*They watched, heads so close together one would have thought them joined by glue! Giggling, nae very quiet at all! If Millie HAD come close, surely she would have heard them, even above the whispering leaves that the moderate spring breezes were tossing together.
As Millie darted back and forth, peering and peeking and prodding everywhere, Celia and Mollie kept stealing glances around the edge of the shed wall to watch her futile searching, falling back and holding their sides, trying not to laugh too loudly! It was as if this shed were simply not on the face of the earth! Millie would not even LOOK in its direction!
All would have gone well . . they could have remained there until the judgement day dawned, iffen Celia had not stepped on the tiny garter snake that was innocently trying to sneak away from them . . it wasn’t that she was necessarily afraid of the wee creature, she simply didn’t expect it to be there, and as the poor thing curled backwards when Celia steeped on the end of it’s tail, and touched her ankle, she let out a bloodcurling yell!
Mollie about died laughing then, all thoughts of hiding abandoned . . The sight of Celia leaping about like she’d been struck by a stray arrow on fire was simply too much!

*Mollie cringed...the sharp scream so near to her ear sent shivers through to her spine. She did not see what or why Celia started to jump about but the sight was simply too silly not to laugh at. Her face was red....her hands flailing about as if to attack something.....and her feet were doing a jig without the aid of any music. Mollie laughed...and then laughed more as she watched.
Millie however, stopped dead in her tracks.....the scream shook her rigid.....she stared towards the chicken shed shaking her head.*
"Ooooooooh no no no....they aint gawn in there...no no no......ah new them darn chickens was devils disguised!!"
*She folded her arms across her ample bosum and continued to shake her head......standing still as it to show a solid stance....there was no way upon this earth she would go near that shed.
She called out to the girls......her voice adamant and victorious.*
"Well ah founds yers both...cause ah knows yers both be together.........best yers comes out afore them chickens goes a flying ...else yers be in trouble wiv tha cook agin."
*She pursed her lips and furrowed her brow whilst she waited.....still standing as a guard...tall and still in her vistory.*
(( chuckles at the snake.....never seen one here *L*))

((ahhh dear . . I wondered about that . . so perhaps merely a vine that curled up and frightened her? *g*))
Ohhhh no you didn't . . *Celia squeeked in a high falsetto* You don't know who's making all that noise . . it might not BE US . . . *she then groaned as she realized what she just said, and turned on Millie with a whipered, highly indignant hisssss*
Don't just sit there laughing . . . RESCUE me! Help me get free of this vile creature . . then iffen we run off straight back from the shed, she'll not pursue us . . she won't budge from her place, expectin' US to come to HER . . *kicking away at whatever it was that had attacked her foot, an almost evil grin forming on her face now*
Perhaps we can loosen just . . ONE o' dem chickens? Set it to sqawkin' and such . . it will keep her busy whilst we be off . .
Without waiting for Mollie's blessings, Celia pounded the back of the shed just ever so slightly, to set the faint-hearted-est of the poulty within to fright . . but of course, the poor dears ALL stuck together in their flight, and pandemonium broke loose . ..
Gulping hard now, blanched white, Celia whispered "We can always jes blame her!" as they bolted off . . "Saints preserve us . . I promise to be a good girl until my death, Lord, iffen none of those birds hurt themselves . . . " She muttered a petition towards heaven, stumbling as she ran . .

*Mollie just laughed.....her belly shook and she had tears in her eyes....she laughed and laughed more. She laughed so much she snorted when she tried to take a breath. She could not speak.....she dared not utter a word lest she would fall down without air...she simply could not stop laughing at this most ridiculous sight before her.
Celia banging on the hen shed....a vine of Ivy catching around her ankles, the lass thinking it be a critter......was she quite mad......aye..she had to be. Mollie tried so hard to calm herself, but before she could....Celia was off and running....like a Devil child possesed.
Millie approached with caution....she peered around the shed to find her twin in a state of hysterics and just in time to see the skirts of Celia dissapearing through the bushes. She just stood there......quite astounded and shook her head.*
"She be a strange one tha' gel celia...dus yers fink she be all there Molls?"
*The question had to be asked as as Millie watched the moving bushes that gave away Celia's route...she placed her fingers to her temple and frowned.*
*She be like one slice short o' a sandwich that one."
*Mollie just roared again......she sounded like an ass....she snorted and eee awwed and Millie thought her soon to soil her undergarments iffn she nae did stop soon. *
"Hush now ye silly beggar else cook will be out 'ere an' then we will afta git back ta work."
*Millie slapped her Sisters arm....not hard.....but hoping to hush her enough to carry on with the game. She took a deep breath in and called out to Celia...who by now could have been anywhere.*
"Celia........yers be hidin' now........ah shell count ta one undered...and then....best yer be hid good an' proper!!"

Alright! *She yelled back to Millie without thinking, blushing furiously as she realized now she'd need to re-hide yet again!
Crouching very low, almost crab-like, she scooted close to a slight incline and set to rollin' down it to a hedge that ran along the bottom, squeezing herself through, she got up on her feet on the other side and sprinted towards the stables. Muttering as she ran "Count ta a hunderd, will she? Ha . . "
Rounding a corner at a dead run, she hit smack dab into a rough, wooden rack of flat, leathery strips. knocking several off upon impact! She picked one up and looked in wonder, it seemed some very ugly creature had shed its skin for such as these! She paled then, remembering tales of gnomes and dwarves and evil earth sprites. Had someone captured these whimsical creatures and *gulping hard at the very thought* dried their wee hides for some unknown purpose?
Quickly replacing them, reminding herself to tell the twins later when the evening chores were done and they oft sat regaling each other with what they'd seen and heard that day, though she was certain they'd never believe her! She dashed off to find a less aromatic hiding spot, couging a bit at the intense smell of the hideous things, hoping by some miracle the not spotted her already!

*Celia had called out..... immediately then the twins knew which way she was headed.... they looked at each other and rolled their eyes as they giggled.*
"Ah swears she dun 'ave a brain sum times Molls"
*Mollie hit her Sister's arm..... berating her.....and yet she herself could not stop laughing at Celia's mistakes......the girl was such fun....and they both stood still a while longer to give her a fair start.*
"Aye... but she be fun....Mills....'an when we dus find 'er this time..... best we gits back ta the kitchens...else cook 'all be groanin' all eve agin."
*Millie nodded and started forward.......holding hands they leaned down beneath the shrubery and moved on towards the stables. They thought she might make for them as there were plenty of stalls to hide......unless she was afraid of the horses. Mollie stopped at the rack of dried fish....she placed her finger to her lips and nodded as she whispered*
"She's bin 'ere...see......she knocked sum off.....quick.... this way!"
*They made towards the Stable building....on tip toes.....quiet as mice but near to bursting with giggles as they approached the back door.*
((Assuming the strange skins are fish *LOL*))
