The Leaf Book

*leaf thoughts* Why is it so cold? Why am I changing colors? I thought I was supposed to be green but now I turn orangish and I’m getting really weak… WHAT IS HAPPENING?!?!?!?!?!?!?………. “NOOOOOOOO DON’T STEP ON ME YOU HOOMAN” NOOOOOOOOOOOOO… YA! Now, how can I get back on my tree with all of my friends? “WIND HELP ME PLEASE” *Wind picks up leaf and throws Leaf on the sticky sap of the maple tree* YA THANKS WIND now I can be with my buddies  Hi buddies If only I could get closer *tries helplessly to get out of sticky sap* “almost….. *RIP* what was that???? Oh.. NOOOOOOO I RIPPED… well. At least it doesn’t hurt as extremely as I thought it would… *WAIT NOW I CAN GO TALK TO MY BUDDIES YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!* I resolved, *walks over to the other leaves* “HI GUYS” I said to the group of other leaves, what I got in return made me sad. They looked at me like I had three eyes. Even though I lost legit half of my tiny leafy body they still treated me like an outsider… I tried to get to the middle of the tree to become warm but they just pushed me out… So I had to go into my small hole in a small branch on this very big tree to get SOME warmth… So too there I had gone I got beneath my small blanket fit for a leaf made out of the things the wind brings up from the ground every day. I couldn’t sleep though, it was way too cold even with my blanket… So at sunrise, I started doing my daily chores. Ok, Leaf is finally back :3, this what happened when Leaf was gone, I started my day. Which included; picking up around the branch, sung the daily “Tree Song” where every leaf comes of it’s a branch and goes to the middle of the tree and sing a sad song remembering the Leafs before us. Next, me and my few friends, tom and jerry, went to our post at the maple syrup thing, using our small cart things started to scoop up the sticky maple syrup and I got upset because I accidentally fell into my slop but we all laughed it off later. Next, we went back to the maple thingy to get our lunch. We eat the maple stuff because our elders tell us to, don’t tell Tom or Jerry this; personally, I like it, Tom and Jerry, however, don’t. After lunch, I headed back home and found something peculiar that sparkled and sparked like those tall things that have those blinding lights, Leaf was very tempted too go and touch it, but Leaf had things to do and places to be. Leaf goes out of his part of the branch, looking for Jerry, he finds Jerry and another person Leaf hasn’t met probably one of Jerry’s other friends. Leaf walks up to Jerry and tries “hey-” but Jerry immediately cuts him off, he obviously wants to tell him something, so Leaf listens: “Leaf, you won’t believe this, one of the elders, the one who makes sure everyone is eating the Maple stuff, y ‘know?” Leaf answers “Yes Elder Tod, what about him?” “Well, last night he suddenly went missing and nobody knows where he is. Do you know anything about this Leaf?”. Leaf was still bewildered at even the thought of Elder Tod being gone, he had been the 3rd elder and also the one closest to Leaf. There were Five Great Elders in this leafy community, The first was Able, Able didn’t really talk much and nobody really knows why, what everyone does know about this mysterious elder is the fact that he is the strongest and oldest leaf to exist, he was here since The Tree was made. The 2nd elder, Maximus is pretty much as strict as it gets, he’s in charge of making sure we do ALL of our chores and if we don’t, we have to do twice as many chores as we did the day before with a supervisor so we do it instead of “goofing off”. He is also extraordinarily loud as he barks orders to us worker leaves. Next on the list of “Leaf Elders” is Tod, y’know the one that suddenly went missing? Yeah him, he’s the most colorful leaf ever and also the one that made all the worker leaves and made it possible for the Tree to make leaves to. Then James and Clark came, they’re two brothers, both are the youngest elders but are still like a bazillion years old. James and Clark are different, they are like you and me but they (supposedly) have powers that one day will help save the tree from a dark and terrible evil. James is nice to the worker leaves because they think that the whole proficy thing isn’t true and he likes treating everyone equally. Clark, on the other hand, isn’t so nice, he is just a snob that gloats about his “hidden power” and he does this to all of the worker leaves that are unfortunate enough to be in his line of sight. Now, back to the story we go. “Leaf tried saying something but it just won’t come out, next thing you know he is passed out on the ground!” says Jerry as leaf starts to regain consciousness. “Where am I?” Leaf asked to no one in particular. He sat up and realized he was at the doctor’s office. Jerry was to his left, and the person to his right was probably the doctor. *Beep Beep* Jerry noticed that Leaf was awake so he asked: “You alright bud?” but all Leaf did was nod his head. The doctor told him to lay back down and relax so Leaf obeyed them. After that, the doctor, Leaf, and Jerry had a short conversation of what went down before Leaf and Jerry thanked the doctor and left. Find out what happens next, in the next chapter!
