HULL HOUSE Michelle The Big Turky Escape (13)

HULL HOUSE Michelle  The Big Turky Escape (13)

As soon as Maria left the room, Michelle heard another sound behind the couch.

Scratch !  Scratch ! Scratch !

Oh, no ! It's in here with me !

Scratch !  Scratch ! Scratch !

And it has claws.

Michelle opened her mouth to scream for Mariaーthen she snapped it shut again.

If I yell, the animal will know I'm here, she thought.
And then it will come 

Michelle waited.

Trying not to move.
Trying no to breathe too loud.  

No rushing sound.
No scratching.

Maybe it's gone.I'll just ake a tiny peek. Mihelle thought.

She inched her way up until she could over the back of the couch.

A pair of the meanest  eyes she had ever seen glared back at her !

" Maria ! " Michelle screamed.
" It's in here ! "

Maria ran into the living room.
" Hey ! You were right, Michelle. I shoud have known. That Turky is always sneaking into the house ! " she exclaimed.

Turkey ?

Michelle sat all the way up  and stared the creature.

Yep, it was a turkey all right.
