Aspen And The Tale Never Told.

Prologue: Apsen Willowson, A story of a girl some may relate to. I know I can. Dear Readers, You are in for an adventure that´s for sure but my hope and prayer is that you may not just read this book but truly read this book there is more than meets the eye. Hidden truths within that might or might not just shape your life forever. Well Iv´e said Enough Let The Tale begin.

                                                          CHAPTER ONE

Aspen was popular its true but not among humans. Instead she had a certain high ranking among the creatures of the woods, the creeks, the rivers, and most of all her own backyard and home. You See to put it more simply Aspen Loved Animals and Animals Loved Aspen And its possible but I doubt it that this was simply because there names shared the same First letter A. No its much more Likely the relationship she had with them and they had with was because of her Fearless attempts to stop human kind from destroying there homes. Her genuine interest in them and how the lived, Her Never trailing off love for them, and Her Practically Perfect As Mary Poppins would say Care for them.

 Apsen Woke up one Up One Spring filled early May Morning To Her black and white mini lop bunny Kiwi Pulling at her Bedspread. Kiwi lived In Aspens room and as Aspens Mother liked to say You live In Kiwis room not Vise versa. Aspen got out of Bed and stretched and Yawned  as Kiwi jumped and pawed impatiently  at her leggings. Aspens Light Brown Hair was in an Unruly mess Aspen Payed no attention to it. She tied it up but as quick as she could in a tight bun and began her day. Kiwi Was now in a state of utter revolt  he wanted his breakfast. Aspen laughed as she poured half a cup of pellets in his dish and refilled his litter box with plenty of Hay. She rinsed and refiled his water dish. and Then after some snuggles and some spot cleaning She said bye to Kiwi. Kiwi refused to say Bye back he hated when she left. Aspen could not exactly explain to Kiwi that she had other think to do than rub the back of his head. Aspen Fed her Betta fish, And all her Finches, lets not forget Emerson her Hamster. Emerson loves her daily dose of a couple peanuts. You See Aspen had over a hundred animals. So I can not possibly name all of them but I will try but if I leave some out I do hope They won´t be offended. Aspen had a 2 Parakeets Molly and Maya, Maya was yellow and Molly was blue and white. She took care of them. And a few other pets and headed down the stairs. Her Grandpas 8 month old Cavalier puppy Belle Jumped and Jumped on Aspen. Aspen Rubbed Belle´s ears and told her she was `precious. Then she took care of all her baby chicks in her house some of them had a Mama hen. and lets not forget Her other very small tan dwarf  bunny Peanut, she fed and petted him. Now I think I will skip the part when she cared for her ducklings and her quail lets skip to the part where she just walks out of her back door and begins the walk to her Mini Homestead with her 9 year old yellow lab Star trotting behind her. 

Aspen Had started her very own Mini Homested.

Aspen Rogerson And The 10 pros of a FARM

Aspen Rogerson Was like any other 13 year old girl. 

Only well she was not....

When Aspen Was 4 she got a Puppy. But Aspen Love for animals did not stop there no no even close to there! 

By the Time Aspen was 13 Aspen had over 90 Animals.... And She did not plan to stop getting more anytime soon.

This is her story. If happen to be a kid who hopes for even  1 pet then this story might just help you get that one pet.

No promises but give this a try! 

Chapter One

When Aspen Turned 10 she decided instead of having tons of Frogs Turtles Newts and Lizards, She wanted to shift her focus to have mostly just Finn Sheep, Tiny quail, New Ducks, and Lavender Orpington chickens as well as many other types of chickens. 

By The time she turned 12 she already had 3 sheep 60 chickens 10 ducks 7 quail and a bunch of other  animals. 

By the time she was 13 She had huf huf wait for it... 4 Sheep 85 chickens 11 ducks 7 quail 2 bunnies 

1 hamster 12 zebra finches 2 parakeets 1 leopard gecko 2 dogs 1 beta fish and I think that't it.

Anyways Aspen Had 2 siblings Two brothers. Both older she was the youngest sibling. She Had A Mom and A Dad they where both ordinary parents. EXCEPT THEY WHERE NOT the home schooled 3 kids and they let one of there kids take care of 128 animals..... AND NOT ONE OF THE ANIMALS WAS AN ANT. 

So Trust me IF Aspen could have that many Animals you could get the 1 your hoping and dreaming for whatever it is. 

Here Is what it Is Like for aspen to Take Care of all those Animals every DAY: 

Aspen Woke up that morning sweaty the night had been hot June was only 2 days away. Aspen Got out of bed sighed and began her day. The First Animal Aspen Cared for was Cashew One of Her Bunnies. Cashew lived free roam in her room ( HE WAS LITTER BOX TRAINED )

"Morning Cash Da Man!"  Aspen said sweetly as Cashew pawed at her legs. Aspen Changed Cashews litter box Put fresh hay in it made sure he had plenty of cold water and then gave him some pellets.

After tidying up his place she gave her Beta Fish Royal a couple of his pellets. She then headed towards the old pet room. A TINY room Which use to house tons of Reptiles and Amphibians but no only housed 1 Reptile A leopard gecko named spot. Aspen Changed Her 12 zebra finches water dishes and filled up there bowls with there seed mix. She then did the same for Her Parakeet Gloria. Aspen then

Now my friends this may sound fun to you all. But do this every day for 1 year and then tell me again was it fun?

                                                       CHAPTER ONE The Journey

Lucy, Elsie, Lyla, Emmeline, & Skye where on there way to the Eyre reuinoun which was at Bear Lake ID.

Lucy was heading up to Bear Lake form Arizona,

Elsie was heading up to Bear Lake from Hawaii,

Lyla Was Driving Up to bear lake from Provo.

Emmeline was driving up to Bear Lake from SLC,

And Skye Was Flying Up to bear lake for Boston Massachusetts. 

Everyone Was so excited! Of course everyone was heading up to Bear Lake at different times, Skye arrived there last.

Once All The LeLe's had arrived at bear lake they all headed down to the water at the lake. 

"It's sorta wavy guys epic!" Elsie said excitedly

They all climbed down the ladder of the dock and began to swim when,

Elsie splashed Lyla, Lyla splashed Emmeline, Emmeline Splashed Skye and Skye Splashed Lu. Lu was about to splash Skye When suddenly a giant whirlpool formed a tugging began to pull all of them They all began to try frantically to swim to the dock Elsie almost got there but the current pulled her.

 "Where going in!" Lyla Screamed frantically 

"You guys we have to try to swim to the dock!" Emmeline screamed but alas the whirlpool sucked them all in one by one,

"Help" They Screamed no one seemed to see or hear them it was like a dream at last there screams died away as the whirlpool sucked them all in. Once they where in The Whirlpool Disappeared. Just like that Poof they where sucked in. It Seemed as through everything was black and then suddenly..

                                                       Chapter 2 Arrival

Skye landed on her back on something hard she screamed she jumped up to behold a rock, 

which was not out of the ordinary but what was out of the ordinary was the giant Parrot-like Bird in a tropical looking tree above her the bird was the size of a small house, She Screamed again, The bird Began to 

Speak, " Now, Now, Now, What do we have here? Huh now odd verrry odd must tell my master he will

 know what to do" the ground vibrated as the parrot like sound of the bird talking came out. Then with 

one giant swish the Giant bird flew away. Skye fell back on to the rock, ouch What in the world was going on this was definitely not bear lake. Where where the other LeLe's Was this a dream? In a flash her 

memory came back the giant whirlpool everything. She pinched herself several times before she was

 sure this could not be a dream. Skye Had read countless Adventure stories but to be in one was 

terrifying there was no reassuring ending if you wanted to skip to you could. Just as Skye sat up again to look around the place she was in, a giant Parrot like bird swished over her and picked her up with his talons 

"You got to be kidding me" Skye said out loud but what she wanted to do was scream but she was to shocked to no voice came out.  I'm sure if you where picked up by a giant parrot the size of a house suddenly you too would lose your voice out of surprise, but I'm afraid there is only one way to find out all I can recommend you do is to go to bear lake and wait for a giant whirlpool to suck you in to another world where there are giant parrots who will gladly pick you up then we will truly fine out. now back to the story..

 

The birds Talons scratched her back horribly. Must bring you to Master so says he says there are more of your kind there want to question you you Mmmust bring you to Master" The Giant bird muttered under his breath which was still very loud like a human screaming. Whilst being dangled from over 200 feet off the ground Skye began to observe this new place, From what she could see There where lots and lots of trees they looked very tropical there was also a beach, and  huge light blue colored ocean There where many birds. All different bright colors and sizes but none of them where as big as the bird that was carrying her. To Skye it looked like an Island. But she did not know for sure. After a bit she began to see what looked like a city of tree houses and walkways It looked like a civilization in the trees. IT was amazing to behold to Skye's surprise instead of humans walking on the wood walkways/bridges there where giant birds.

 Not as big as the bird that grabbed her but still big.

 Maybe the size of a small car. Skye noticed that the trees here where much much bigger than the ones Where she lived each tree was the height of a of the length of a 2 football fields some where much longer and they where all  practically as thick as an average  house. Just as Skye was starting to sort of relax a bit more well as much as you possibly could relax being carried by a giant bird hundreds of feet above the ground and in an unknown land. The Bird or Parrot as it was a Parrot, dived down to one of the tree houses this one was obviously larger much much larger than the other tree houses she had seen. Skye realized that the where simply giant bird houses in trees the only reason Skye thought they where human like tree houses was because of how big they where. It was though much nicer and built prettier than your average bird house.  The bird dropped her from about 2 feet she fell on her back so she fell sort of hard by now her back was hurt by a rock, scratched by talons and bruised from a two foot fall to Skye's  back the day could not get any worse. TO Skye the day could The Parrot that carried her made a shrill sound sort of like a whistle but odder. The Huge Doors to the tree house was opened by two Smaller parrots. And One of them said: "Welcome to Parrots Perfectly Precise Pretty Palace Enter" 

Skye could not help a a small snuffed up laugh The name was so funny, Luckily it was so quiet compared to the Parrots speech that the did not hear her. Just as we seemingly  huge humans to mice do not understand rather can not hear  when a mouse laughs.  The Giant parrot Lead her through the door past several door down a long hallway there was straw on the ground of the hallway with several Paintings of Giant Parrots next to smaller ones. On the walls, Skye guessed they where generations of Parrot Royalty. Finally After Going up a very long windy staircase that was mad of wood that did not look hardly stable enough to climb on for a human for if a parrot fell it could always just fly. And after crossing it seemed like a mile long hall. The Giant Parrot Knocked or should I say hit the door a few times with the tip of his beak.  "ENTER" came a booming voice louder than any voice Skye had ever heard. 

The Parrot opened the doors that where decorated with wood engravings of flowers Skye was looking at a Beautiful Rose engraving when the doors finally opened all the way and Skye Followed the Parrot In.

"Lu, Em, Lyla, Elsie!" What are you guys doing here! Skye said the minute she stepped inside  But her next comment was stopped from happening abruptly when she saw The Enormous Parrot Brightly colored and wearing a Shining Giant Crown Sitting on A throne on the left side of them. 

"Bow To His Majesty!" Said the Parrot that had brought her There.  Skye Did not move dumbfounded Lyla Mouthed to her "Bow right now or Else!" 

So Right before the Servant Parrot made her Skye bowed. The Huge Parrot With the Crown Skye assumed the King Parrot motioned to the Parrot that had brought her there to leave. The parrot did so. Once he had gone The King Parrot began to speak. 

"WHAT BRINGS YOU AND YOUR KIND TO THE LAND OF PARROTFECT?" 

The Other Lele's Joined Skye on the front of the King Parrots Throne. "We where sucked in From a giant whirlpool from bear lake" Elsie said Stuttering 

"YOU FOOLS WHAT WORLD IS BEAR LAKE?" 

"Your Majesty, Bear lake is a lake in Idaho, Idaho is part of The united states and the united states is part of earth, and I'm guessing this is not earth...."  replied Emmeline  

"EARTH? WHY  MY GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT

GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT GREAT

 GRANDPA WAS FROM THERE,

 HE WAS A TINY PARROT BUT WHEN HE CAME TO THIS LAND FROM FALLING INTO A CRACK FROM A MOUNTAIN, HE WAS SO TIRED AND HE FALL FROM THE SKY WHILE CARING A MEASSEGE  TO HIS MASTER.. ANYWAYS 

 THE AIR HERE MADE HIM BIGGER AS IT DOES TO ALL ITS INHABITS THE TREES AS WELL THE VERY LAND GROWS,

 EVERY SECOND EVERYTHING GROWS BIGGER HERE,

WELL MY GREAT....etc GRANDPA HE FOUND A LONE AND ONLY LARGE GIRL PARROT HERE THAT HAD COME TO THIS LAND BY MEANS OF GOING INTO A CAVE THAT LEAD HER HERE,

ANYWAYS  THEY ARE MY ANCESTORS, THE ONLY CREATURE THAT LIVES ON THIS ISLAND ARE PARROTS IF YOU WHERE WONDERING ANYWAYS, NOW WHAT ARE YOU  WHAT SORT OF CREATURES ARE YOU?"

It appeared that this King parrot was quite talkative. 

"We are Humans " Said Lyla bravely 

"HUMANS? HUMANS? WHY WHY YOUR KIND IS WHAT THIS LAND NEEDS TO FULFILL THE PROPHESY!" 

"um what prophesy? Skye said worriedly

"The Prophesy that will save us all!" boomed the King Parrot.

"Thanks that explains  a lot" Skye Replied sarcastically 

"THE LEGEND SAYS THAT 5 HUMANS MUST BREAK THE RAVA STONE BEFORE THE LAST PETAL FALLS ON THE DAISY OF LIFE, THEN THIS ISLAND WILL BECOME MUCH GREATER AND ONLY GOOD WILL BE, NO EVIL THE RAVA STONE IS THE EVIL THAT THREATENS TO GROW AND MAKE EVIL EVEN MORE POWERFUL SO POWERFUL IT WILL SPEARD TO OTHER LANDS, WORLDS, AND UNIVERSES, THERE WERE THERE RAVA STONES TWO HAVE BEEN DESTRYOED THIS IS THE LAST STONE, THE DAISY OF LIFE IS FADING SLOWLY BUT SURELY,  THUS ONLY 5 HUMANS CAN BREAK THE STONE, THIS IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR MY WHOLE LIFE MY FATHER WAITED FOR HIS WHOLE LIFE MY GREATGRANDFATHER WAITED FOR HIS WHOLE LIFE AND SO ON! YOU 5 MUST FIND THE RAVA STONE AND QUICK!"

 

Skye pointed out that they where also all growing bigger by the second.

Em worriedly pointed out that if they where ever to return to There earth they would be huge.

Lu Was the only one who fearlessly told the king Parrot "If we find and destroy this Stone will you help us return to our home land normal sized?" 

" YOUR WISH WILL BE GRANTED WHEN TIME PERMITS" 

"Whatever that means.." Muttered Elsie  

"But how are we supposed to destroy the Rava stone?" Em asked 

"HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT? YOUR ARE THE HUMANS! NOW GO BE GONE AND FIND AND DESTROY THAT STONE BEFORE A FORTNIGHT PASSES AND IF YOU DO NOT SUCCEEDED ALL OF YOU HUMANS WILL BE DESTROYED PROMPTLY" 

Lyla shuddered as did all the girls. As you would to if Giant parrots wanted to kill you. TWO GUARD PARROTS GRABBED THE GIRLS ONE HAD THREE IN ITS TALLONS THE OTHER had TWO THEY FLEW TO A CERTAIN SPOT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN UNKNOWN FOREST AND WITH ENOUGH FOOD FOR A DAY OR SO AND WATER FOR A FEW THEY DROPPED OF THE LELE"S TO THERE OWN FATE 

They landed on leaves and dirt on the bottom of the forest floor.

"OUCH" MY back kills! Em cried

"Don't all of ours!" Skye commented groaning 

" I think I sprained my ankle" Lyla said examining her foot. 

"I HATE PARROTS!" Lu said and all the other girls agreed 

"Well you guys we have to figure out some sort of plan we only have a week!" Elsie replied importantly

" Can you believe only parrots live here?" Skye said examining the trees not doubt looking for sighins of other creatures."

"Our parents are probably freaking out right now looking for us." Em added 

"Or maybe its like Narnia and no time passes at all when we are away!" Lyla replied hopefully 

"Doubt it but maybe" Lu answered 

"How did you guys get to the Parrot Palace?" Skye asked "I fell on a rock and a parrot carried me there." Skye finished 

"I fell in a tree and a parrot found me and carried me there.." Em said shuddering.

"I fell in the water and a giant fish was about to swallow me when a parrot grabbed me and carried me to the palace. that is why I am soaking!" Lu said as water dripped from her shirt, 

"Aha so there are other creatures in the water just not on the island!" Skye concluded happily 

"I fell on the top of a tree house or bird house and a parrot found me there and well yeah carried me to the parrot palace." Elsie said simply "But anyways we have to break that stone so we can get home!" Elsie said louder this time.

"Does anyone have any ideas?" And so it went on till it was decided that Em's Idea to find the nearest stone quarry area and look for the Rava stone was decided on. The only problem was they did not even know if there was one. They only had a days supply of food and a couple days supply of water this was not going to be easy. After a day of walking though it seemed as if they where in the exact same forest area at least it seemed like the exact same forest area because all the forest was practically identical, Well they still had no luck and they began to lose hope. When as if out of nowhere a Huge Stag appeared from the greenery. 

Elsie was the first to spot it and she calmly said "Guys keep your cool, whatever you do don't scree-" But she was cut off as the others Lele's saw the Stag and Screamed

"So much for that" Elsie Muttered under her breath    

The Stag turned its head towards them and made eye contact with them. 

Skye Took a step toward it whispering "Hush, We won't hurt you, now, can you talk? can you help us?" 

 

The stag Took a step toward Skye and spoke his voice was low strong and powerfull

 " You Must Help Us" He said 

"Wait a Minute, I thought there where only parrots on this Island!" Elise pointed out quizzically

" That's what those blasted parrots want you to believe! They took over our home and made it theirs!" The Stag responded 

" Who is We?' Skye asked 

The Stag moved so that behind him in the distance of the forest you could see thousands of Deer, Wild Stallions, Pony's, and Bears.

"That's We We are the true inhabitants of this Island it started with the Stallions then the Ponies then the deer and finally the bears, We call ourselves The Rava's " 

"We where sent on a mission to destroy the Rava stone, do you know where it is?" Emmeline asked 

"You Must Not Break it by any means! do not listen to those two faced parrots!" "That stone is what is keeping us alive those perfectly dreadful parrots have already destroyed two if the succeed to destroy this last one we will all die and the Island will be theirs all of it" The stag finished

"But the parrot said we where the chosen 5.." Lucy commented 

" You are the chosen five, But by no means to destroy the Rava stone but to destroy those blood thirsty parrots, You will free us from the curse of living in the shadows, The King Parrot fears we will fight back but we are two weak now that he has destroyed 2 stones now all he wants is to finish us off,  When he found you he must of feared you so he made up a perfectly untrue story to fool you into destroying the stone when what you need to do is destroy him, What a perfectly sly stupid serpent!!"  He responded.

"But how are we going to get home?" Skye asked

" Alas I can not answer every question you ask here we are not safe parrot spy's could be near come follow me girls I will take you to our kingdom or should I just say dom for we have not a king."

                                                    CHAPTER ONE  River

River Tell Was no ordinary 13 year old girl. River Had a big heart that never stopped growing, River also had a mansiory of animals that never stopped growing, By the time river turned 13 she had over 100 animals, of course having 80 chickens did help that number grow a bit. (: River Was home schooled along side her 2 older brothers Boston and Jack. Her best friend had moved to Oregon a year ago and River missed her terribly. River loved making friends whether they where toddlers teenagers or adults. Her outgoing enthusiastic spirt was contagious, Other girls her age however seemed to be the least likely friends for River they seemed to always act rude around her The nicer River was to them the Ruder they where to River, either way river was as hard to be put down as as the same side magnets are to stick together. She Was as full as Joy as most Americans are of full of  Big Mac's.

River loved to sing her voice was deep low and rich it was like creamy nutella. River Also loved to write stories even though she began far far more than she finished. The one sport she loved was X country to River running felt like flying. Her hair was long and sandy blonde she had dark brown eyes  the color of chocolate and a dash of freckles she was a decent height for her age. Her skin was tan from spending so much time outside. Out of all the things river had wanted to become when she aged Becoming a Field Scientist was on the top of her imaginary list. 

That Monday Morning In Montpelier Vermont,  River was packing her suitcase the next day she would be on her way to the Blake Reunion. This was Rivers 2nd year going, The last time was when River was 5 years old 6 years ago, River did not know what to expect she was excited to go but she would really miss her animals. You see River was not a true Blake that's why they did not go to the reunion every year Her dad had lived with the Blake family but he was not actually one of Rhonda and Luke's kids Rhonda and Luke had had 11 kids and every single one of those kids except for 1 had at least three kids each. Thus They had the Blake Reunion ever year at Bear Lake ID 

This year River and Her Family, Her Dad Issac, her Mom Lily, and her brothers Where going to the reunion. Rivers brothers Issac and Jack where 15 and 18 years old Jack being the older brother.

Thanks to Face-Time and such like things River was able to keep In touch with the other 4 girls in her group called the READD's Elsa, Anna, Delilah, and Daisy. Both Elsa and Daisy where also 13 but Delilah was 12 and Anna was 11. 

River listened to a Hermit Thrush sing it's song as she packed her suitcase she wonderded what the other girls where doing and if they where getting ready to go.

                                                 Chapter 2  Elsa
