“Creek” My talons unlatched the lock on the solid cage door.”Clu..Cluck” I signified to my fellow sidekicks. Nobody stands a chance against us! We’re the deadliest animal in this universe, but if you don’t believe me then you can try to fight me and my chicken crew. Suddenly a terrifying shadow appeared behind me. “Got you” A hand grabbed me by my soft tanned ankles then I blacked out.”Whe..re am …I” I said in a wavering voice.I then gazed around the hot, gigantic mansion ”AHhhhhhhhh,am I in an oven?”I said. I banged on the metal rigid door. Then a tiny bit of crust sprinkled off me.”I'M A CHICKEN NUGGET” I screeched.

“Um….I think the chicken nugget is screaming” A boy said as he opened the oven door.”Don’t mess with me!” I shouted as I kicked him into the stone hard wall. Small chicken nuggies can fight! I then dashed out of there and stopped at the sign.”KFC,NO MCDONALDS FOR LIFE!” Then I kept on running making sure I never looked back. I miss my fellow sidekicks already. I soon reached a small shelter for hom..homeless people…what’s that? It looked dirty so I didn’t go in. My feet clattered down an alley way as the rain started dripping. Drip….”dead silence waited,”Drop….” I then took a big exhale.Wait. If I got caught, then they did too!

Even though I’m sassy, quite mean….and very weird I still have a heart just as big as a human’s heart…they just don’t recognise it yet I hope they do soon. I was saturated trying to see through my blurry eyes as more and more raindrops dribbled into my eyes.”YES OVER THERE!” I echoed.”Hi there, would you like a KFC family meal deal?”An annoying voice came from the speakers. I then pulled the push door open and picked up a shattered pair of sunglasses and put them on. I was looking cool.

I then sneaked into the chefs kitchen..”Hey stop there,” a chip belted.”Shush…CHICKEN NUGGET SIDEKICKS” I yelled. Maybe being a chicken nugget wasn’t so bad after all I thought, as I hugged my sidekicks.I hope I try to stop calling them sidekicks in the future.

Being a chicken nuggie isn’t that bad after all. Maybe you should consider being a chicken nugget too.
