Mailee (lvl3)

When Mailee and Bandy were young their parents used to send them off to stay with their uncle a lot. Some times they would just send Bandy and sometimes they would just send Mailee. On this particular week they decided to just send Mailee. Mailee was young but much older than she had been the last time she went to see her Dad's brother. She was laying in bed one night and thought she heard an animal. She bolted upright in her bed, she heard it again. And again. She looked out the window at the barn that she was not allowed to go into. There was a light coming thru the top of the barn. Her uncle must be in there she thought. Mailee decided that since she was older that she should be allowed to see whats in the Barn. It couldn't be that bad could it, because her uncle was a good man. Mailee crept up to the barn and heard more animals more distinctly. She was thinking why would her uncle not let her go in a barn full of animals knowing that she loved animals. Were they dangerous? Was he trying to protect her? There was only one way to find out. She pried open the side door on the barn and saw her uncle on the other side facing away from her. It didn't look like he heard the door open. She took a step inside and heard the animals and looked up. There were many different types of animals hanging in the air in cages and the the smell hit her. Her uncle was cutting up a deer. When the animals saw her they started bleeting louder and that made her uncle look up. As he turned around Mailee could see the wall behind him There were animal insides nailed to the wall and their heads were in a bucket on the floor. Mailee screamed as her uncle hollared at her to get out of there. She composed her self and started yelling at her uncle and looking around for a ladder. Her uncle started to chase after her. She found the ladder and climbed up it. Her uncle tried to follow but once she got up it she kicked it over. She ran to a pulley and flipped it which dropped all of the cages. Most of them busted open and the animals started heading for an open door. Mailee noticed that the ladder was starting to go back up and she kicked it over again. She quickly snuck over to the other side of the loft and jumped down on some bales of hay while her uncle not noticing she jumped down had put the ladder back up and started climbing. When he got up there Mailee knocked the ladder down again so that he was stuck up top. She ran to the cages and opened them all and ran out the barn and ran back to town.
