AN-Thank you everyone who is reading and enjoying the story.
I have always hated being forced into situations against my will, even more so without my acknowledgement.
I lightly cracked open my right eye and saw the familiar iron bars of my cage. I must have fallen asleep and Linda was kind enough to place me in my cage. I considered waking up but decided against it and reclosed my eyes. Slowly I turned onto my other side to get into a more comfortable position and out stretched my wing.
At first I paid no attention to the fact that my wing had landed onto something, something foreign and alien to my cage, something warm, and something with feathers…
The alien object lightly took hold of my wing and pulled me closer. I opened my eyes in shock and my greatest fear came true. Jewel lay in front of me, the back of her head centimeters from mine, she quietly moaned and turned over. I tried my best to slip from her grasp before she woke but in turn she started to snuggle her head deep into my chest, as much as I hate to admit it felt good, and I felt my cheeks beginning to turn into small balls of fire igniting my face into a dark bloom of red.
"Ahem." I grunted clearing my throat.
Jewel stopped her cuddling with my chest and froze in place. Slowly she pulled away from me, her pupils the size of a grain of sand. She looked down at her chest and lightly gasped at the sight of my dark cerulean feathers mixed with her own.
"J-J-Jewel, I can e-e-e-explain." I stuttered, tripping over my own words.
In a flash her eyes changed from shock to anger, the fires of hell had no fury like hers. My face turned pale and I stayed still like a stone statue.
"Just what the hell were you doing?" She yelled at me throwing her wings into the air.
"Nothing!" I shrieked.
"Nothing! NOTHING!" she pointed to my feathers spread across her chest, "You call this nothing!"
"You were the one cuddling with me!"
"How dare you accuse me!" She roared, booming over my own voice.
"I'm not accusing you of anything!"
"I swear Blu, if you touched me inappropriately!"
I hung my jaw in disgust, "Why I would never do something like that! I'm not a pervert!"
"Then why the hell do you have me in your cage!"
"I didn't bring you in here!" I said defending myself of false accusation.
"Then how?"
It just then occurred to me that even through all this yelling and squawking Tulio and Linda never once showed up, if Jewel wanted to she could murder me right now, the thought sent shivers down my spine.
"I think Tulio and Linda stuck us in here then left."
"Great! It's just being stuck in one cage to another." Jewel whined.
I smirked, "No need to worry about being stuck."
Grinning I walked over to the cage door and unlatched the lever and proceeded to swing it open. I slid down the door and landed on the floor with a no problem, I looked back up to a puzzled Jewel leaning her head over the side.
"I didn't know you could be so agile." She complimented.
"Ah, it's nothing." I smiled, "Are you coming?"
"I don't know if I can." Jewel nervously said.
"Don't worry, I know you can."
"It would be nice if I could just fly down." She grumbled.
"Why not just glide?" I suggested.
Jewel lightly smiled and disappeared back into the cage. Seconds later I heard her claws clicking against the cages metal floor, she was getting a running start. Next thing I knew Jewel leaped out of the cage at full speed and spread her wings to their full extent. I stood mesmerized by her grace and beauty as she glided through the air like an angel. I was mesmerized out of my mind that I didn't hear Jewel cries for me to look out; before I knew it I was hit with full force of Jewels body.
"Blu! What were you doing?" She asked pushing herself off of my chest.
"Sorry I just blanked out."
"Well it was sweet of you to break my fall but be more careful next time."
"Right, sorry."
"So what do you do around here?" Jewel asked looking around.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"For fun, what do you do?"
"I usually read."
"Read? You mean you understand human?"
"Yea I do."
"That's weird."
"How is that weird?" I asked offended.
"Just is, most birds don't care for human language."
"Well I think it's a very useful skill to have." I said defending myself.
"Well what does this say?" She asked.
Jewel was pointing to a sheet of paper on the floor a couple of feet in front of us. The two of us walked over to it and I recognized the handwriting as Linda's.
"It's a note from Linda." I told her.
Hey Blu,
Tulio and I decided to go out for a while and grab something to eat. Don't worry I'll be back soon and the doors are locked so you and Jewel are safe.
P.S. There is food in the kitchen, help yourselves if you get hungry.
P.S.S Sorry about you and Jewel being…so close in your cage, it was Tulios doing…
I finished reading the letter and crumpled it up.
"Well what did it say?" Jewel asked.
"They went out to get some food and will be back later, also it was TUlio's fault we were put in my cage together."
"Figures." She scoffed.
"Well, are you hungry?"
"I could eat, just not human food."
"I think there is still some bird feed in the kitchen, follow me."
And thus began the perilous journey up the stairs…
AN-As some of you may already know, I had a dirt bike accident and eding up with a concussion and a swollen face and eye/eyes, I can see very little out of left eye and my right one is completely swollen shut. So I will be out of school for the next week at least and I hope to get at least one chapter down every two days.
Thanks for reading and review if you will.
