I spread my beautiful wings right in front of his face . My beak shone under dawn ’ s warm sunlight . Peck ! Peck ! Peck ! Bull ’ s-eye .
“ Ouch !” He yelled and landed on his butt again , “ Oh , it was you .” He gave me an annoyed look . “ Yup ! You made up those lies . Now go again when there ’ s still light !” I yelled .
“ Stop it . I ’ m gonna go deaf if you keep it up like this ! I got it , bring food right ? Just leave it to me .” He groaned .
“ It ’ s midnight and Ba Jie isn ’ t back ?” Wujing seemed to be worried . “ Don ’ t tell me he fell asleep again !” and I soared through the sky on my own to look for him . There he was ! “ Finally , we can eat ! Let ’ s go back !” I got all fired up . “ Shifu ’ s gone !” Ba Jie yelled , “ Wujing too ! Only our horse is left !” “ White dragon ! What happened to Shifu and Wujing ?”
“ The wolves took them ,” His voice trembled weakly . “ They decided they didn ’ t need a horse so they left me here , wounded .”
“ Where did they go ?”
“ They went to the peak ,” He continued , “ They seem to gain their power from the moon . It ’ s full moon tonight so they will be the strongest !”
“ Shifu will be eaten ! I bet they ’ re having a feast on this full moon ’ s night !” Ba Jie stated . “ I ’ m going now !” I insisted . “ But it ’ s too dangerous !”
“ We don ’ t have a choice . You two can stay here and look after the luggage . If I don ’ t come back in five days . You must not delay it .”
I left and flew under the moon , searching for the highest peak .
“ Shifu , please be safe .” I snapped out of my thoughts as I saw a campfire . I squinted my eyes at the dancing black dots around the fire . They were wolves .
“ We ’ ve got intruders .” I heard them say . They all disappeared into black puffy smoke . Only a bulky one stood beside Shifu , guarding their treasure .
“ Give Shifu back !” I ordered . “ No way !” He stood his ground and swung his mace at me . I did a black flip and dodged it . I felt a sharp pain at the back of my head , and then I blacked out with a thud .
I felt the ground shaking . Someone was shaking me . My eyes fluttered open . My sight was blurry for a second or two , and then I saw the most disgusting pig face .
