Mistakes Were Made


Hello everyone! I bring you another long awaited chapter to satisfy your needs. I understand a few people were confused from last chapter. I was trying to

throw in surprises without rushing the plot, and I accidentally did so. So I apologize. I'm trying very hard to make this plot work correctly. I also don't want you

guys to be *confusled* under any circumstances. So I'm taking my time from now on to think of ideas! Thank you and I hope you enjoy!


My heart was left pounding in my chest as I gazed at her perfect features. Her body, glowing in the moonlight was enough to make me shudder with mere excitement.

Every endorphin in my body had kicked into overdrive. I was out of control. Her soft plumage rested against mine and her heartwarming smile plastered her face. I was

totally oblivious to the fact that we had only met a day ago, and yet here I am, holding her in my wings. Her wings coiled slowly around my neck as she hoisted herself

up. Her face was mere inches away from mine. I could feel every warm breath that exhaled from her beak. This sensation had enticed me nonetheless and drove me

crazy. Without thinking, I plunged my beak upon hers, closing my eyelids shut in ecstasy. She happily complied and dug her beak into mine. This felt so wrong, yet so

right. Every heart pounding moment left me a little more numb as I endured the kiss. I felt my legs getting weak from my bodies vigorous shaking. My legs couldn't take

anymore, and they both buckled inward. I fell towards the ground, Gabriella safely coiled in my wings as to not hurt her in the fall. She broke the kiss to let out a small

gasp of shock. We both hit the floor at an increasingly fast pace. My body rested upon hers as we both gasped for much needed air. Her wings found my shoulders and

she rested them there. I watched as she giggled, and I couldn't help but join in with her. I've never had this much fun and excitement in my life, and I enjoyed it

thoroughly. Jewel never made my life... Jewel!

"Bleh!" I sit up alarmingly. I quickly pick myself off of Gabriella. "Oh cheese and sprinkles, what have I done!" I cover my eyes with my wings and begin pacing. I start to

hyperventilate.

"Blu, what is wrong?" Gabriella inquires. She looked to be utterly confused with a hint of shock, and I don't blame her. I was dumbfounded just as much as she was.

"Everything!" I shout directly at her, causing her to scrunch up with fright. "How did I let this happen?!" I turn my back away from her and begin walking in circles.

"Blu, I'm confused, are you alright?" Gabriella asked.

"Does it look like I am?" I spin around gesturing my wings at her in a hateful matter.

"Blu, calm down!" She persuaded, as she slowly stood up.

"How can I?" Every lust filled euphoric endorphin in my body had completely faded into nothing. "I'm a terrible person!" I shout hoarsely.

"Why are you so mad?" she pondered. "We were just having fun!" She gestured her wings in an apologetic manner.

"I betrayed my wife, so horribly." I infer in dismay.

"Wife!?" Gabriella shouted. "You never told me you weren't available?" Gabriella placed her wings on her temples and let out a long exhale.

"I'm so sorry." I apologize.

"Just leave, please." Gabriella muttered, almost in tears. "Just when I thought I'd met the bird of my dreams." The dams had spilled from her eyes. "Just to have it all

sh-shattered." She cried into her soft feathered wings.

"Look I-" I tried to form the words but was tongue-tied. I stuttered but was interrupted by Gabriella's outbursts.

"Leave me alone." she commanded. With my head hung low, I took in the situation. I spun on my talons and walked off the boulder. Her sob filled cries echoed through

the night as I quietly waked away. I took a sullen walk through the jungle, not caring to where it lead me. I just needed some time alone, to think. I needed to know

what made me do what I did. At this point, I had nobody. Bitter loneliness shattered through me. I had nobody to rely on. I was alone. A new emotion had started to

build up inside of me. I began to start fuming with anger. Every fiber in my heart was shattered and torn to pieces. I let out a fuming growl deep within my throat. My

wing instinctively flashed out at a nearby tree. I wailed on that tree like no tomorrow. Punch after punch, I threw, not bothering to stop. I let out a loud emotion filled

scream. Eventually my blood soaked wings grew tired from the inevitable pain I was putting them through. I let out large gasps for air. I slowly let my legs go limp and I

fell to the soil beneath me. I sit down near the victimized tree and start to cry. Never, in all my life, had I felt so torn. I was a no good cheater, a horrible excuse of a

father. Father. That word rang through my head like a bell. I imagined the faces of my children when I have to tell them what I did. There soaked cheeks and there soft

cries of betrayal rung through my head. I am a monster, I thought. I am nothing more than a monster. A small cold substance touches my shoulder, I look up. Tiny

droplets of rain had fell upon the Jungle, soaking my feathers completely. I didn't care though. I don't have the power or will to carry on, I thought. It's as if mother

nature was crying with me, telling me how useless I am. I am nothing more than a bird. A bird whom deserves nothing. A loner of sorts, depending off of others is what

I feed on. I can never truly live alone, because I'm weak. Im fragile and need tending to. That is why I am biologically domestic. Everything I've ever done, I've done on

the reliance of others. Never once have I done anything solo. Ive done nothing in this life I could say I'm proud of, independently. I hang my head low. A sound ringing

off in the distance alerts my senses, but I decide to ignore it. The sound enters my eardrums again and I stare off into the distance. The torrential downpour had made

it extremely hard to make out anything. However, off in the distance I could faintly make out the figure of a red bird, and instantly I knew who it is.

"Blu!" She shouts in the dark of night. Her shouts were hoarse and raspy. I stood up from where I sat and began making my trek towards her. "Blu, please where are

you!" Her shouts echo across the jungle.

"You know if you shout to loud you'll cause trouble." I mutter from behind her. I watch as she spins around on one talon and instantly throws her wings around me.

"Oh my god. I thought I lost you!" She shouts as she buries her beak into my neck. "Please don't leave me, you have no idea how alone I feel." she mutters between

sobs. I subject to her pleads and begin rubbing her back in a calming manner. "I promise I won't advance any further than what I did, if anything it's my fault." She

dries her tears on my neck, it didn't matter though considering we were both covered with rain.

"It is not your fault." I assure her calmly. "It's mine, I shouldn't have led you on like that." I embrace her fully, not letting go.

"Can we still be friends?" she questions, a hint of hope lingers in her voice.

"Yes we can." I whisper into her ear.

"I am just so frightened being alone, and I can't stand not having someone to talk to!" She cried.

"Your alright." I comforted her. I realized we were both in the same boat, whether we were in different situations or not, we both felt lonely.

Gabriella and I made the long trek back to her hallow. Gabriella instantly started to shake uncontrollably, as did I. We both decided to lay down on the floor together to

talk and dry off our feathers.

"So, if you don't mind me asking, what happened before we met?" Gabriella started to question me. It took me a long time to form a reply.

I begin to slowly tell her my troubled story. When I finished she looked very puzzled, almost curious.

"It troubles me deeply." She paused, trying to from a decent reply, "Why would you leave her?" She asked.

"I was hurt emotionally, and I wouldn't allow Jewel to see my like that." I explained through gritted teeth. Anger started to boil through my veins for how selfish I was

to bitterly leave her there.

"All couples fight, may I enlighten you!" She pointed a talon at me. "It's only natural for couples to fight, it brings them closer together."

"Then how come I felt encouraged to leave?" I protested.

"Like you explained, you were in the heat of the moment." She obstructed my point with great accuracy. She trained her eyes back towards the ceiling, well folding her

wings lightly upon her supple chest. She let out a loud sigh. She made a good point nonetheless, I couldn't argue with that.

"I know a lot about this stuff." she inferred regretfully. She sank lower into the floor, like she wanted to disappear. However, she continued on anyways. "I use to have

a boyfriend who left me over a conflict." I watched, intrigued by her sudden emotions. Tears began to soak her eyes as faint memories consumed her. "He reminded me

of... you." She quickly dried her tears with her luscious red wings.

"I'm so sorry." Her sudden mood change startled me. It left me with questions that needed answers. I didn't want to provoke her however. "I hope this doesn't open

lashed scars, but, what what his name?" She stared at the ceiling, looking like she was hypnotized.

"Chase, his name was, Chase." She replied quickly. I nodded. I understood exactly where she was coming from. It hit me, we were both in the same boat. Two broken

souls, seeking repair. No other words needed to be exchanged that night, for she had confessed everything she could to me. I admired her honesty however.

"Well I'm going to sleep." I yawned, well stretching out my big blue wings.

"Hey!" Gabriella shouted at me. She acquired my attention as I met her gaze. "Don't ignore her forever." She scolded me. I nodded approvingly.

As I fell asleep that night, mere thoughts emerged into my mind. After hours of tossing and turning I had made the conclusion.

I was going back home tomorrow.

The light had emerged its way into the hallow I occupied. The light intensity made my eyes strain, thus causing them to open. I blink a few time, trying the best I could

to regain eye sight. I yawn and stretch every limb in my body. I stepped out of the nest I had slept in earlier. I turned my head, examining my surroundings. Nothing

changed in Gabriella's Hallow. Her decorations were almost scattered across her allow. Everything looked out of place, and I began to twitch uncontrollably. I decided

I'd repay Gabriella's warm hospitality by cleaning her hallow of sorts. It was mid afternoon when I had finished the project I had worked on. Seeing that she hadn't

returned yet from her hallow, I had made the assumption that she'd been collecting food. I took a step back and examined my handy work. I covered the place with

flowers and different assortments of plants. I rearranged her nest and even weaved white tulips through the small twigs. All in all, everything looked stunning. I brush

my wings together and smiled. My examination was distracted by the faint sounds of movement coming from behind me. I turn my head around to see that Gabriella

had returned from her adventure, just in time to. Gabriella looked around the hallow in astonishment.

"Did you do this for me?" She giggled ecstatically.

"No the wind did it." I sarcastically replied. She scurried over to me and wrapped her wings around my neck. Her grasp was tight on me, well not allowing me to

breathe.

"Thank you so much, I appreciate it!" She let go and smiled warmly. We were glad we had each other's company. The mere seconds of silence we both endured was

enough to make me happy. I decided to break it however, seeing that I had something on my mind.

"Gabriella?" I ask nervously.

"Hmmm?" She mumbles sweetly at me.

"I think I've made the decision!" I take in a large breath, well standing up tall. "I'm going back home, where I belong." I let it all out. Gabriella looked startled with a

hint of confusion.

"I-I'm happy for you!" She stuttered, but somewhere in those eyes I could see she was bothered by this.

"You okay?" I ask grinning. She took a moment before replying.

"I'll be fine." She smiled. "It's not my business to interfere with you relationship. I respect that and I will always cherish the moments we spent." Her face showed

happiness, but her heart told her something else, and I could tell. "You've been a-a great friend, Blu!" Her eyes watered with emotion, throwing herself on me like a

brick. She coiled her wings around my neck and buried her face in my nuzzle. I was in-between shocked and torn. I reluctantly placed my wings around her, pulling her

in close.

"You have brought me back on my feet. You helped me when times were rough, and I couldn't thank you any less!" I whispers into her ears. Her frame seemed fragile

as she wept on my chest. She was torn beyond measure and I couldn't help but feel sorry for her. "Hey!" I got her attention, and she let go of me, staring into my

chocolate brown eyes. "I'll be back, don't worry!" Her face instantly lit up like a firework. She quickly dried her tears.

"I'm happy for you, even if I don't show it the best. I will be awaiting your arrival next time!" She nodded her head before turning back into her hallow. She turned her

head, getting one last glimpse of me. "Someones waiting for you." She smiled, waving at me. I returned the smile and took off into the skies. It wasn't until I was a

clear distance away that I turned my head around.

"Thank you, Gabby!" I whisper, a smile forming on my beak as I utter her name.


Alright, very short chapter, I agree with you. I ran out of material I could use for the time being. Please Leave a review telling me how I did, as I am curious
