Author's Note:

Hey, guys. I'm working on a new story that is co authored by Nightfly123. It's about a young dark black Raven named Twyla who has lost her parents and in the custody of someone else.

Enjoy :3

Disclaimer: I don't own Rio and I also don't own Nightfly123's OCs. They belong to him. I only own my OC Twyla.

It is a dark day in Rio De Janeiro, a family of four Ravens are busy preparing themselves to escape, knowing that they are being targeted by an unknown force of evil that will kill anyone or anything, who dares stand in their way, a fact that has scared the entire family as they desperately tried to get everything ready for their escape, though, they had a bad feeling that time is quickly running out for them.

This was unfortunately confirmed by an friend of theirs, a male Red-and-Green Macaw called Thiago, who arrived at the family's hollow with the bad news as he knew that they are going to need all the help that they can get, if they are going have any chance of escaping, though, it was very clear that the unknown force of evil is quickly heading in their direction, something that only scared them even more.

The family of four Ravens are called Costa, who is a friend of Thiago, Barbosa, the wife of Costa and the mother of their two daughters, who are called Beatriz and Twyla, the latter two are only a few days old, which made them easy targets for the unknown forces of evil, who's leader is known to be looking for a mate in order to have a child of his own, which has led to the current situation for the entire Raven family.

"Hey Santos, I got some bad news for you, my old friend. They're heading this way, faster than I expected it". Thiago said as he landed gently inside his friend's hollow.

"Thanks for telling us, Thiago, we needed to hear that. So how long will it be, until they finally get here?" Costa said as he looked at his friend, with a worried expression.

"Three or four hours, at most, they're coming fast. I can take Beatriz with me, while you take Twyla." Thiago said as he turned his attention to Costa's two daughters.

"I'm not doing that, Thiago, I just can't, my friend. I can't just take Twyla with me, Beatriz is coming too." Costa said as Thiago turned his head back to his friend in shock.

"Costa, please, we don't have time to argue, right now. I can help you keep your two daughters safe, trust me." Thiago said as he wandered over to his friend's two children.

"Thiago's right, dear, we have got the time to argue. He can help us keep our daughters, his brother included." Barbosa said as she held her husband's wings with her own.

"That's what scares me, Thiago's brother is a target. He has many enemies, who are trying find and kill him." Costa said as he looked at his wife, with a worried expression.

"I know that you're scared, but, we have no choice. We need to do what we can, to keep our daughters safe." Barbosa said as she kissed her husband's cheek and smiling.

Costa knew that his wife has a point, which ultimately led to his decision to allow Thiago to take Beatriz to safety, knowing that his friend will do everything that he can to raise his daughter with love and protect her from harm, though, it still didn't make the decision to let Thiago take Beatriz any easier as he didn't want to be separated from her, even when there are evil forces heading their way at a rapid pace.

The two took the time to smile at their oldest daughter and tell her to be safe, while also kissing her forehead before they let Thiago fly away with Beatriz in his talons, though, both parents had tears in their eyes as they watched their oldest daughter be taken away to safety, before they began to take their youngest daughter, Twyla, with them as they hoped to get away from their pursuers with time to spare.

They were flying in the direction of the Amazon rainforest, when they were quickly attacked when a male White-necked Hawk had appeared out of nowhere, in front of them, which caused Costa and Barbosa to fly in the other direction, where they managed to out-fly their pursuers, which brought them valuable time as they quickly flew their way in the direction of the Amazon rainforest, before a second male white-necked Hawk appeared in front of them.

Unfortunately, they had almost reached the exit of the Rio forest, when they were attacked by male white-necked Hawk, who fought them with such force, that it caused the young Twyla to fall out of her mother's talons as she began falling towards the forest floor, out of sight of both her parents and the male white-necked Hawk, where she was quickly saved by an unknown bird, who is soon revealed to be a male Red-and-Green Macaw, who looked at the young Twyla with an concerned expression on his face.

"Don't worry, little one, you're safe now. I just hope that, we haven't been spotted by anyone else." The Red-and-Green Macaw said as he looked around for danger.

After checking around for danger and finding none of it, the male Red-and Green Macaw took this opportunity to fly away with Twyla in his talons, knowing that danger has passed as they hoped to find some peace, at least, for the time being, though, Twyla had no idea about what happened to both of her parents, a question that will forever haunt her from the moment that she can talk and walk.

(So, something mysteriously happened to Twyla's parents and now a Red and Green Macaw wants to take care of her. Though, why did Twyla have to leave her sister? Stay tuned for chapter two and keep up the great work, Nightfly123.)
