The Girl and the Moa: Chapter 2 - written by Quillian

 Chapter 2

    When Glory woke up her dad was right above her, shouting orders. Oh, did I mention Glory's Dad was a chief? So Glory was basically a princess! 

    Glory said, "What's wrong?"

    Her Dad said, "We under attack by huge birds!"

    "Why?"

    Today Glory didn't go to the stream like she was supposed to. 

    "Climb up to a high branch, but not too high, otherwise the Haast's Eagle will get you," said Glory to her dad. 

    Glory's dad gave the order to the village and they all scrambled up into the trees. 

    Soon the birds were gone and they were finally safe. 

    The next day Glory woke up really early. She went straight for the creek, hoping Moona was there. She waited for what seemed like hours, but was probably just half an hour. Finally Moona arrived with a very angry face on. 

    Glory said, "Sorry I could not come last time. Your tribe attacked mine!"

    Luna said, "Me tried tell no. They no listen me. Me no telled about you."

    Glory nodded. "I didn't tell about you either. My tribe is going to attack yours tomorrow. Why did your tribe attack us yesterday."

    "You tribe hunting us and we dying," said Moona. To help Glory understand there was a lot of waving of talons and flapping of wings. "We no eat you, meat too chewy. Tomorrow creek really, really early."
