A Turkeys Revenge

Ruled paper

Pablo came over in total shock. Instead of celebrating, we got our necessities in a box of cards. As we got ready, the other animals begged for us to free them. ¨I always was by your side, remember that extra piece of bread I gave you? Well you own me!¨ Those were the things that Pablo and I usually ignored. I was so glad that we left in time. Thanksgiving was the next week, and poor Pablo found out what was going to happen to him from Shawn. Ever since that he hasn't said a word. We walk into the sunset humming, until we hear shouting from the farm. We hid in the bushes as a truck passed by. After it's far away our journey begins. We made it to a strange, dirty, and loud place. We see a sign that reads ¨Welcome to L.A!¨ I guess they were expecting us. As we walked a few people began to take out some strange square objects that I would later find out were phones. They recorded us on the Snap of Chats. I've never used that app. Finally we find a big circle with water shooting out on the top and a pool on the bottom. Pablo and I decided we needed to go in because we were their guests. We couldn't be stinky, or rude. We also needed to freshen up. We hear a lady scream. She makes a sudden phone call. A few minutes later Pablo and I are relaxing in our private pool. A man with a circle metal thing in his hands approaches us. He grabs Pablos neck with it! I try to kick him but he kicks me away. Pablo nods to me, and in tears I run away. About a week goes by and I am living in an alley. A lady with white blonde hair approaches me. She had blonde hair, shiny white teeth, and she was very tall. Behind her was a dog. ¨Hey there, do you want to come with me?¨ she asked. I nodded. I was so hungry, I didn't realize what I had gotten myself into.

I dedicate this book to my sister, who always makes me laugh.

We had the best times together. Unfortunately that all ended when she was kidnapped! It was as if she wanted to be kidnapped! She ran to those evil people who took my sweet Kelly and gave them our secret sign. ¨The old man did something, right?¨ is what you're probably saying right now. Well the answer is no! He smiled and waved as they snatched her up, swung her around, and shoved her into the vehicle! They put some rope around her chest and secured it with a very modern lock. They closed the door and drove away. I knew they did horrible things to her because after months of waiting she returned. I didn't realize it was her until she gave me our secret code. They had stretched her and cut her hair so small parts would be in her face. I studied the peculiar hair. She asked me ¨Do you like my bangs?¨ Bangs? Humans and their strange words. I moved my head up and down as the man with the gray like beard did with the sweet lady who always brought me delightful bread when she was holding something hot in her hands. I believe Pie was the name. She smiled and said ¨You're one smart turkey aren't you? You...¨ she paused. ¨We don't have a name for you yet do we?¨”Kelly said. She made the face where her mouth is like a rainbow. Then she ran away. She started yelling things like ¨Thomas!¨, ¨Nugget!¨, and ¨Jimmy!¨. Finally she yelled ¨Gravy!¨. By then I was tired of her yelling so I walked up to her and said ¨What is it woman! What?!¨ She smiled. Didn't she hear me? To this very day I remain answer-less. She patted my head and said ¨Gravy. What an odd name for a turkey.¨ A turkey? I thought I was a Gravy. Oh well.¨ A few days later my training began. Kelly had brought a video from her home. She turned on the magical square to show my specialty, Kung Fu. She let me into the house as long and she gave me a dreaded bath. Then she put the special cover on the floor and played the video. Everyday it was a different video. Unfortunately, my sweet Kelly never learns. The kidnappers returned and she went with them again. Unfortunately this time she didn't return, but I continued to practice my Kung-Fu in her honor. I grew older and my Kung-Fu was no point. More animals continued to come to the farm, and that was when I finally met dearest Pablo. I began to train Pablo. Almost every night we tried to escape, and each time we failed. The other animals bickered and laughed every single time. Then one time Camilla the Chicken told Charles, ¨He is so weak, that's probably why Kelly left!¨ As she said that I imagined the wood was Camilla and it broke. The barn went quiet.

With corn on my mind, I followed this complete stranger to a large building. She ran into this teleportation device which took us to her home. After she gave me a dreaded bath she allowed me to roam around with her dog, Sunshine. ¨This place is awesome! You're going to love it here!¨ said Sunshine. Things were normal for about a month. It turned out that the lady's name was Dawn. Dawn turned out to be a mechanic and she built a machine that translated everything I said into english. After that things became easier and we communicated more. I finally began to trust her so I told her about Pablo. She seemed as mad as I was and went straight to her computer. She started tapping black cubes with letters on them called a keyboard. She was there for a good 2 hours. Then she looked at me with a smile as if she had a plan. She rushed me to the screen and told me the plan for revenge. ¨Let's do this¨ I said. We found a platform called TokTik where we made videos. These videos kept getting little red hearts from 2K to 3 million! Eventually we got a message from a woman named Karen. Karen added us to a group chat with other fellow vegans. We tell them what happened to Pablo and they are equally upset. We continue to what people call spam the internet with videos trying to spread awareness. We talk in the groupchat about our videos. After another successful video Dawn and I got to the group chat. We are pretty confused because the name was changed from ¨Peace and Love¨ to ¨Pork and Lamb Chops¨. Maybe it's an April fools trick.¨ I say slowly. Dawn replies with a sad ¨Its september...¨. We open the group chat to see so many photos of hamburgers, ribs, steak, and other animals. All of our messages are deleted. We check our account to see no videos and our profile has a picture of a hamburger. The bio says, ¨Forget being vegan, meat rocks!¨.&nbsp; Dawn screams. We are back at the beginning. Excited what happens next? Me too.

I made a tweet. ¨To the people who decided it would be funny to delete our TokTik videos, this means war. Tweets are firing back and forth. I am still trying to find out who did it. Unfortunately I didn't find anything. It seems we are losing. Right when I am about to delete the account I hear a loud sound coming outside from the window. A person in a mask is on the big screen which is on the clock. The person starts explaining what happened to our account. Then on the screen I see a username. Immediately I type it into the search bar and find the account on TokTik. Another pesky 8 year old. We report his account. I search all of the city looking for dawn. I find her in a coffee shop. I tapped on the glass and showed her the good news. ¨Let's go home.¨ she said. Then one day we are relaxing and we get a message. It is from an account called ¨Sanchez179¨. He starts explaining why he exposed the boy.We chat for a while and I feel like I know him. We decide to meet in real life with him. We meet at a local coffee shop and I am shocked. ¨P-Pablo?¨ I say with tears in my eyes. ¨Hello Gravy.¨ he says. I have never heard his voice before so I am in awe. I tell him all about what happened after I lost him. ¨So you did all of that, for me?¨ he asked. ¨Of course I did! Your like my brother.¨ After a few arrangements we find a nice man who takes us to the barn. It was hard saying goodbye to Dawn and Sunshine but Pablo and I had a new mission, to get home. It turns out we need to be adopted to go into our town so, the nice man adopts us. Finally we get there and the place doesn't look the same. We made sure the address was right, and it was. ¨Maybe the got an upgrade¨ I said hopefully. We go to the front to see a big m on the roof. ¨M-c-D-o-n-a-l-d-s. What does that mean?¨ Pablo asks.&nbsp; ¨It means our farm has been replaced by a fast food restaurant!¨ I shouted. We made a plan to get our farm back. We collected a few rocks and threw them at the see-through door known as glass. We hear screaming and shouting. We laugh because we thought we won. We didn’t. A man with a big mustache looks at us and makes a phone call. Pablo and I have learned from our mistakes so we make a run for it. We heard shouting but we didn't care. We kept running until we made sure we were not being followed. Legend has it we are still on the run, and we are. Oh, Pablo says hi by the way. Well we have a train to catch. The End

Out of nowhere the screen starts getting static. Eventually it turns off. We turn it on, only to find all of our work has been deleted. In pure panic Dawn Leaves, and I don´t stop her. Now you're probably wondering what I'm talking about. Well let's rewind, shall we? This&nbsp;story begins a very long time ago. I was living at a farm for a while until the man in the blue jeans and plaid shirt came. He instantly took me before I could say goodbye to anyone. Well maybe it was because I was a small turkey. Well once we left I got into the vehicle of the man with a gray like beard and the little girl made a high pitched squeal. I panicked and fell from the seat. The little girl picked me up and smiled. The older man said, ¨Doesn't he look delicious?¨ The girl's eyebrows narrowed down towards her nose. ¨No, looks more like a friend!¨ she said sternly back. ¨A friend? What is a friend?¨ I wondered. My mind already thought of the worst. ¨Friend must be some sort of code for dinner!¨ I thought to myself. I flapped my wings as fast as I could, praying she would let me go! Then she hugged me. My fears melted away from the warmness inside of my heart. It was like we had our own language where she explained everything. I knew she wasn't my friend deep inside though, she was my best friend.
