I'm back, and I decided to write this. Although the title is called this, I will not get rich in this story. This is just my life story from when my troubles started to when I meet Skipper, Rico, Kowalski, and Private.
Chapter 1
I waddled over to the group of penguins who were watching over me while my parents went fishing. I am one month old and I live in Antarctica. I stumble over my little webbed feet and one of the older penguins pick me up.
"Gooechy, Gooechy goo!" the penguin, known as Jade, cooes. She is tall, slender, and has deep emerald eyes. I giggle childlessly and wipe her flippers away from me playfully. "Let's go back to our group, Rose." I nodded. She carries me back to the group and I watch as the others become bigger with wide eyes. Once the older penguin sets me down, I waddle over to the other newborn penguins who were building a snow castle. As I joined, I just could feel that the older penguins were staring at me. Or to be specific, my birthmark. Unlike the other hatchlings, I was born with a noticeable red heart birthmark over my right eye. My feathers matched my birthmark carefully. The others say that this is a bad omen or something. I know that they're just scared I might have supernatural abilities or something of the sort.
They have tried ripping my feathers around my eye to see if new feathers could grow and hide my birthmark, but it didn't. The other chicks grew to ignore my birthmark, yet the elders just couldn't accept it. The only ones who did were my parents and Jade. The others still believe that I'm just bad luck. Whenever something bad happened (food shortages, leopard attacks, etc) you know who'd they blame? Me. Today was no different.
I was just playing with the snow, helping the others to build a snow castle, when suddenly, it happened. The ground from underneath started to shake from underneath me. The shaking was too intense for me and I fell onto my bum. My first thought was that it was yet another sea leapard attack, but I was dead wrong. I heard a large crack in the ice, miles away from me, and a huge machine soared through the sky. It landed with such a huge thud, I thought the the ice would break again! I looked up and my eyes widened. The machine was a huge black and brown drill. I couldn't tell what was in the driver's seat. I only heard sickening laughter, yet it sounded childish. Was a kid driving it? I didn't think too much about it, since the whole colony started to freak out and run from the contraption.
All the older penguins grabbed their children and ran. I looked around for my mom and dad. "Mama?! Dada?!" I couldn't see them. I waddled around frantically, my flippers outstretched and my eyes looking around crazily. "Mom! Dad!" I felt something hard hit the back of my head. I landed face first into the hard snow. I lifted my head up and saw one of the penguins that hated me the most. She had red eyes and was a bit shorter than Jade. She wasn't skinny, but she still wasn't fat. Her name was Arrissa.
"You!" the female penguin said. She stood up and towered over me. Since she was so much older than me, not to mention taller, I cowered in fright. "This is all your fault!" She raised her right flipper and slapped my face, hard. I flew a feet away from her and fell on my back. I raised a flipper to touch the throbbing red mark from where she slapped me. I could just feel myself about to cry, even though penguins can't cry, I'm pretty sure I was close enough to break that biological fact. Arrissa glared at me then continued running away. Why do the adults think I'm the one that causes all of this? I thought to myself. I'm just a chick! I pushed away that thought and continued looking for my mom and dad. Everyone in the colony kept running and knocking me over. Eventually, one of them kicked me in the back of my small head and made me fall flat on the ice unconscious. Vulnerable to the unknown threat.
I don't know how long I was out, but it must've been a very long time. I woke up and rubbed my temple. When I woke up, the sun was gone. I looked around, but the only thing I could see was the barren wasteland called Antartica that continued on miles on end. The snow seemed to be stained with blood. Everyone was gone. I sighed and saw my breath. I then realized how cold I was without my father's and mother's warmth. I waddled around looking for a place, a cave, a hole, anything, to escape the night air. I finally found a lone cave off and waddled inside. I squeezed inside a small corner and rubbed my flippers. I was desperately trying to warm myself. My eyes were feeling heavy, but I knew I couldn't go asleep. I forgot why at that moment, but I remember faintly that my dad told me to never sleep in case I'm freezing and he's not around to warm me. I think if I did, I probably would never wake up again. Then again, I think that's just my paranoia talking. Sleepiness overcame me, and I feel into a deep slumber. I hope I'll wake up. I thought to myself as I drifted off...
