Chapter 2 - Mysterious Happenings

—Tanya’s actionAs Tanya cautiously approaches the source of the rustling noise in the nearby brush, her eyes begin to adjust to the dim light filtering through the foliage. Based on the rustling sounds and the occasional glimpses of movement among the leaves, she has a strong suspicion that it's a small dog. Its presence is becoming more evident as it continues to explore the area nearby.

Tanya anticipates that it will likely soon emerge from the brush, a prospect that could potentially startle the pigeons and disrupt their interaction with the unusual birds.

As Tanya whispers her concern about the potential arrival of a dog, the tension in the air escalates. The group of pigeons, still fixated on the scattered bread and broken mirror, momentarily freeze in response to the "smartest" bird's utterance of "Hush." The rustling in the brush grows louder. The one pigeon that has yet to speak finally breaks its silence, its voice amplified in panic as it issues a warning to the group, "Beware the scourge of the wood approaches."

A small white dog suddenly leaps out of the brush, its fluffy white coat rustling as it darts toward the group of pigeons and the kids. Chaos erupts as the pigeons scatter in all directions.

Amidst the chaos, Robbie reacts swiftly. She lunges toward the pigeon, her hand closing around its small body. She has successfully caught the bird.

As the dog barks excitedly and continues to chase after the pigeons, the remaining birds scatter further, their mechanical voices chattering in alarm.
