In this chapter, Rafael and William get into some trouble. Read on to find out. Hope you enjoy :)

I was slowly becoming bored, being stuck in this home. Rafael tried to keep me happy, but constant assault of the kids and Eva scolding us was getting a bit too far. And this was all in the first day, when we were grounded as if we were children. Already, I'm becoming sick of being a bird, but I have to keep myself sane long enough to find a cure. For my family. For my friends. For my future wife. But it was getting harder. I could see the sun going down over the horizon, signalling the coming of night.

"William!" Eva called my name, so I answered it and went inside.

"What do you need?"

"Don't you give me attitude. You're lucky I let you stay here." I rolled my eyes and sat down next to Rafael. "I'm going out tonight. I need you two to babysit." Rafael and me looked at her in surprise and fear.

"What?" we both exclaimed.

"You heard me. You two are babysitting. No excuses, no arguments." I was about to argue, but Rafael piped in.

"Fine, baby. We'll babysit."

"But..but..but what about my say in this?" I complained.

"Amigo, if you value your life, then stop now before you go to far." I listened to him and gave up, which made Eva happy.

"I'm happy we understand each other. I'll be back by midnight." She turned around to her children who were waiting patiently for her. "Now you kids be good for your papa and Mr William until I get back. Do you understand?"

"Yes mama!" they all simultaneously answered.

"Good. Bye kids! Bye boys!"

"Bye mama!" I watched as she flew out of sight.

"This shouldn't be so bad. I mean, they are just kids."

"Since you think so, amigo, then you can get the first watch." He hurried out of sight, leaving me with the kids.

"H-hey kids. So what do you want to do?" The kids all grinned, making me regret those words.

Rafael POV

For the first quarter of the night, I had been catching up on my sleep. That was before I heard some muffled screams.

"Ay yi yi. What did he do now?" I asked myself. I hopped out of my nest and headed out to where William and the kids were. What I found was very surprising. "Ay carumba! What happened?" I asked William, who was hanging from the ceiling upside down. He managed to finally get the leaf around his mouth off so he could talk.

"I regret being first. Can you help me down?" he requested. "I can't feel my talons."

"Don't worry. I'm coming, amigo." I headed over to the rope holding him up and pulled on it. He fell straight down. As he did, I felt something tighten around my talons. "What the- Waaaaah" I screamed as I was pulled up. We both stopped halfway up, facing each other.

"This is very awkward."

"You could have told me it was a trap!"

"How could I? I was unconscious at the time."

"Sorry. So what do we do now?"

"We could wait for Eva" I suggested.

"No way! She'll kill us! We have to find a way out of here before she gets back!"

"And what do you suggest?" William looked around and searched for a loose part in the rope. Then he looked at my beak.

"That's big enough. Maybe you can snip us out."

"That's actually not a bad idea."

"I know. But hurry, before the kids wake up."

"You mean you got them asleep? How?"

"Sung a lullaby. It's easy."

"You must teach me" I mumbled with the rope in my beak. I noticed he didn't understand. I moved it out of my beak before continuing. "I said you must teach me. It could be very useful."

"Okay. Now less talking, more snipping."

"Right." I got back to snipping with my beak while William kept his eyes on the kids. It took over half an hour to get halfway.

"Almost done?"

"You try to eat through this rope." Once again, he didn't understand. I spat the rope out and said it again. "I said you try to eat through this rope. It's made of the thickest vine around here, not to mention the taste. It tastes horrible." I waited for him to respond with some smart remark, but all I heard was slow breathing. "William?" I nudged him with my head, but he still didn't respond. "William? Are you with me?" Still no response. "Great. Now you're unconscious." I went back to biting at the rope.

Eva POV

"Kids, boys, I'm back!" The inside of the hollow remained quiet. "Is everything alright in there?" I peaked inside to find William sleeping and Rafael sitting in the nest, also sleeping. "I don't believe you two! Sleeping on the-"

"Shhh." Rafael, who wasn't sleeping, perked his head up. "Look." He pointed in front of him where the youngest of the children was resting.

"How did you get them asleep?"

"I didn't. William did." I pointed over to William and mouthed 'he did'. Rafael nodded. "He's got some secrets. Very mysterious." I stifled a little laugh and sat next to him. Then I noticed his talons were a bit purple.

"What happened?"

"Don't ask."

Hope you enjoyed. The multiple POV thing is something new I'm trying in my stories. See you in the next chapter :)
