Chapter 8

To Break A Curse

But to shatter ones heart

The final chapter to part 1 of this story

The Scarlet Macaw walked around in the air vent, Blu followed behind him quickly. An anger stirred within him. He just wanted this to be over. He didn't care about Jewel, he didn't care about any of his previous friends or loved ones. The Macaw eyed Blu in the corner of his eye, making sure he didn't try anything funny. He still held the black device in his wing. They couldn't both fly in the air vent so they had to walk through it and it was starting to get awkward. Silence filled the air, the only sound was the sound of the birds talons walking against the air vent. Blu began to whistle to break the silence. The Scarlet Macaw noticed this and stopped in his tracks. Blu stared at the back of the Scarlet Macaws head in confusion. The Scarlet Macaw turned around and looked at Blu with a kind of angry expression.

"What are you doing," the Macaw asked Blu, starring him in the eye. Blu looked at the Scarlet Macaw with an even more confused look now. Blu stopped whistling as he answered the Macaws question.

"I'm whistling," Blu explained "ever heard of it?" The Scarlet Macaws face became more angrier.

"Of course I've heard of it," the scarlet macaw said to Blu, trying not to sound stupid "but why are you whistling now," the Macaw asked Blu. Blu knew the actual reason of why he did it.

"Because it sounds nice." Blu began to whistle again to show an example. The Scarlet Macaw rolled his eyes at Blu, showing that he was tired of it. But that didn't make Blu stop.

"Just be queit," the Scarlet Macaw said to Blu "I wanna see the surprised look on Jewels face when she sees you and I'll be watching in the distance." A smile spread across Blus face as he heard these words come out of the Macaws beak.

"you wanna know something," Blu said as he leaned against the wall of the air vent " I always hated Jewel." The scarlet Macaw stared at Blu with a concerned look. "She always talked about freedom as if she knows what freedom is," Blu told the Scarlet Macaw. The Macaw smiled at Blu.

"well soon you won't have to worry about her," He told Blu. Blu forced a short ans small laugh as he pushed himself off the wall of the air vent. He walked pass the Scarlet Macaw, bumping into him a little.

"yeah, I'm glad."

Blu walked ahead of the macaw but quickly stopped when they both noticed a gap of light shine through the vent. Blu looked though it and saw the main center of the facility, where all the birds were. But Tulio was no where to be seen, there were only his workers in there. But it's not like Blu cared.

"it looks like somone teared through it," the Scarlet Macaw said to Blu. Blu nodded, he didn't care about who teared though it. He just cared about what they left behind. Blu leaned over and picked up a sharp piece of metal off the floor of the air vent with his wing. this metal was the same shape as the gap in the wall of the air vent. A vicious smile spread across Blus face as he gripped this piece of sharp metal, causing blood to run down the blade as it cut deep into Blus wing. His smile deepened.

"This will be the weapon I use to kill her," Blu said to himself " and i will enjoy every second of it."

"I'm sure he'll be back soon," Tulio told Linda as she creid heavily. Linda wiped the tears away that ran down her face. "I don't think it woukd have been smugglers, I have hired more gaurds and we've been on high security, maybe he just went away for a little bit." Linda stopped facing the ground of the breeding chamber and looked up at Tulio.

"Then why didn't he bring Jewel with him!" Tulio avoided Lindas stern gaze.

"Look, I'm sure he'll be back soon," Tulio said to Linda, trying to calm her. Linda wioed the tears away from her eyes.

"I hope your right Tulio," Linda told him. Tulio forced a smile and put his arm around Linda as they both began to walk to the exit of the breeding chamber.

"I wonder how Jewel feels," Linda thought to herself.

#

"It's been 2 days since Blu has disappeared, will he ever be back, It's not like him to leave all of the sudden" Jewel thought to herself as she creid in her nest.

"something happened to him I just know it." Jewel then thought back to the time when Blu had told her something.

"I don't want to hurt you," Blu had told Jewel as he creid. His wings wrapped around her

"I just know it," Jewel told herself. "Am I going to have to raise the kids by myself." Jewels asked herself many questions. But the question she asked the most was where is Blu. "Maybe I should ask Rafael he might know," Jewel said. But she just coudn't stop crying and she didn't want anyone to see her like this. But suddenly the sound of leaves rustling outside the hollow was brought to her attention. Jewel really wanted to think it was Blu but her hopes weren't that high. She opened her eyes and looked up. Greeted by nothingness. The sound of leaves rustling broke the silence once again. This time Jewel thought it might actaully be something or somone. She wiped the tears off her face as she began to slowly work herself out of her nest. The eggs inside Jewels were starting to get bigger so she coudn't move that fast. The rustling of leaves became louder, this caused Jewel to move a little faster. When Jewel finally made it to her talons, she began to walk to the exit of the hollow. She wrapped her wings around her stomach as she approached the exit of the hollow. The light shined in through the hollow, shooting into her eyes. Jewels talon stepped out of the hollow and onto the branch outside of it. Jewel stepped out onto the branch as the light washed over her. Suddenly a big impact on the branch made it shake up and down, causing Jewel to close her eyes in fear and hold her wings up in front of her as if somone was going to attack her. But no one attacked her. Jewel let out a sigh of relief and opened her eyes. But her beak dropped in shock when she realized who it was.

"Blu?" Jewel put her wings down by her side. A smile spread across Jewels face but she was also angry " Blu were have you be-" Jewel stopped when she noticed something irregular about Blu. Blu stared at the branch, hiding his face. The first thing that Jewel noticed was the blood red soaked feathers on his wing. The blade he held in his hand dripped blood. Jewel also noticed the evil smile that spread across his face. Jewels smile quickly faded into a concern look for the bird she loved.

"Blu," Jewel said in a more concerned voice. Blu looked up and stared at Jewel. Jewels eyes widened in fear. She covered her beak with her wing. Blus eyed took Jewels attention. His eyes were no longer a chocolate brown, they were now a dark, demonic red. Jewel knew. When Blu stared into Jewels eyes, he felt a wave of memories come back to him. There were bad memories but most of them were good memories. BLU WOUDN'T ALLOW JEWEL TO GIVE HIM HAPPINESS. Blu chuckled to himself.

"Blu?" He said to Jewel. He noticed the concerned look on her face "Blu's dead." Jewel stared in a more frightened look at Blu now. She knew it was Blu. It didn't matter the way he acted, it didn't matter if his eyes were a different color. Jewel could tell that this was the love of her life.

"Who did this to you Blu," Jewel asked the Male Spix Macaw, the bird she loved. Blus smile quickly faded and an angry expression began to grow on his face.

"What do you mean what happened to me," Blu thought to himself " I've always wanted to kill you, I've always wanted to kill. I've never loved you." But Blus smile quickly came back as he thought of this. Blu stared at Jewel. There was something about staring at Jewel that brought out happiness within him, so Blu tried to avoid looking at Jewel.

"You think I ever liked you Jewel." These words broke Jewels heart.But. She tried to keep her heart together. This wasn't Blu who was speaking to her. But it was Blu who was standing in front of her. This hurt Blu to say these words. This hurt Blu to look at Jewels heart broken expression. NO IT DIDN'T HURT BLU. HE LOVED IT. Blu clenched his eyes shut as the to sides fought against eachother. "I never liked you and I never loved you," Blu said to Jewel furiously.

"Blu this isn't you!" Jewels screamed at Blu.

"YOU NEVER KNEW ME!" Blu screamed back. Making Jewel jump back a little. He noticed that Jewel began to cry. Blu felt tears began to form in his eyes. This hurt him. HE LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT.

"I know that you love me," Jewel said to Blu, steping closer to him. Jewel stared into Blus eyes and noticed something different. The red in his eyes began to fade away. This didn't last long before the red came back again.

"I. Never. loved. You." Jewel stared into Blus red eyes.

"I know you're still in there Blu." Blu began to fight with himself. The 2 sides within him struggled. He clenched the blade in his wing even harder, causing it to cut Into him deeper.

"I'm sorry Jewel," Blu said to Jewel "NO, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU!" Blu pointed the blade covered in blood at Jewel. "When this is over you will be dead." Blu charged over to Jewel, pointing his blade at her.

"You have to stop, this isn't you," a voice said within him.

"SHE HAS TO DIE," another voice fought.

"Are you okay with this."

"IT DEOS NOT MATTER." Blu was a few inches away from Jewels throat when he stopped to Jewels silent singing.

"What is love if it's not with you, I know when your alone you feel it to. In your arms is where I long to be, Cause being with you gives me sanity. Listen to me darlin', I wake up every mornin' thinking about the way you feel. I wonder if you know it, And what good is a party if your not around, listen to me now." Jewel had her eyes close when she saw Blu charge towards her but she noticed she was singing. She thought she was dead. But when she opened her eyes, she saw Blu on his knees, in front of her. Jewel dropped to her knees aswell and noticed that Blus eyes were closed shut. This was her moment. She pulled Blu into a passionate kiss.

"No, I wasn't okay. I don't think I'll ever be okay after what I said to Jewel," Blu thought to himself "I don't think I'll ever be able to forgive myself. But I'll try. Somewhere inside me I can still feel something good." Blu wrapped his wings around Jewel. Jewel broke off the kiss and stared into Blu's eyes. She smiled as she realized that they were the soft chocolate brown that they were before. The blade fell out of Blus wing and down underneath the both of them. Falling as it got closer to the ground. But Blu quickly began to gag. He turned away from Jewel and threw up over the branch. He threw up a purple glowing substance. This burned Blus throat. In a few seconds he stopped throwing up and wiped his wing across his beak. He stared back at Jewel.

"I geuss you don't want to kiss me anymore." Blu laughed a little. Jewels smile deepened. "I'm sorry Jewel, for everything." Jewel hugged Blu again but Blu quickly stopped hugging Jewel. "Somone captured me and they also brainwashed Rafael, like he did to me. And he's here." Jewel stared at Blu with a confuse look.

"What?" The sound of somone landing on the branch made Blu look backwards. Jewel already stared behind Blu so she saw who landed on the branch. A Scarlet Macaw landed on the other side of the branch with the familiar blood covered blade in his wingthat Blu had held before. Jewel stared at the Scarlet Macaw on the other side of the branch with a confused look. She swore that she recognized this bird. Blu stared at the Scarlet Macaw in fear. He didn't want him to hurt Jewel. Jewel got up off her knees and onto her talons.

"Who are you," Jewel asked the stranger. The scarlet Macaw made a sarcastic frown.

"Oh Jewel, you don't remember me?" Jewel scanned the Macaw up and down. She recognized this bird, she just coudn't put her wing on it.

"I recognize you Jewel said." The Scarlet Macaw made an evil smile.

"So you do remember me. That's a relief because I remember you." Jewel looked at the Macaw with a confused look. But in mere seconds. She figured it out. Her heart stopped beating. She stumbled back a little bit as the memories came back to her.

"No it's not him, it can't be him," Jewel thought to herself. Blu looked back at Jewel with a scared expression.

"You don't actually no this bird, do you?" Jewel didn't answer Blus question. She just stared at the Scarlet Macaw in horror.

"It's you," Jewel choked out. Blu still looked at Jewel with frightened expression.

"Who is this," Blu asked Jewel, stepping up onto his talons.

"Blu, h-h-he took control of me," Jewel choked out. Blu looked back Jewel with confused look.

"What, what did he do to you?" The horrible memories from many years ago filled Jewels brain. She clenched her eyes closed.

"He raped me." Blu was stunned by these words. He was no longer frightened. He clenched his wing into a fist.

"I promised I woudn't let anyone hurt Jewel," Blu thought to himself. "I broke my promise"

"Do you think you deserve Jewel," another voice inside Blus head asked him in a calm tone.

"No I don't think I deserve Jewel," Blu responded to the voice in his head. "Whem this is over I'll make sure this bird is dead." Blu walked over to Jewel. He hugged her. Blu began to cry. He didn't bother to wipe it away.

"I'm sorry Jewel," Blu said over Jewels shoulder.

"Sorry for what." Blu didn't answer Jewels question. He stopped hugging Jewel. He turned his head to the Scarlet Macaw.

"You're gonna pay for hurting Jewel." A smile spread across the Scarlet Macaws face.

"I see the potion didn't last long. That's okay because you were gonna kill Jewel, that's not what I asked. It's okay though. Jewel will be traumatized whenever I kill you in front of her." More tears ran down Blus face. Blu dropped to his fighting stance. This was going to be a difficult fight because the branch wasn't that wide. The Scarlet Macaw pointed the blade at Blu. He charged towards him. Blu prepared for the blade to hit his head. Right when it was about to Blu ducked under that blade and attempted to strike the Scarlet Macaw in the stomach. But he stepped back. Blu quickly tried to get back up straight. But the scarlet Macaw grabbed his head an kneed Blu in the forehead, causing him to stumble backwards. Blu got up straight but coudn't defend himself fast enough from the birds next attack. He sliced the blade across Blus stomach. Blus eyes widened in horror. He covered his stomach with his wings. Trying to stop the bleeding. The blood soaked through his feathers, the bleeding wouldn't stop. He dropped to his knees in front of the Scarlet Macaw. He quickly heard steps rushing from behind him, he knew this was Jewel.

"JEWEL!" Blu screamed at her. This caused Jewel to stop in her tracks. Jewel was running to help the bird she loved. But blu didn't want to be saved by Jewel. Blu coudn't allow Jewel to get hurt again by this bird. "It's fine." Jewel stared at Blu in horror. Blu slowly got back up onto his talons. The blood dripped onto the branch. The Scarlet Macaw laughed at Blu as he got up to his talons.

"Face it, you've lost." Blu coughed up blood onto the branch. He forced a sly smile at the Scarlet Macaw. He wiped the blood of his beak, soaking his feathers with even more blood.

"I may have lost the battle, but I won't lose the war!" Blu wrapped his wings around the Scarlet Macaw and squeezed him tightly, making him unable to fly.

"What are you doing," the Scarlet Macaw asked him with a confused tone. But Jewel stared in horror at Blu. She knew what he was going to do. Blu turned his head sideways, allowing jewel to see his smile.

"Blu no," Jewel bagged Blu. Blu turned his head away from Blu. Jewel coudn't stop him. Blu threw himself and the Scarlet Macaw that he held off the branch as they fell to the ground below. Blu held the Scarlet Macaw underneath him so he would hit the ground first.

You're crazy," the Scarlet Macaw told Blu as they approached closer to the ground.

"And what's so wrong with that," Blu said as he smiled at the Scarlet Macaw.

"BLU!" Blu heard the scream of Jewel above him.

"Are you okay with this," the familiar voice asked Blu "leaving Jewel alone."

"As long as she's safe," Blu responded to the voice.

"Remember when you first met Jewel," the voice asked him. It brought Blu happiness to think about this memory.

"How coudn't I," Blu responded to the voice in his head. "It was the best moment of my life. You know, I woudn't admit it to myself but I fell in love with Jewel right at that moment."

" I can't say the same for her though," the voice responded. Blu chuckled a little bit.

"Yeah, true." Blu admitted.

"But at the samba club, that's where she fell In love with you," the voice told him.

"That's where we almost kissed." The voice went silent for a little bit.

"Will you miss Linda," the voice asked Blu. Blu thought about it carefully.

"Of course I'm going to miss her, and I think she's going to miss me."

"You know you might never see her or Jewel ever again," the voice warned Blu. Blu took these words seriously.

"I know."

"So, are you okay with this." Blu looked up at Jewels horror filled face as he fell closer to the ground. This filled him with dread. He held tightly onto the Scarlet Macaw, making sure he woudn't escape.

"Do you think I'm doing the right thing," Blu asked the voice with a serious tone.

"I think you're crazy." A smile spread across Blus face.

"Yeah, I'm okay with this." The voice went silent and left Blu alone with the Scarlet Macaw. The Scarlet Macaw panicked as he realized what was about to happen to him. Blu shut his eyes closed, he knew what was going to happen next, and he coudn't stop it.

"Jewel, you really are something to fight for."
