Help Has Arrived:

Author's Note: Okay, I want to start a new story, and I have no idea what to write about. So I'm using a randomizer. I'll tell you what, um, movie the next story will be about in chapter 13! So without further ado, let's pick off:

Tulisa groaned, "Now we're doomed, we're stuck in a cage, almost going to board to plane to who knows where!" "Hey," I said trying to be positive, "We might become human's, uh, what's it called? Pets, yes that's the word." "I don't want to be a pet!" Tulisa spat, as if that was the worst thing in the world. "Better than being killed!" I returned. Tulisa sighed, "Arguing isn't going to get us anywhere." "You're right about that!" I said. "Eh!" an old parakeet shouted from the cage beside them, "Some birds are trying to sleep!" "Sorry," I grumbled, "For disturbing your beauty rest." "Good night Tulisa," I said, "We should get some rest, it's been a stressful day." "You think?" Tulisa said, although she looked relived to be able to sleep. "Can I, er…lean against you?" Tulisa requested, "Only because it's cold," she added quickly. "Sure," I replied, trying to disguise my delight. Tulisa snuggled up against me, and I wrapped my wings around her. Looking outside the cage, I saw Ruby looking at us with a look of dismay and envy, she quickly turned away when she saw me looking at her. Huh, I wonder what that was about.

I quickly forgot about it, and drifted off to a peaceful slumber. I woke to the sound of urgent tapping on metal. A spix macaw was tapping on my cage, "Wake up! Are you Leaf?" "Yes," I whispered. "Boys," the spix macaw called, "I found him." "How do you know my name?" I demanded. "This spix macaw in the Amazon named Blu was asking everybody to help him find a peregrine falcon with the name Leaf. He promised a reward if you were found, and my friends and I knew about this place so we came straight away!" the spix macaw explained. Blu! A gang of five spix macaws emerged from the darkness, followed by two scarlet macaws. The first spix macaw began picking at the lock when something moved in the darkness. "Look out!" I hissed. A scarlet macaw screeched, as Salem threw her to the ground. "What are you all doing here?" Salem asked smoothly. "None of your business!" the lead spix macaw shouted, "Boys, get'em! Except for Rodger, you can keep picking that lock." Rodger began to scratch at the lock faster and with more urgency. Tulisa was wide awake now; the screech of the scarlet macaw had woke her up, along with many other birds. The gang could easily overpower the hawk and one of the burlier ones pinned him down. "I demand you to release me!" Salem shouted. "Not happening sir," the spix macaw holding him down laughed. "There!" Rodger cried, swing open the cage door. "No!" Salem screeched, "Not that cage! Any cage but that cage!" Rodger waved his wing, "Go! Hurry, before the humans come!" Without wasting a moment, Tulisa and I flew out of the cage. The rest of the birds were causing a clamor, "Hey, let me out!" the old parakeet screeched. "No!" a scarlet macaw shouted, "Help me!" The rest of the birds began arguing over who should be rescued first. "Shut up!" the lead macaw roared, "If you are too loud, the humans will come and none of you will escape!" The birds immediately quieted down. "Everybody," the spix macaw commanded, "Get to work." "I don't know how to unlock cages," Tulisa fretted. "Then just go for the ones with a sliding metal thing," I said, "Slide the metal rod out of the metal hole and the door is unlocked." Tulisa nodded, "Got it."

Soon, all the imprisoned birds were free. "NOOOOOO!" Salem roared, throwing off the spix macaw, "Come! Come! The birds are escaping!" Salem screeched, trying to make as much noise as possible. The burly spix macaw tackled Salem down and muffled his screams with a wing, but it was too late. "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN HERE?" Lucifer bellowed, "Men! Get the birds!"

All birds exploded into panic. "RUN!" "It's the end!" "HELP!" "AHHH! He's got my WING, HELP MEEEEE!" "TULISA!" I bellowed, "TULISA, WHERE ARE YOU?" "Leaf!" Ruby called in relief, "C'mon, we've got to get out of here!" "But Tulisa!" I protested. Ruby's expression hardened, "Maybe Tulisa's already out—" "LEAF!" a familiar voice screamed, "HELP ME!" "Tulisa!" I cried, "I'm coming!" "Leaf!" Ruby groaned, flying after me. Salem was clutching her talons, swinging her upside down, "They might get away sweetheart, but you aren't!" he snarled. "Leaf!" Tulisa cried in relief. I charged at Salem furiously, but something grabbed me. It was Rodger. "What are you doing?" I shouted, fighting his grip. "I'm sorry Leaf," Rodger said, flying backwards, "But you're the only reason we came, we can't let the humans capture you!" As Rodger dragged me away, I could only watch helplessly as Salem thrust Tulisa into a cage and locked it. "No!" I cried, "Tulisa!"
