Prompt Word: Hive
Minervie and Chip 31
Minervie said sternly, “Stop.” Chip froze. Quietly, she said, “Back up towards me slowly.” Chip did as he was told, and Minervie picked him up very carefully, and started backing up herself.
At about 10 paces further back, she set him back down, and stayed crouching, and pointed at the side of the tree they’d backed away from, “Do you see that?”
“The tree?” Chip asked, with the sincerity of youth.
Minervie said, “Yes, but under the first low branch.”
Chip replied, “Branches and leaves?”
Minervie said, “I guess you can’t see it very well, it is a hive, a house for bees. You were very close to it, and they are dangerous if disturbed.”
Chip asked, “Why not destroy them?”
Minervie shook her head, “They are not monsters, they have no magic, as such it is not our creed to interfere with the natural world.”
Then Chip said, “I still don’t see anything.”
