Chapter 7

Shocking Discovery

~Beth's House~

It had already been 2 weeks since Alejandro first came to visit and kept coming back as promised since then. Beth was always thrilled to see him, but Gwen could care less about him being coming over or not. She wasn't crazy about him as Beth was and yet she just had to suck it up and go with it for now. And so for weeks on Gwen had to just put up with Alejandro's company, tall tales and flirtatious pick up lines to her. As much as she wanted to gage, it wasn't yet enough to make her do so just yet.

After about 3 more weeks Alejandro had a little surprise for the girls. The only thing was that they had to go through the dark tunnel to get to this so-called surprise. Beth was eager to see it and didn't want to waste any time, but Gwen could care less about it. (At least for now anyway.) So later that day Alejandro guided the girls through the tunnel to where this surprise was held at. Once there, all eyes was brought upon a big bird that was out cold but looked like it was dead which freaked out Beth and shocked Gwen.

"This creature's been like this for a few days now, and I can only guess that it's dead." Alejandro told the girls.

"How do you now that for sure? I mean the poor thing could still be alive but in need of help." Gwen pointed out.

"Trust me mi amor I've seen creatures like this and he's as dead as a door mouse." Alejandro said.

"Oh you're probably right Alejandro, we best to leave him be. There's nothing else we can do now for him." Beth said sadly.

Well this didn't please Gwen and so later that night she snuck off back into the tunnel with some warm water and a blanket for the bird. As soon as she reached the bird she drapped the blanket over him before checking his heartbeat.

"He's still alive, but he's barely holding up. I better hurry up and warm him up before it's to late." Gwen said to herself as she hurried to warm up the bird.

She rubbed his feathers and used the warm water on his forehead and for himself. She continued to do this step proceed over and over until finally she heard a coughing noise coming from her big feathery friend. A smile came upon her face as she helped him up making sure the blanket didn't fall off of him.

"*Cough.* *Cough.* *Cough.* Aw...What in sweet blueberry muffins happened?" The bird questioned coughing some more.

"Wow there big guy, here drink some water." Gwen offered helping him drink.

The bird drank up all the water quickly returning a moist feeling to his mouth. Once he finished drinking he licked his i-uh beak and chirpped with happiness making Gwen smile at this.

"Aw man you have no idea how good that feels for my mouth! Now if I only had something for my stomach...*stomach growls.*" The bird told her.

"Well I did bring some bread with me, here." Gwen replied holding out some bread for the bird to take. Which he did without hesitation and seconds flat eastting all the bread within seconds leaving nothing but crumbs in Gwen's hands.

"Good thing I brought the bread then." Gwen said.

"*Burp!* *Chuckles.* Sorry, I haven't eatten in what fees like weeks!" The bird explained.

"I understand, the important thing is that you're alive and well now." Gwen replied.

"Yeah! Oh wait...*Tries to flap his wings but feels pain in his left one.* Ouch! Oh...I must have broken my wing when I crashed down here." The bird explained in sorrow.

"Oh no, hey look don't worry I'm going to help get you better again so you can fly back home." Gwen told him.

"Really? Oh thank you so much! Thank you very, very much...Uh..." The bird was saying until he realized he didn't know Gwen's name.

"Gwen, my name is Gwen. How about you, do you have a name?" She replied asking the bird.

"Yup! Name's Owen!" He replied happily.

"Nice to meet you Owen."

"Nice to meet you to Gwen."
