//------------------------------// // Chapters 9 // Story: Lyra's Diary // by KMCA //------------------------------// Dear Diary I’ve spent the last 2 days observing Matthew to the best of my ability. My attempts to enter have all been foiled by the rabid rabbit with the carrot based weaponry. I have been unable to ascertain if this behaviour also applies Matthew, although judging by the fact he has yet to take a step outside I observed a curious incident later that day that confirmed our mutual fear of that psychotic little rodent. It was late afternoon and thanks to my ears at a distance spell I overheard that little yellow and pink mental case asking Matt to get firewood. Well, of course my Matt would do anything asked of him. He’s so thoughtful. I wonder if all humans are like them? So, my observation. I saw the back door open very slowly, and Matt poked his head out, looking around. It was so cute. Once he was satisfied the coast was rabbit free, he ran, no, sprinted towards the wood pile. It was amazing. Any other time I saw him move around he had a limp. He must really respect, or fear, that rabbit. Just before getting there, he lept and rolled to a crouched position with his back to the wood. He quickly grabbed a few sticks and sprinted back to the still open door. That little white discord took that moment to block his path. Matt show exceptional athleticism by leaping over the bunny of doom and rolling back inside. As he was passing by the door he kicked and slammed it shut on the nose of that little monster. The rabbit made a crude gesture with his paw that should not have been possible.
