It's about time I got back to this. Like I said before, I'm busy with school, but I'm not out of writing. I'm not done with this story yet, so bear with me on this one. But enough, chit-chat. I present to you all the next Chapter.
Blu's P.O.V.
I was in my cage, waiting to be taken away from everyone I care about. Taken away from Linda, Nico, Pedro, Rafael,…and Jewel. I was just sitting in my cage with so many thoughts running through my head. Where am I going to go? What's going to happen? Is it the end for me?
After who knows how long, the float stopped somewhere and I heard voices.
"I can't believe we lost all of those birds! But the blue macaw should be worth more than all of those birds combined. Pack it up, boys."
"You got it, boss."
A hand came from the gap in the float and lifted my cage up and took me outside. It was almost dawn and I saw that we were in an old airfield and I was being taken to a cargo plane. This experience seems familiar somehow. They put me inside along with a bunch of empty cages. I just sighed as they closed the hatch.
"Goodbye, Jewel."
Jewel's P.O.V.
We flew throughout the night, following the float that held Blu. It took some time to find it, but we found a trail of rags that led us to it. The float stopped at an airfield and I saw that they were already loading Blu onto a plane.
"Hurry, guys! Blu's right over there!"
I flew as fast as I could to reach the plane before it would fly away.
Blu's P.O.V.
Before the hatch was completely closed, I heard a bunch of birds chirping and tweeting.
"That's not possible. Birds can't be awake at this time." I said to myself.
I caught a glimpse of a swarm of birds heading this way.
"Jewel!"
Jewel's P.O.V.
The hatch of the plane closed by the time we got there. The humans saw us coming.
"Boys! We just hit the jackpot! Get the nets!" said one of them.
'Uh oh.' I thought.
"Everyone! Be careful!" I shouted.
All of the birds began to fight back against the humans. Some pecked and scratched at one of them and others who were caught in a net were fighting hard to fly away, enough that the human holding the net was being dragged across the ground. While everyone was fighting and the humans were distracted, I looked at the plane to see that one of the doors were open. I climbed inside and entered into the cargo area. There I saw a face I was longing to see.
"Blu!"
"Huh? Jewel!"
I saw Blu trapped in his cage, shut tight with a lock.
"I'm going to get you out of here." I said to him.
"You can't. You need a key to open it."
"And guess who has it." someone said.
'Oh great!'
I turned around and saw Nigel, tossing a key in his talons.
"Ah, young love. So powerful, yet so predictable. I knew you would be back to rescue your boyfriend from me. That's why I let you off so easily the first time. You started quite the ruckus out there. But now, you have no escape."
I looked behind Nigel and saw the door was slammed shut by the humans. I heard the engine start and we started moving.
"There is no way out." said Nigel.
"We'll see about that!"
I charged for Nigel to grab the key. He dodged by flying up and he landed on the other side of the cargo area, the key still firmly in his grasp.
"Temper, temper, pretty bird."
This time he charged for me. He moved so fast that I didn't see it coming. He ran into me and while I was knocked down, he grabbed me by the throat with his free foot.
"Jewel!" shouted Blu.
"Too easy! You lose." said Nigel like it was some kind of game.
He lifted me up and threw me into an open cage next to Blu.
"Ah! Ow!" I said as I hit the hard cage wall.
Nigel locked the cage and flew back to the front.
"Sweet nightmares!" he said as he laughed crazily and walked through the front door and closed it.
"Are you okay, Jewel?" asked Blu."
"Yeah…I'm fine. I'm just happy you're okay."
"Thank you."
"For what?"
"For trying to save me. It really means a lot to me."
"You're welcome."
"At least we're together now."
"Yeah…"
Blu's P.O.V.
Well, we were back to being jailbirds (excuse the pun), but now I don't have to be alone. I had Jewel with me and that lifted me from a bit of sadness.
I felt that the plane had taken off and some of the cages moved around and scrambled a bit. I looked over to Jewel and noticed something next to her cage. A cable.
"Jewel, do you see that cable next to you?"
She looked over and saw what I was talking about.
"Yes, I do see it."
"Try reacing out and grabbing it."
She poked her foot out of the cage and reached far for the cable and she eventually got it in her grasp.
"I got it!"
"Great! Pass it over to me!"
She did what I told her and She passed it to me.
"Do you have a plan?" she asked.
"Oh yeah." I said as I looked at a fire extinguisher that was right next to my cage. "I definitely have a plan."
Hey! Be careful with that! It's very fragile! Oh! There you guys are! Well, that's another chapter done. Can't wait to continue. See you guys then.
