Chapter 29
A good dream
Blu couldn't focus on the lyrics of the song. All he was focusing on was dancing with Jewel, the smile on her face, how happy she seemed, but why didn't Blu feel so happy. Everything almost felt like a blur. Maybe because of all the flashing lights. It didn't feel that way before. Probably just because we've done this before I'm just getting nostalgic and that's why it feels like a blur, Blu convinced himself.
"Hey, Pedro turn up those lights!" Nico shouted. All of a sudden The lights got brighter, Blu squinted his eyes. His eyes couldn't handle all these colours. Jewel's face was blinded by the flashing light, but Blu still danced perfectly somehow. The birds in the club sang along with Pedro and Nico. Blu was beginning to feel dizzy. He wasn't sure if the lights were causing this or something else. Jewel giggled with happiness, on the other hand, Blu felt like he was going to vomit.
"Hold me close, Blu," Jewel said as she Pulled Blu into a hug. He could feel the warmth of her. Something still didn't feel right, like he wasn't actually dancing with her. It's weird how fast time goes by, Blu thought and kept thinking. Just yesterday it felt like I and Jewel were meeting for the first time. When she told me she was pregnant, when that Scarlet Macaw showed up. I tried to kill Jewel, I saved her, I got into a Coma, I got to meet my children the sweetest things on the planet. "It's okay, Blu," Jewel said with a soothing voice to him as the music still played in the background. "It's going to be okay, Blu. Wake up." Blu held Jewel tighter.
"But I don't want to go, not yet," He cried in a whisper.
"It'll be Okay. I'm here and will always be here with you." Blu's vision began to get wavy to the pint where he couldn't even understand what he was seeing. Flashing lights mixed in all colours. He felt everything disappearing in front of him, even with his eyes closed, but he still held onto Jewel, then she began to vanish.
"No, Jewel don't go!"
"Wake up, Blu," Jewel's voice repeated in his head until it drove him to the edge of insanity. He was unable to open his eyes like they were sealed shut. Blu dropped to his knees and began to cry into the void of complete nothingness and nothing else.
"BLU WAKE UP!" Jewel screamed at him at the of her lungs. Blu found himself able to open his eyes now, but he didn't understand where he was. The taste of salt-washed over his tongue. "Oh thank god, Blu. I thought you were dead." All Blu could see around him was the ocean.
"Where are the kids," he asked in a worried tone.
"What kids?" She said with a confused look at Blu. Blu's expression was Blank.
"Where are we, Jewel," Blu asked.
"You couldn't get enough altitude in time," Jewel answered and then began to cry. Blu looked down at Jewel and his talons, and saw than a chain connected.
