The end?

Billy buried Kes. Then, he went to the place where he first saw his dear bird. As soon as he out his eyes in the old building his memories and tears begun to run into his mind and face. “How could Jud be so cold?” Billy asked to the warm wind.

The poor child was so sad that he did not notice that a blurry shadow was looking at him from the old building. Suddenly, the shadow became a bird, actually it was a kestrel. Billy thought that his mind was playing with him, but when he focused his gaze he realized that it was another kestrel bigger than his young dead one!!!

From that moment on his mind and soul begun a discussion; what should he do about the kestrel? “Should I capture it or leave it there?” That was the constant question in Billy’s head. Thus, the memory of what Jud did to his dear Kes hit him like a strong kick in the stomach… He did not want to risk another bird’s life by taking it anywhere nearer to his evil brother. Therefore, Billy decided to leave the Kestrel in the old building, but with the unsaid promise of visit it every time he could.

After he felt a bit better, Billy thought it was time to return to his house and get some sleep. Tomorrow would be another day, life must go on, but he would never forget about the only being that brought some light into his dark life, a kestrel named Kes.
