A Whole New World - Chapter 10: Failed Plan

RIO2lover100: That's the good thing at least.

fanficwriter024: I'm glad you love the story and have high hopes for it. More of their relationship will be revealed in later chapters. Shadow you say? Well can't say I disagree. Despite him being my own creation, I like him as well.

Rio Review: Meeting a certain someone? And you won't tell?

Anon: Awesome :)

G6: Sorry but like I said school work is building up.

In time we managed to make it over to the structure that Blu had pointed out to us. It was tall, made of wood and looked very crude compared to what other thing we've seen humans have been able to build.

When we did make, I looked up at it and sighed. Jewel and Sapphire just flew up there of course seeing as one of them wasn't attached to the flightless bird.

"Can't believe I have to drag your sorry ass all the way up there."

Of course, Blu found a way for my words to backfire.

"Watch and learn." He said and ran towards the structure, pulling me along.

"What are-Whoa!"

I stopped in mid-sentence because Blu suddenly started dragging me up the wooden structure. He stopped about half way to make a remark.

"Whose dragging whose ass now?" He asked with a smug smile.

I couldn't help but chuckle slightly at his remark.

"Haha, very funny Blu."

After a few more seconds he managed to climb all the way up, while dragging me along. Once up the top he looked at, smug smile still on his face.

"Who needs flying?"

I would've replied but Sapphire cut me off.

"Birds do Blu. To fly is like...like...it's freedom...don't you want that?"

Blu looked away solemnly...he seemed sad suddenly.

"I don't know...seems pretty lonely." He replied sadly.

"It is quite the opposite Blu." I said interjecting, "Up there in the air, there are so many other birds to be flying around with. It never is really lonely...it's true freedom."

There was a long period of silence that followed my comment. The atmosphere surrounding us seemed to drop into a depressing mood. We all noticed this but didn't want to speak up...well all expect the one I love.

"How about we all just get some sleep?"

There was a chorus of agreement and before too long, all but Blu dropped off to sleep. However, I had troubles sleeping considering for the years we were together Jewel and I would always sleep together, side by side. Not having her by my side felt strange and awkward.

Morning rolled in and we started walking through the forest. At the moment, the forest was our protection from Razor and Nigel.

"Forest seems so quiet...and that does not settle well with me." I whispered.

And it was quiet for a good reason. It seems not many birds lived in and around this area which was surprising. I was hoping we could find some help to get this chain off of our legs but in a forest, that was going to be hard to do as not many birds knew anything about human objects.

"I have an idea." Blu spoke suddenly. He also stopped which caused me to yank on the chain unintentionally.

I instantly deadpanned as I looked back at Blu and than gave him an incredulous look, which he ignored. I find it hard to believe he would know how to get this chain off of our legs. He was a bird for crying out loud!

He grabbed a nearby stick and started drawing some weird things in the ground. Once it was done, we all gathered around to look at Blu's 'drawing' if you could call it that. We all had blank looks on our face as we did not understand a single thing.

So Blu went into an explanation about what it all meant and at the end, we still had blank looks on our face. We had no idea what the hell he was saying. Shouldn't I have some idea though considering I am his brother?

Answer to that, no.

Blu noticed our blank looks. "Basically, we lift a big rock up and then put our chains on another rock under it and the rock fall, smashing the chains effectively setting us all free."

Now we all understood what he was talking about and I'm sure our simultaneous 'oh' got that point across.

And so after much huff and puffing. After much straining and panting, we managed to get a rock high above another rock that coincidentally happened to be in the area. I was still very dubious about this plan.

"Are you sure this is going to work?" I asked Blu.

He simply looked at me with a smile. "Positive. Just look at my drawing."

That's a comforting thought.

"Look, let's just get this chain broken." Sapphire sighed.

This made Blu perk up.

"Right! Then we can go find Linda."

Linda? Who is Linda? Jewel was giving me the same questioning look.

"Who is Linda?" I asked before Sapphire replied.

Judging by the look in Blu's eyes, he didn't really want to tell me cause I wouldn't like it. Nonetheless, he told me.

"Linda is a human."

Did he...did he just...did...

"A HUMAN?!" I exploded. "Are you out of you bloody mind?!"

I was about to advance forward before Jewel stepped in front to hold me back.

"Easy Shadow. I don't like it either but go easy. There's probably a story for it."

And sure enough there. For all the years I had been without my brother, he had been raised and cared for by the human called Linda. I'm grateful that he was treated well but I still don't trust this human.

"Fine." I said after he finished explaining. "But I still don't trust her and that means I'm not going to go looking for her."

Blu moved a wing in gesture as he was about to talk but he ended knocking the vine that was holding the rock causing to go flying along, catching the hook of Blu's beak as it went causing him to dragged along this of course caused me to be dragged along, following the same path the vine had. In the end we came crashing down on the rock that was suppose to be used for the big rock.

I instantly collapsed to the ground and moaned in pain.

"Nice try, genius."

Yes, I know short chapter but I wanted to get one out. Mostly short cause I've got writer's block despite the fact I'm pretty much following the movie. The writer's block is affecting in that it's how I write the story and chapters. So yeah.
