.
Well, I will show her, thought Reina, a touch of darkness contaminating her thoughts...
