Eerie stared at her nest, jaw dropped. Her mate, Astrophobia, was just as shocked. Their son Ultear's favorite toy was missing, and both he and his brother had been asleep the entire day. Eerie wandered the area, but found no trace of the cherished item. Ultear woke up and started to chirp upsettedly while his father and brother tried to comfort him. Eerie then decided to set out to solve the mystery of this missing toy with serious determination. She wandered, sniffing for a trace of the scent, her thick feathers and fur keeping her warm on the dreary day.
After a few hours, the black and gold Aether found a clue in the grass near her nest. A small tuft of golden fur. Aether fur. She sniffed it, but couldn't find a scent that she recognized, so it couldn't have been from a nearby family. Who was it, who could have done such a horrible thing as stolen her son's toy? She didn't know, didn't understand...
Eerie found the toy the next morning, but to this day doesn't know who, or what, stole it in the first place.
(Hope this is okay. I've never written mystery....)
