Well guys… Yet more new stuff from me!

Now this is inspired by the "Amazon Adventures" by bluecatcinema, which is one of the pieces that really inspired me to become a writer!

So much, that I always thought of doing something similar eventually in the future, now it's finally a reality!

For the series itself, unlike Medieval Adventures, there are differences…

First, please no adding your OCs here like in Medieval Adventures! I am going to add people's OCs, but I am going to ask people privately if I can use OCs. However, if you are a guest, you can put your OC here, since I can't PM you guys, but please only one!

Second, unlike Medieval Adventures, rather than short stories, it will all be one shots, like in Amazon Adventures.

Third, it will be a mixture of stuff, movie characters only, or only OCs, or a mixture of both movie characters and OCs!

And lastly, I am rating this as "T" just in case, for some reasons, but most things should be at a K+ level.

Friend turned Predator

Life in the Amazon rainforest was very peaceful, and the area of the Blue and Scarlet macaw tribes were no different as everyone was busy doing their normal things that they do. Mothers and fathers taking care of their chicks, or getting food for their families, older chicks playing games with each other, teenagers chatting or playing games for older kids, and adults enjoying the company of their mates. As for a certain pair of young teenagers, they were enjoying a day with each other by cuddling against a side of a tree and sharing plenty of kisses.

"You're such a good kisser Junior." Bia said happily as she looked into the eyes of her boyfriend, Tomada Junior, who was a teenage Peregrine Falcon.

"It's because your kisses taste so sweet." Junior replied while smiling.

"You flatter." Bia blushed as she gave another kiss.

The two continued to enjoy their time together when a group of macaws came flying in. They were three Blue macaws, a male and two females and a female Scarlet macaw, all of them teenagers. The male Blue macaw spoke in relief to the two.

"There you two are, we were looking everywhere for you two lovebirds." Tiago said. "Come on, we all wanted to play a game of predator and prey, so stop making out and come on."

Bia and Junior looked at each other and sighed, all they wanted was for one day to enjoy each other, but something always seems to ruin it. They decided they better just join in and they can spend time alone together later.

"Fine Tiago, thanks so much for breaking up our moment." Junior said, annoyed.

The other three girls, Junior's sister Bobbie, Tiago and Bia's sister Carla, and Alex the Scarlet macaw's sister Lisa, who were with Tiago all giggled at Junior's reaction. The six teenagers flew out into a small open space in the forest, where Tiago told the other five how this would go.

"Okay, since Junior is a falcon, he might as well play the predator and the rest of us will play the prey." Tiago said, which received a slightly hurt expression from Bobbie and Bia.

"Hey, how come my brother has to be the predator? Way to go to pick on him Tiago." Bobbie reprimanded Tiago, defending her falcon brother.

Bia just simply hit Tiago in the back of the head with her wing, which Tiago did not enjoy very much.

"Ouch! What it's true." Tiago rubbed the hurt spot on his head.

"It's fine, I don't care, lets just play." Junior said before whispering to Bia. "I'll let you win and get Tiago first."

Bia smiled as Tiago continued on with the rules.

"Okay, so the predator has to wait ten seconds for the prey to run and the last one caught by the predator wins." Tiago stated before quickly saying the next sentence. "So, ready, set, go!" And Tiago, like a roadrunner just took off, leaving everyone rolling their eyes at him.

"Typical of my boyfriend." Lisa said as she also took off, followed by the rest of the girls.

Junior waited and counted the ten seconds and as soon as he finished he flew off as well, faster than his friends were and started searching for Tiago, his first, pretend victim. However as Junior flew, looking for his friend, he felt something, a new feeling that he never felt before. It was the rush of adrenaline going through his blood and he felt excited for some reason, flying even faster than before as he felt himself suddenly becoming more alert of his surroundings. Junior's hunting instincts were kicking in.

Soon enough Junior found Tiago flying up ahead and he picked up speed on the male Blue macaw as he put out his sharp claws to tackle Tiago down to the ground. Tiago never heard or seen this sudden attack as Junior grabbed Tiago and threw him down to the ground. Tiago was unhurt however as he laid down, Junior on top of him.

"Okay, you got me buddy, now go find the girls." Tiago said to the teenage falcon.

However Junior did not seem to hear Tiago as he panted, steadily losing his mind as he brought up his sharp claws. Junior felt that he didn't have control over his body as he suddenly grabbed Tiago's neck with his claws, tightly, cutting Tiago's air supply off.

"Junior, what are you doing!?" Tiago demanded to know, while struggling to say the words. "I'm your friend!"

Junior continued applying pressure on his friend's neck, squeezing it tighter and tighter, and well… Junior looked like he was enjoying it as he only pressed on more and more. Junior would have snapped Tiago's neck, if a familiar female voice did not shout at him.

"Junior, stop!" Bia called. "Let go of my brother! You are hurting him!"

Bia's voice snapped Junior back to reality and he looked down at his claws holding Tiago before turning his head to see Bia, tears on her face as she didn't recognize the kind, caring falcon that was her boyfriend. Junior let go of Tiago's neck and Tiago coughed loudly and grasped for air as Junior looked at himself and started shaking in fear of himself. Bia came froward to comfort her boyfriend, only for Junior to back away from her, not wanting to hurt her too.

"Please Bia, stay away from me, I don't want to hurt you too." Junior said in panic as he went backwards.

"What are you talking about? Come on, let me comfort you." Bia said softly, even thought some tears still came out.

"No, just leave me alone!" Junior shouted before taking off and flying away as fast as he could, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Bobbie, Carla, and Lisa heard all the shouting going on and they came just as Junior was leaving.

"What's going on?" Carla asked.

"I don't know…" Bia replied, confused.

"I'll tell you! Junior almost killed me!" Tiago shouted in anger.

"No… That's not my brother I know." Bobbie said in disbelief as Lisa helped Tiago up. "He would never hurt anyone."

"You guys get Tiago to a healer, I'll go find and talk to Junior, okay?" Bia said, the three girls agreeing, the group separating as Bia flew off alone to find her boyfriend.

Meanwhile Junior just arrived back in his family's hollow, still in his messed up state, losing his mind as he came into the hollow, where his mother, Sorrel, was tidying up the place when she saw her falcon son.

"Oh hello Junior, I thought you were spending the whole day with Bia." Sorrel greeted her son kindly, but then noticed Junior's scared expression. "Son, what's wrong?"

Junior didn't say anything as he refused to look at his mother and just ran straight to his room, out of view of anyone, where he started to cry loudly. Sorrel was completely speechless for a few minutes, after which, her mate, Tomada the Peregrine Falcon came in and greeted his mate.

"I'm back my love, missed me?" Tomada said happily, as he looked at his mate, only to see her looking in another direction. "What's wrong?"

"It's Junior, he's upset over something, I don't know what, he didn't say anything." Sorrel replied.

"I'll go talk to the boy." Tomada said as he went and came into his son's room and knocked against the side of his room. "Knock, knock, hey there my son, what's wrong?"

Junior looked up and saw his dad looking at him. Tears were still flooding out of Junior's eyes as he tried to stop crying.

"Dad, I'm a monster." Junior said.

"What makes you say that?" Tomada wondered.

"I almost killed Tiago and Bia saw it." Junior simply said before shouting out in anger. "I made my girlfriend watch me almost kill her brother! I can't do that to her! And what if I hurt mom or sis? I will never be able to live with myself!" Junior started bursting in tears again.

Tomada understood what his son was going through, it was his hunter instincts kicking in and taking over him. Tomada remembered when he was his son's age, feeling like a monster, but he was a predatory bird after all, and Tomada did actually kill for food, that is until he met Sorrel. However he changed and he knew his son could too. Tomada just hugged his son and patted his back.

"Junior, let me tell you something, since you are now old enough to know. I used to kill for food." Tomada said to the shock of Junior.

"Really?" Junior said softly.

"Yes, we are after all, predatory birds, it's natural for us to hunt and kill for food, but when I met your mother, I knew it was wrong and I changed my ways and I know you can too my son." Tomada smiled.

"Thanks dad." Junior hugged his dad.

"You're welcome my son." Tomada hugged back.

"Boys, I think someone wants to talk to Junior." Sorrel suddenly disrupted the father and son moment, steeping aside to reveal Bia.

Junior didn't say anything because he was still ashamed of what he did and just hung his head low. Tomada decided to leave the two lovebirds alone.

"I'll leave you two teenagers to talk." Tomada said, and with Sorrel gave the two some privacy.

Bia came in while Tomade came out and she went in front of Junior, who still had his head hung. He started to speak to his girlfriend.

"I'm sorry Bia, I can't believe I made you watch that, I can't imagine all the pain going through your head, me just choking the life out of your brother while you watched. I just wish that…

However Junior just stopped when Bia suddenly came froward and placed a loving kiss on Junior's beak, Junior shocked, but relaxed as he enjoyed the sweet taste of the kiss and kissed back. This went on few a few minutes as the two young lovebirds enjoyed each other's comfort until Bia broke the kiss.

"You talk too much." And Bia snuggled up against Junior's warm chest. "I will love you no matter what and I understand, it's not your fault."

"Thanks my love." Junior hugged Bia and now tears of happiness were now coming out as Junior enjoyed the moment with Bia.

As the next few days passed, Junior relaxed at home, calming himself down and mentally preparing and telling himself that he would never hurt one of his friends or family, or any friendly bird for that matter ever again. Everyone forgave him, even Tiago did eventually and Junior couldn't feel any luckier having the best of friends and also a lovely girlfriend as well. He was determined to not become a predatory monster, rather a happy, friendly falcon.

And there we go guys! Junior certainly had a very moving experience!

Tomada belongs to Tomadahawk and Sorrel belongs to Sorrelwing. While Tomada Junior and Bobbie are, of course, my creation for the couple, as well as Lisa.

And I'll see you in the next one!
