Nine-year-old Milly had always been fascinated by the natural world. She spent most of her free time exploring the forest near her home, collecting insects, and learning about the different species that inhabited the area. On one of her solo adventures, Milly stumbled upon a strange, shadowy creature that would change everything.
At first, Milly was hesitant to approach the creature, but her curiosity got the better of her. As she drew closer, she realized that it was some kind of reptile, but unlike any she had ever seen before. Concerned about the creature’s well-being, Milly carefully captured it in a jar and took it home, hoping to research its species and learn how to care for it.
However, Milly’s efforts to identify the creature were unsuccessful, and she soon found herself in a predicament. Fearing her parents’ reaction, Milly decided to keep the creature a secret, at least for the time being. But as the days passed, the creature began to fall ill, and Milly knew she had to seek help.
That’s when Milly’s father stepped in, insisting that they take the creature to a veterinarian. Milly was hesitant, fearing that the vet would take the creature away from her. But she had no idea what was about to unfold.
As soon as the vet laid eyes on the creature, he was shocked, leaping back and yelling for Milly and her father to do the same. The vet quickly made a phone call, leaving the room and leaving Milly and her father stunned and confused.
What had Milly rescued from the forest? Why was the vet so shocked? And was this creature harmless or a threat to Milly’s safety? The answers to these questions would change everything, and Milly’s life would never be the same again.
