Ash,age 10

I was doing my daily 10 push ups as I hear some English

Wait English- we only speck piglin- oh no..

...

Humans

I dive behind a pile of rocks as I hear footsteps

I heard more English as I heard a rock get kicked by me- maybe thrown over

I looks at the rock before peeking out the side to see a piglin- but...human?

I see he's walking with a...bird man?

The world is weird, that's why I stay in my cave

The piglin turned around as I ducked behind the rocks before his head fully turned

I heard for English before I heard piglin- well piglin with a very heavy English accent

"If your behind the rocks come out, we don't want to hurt you" the piglin said as I stayed behind the rocks

I heard the footsteps go near the rocks as I go around to the other side so now we swapped places

I waiting till I heard English before running near the entrance of the cave Before stopping and grabbing a handmade satchel

I run out as I heard footsteps behind me as I kept running picking up speed

"We won't hurt you" the piglin human said as I looked behind me briefly to see the bird man flying onto the air as the piglin human sees me slowing down, since I looked back

He runs faster to get to close for comfort

I run as fast as I can as I try to look for gold, maybe my instincts can put run him

"There's a cliff ahead" the piglin human said as I heard what sounded like wind waves come from above me

I keep running as I reached the cliff

Without hesitation I jump

I instantly regret it as I see lave beneath me

I scream and close my eyes as I feel my body going to the side and not downwards

I open my eyes to see the bird human

I try to wiggle my way out of his grip and he yells down human words before launching up and went in a circle before landing

He set me down as I tried to run

The piglin human grabbed my arm

"Sit"the piglin said as I tried to escape his grasp

"I'll let you go once you sit- by me" the piglin said as I kept trying

He pulled me closer to him and set a hand on my shoulder and pushed me down making me go onto my knees

He let go after I stayed there for a few seconds

The humans started talking as I looked around for anything that can help

I felt a hand on top of my head gently playing with my shoulder length hair- i did have it long but it burned off a year ago

I instantly felt calmer- wait no he's a piglins all piglins do is trade..trade anyone or anything for gold...all for gold

That's beside the point he knows it will calm me down so I can calm down

I can't

My floppy ears stick out a bit and the bird human crouches in front of me

He says some human words before I heard a deep piglin voice

"He said that his name is philza he wants to know yours" the deep piglin voice said

"Let me go you jerk" I say in a way cleaner piglin tone

He looks at me

"I'm not a door?" He said

"I said jerk you English human"  I snarl at him

"What's your name little one?" The piglin asked

"Not saying- and I'm not little" I say looking up at the piglin

"You look..8?" He said as I got up making the piglin grab my arm and the bird stand up

"You don't even know me!" I say as the bird man hugs me wrapping a hand up to reach my head and other pulling me into the hug by the stomach

His wings wrap around me as I feel a nice warmth- not an uncomfortable warmth like what home gives off

I think on how to escape when the hand in my hair starts moving

I free one of my arms and grab and the one on my hand and grab it around so it's not in my hair

I try to escape

I manage to turn around as I crouch down to bite him arm

He moves the arm so no hands are on me

I grab handful of feather from each wing and pull back as hard as I can

The wings open as I dash out and run

No footsteps follow

Only a feeling of someone watching me in a way of saying "I'm going to kill you" I keep running as I stop to breath as I sit down by the pile of rocks

I rest my back against the pile as I drift to sleep holding my satchel with all my grip
