Part 2 is here. Something happened to my old file, which was corrupted, and I can't open it, so I have to start all over again. It took 8 hours to make this chapter again, and it was worth it.
Happy Halloween, everyone!
Warning: More violence and gore. More blood too. You better get a bag whoever's going to puke when reading or seeing blood.
Debbie opened the door as she saw Red in front of her while holding his wand staff, "I got your message about Aggie." He entered as Debbie closed the door
"She's still not coming out of her room," the young eagle replied
"At this time, she's probably sleeping," Mighty Eagle answered, "But she hadn't eaten her lunch yet, and lunch is her favorite meal of the day."
"We were thinking that you should gave this to her," Zeta showed up with a tray of lunch.
But Red hesitated "Guys, you know Aggie doesn't want me near her."
"Yeah, that's true, but you're the reason she got into this mess in the first place… I'm not angry, just reminding, but you get my point," Zeta reminded.
"Plus, her door's lock. You probably have some magic in the wand staff she gave you to unlock doors," Debbie pointed.
Red hung his head down as he admitted he has been mastering spells from Aggie's spell book for this past couple of weeks. He even mastered the Unlock Spell of any locks and knobs, "I have. I've been practicing using the wand staff, and I know how to unlock doors, less destructive."
"Good. So, just give it to her, and you can come out if you're ready," Zeta shove the tray to Red to make him hold it.
Red rolled his eyes as he headed towards Aggie's door. He twisted the knob first, finding out it was lock. While holding the tray with one of his wings, Red used the other wing to hold his wand staff, and casted a spell to unlock the door. After that, he twisted the knob again, and it was unlock. He slowly opened the door, and looked around that the room is dark, and saw Aggie lying on her bed, sleeping.
The red bird quietly entered the room, closed the door behind him, and locked the door. He walked towards the sleeping Aggie as he watched her sleep.
"Hey, Aggie," Red came close beside her bed, "I-I brought food. It was your Aunt Zeta's cook, so…"
Aggie didn't answer. Of course she can't answer. She's asleep. Red put the tray of food on the table next to the bed. He couldn't help but lightly brush her hair aside from her face. Red couldn't believe how beautiful Aggie is while she's sleeping. He sighed.
"You're so beautiful… How could I ever hurt someone so beautiful like you?"
She still didn't answer. Since now he's closer with Aggie again, Red has more to confess to her, and this time, he would make the most of it. Nothing will cut him off of his confession now Aggie is asleep. He wanted to take it all out from his chest as he practiced on this confession for weeks. He'll try to speak softly so he won't wake her up.
"Aggie, I know you couldn't hear me because your sleeping… and you might be dreaming too," He started "But… I really want to say… I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't mean to betray you. I don't know why I had this feeling for Silver, but, to be honest, the only one that is in my mind was you, Aggie. I had never stopped thinking about, even if Bird Island and Piggy Island were at stake. I tried to stay focus on the mission when we tried to stick with Silver's plan to stop Zeta's super weapon, but I still thought about you. I hoped that you would come back to help us, because you're smart, friendly, strongest and most powerful member of our team…, and you're my best friend. I-I couldn't take action without you."
Red couldn't stand up much longer as he tried to find something to sit down. There was a chair at the Working table, but he will make a sound or movement that will wake Aggie up if he move the chair. Feeling he wanted to be so close with Aggie, Red wanted to sit down on the bed beside her. He slowly sat on the bed, carefully not to make a sudden movement, placed his wing on Aggie's head. He looked down at her, and continued to speak.
"I admit that I didn't notice how you feel when Silver was around me, but… I tried not to betray you… but you already thought of me that way. I couldn't argue with that because it's true. I did betray you. I thought you moved one. I also thought I moved on. But I didn't, Aggie. I didn't move one. I never move on from my feeling for you," Feeling the love in his heart for Aggie, Red wanted to touch her more as he slowly moved her head and upper body from the pillows, and placed her on his lap. He could see more of Aggie's beauty while she sleeps as he brushed her hair, trying not to touch her scalp or she'll feel that he was here, "Because I still love you. I really do love you… and I know you still do, but you're forcing yourself not to love me back because… I hurt you… again, and I understand you don't want to get hurt again."
Unbeknownst to Red, Aggie was awake this whole time. Just before Red came, Aggie tried to go to sleep as she felt sleepy after staying up all night because of her trauma from her nightmare, but she's still awake. She heard Red coming in, but she knew he thought she was asleep, so she pretended to be asleep to wait for Red to leave, but he never left. Instead, he was confessing about his true feelings for her, and she was listening the whole thing. From the sound of his voice, he was serious this time. She could even feel she was beside him, and moved her head on his lap. She didn't mind at all. She didn't want to wake up because Red might feel so embarrassed if he finds out she was listening to him. It made him comfortable to speak up if he thought she wasn't listening because she's sleeping, so Aggie has to fake her sleep to save Red from embarrassment.
While confessing, Red started to tear up as he felt so guilty for hurting Aggie, and it hurts when he lost her. He then hugged her with all his love full-hearted. He was so gentle to hug her, and tried to tighten the hug, or she'll wake up, "But Aggie, I promise, I will never hurt you again. If you could just give me a chance to make it up to you, I promise I will never betray you again. You could've been my wife, we could've been a family, we could've been happy together because we love each other so much, and we stayed together forever," Red closed his eyes as tears rolled down on his face, and one of the tears fell on Aggie's hair, "Please, Aggie, forgive me. Please. I love you."
While Red was crying in forgiveness, Aggie could feel herself crying as well. In the hug, she could feel his heart beating. She felt so guilty for avoiding him since their break up. She realized he's been trying to hard to get her back, but she kept rejecting him. If she did give him a chance, they would married, being husband and wife, have kids, and grow old together. Aggie wanted to hug him back tightly to comfort him, but she can't let him know she was awake and she was listening or he'll embarrass himself. She has to keep pretending to be asleep, and tried not to cry hard. Her eyes were already watered in tears as she let them shed, but she can't cry loud.
When the night came, Red was still brushing Aggie's hair, watching her sleep. When Red turned to the clock beside him, checking it's 8:00pm, he realized it's already evening. He wanted to return home, but he couldn't leave Aggie. He promised he will never leave her, not like right now. He meant his world. He couldn't leave her. He can't even move a muscle since Aggie still slept on his lap.
"Don't worry, Aggie. I won't leave you. I'll be here with you while you're still sleeping. I did promise before when we went to sleep together, I'll be here by your side, so you won't feel alone, and you won't have nightmares again. I keep that promise, Aggie. I will never leave you alone. I promise. I won't sleep until you have a very good sleep until tomorrow," Red leaned a little closer near Aggie's face, and whispered, "I love you so much, Aggie. I love you."
Aggie is still pretend sleeping as she could everything what Red just said. Guess she can't wake up anytime soon until tomorrow. She still can't sleep because of her nightmare, but now that Red is here, Aggie felt so sleepy, and Red's feathers are so soft like pillows. She really missed how she used to sleep with Red when they were still dating. And now, she can feel the love in her heart again. Since Red couldn't leave until tomorrow, Aggie tried to go to sleep if she can, and after few minutes, she went fast asleep, for real this time. Now Red is here to comfort her, Aggie can sleep well.
The next morning, Red has been awake all night watching over Aggie and kept brushing her hair. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her, and couldn't move a muscle the entire night. When Red looked at the clock again and it said it's 7:15am, he realized it's morning, but Aggie hasn't woke up yet.
"Aggie…, it's morning," He tested her if she wakes up, but she's still sleeping.
Red sighed as he felt sleepy himself. He can't sleep here with Aggie or she'll find out he was here the whole night. he has to get back to his house to rest. he slowly lifted Aggie's head from his lap, and placed her back on her pillows. Red then moved very slowly from the bed to avoid sudden movements.
"I know I said I won't leave you, but you'll wake up soon, and I know you still don't want me around, so… I have to go back home to get some rest." "Red then looked at the tray of food he brought from yesterday as he chuckled, "Can't believe you haven't eat all day yesterday. But don't worry, your lunch is still good and fresh to eat, you can eat lunch for breakfast if you want." He leaned a little closer towards Aggie's face, and planted a kiss on her forehead, "Take care of yourself, Aggie, but I'll be back. I promise," He stood up, and walked towards the door. before he could close the door, he won't leave until he said quietly to Aggie, "I love you."
When Red left and finally closed the door, Aggie sat up on her bed. She already woke up this morning, an hour before Red attempted to wake her up. She listened to Red's last conversation before he left. Aggie hung her head down in guilt as her eyes watered. She realized that avoiding and rejecting Red hurt his feelings as much as he hurt hers.
"Oh Red," Aggie covered her face with her wings, "I… love… you… too," She started to whimper.
Outside, Red released the door knob, and felt himself crying as well, but he quickly wiped them away as Zeta was standing beside him, waiting for him to come out of the room.
"So, how's it goes? You've been in her room with her the whole night," the purple eagle said.
"Eh, she's still sleeping. Probably she hadn't slept after waking up from a nightmare or something. She must be very tired," Red said, "Look, I'll be back. I'll just get some sleep. I haven't been sleeping all night just to watch over her. I'll check on her again after I woke up, okay? And don't worry, she may be eating her lunch inside for breakfast, it's still good." Red walked towards the door as Debbie opened it for him, "I'll see you later guys," the red bird said before heading out as Debbie closed the door.
Red was waking down the mountain form the Eagle Family's house all by himself. All the way, he felt very sleepy. He didn't sleep last night, not even for a minute. He kept his eyes wide open to watch Aggie sleeping. He slapped himself when he almost closed his eyes.
He made it to Bird village as he was about to head towards his house, but he was encountered by Chuck, Bomb and Silver.
"Hey, Red," Chuck greeted, "Wow, you've been with Mighty Eagle and his family all night last night."
"Yeah, I was watching over Aggie," Red nodded, "Don't worry, she didn't know I was there. She's asleep."
"So, what happened to her?" Bomb asked.
"I don't know. Only I know is she locked herself in her room, didn't eat her food, and slept all day and night without opening her eyes, not even a single glance."
"But lunch is her favorite meal. She never resists a good lunch,"
"I know, and I never seen her skip lunch before." Red yawned, "Look, I love to stay and chat, but I better go home to get some sleep. I haven't slept for watching Aggie all night." He turned the other way around to get pass his friends in front of him, and headed towards the door.
"Oh, okay. You should get some sleep, Red. At least 8 hours because lack of sleep is unhealthy, and sleeping 7-8 hours is enough," Silver stated.
But Red rolled his eyes, and groaned as he turned to her, "I know how long I can sleep, Silver! Aggie already told me that before you do!" When he saw the fear and concern on his friends' faces, Red realized his was a little harsh, "Sorry, it's just tired me saying. Just let me get some sleep," He got inside his house and slammed the door.
The three birds are still standing in fear and concern for Red.
"Man, lack of sleep makes you feel cranky," Chuck said.
In the Eagle Family's house, Aggie finally got out of her room after a short nap, and eating yesterday's lunch for breakfast.
"Hey, guys," she yawned while greeting her adoptive family.
"Cousin Aggie!" Debbie rushed to hug her adoptive cousin, "So glad you got out of your room."
"Man, just one day, we already missed you!" Mighty eagle winked
"Thanks, Uncle Ethan," the sparrow blushed.
"So, how was your sleep?" Zeta asked.
"Not really great. But, I've been thinking…" Aggie didn't know how to start as she rubbed the back of her neck, "I slightly heard what Red told me that night while I was sleeping, and I realized that I was wrong of avoiding Red after we broke up. I admit, I'm still in love with him, and I hurt him when I keep rejecting him."
"Then, don't avoid love! You two are destined to be together. You should give love another chance," Zeta advised, then looked at Mighty Eagle with a loving smiled. "Just like I did."
But Aggie looked in disgust, "Yeah, I see that. Maybe I should give Red another chance."
"That's the spirit!" Mighty Eagle exclaimed, "But Red might be sleeping by now. He stayed up all night watching you, so you should tell him tomorrow."
"Alright, I will," nodded Aggie, "Hey, I know that I ate lunch for breakfast, but it doesn't mean I can't eat lunch again."
"I know you're favorite," Zeta winked as she volunteered to cook Aggie's favorite lunch for her.
Aggie squealed in excitement.
At night, Red was still asleep on his nest. He hadn't have any dreams yet while he slept in the middle of afternoon... until now.
A figure was walking out of nowhere as it entered Aggie's old house, where she was staying for the night. The figure went to the kitchen, and grabbed a big sharp knife from the table. Then, it opened the door of Aggie's bedroom, where Aggie is sleeping. because of the light behind the figure, the shadow of the knife was seen clearly.
Aggie woke up because of the light hit her closed eyes. She rubbed her eyes, and saw the figure who she recognized, "Red, what are you doing?" That was until she noticed the knife was lifted, pointing towards her, Wait, no!"
But it was too late as the knife was pulled down, and few drops of blood squirted all over the bed.
In the real world, it was a stormy night as lightning stroke in the sky and thunder clapped.
At the Eagle Family's house, Mighty Eagle, Zeta, Debbie and Aggie were having dinner as they were startled by the lighting.
"Wow, what a strong weather tonight," Debbie commented.
Aggie ate a spoonful of worms, "I hope Red slept well. I remember he couldn't sleep with noises."
Back in Red's dream, Aggie was thrown on the wall with blood flowed out from her right hip, which the blood was spread on the wall
"Ah!" She tried to get up as she held her hip with one wing to cover the bleeding, "Red, no, please!"
Red then approached her with a knife, and his wings are covered with blood, "You really think I betrayed you, I hurt you, I ruined you life?! But look what you did to me!" When he was near her, he dug the knife into Aggie's abdomen, making her scream in pain, "You were the one who broke up with me! You broke up with me first! Your job of 'saving the universe' is more important than our love."
"No, that's not true! You're too important to me, Red!" Aggie cried while wincing in pain, "If the universe destroys, then your world will too."
"But why breaking up with me?! I could've help you! don't you trust me?!"
"I do trust you, Red! I just don't want you to get hurt!"
"LIAR!" Red drew the knife from Aggie's abdomen, and punched her on the face, which made her flew at the other side of the room, "You only did that because you're not ready to spend the rest of your life with me! And after you finished your mission, you still didn't take me back! You had your chance, Aggie! But you were too late! It wasn't me who ruined your life, Aggie, or Silver, or anyone, it was all on you! You're too slow to take action, you're too silent to speak, you're a fool to ever hurt or kill anyone... And you blamed me!"
When Red was about to approach Aggie again, Aggie tried to run away, avoiding more stabs from him, but she was too weak to walk or movie, having too big wounds that more blood flowed out of her body.
"You know what's worse, Aggie?! This! You killed me, you make me bled to death! You almost killed us all!" With his new power, Red used his telekinesis to hold Aggie's hair to make her stop moving, making her cry, "You even rejected me whenever I wanted you back. You even kept avoiding me, and dated someone else! You said a couple of times you love me. I don't know what this is between us, Aggie, but this isn't love at all! And now..., I will do the same thing you did to me back in Magic Island!"
Red pulled Aggie towards him, and stabbed the knife through her chest, making Aggie gasped as she couldn't scream anymore. She only felt numb, and she couldn't move a muscle, not when there's a knife through her chest. While her mouth is open, there was blood coming out of her mouth, and her teeth gritted, wincing in pain.
"You feel that, Aggie?! Is it more painful than your broken heart?!" Red then gave Aggie another stab through her chest again, just like how Aggie/Dark Aggie did to him, "I want you to feel how I felt when you killed me!"
Aggie groaned in pain as she held the knife Red was holding on, "Red, please, have mercy!"
"Mercy is for the weak!" Red pulled the knife from her chest, and pushed Aggie down on the floor.
Aggie grunted as she embraced both of her wings around herself to cover the wounds on her chest. She can feel her heart still beating, but she felt so weak because of blood loss. She can still catch a glimpse at Red, whose body is now covered with her blood, and her face was even angrier than he usually does, "Red, I know you're angry. You have every right to get angry at me. I know, I shouldn't blamed you for my own actions. You were right. It was my fault. But, Red, I didn't mean to kill you or hurt you. I only avoided you and rejected you because, not I only I don't want to get hurt, it's because I don't you to get hurt. I did very bad to you because I was jealous, and you didn't how much you mean to me because I avoided you. But believe me, Red, deep inside, I love you. And I'm still am. If... if you just give me another chance, Red, I'll prove to you that I love you... And I want to be with you for the rest of my life."
Red's anger slowly faded when she heard Aggie's confession. Hearing her confess while bleeding made Red realized she was fighting to live in order to tell him she really loves him. Aggie looked at Red's eyes as it was like she was begging for mercy. When Red saw this, he wanted to spare Aggie because he still loves her...
But killing him to death back in Magic Island was unforgivable as he wanted to get back at her. He charged forward at aggie, pinning her down as Aggie felt another pain from her body. She struggled herself to break free, but Red knew how to trap her.
"Just in case you won't lie to me again!" Red dig the tip of the knife back on Aggie's right chest, and dragged it downward, tearing down her chest.
"AAAHHH!" Aggie shouted in pain. It was so painful that her chest was teared open. It is where her heart was placed, "Red..., what are you doing?!"
"Getting what was once mine..." Red dropped the knife, and inserted his wing into Aggie's chest, "You're heart..." Then, he finally grabbed what he was looking for, "Belongs..."
Aggie gasped ash she knew what Red was about to do as she whimpered, "Red, no!"
"TO ME!" at the final blow, Red pulled Aggie's heart out from her chest..., literally, as blood squirted out of her chest like a weak fountain. The blood the reach the ceiling, more of it splatted all over the walls, and the rest were on Red's face, which he closed his eyes so the blood won't hit his eyes.
Red panted in anger as he took for a moment to rest, until he realized he was out of his system, It's like he doesn't know what he was doing. when he realized there are blood all over him, he panted anxiously. He also felt there was a beating heart in her wing. He was scared as he threw it away, which it rolled besides Aggie, who was lying down on the floor, panting for air, and her whole body is covered with blood. Aggie gasped in horror when he saw his former love interest was injured with multiple stabs, and her heart got pulled out... by him
"No." Red shivered, "No, no, no, no, no! Aggie, I... I'm so sorry, I didn't mean..."
"No, Red," Aggie coughed, "You got what you wanted..., and I paid the price."
"No! This isn't what I wanted!" Red tried to think of something that could help her. Then, he noticed Aggie's beating heart beside him, "Don't worry, Aggie. I'll... I'll fix this!" He grabbed her heart, and tried to place it back into Aggie's chest, "You'll be fine, Aggie. You'll be fine... Just stay with me."
As Red tried to figure out how to put Aggie's heart back into her chest, Aggie held Red's wing, making him stop doing what he was doing, "No. don't, Red. It's okay," She coughed up blood, "I just want you to know that... I love you s-s-so much. I'm too weak to show it. I still love you, Red."
Red started to cry, "I love you too, Aggie." He lifted Aggie's bloody body as he hugged her tightly, and sobbed. He couldn't believe what he had done. he killed Aggie, the love of his life! The one who he thought he loved. but this isn't how he showed love for her.
Back in the real world, Red was squirming and crying in his sleep on his nest.
In his dream, Red was still hugging Aggie while crying for her dear life. But when he opened is eyes, he noticed Aggie was no longer in his arms, except for her feathers with sticky blood all over them.
Suddenly, wind whistled as it blew all of Aggie's feathers, especially the ones with blood. It was like Aggie is passing away. Red tried to retrieve them, but he only grabbed one. the feather he caught is the only thing left of Aggie to remind him by. But then, there's a small strong wing passing by as it blew Aggie's feathers from Aggie's finger.
"No!" Red tried to get the feather before it disappeared, but it was too late.
There was nothing left of Aggie. He killed her. and she's gone... for good.
"NNOOOOOOO!"
*end of dream*
"NOOOOO!" Red sat up on his nest as he woke up. He panted in fear as he shivered. He looked at his surroundings and realized he was in his room, and there was a storm outside.
Red was scared. Everything he did about killing Aggie was only a dream, but he feared it might come true. He killed her in his dream, similar to how Dark aggie killed him back in Magic Island.
"Oh no. Oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no," Red shook his head and began to sweat, "This... This can't be happening. This won't happen. No, I don't blame Aggie for this. It's not her fault." he then looked himself on the mirror. It's like his reflection telling him to have his revenge on aggie for killing him, "I won't let that happen to her. I won't!"
The red bird cringed in panic. He tried to figure something out to prevent aggie from getting her hurt.. or killed. He can't go back to bed right now. He can't have that nightmare again. He got to do something.
The next morning, in Bird Village, Aggie came out from the green portal, and closed it while having a video chat on her phone with her two friends.
"So, you and Chief break up? Penfold questioned.
"And... just to let you know, he broke up with me," Aggie clarified.
"What?!" The hamster gasped.
"Yeah, I called her this morning, and I told her what I want to say," Danger Mouse confessed
"So, are you going to be alright?" Penfold asked his best friend.
"Well, I'm a little bumped, but I realized that Aggie still loves Red more than me. She's not very good of hiding it," the agent mouse admitted.
"I'm so happy, DM. I can't believe you took it well," Aggie laughed.
"I remember a wise old saying, 'If you love someone, set him or her free'. It was cheesy, but I did it, and I learned from you."
"Wow, Aggie, you really are a Friendship Teacher," Penfold told Aggie, then back to Danger Mouse, "So, Chief, what are you doing now that you're single?'
"Eh, I might as well enjoy my single life for now. don't worry, Aggie and I are still good friends," the white mouse said.
"Thanks, you guys," Aggie smiled
"I really hope you and Red are happy together. If he hurts yo again, oh, he's gonna get it!"
"Don't worry, Danger Mouse, I can handle it," Suddenly, Aggie noticed something happened at Red's house, "I'll call you back," she told her friends before hanging up. She rushed towards Chuck, Bomb and Silver, who kept knocking on Red's door, "Guys, what's going on?"
"It's Red," Chuck replied, "He was locked in his own house all morning!"
"We tried to get in, but it's stick," Bomb responded
"We also tried to call him, but he didn't answer!" Silver added
"Let me try," Aggie volunteered as the three other birds moved aside, and she knocked on the door, "Red!"
Inside, Red barred his doors and windows so no one would get in. While he do that, he heard Aggie's voice through the door.
"Red, is everything okay in there?" She called
"It's Aggie," Red continued to add more ply wood on his door, and nailed them tightly. "No! she won't get it. She won't get near me... I don't want to kill her."
When Red didn't answer, Aggie has an idea, "Okay, guys. I know how to get inside. I'll go inside to talk to Red, while you three stay here, and keep an eye on the door."
Chuck, Bomb and Silver nodded as Aggie went to the right side of the house, and casted a spell in her mind, making her figure transparent. She normally walked through the walls as she tried, and it worked!
She made it inside the house as she went to search for Red.
Red want to the kitchen and grabbed a knife. He couldn't hold this pain any longer. He felt very guilty for Aggie's misery, he was the reason why she was so hurt. He hurt her, he broke her heart, he betrayed her, and now, his dream told him to kill for killing him. He doesn't want to do that for Aggie. He loves her so much, and as long as he's around , she won't move on from pain unless...
This is how it goes. Red used to attempt to do this before because he thought his life has no purpose... until Aggie showed up in his life. But now, things are different. Now that Aggie was sad and miserable because of him, he's going to end it.
When he was about to saw his wrist with a knife, Aggie arrived outside of his kitchen, seeing her sitting down on the floor, but she didn't see the knife he was holding.
"Red?" She called
"Aggie!" Red gasped as he hid the knife behind his back, "How did you get in here?"
"I used the Transparent Spell to get through the walls."
"Aggie, please You have to get out?"
"Why? Red, is there something wrong?" Aggie then entered the kitchen, approaching Red, "If there's something wrong, you can tell me."
"Please, Ags, get away from me!" Red tried to take a step back, but there was nowhere to go since he was leaning on the kitchen counter.
Aggie felt concern for Red as he figured out why he was acting like this, "Red, I think I know what's happening."
"You do?" Red swallowed.
"It's my fault. I kept avoiding you, I kept rejecting you, and you want to stick to that word. Well, I don't want to stick to that, Red." Aggie explained as she continued to walk forward, "Guess what, Red? I'm not dating someone anymore... I think you know who. I've been thinking it over 2 nights ago, and I realized how sad and hurt you are when I don't want to be with you anymore, Red. But... to be honest... I still want to be with you, Red, and... I love you. I still do love you, Red. I don't know why I kept hiding this, but... it is clear, that I don't want to be away from you for too long. I think it's time, I should give you one more chance," She started to tear up when she confessed. She missed Red so much. If ever they get back together again, she wants to hug and kiss him, like old times.
Red was shock to what Aggie just said. Not because she changed her mind and wanted to start all over again with him, but it was almost the same words she said in his dream. It's happening, and Red can't let it happen, "Aggie, I'm begging you, don't come any closer!"
"Red, remember when you told me you're ready to take me back in you life?" the sparrow is closer towards the cardinal as she was about to reach her wing at him, "Well, I'm going to do the same thing."
Red suddenly sobbed as he feared his nightmare is coming true. The wing that held the knife behind his back is shaking. He tried to stop it, but he can't control it. Something is controlling him, but his heart tried to resist of doing something he would regret, "Aggie, no!"
"Red, I'm ready..." When Aggie started, Red partially took out the knife from his back, not before she finished, "To take you back."
Just like in his dream, he was out of control. Out of depression, guilt, fear and misery, Red took out the knife, and began to slash Aggie, leaving knife scratched on both of her wings and across her chest. After that, with no control of himself, Red stabbed Aggie into her chest.
"AH!" The sparrow screamed in pain, which snapped the red bird from his insanity as he gasped for what he had done. His nightmare came true as he watched Aggie groaned in pain and clutched her wound, but tried not to move the knife.
"What-What have I done?" Red shivered in panic
Aggie looked up to Red. She didn't look angry, but there is not time to pint fingers as pleaded with begging teary eyes, "Red, help!"
"Don't worry, Aggie!" Red tried to covered Aggie's wounds to stop the bleeding. That was until some blood squirted out from her chest, and it spread all over Red's wings.
Red paused for a while as he froze in fear when he looked at his bloody wings. These looked exactly how he got his wings all bloody from his dream. But this isn't a dream. This is real blood. He got Aggie's blood all over his wings. This was how Aggie felt when she stabbed him to death. Now, Red was doing the same to her. He couldn't believe he murdered someone. Hurting others out of anger, yes, but murder, no. He never killed or murdered before, until now. This is a first time he killed someone, and that someone is the person he loved. He tried to warn her, he tried to stay away from her, he tried to lock himself in his house so they wouldn't get closer towards each other, but it's not working. his nightmare still came true.
"Red, please, help me!" Aggie cried as she kept wincing in pain.
But seeing aggie like this, Red realized he can't do anything to help Aggie Instead, he just made things worse, and he doesn't want to hurt Aggie anymore. He had done enough.
"I..." Red said doubt.
"Red?" Aggie was confused why he hasn't started helping her yet.
"I'm sorry!" Red cried as he ran towards the door.
"Red?! Wait!" Aggie tried to get up, and chased him, but she was too weak and still in pain as the blood from Aggie's chest created a puddle of blood in front of her knees.
Red managed to remove the plywood from his door since he still have enough strength, kicked the door open, which hit Chuck and Bomb's face while Silver quickly moved aside, and he ran away, trying to hide his wings covered with blood.
Chuck rubbed his face where the door hit him, and saw Red running away, "Red? Where are you going?!"
"AAH!" Silver screamed as she saw something horrible.
When Chuck and Bomb saw it for themselves, they gasped in horror, seeing Aggie clutching her wound while blood kept dropping on the floor. Blood flowed out not only from her chest, but it was newly flowed out from her beak.
Chuck, Bomb and Silver rushed to Aggie's aid as they try not to cause more damage of her.
"Aggie?! What happened?! Who did this to you?!" Chuck asked.
Aggie has enough strength to talk as she answered, "Red... did... this."
"What?" the yellow bird gasped.
"We have to get you to the hospital, cuz!" Bomb slowly lifted aggie with both of his wings as he, Chuck and Silver rushed out of the house to ask for help to get Aggie to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Red kept running out of Bird Village towards the beach, ignoring the birds' greetings in his way.
"Hey, Red!"
"Red, how's it goin'?"
"Where are you going, Red?!"
Red wanted to get out of Bird Island as quickly as he could. He doesn't know where to go. But when he saw the giant slingshot on the beach, he knew now where to go.
When the stretched the elastic, and ready to fly, someone noticed him, about to launch.
"Mommy, why there's red water all over Mr. Red's wings?" the hatchling asked.
The mother bird gasped as she realized that wasn't red water all over Red's wings unless...
Before the mother bird can figure out, Red launched himself away from Bird Island.
While he was in the sky, tears shed from his eyes as he kept remembering what he had done to Aggie. He even looked at his blood-covered wings. He wants to be alone for a while, thinking about his action. He hoped some space will give him time to know what to do next.
Ugh! I almost puke while writing more of the bloody scene! I hope you like this chapter. It's a Halloween theme for this chapter. Sure there are melodramatic, but this has bloody scenes, so I consider this Halloween theme.
