Stellar Stories edition 2

“Uh…would you girls like hot chocolate?” asked the owl
awkwardly, breaking the silence.
Alexis and Charlotte nodded. The owl quickly flew into the
kitchen and brought back cups of hot chocolate. They sat
by the fireplace, drinking.
“Yum! This hot cocoa is delicious!” said Charlotte, making
herself more comfortable.
“What’s your name?”
“I’m Owlett, the guardian of this forest,”
“I’m Alexis, and this is my friend Charlotte,”
“Nice to meet you,” said Owlett politely. She looked at the
clock on the wall across from them. “You two should
better go to bed, it’s getting really late.”
Owlett led the girls to the upper level. There was nothing
there except a dog bed and hay.
“Is this where we're going to sleep?” asked Charlotte,
crouching from the small space around her.
Owlett's wing suddenly shot a blue electric light. The next
thing they knew, the girls saw a luxury in front of their eyes.
The dog bed and bits of hay had disappeared. There were
two beautiful, soft beds.
“Wow!” exclaimed Alexis and Charlotte as they tucked
beneath the blankets.
“How did you do that?” asked Alexis.
Owlett left the room without saying a word.
Chapter Three: The Future
The next morning, both girls woke up early in the morning
from the lovely sound of chirping birds. They hurried down
the stairs and found Owlett cooking up some breakfast.
“You humans wake up so late,” said Owlett, without turning
to look at them.
“It’s seven a.m. though!” cried Charlotte.
