Chapter 12

Appoligizing

Darkness surounded Blu, he was confused. Where was he. Blu thought that he was In Dreamworld, not anymore apperently. What shit was Blu getting himself into. Something didn't feel right. He could feel something within him, It didn't feel like him. But it was acting like it was part of Blu. Like it installed itself inside Blus brain. What was this feeling? It didn't feel good, But it didn't feel bad either. Whatever was inside him carried great power. He could feel the darkness within it. It coursed through his veins like blood, his heart pumped it throughout his body. Blu liked this feeling, but he knew that this wasn't him. What was this monster inside him? The world around Blu was dark, pure darkness. Everything that surounded him was darkness It was almost like this was his home, but it coudn't be. But something inside him told Blu that this is where he belonged. Blu woudn't allow this thing to trick him. Blu's body began to grow in heat. He held out his wings and stared at them. His eyes widened in horror. A light purple substance coursed through his veins. It felt amazing. Blu watched his gunshot wound heal in mere seconds. The purple substance glowed bright like the moon. Blu felt it corse through his body. He felt like he was unstobible. Maybe this was where he belonged.

"Finally," Blu said to himself "Home atlast."

Blu woke up were he was origanilly. In a chair with his arm wrapped in the cloth of Jewel's dress. Blu thought that she was still pissed at him for that and it upset him a little bit. But now his left talon was wrapped up with a different sort of cloth because the female Hawk had shot him to prove a point that she didn't give a shit. the gunshot wound on his talon hurt even more than the one on his wing. It stingged so bad. Blu's talons rested on the office table in front of him. Rafael and Eva sat in a tabled behind him towards the left corner of the room. Both of thier guns rested on the table. Jewel sat in a chair next to him. she crossed her wings together with an angry expression across her face. Blu coudn't believe what trouble he had gotten her into. The Hawk sat in a chair on the opposite side of the table that Blu rested his talons on. Blu noticed that The Hawk wore a black suit with a black tie, this kid of made her look like a guy.

Blu let out a defeated sigh, he just hoped that he didn't get shot again.

"Blu I know I am the cop and i swear i eoukd have arrested her or something, but when i comes to you, you're kind of a dick," Rafael told Blu from behind him.

"Rafeal, she shot me in the talon. The thing I need to walk. Now I'm going to be walking around and people are going to think I'm stupid," Blu told him with an angry tone.

"So let me get this straight," The hawk started "You are a private detective and your partner got murdered by some bird and you don't know why?" Blu nodded his head in response. A smile spread across the Hawks face. "Ok, then I think I can make a deal with you," the hawk said. The Hawk's office was actually another floor higher than Blu's. so her room was actually higher than Blu's. Isn't that crazy! Well atleast Blu thought it was crazy. Blu stared at the Hawk, waiting for her to tell him what deal she had to offer him. "I need you to do something for me, not that long ago after the explosion. One of my trucks was reported stolen by some bird. The officer told me that he saw the truck heading towards the shore, by the docks. If you don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about by the beach, you know the ocean. I need you 2 birds to go and check what's happening, and why they would need to steal my truck." A confused look spread across Blu's face as the Hawk said this.

"Do you see me, I'm a mess," Blu told the Hawk as his confused expression became an angry expression "how do you expect me to do that," Blu asked the Hawk.

"Your wing and your talon still works, it's just going to hurt more then regular," the Hawk informed Blu. She then reached her wing into her pocket. She rumeged her wing wround in her pocket, trying to find something. When she found what she was looking for, she pulled it out of her pocket and dropped it on the desk. It landed in front of the 2 birds. Blu and Jewel noticed that this was a car key. It had a unlock button on it and a lock button on it. "Blu, since it would be a trouble for you to fly right now because of the gunshot wound in your wing, take my car," the hawk said as she smiled at Blu. Blu didn't grab the key to the car just yet.

"What do i get in return," Blu asked the Hawk. I mean that was the point of a deal, for both of them to benefit. Well most of the time that's how it worked. The Hawk sighed at Blu.

"If you get me my truck back I'll help you find out who murdered your partner." This was enough to convince Blu. He leaned towards slowly as he reached his wing towards the car key. But all of the sudden, Jewel reached her wing out quickly and grabbed the car keys before Blu could grab them. Blu looked back at Jewel, she held the keys infront of Blu. Jewel smiled at Blu and put her wing on his shoulder.

"I'll drive."

The sound of the wind speeding passed the car was the only sound that hit Blu's eardrums. He let out a sigh as he leaned against the door of the car. The hard surface of the car door was uncomfortable, but Blu didn't really care about that. What he did care about was apoligizing to Jewel for being a dick. Blu turned her gaze off the road for a second when Blu sighed. She held the steering wheel tightly with her 2 wings. She saw that Blu looked upset, he looked out the window so he didn't notice that Jewel had turned her hesd to look at Blu, something was bugging Blu she just knew it. Maybe it was because his partner was dead and that he had to do all this stupid shit to get help to find his killer. Jewel quickly turned her head back to the road. They weren't that far from the shore, It was just a long, straight road to get there.

"What's wrong Blu," Jewel asked Blu as she still kept a lookout on the road, you never know what can happen when you look away from the road. Blu turned his head away from the window when he heard Jewel talk. He let out a defeated sigh. Blu tried to think of something that wasn't wrong right now, but then again, what wasn't wrong right now.

"Jewel," Blu said, This surprised Jewel when Blu said this. Jewel now knew that whatever bothered Blu had something that was involved with her.

"Yeah," Jewel responded to Blu. Blu stopped leaning against the door and sat up straight.

"I'm really sorry," He told Jewel with a serious tone. Jewel's eyes widened with a surprise.

"For what," Jewel asked. Blu scooched closer to Jewel.

"For just being a major dickhead, I shoudn't have said that you wanted to have sex, which you didn't. I shoudn't have ruined your beautiful dress that probably cost you a decent amount of money, I'll pay you back for that drees. And i have just been an overall Douchebag." Jewel had never heard such sweet words come out of Blu's mouth. Even though she hadn't known him for long, they already went trough alot together. And Jewel could tell by the way that Blu act, he wasn't really the nicest bird and he didn't like taking orders from other birds. But he did stand up from himself and Jewel kind of found that attractive about Blu. Plus he can be nice, and Jewel knew that deep down he cared about everyone, or else he woudn't have apoligized to her. And he woudn't have cared that his partner got killed.

"I accept your apoligy," Jewel told Blu. A surprised look spread across his face.

"You do, actually?" Jewel nodded ber head in response

"we were both drunk anyways," Jewel reminded Blu. Blu nodded his head as he scratched the side of his face.

"yeah, I geuss we were, now I wish I didn't get drunk," Blu told himself. Jewel nodded her head once again.

"Me to, But why did we even go up to your room," Jewel asked Blu. Blu laughed a little after Jewel asked him this.

"I honestly don't know," Blu said as he laughed nervously. Blu saw that a smile spread across Jewel's beak. Blu swallowed a large lump forming in the back of his throat.

"Honestly," Jewel said back to him a sarcastic tone. Jewel knew what Blu thought was going to happen. Blu laughed again nervously.

"Okay, mostly honest," Blu said in a thruthful tone. Jewels smile deepened as she heard Blu say this.

"that's what I thought," Jewel said in a accomplished tone. Blu let out sad sigh, Blu was still upset that he had to do all this stuff to get help to find out eho killed his partner. "Blu, you've sent through alot in one day, Well it's not really day anymore it's like 12:30 Am. But, Blu if you need anything just ask me, ok," Jewel said to Blu. A smile spread across Blu's face as Jewel said this.

"Anything," Blu said, trying to make Jewel repeat the same word or something simillar to it.

"yea I geuss so," Jewel responded to Blu. Blu laughed a little, he was excited to see what Jewel's response would be when he said this. Blu rested his good wing on Jewel's shoulder.

"take off the top of your dress." A confused look spread across Jewel's face, she kept her eyes on the road.

"Really Blu?" Blu chuckled a little as Jewel said this. Jewel actually thought that this was want he wanted her to do for him.

"No not really," Blu said. Jewel noticed that Blu was laughing. Jewel smiled as she realized that Blu felt a little better now.

"Good, because i wasn't going to do it anyways," Jewel told Blu. Blu pointed an accusing wing at Jewel.

"So you're a liar," Blu accused Jewel. Jewel shook her head and let out a sigh.

"No, It's just. I'm not doing that while I'm drving. Also when we get there you better start taking things seriously. Anything could happen." Blu nodded in respons, but he thought that Jewel didn't see him.

"She told us that the truck had a big container on it and the whole thing was white. So all we have to do is find a white truck." Jewel laughed sarcasticlly when Blu finished saying this.

"You make it sound so simple." Jewel slowed down the car as they approached thier destination. Blu's expression became worried, he inhaled deeply.

"Do you even think that the Hawk will help me find out who killed my partner," Blu asked Jewel with a serious tone in his voice.

"Even if she deosn't help us, I'll help you find out who killed your partner. I'm sure both the Toucans will help you to, they seem nice." Blu stared back out the window. he coudn't really see anything, do to the darkness. The only light source was the moon.

"Yea, they are good friends," Blu told Jewel. Jewel smiled at Blu, she knew that he cared about some birds

"Im sure eveything will be fine," Jewel said, trying to make Blu feel better. Blu nodded weakly, It's almost like he didn't believe Jewel. Jewel slowed the truck down beside the road next to a grassy area on a hill. She put the car into park and and took the key out of the ignition. This hill was by the side of the road, there was no more road pass this hill. There was just a dirt path which lead to the docks. There was a huge empty spot on the docks, this was where they would put the carnival during the summer, but it wasn't the summer right now. It was the middle of spring. So it sucked that it had been raining. the dirt path went downhill after the road ended. Sometimes cars parked on the dock, but it was illegal to do this and it wasn't safe. Jewel chose to park here because it would have been to noisy to park by the docks and somone could already be there. This hill had a great overlook on the dock so Jewel and Blu could spy on anyone who was on the dock. The dock also had another entry on a road on the other side of the hill, the hill sat in the middle of both the entrys. They could also be used as exits. But however, the road that Blu and Jewel came in through was just a straight road to the docks. They didn't take the other road because that road would have lead them to middle of the city, where there would have been traffic. No matter what time it was in the day or night. It would have taken them longer to get to the docks. Also if they needed to leave urgently then the other road woudn't have worked because of the traffic. But the road that they had taken was just a road, surrounded by trees with rarely no traffic. I mean now the other road was surronded by trees sense both of the roads lead to the same area. but that road also lead to the city and here. But the road that Blu and Jewel had taken just lead to the docks and the whole road was surrounded by trees that lead to the unkown.

The car made a shutting down sound when Jewel took the keys out of the ignition. Jewel pushed the car door open with her 2 wings. She stepped out and landed on the side of the road. Jewel shut the car door behind her gently, trying not ti attract any attention. Suddenly Jewel remembered that Blu would probably have trouble getting out of the car, do to his injured wing and talon. Blu still sat inside the car, preparing to open the car door. He used his good wing to push open the car door. He could have used both wings, but he thought that it would hurt his injured wing to much to do anything with it. As Blu was opening the car door, he saw Jewel through the window waiting for him. Blu pushed the car door open all the way, the cold breeze flew into his face.

"You need any help Blu," Jewel asked him. She knew that he probably did need help, but would he admit it.

"No, I'm fine," Blu lied to Jewel, He didn't want to look helpless in front of her. Blu inhaled deeply as he began to come down from the sewt and onto the ground. Jewel noticed that Blu was struggling. Blu dropped from his the car seat and onto the ground. He clenched his teeth together as his injured talon hit the ground. A wave of shock and pain washed through his body. It hurt so much. Blu quickly dropped to his knees after his talons made impact with ground. He moaned in pain. Blu still thought that he deserved this for being a dick. Blu on the other hand, didn't think he deserved any of this. Jewel wrapped her wings around Vlu and brought him up to his talons. Jewel then put Blu's wings around her neck to help him walk easier. Blu leaned up against Jewel. Jewel wrappee her wing aroumd Blu's waist. Blu turned his head towards Jewel's, but already found her looking at him.

"Blu," Jewel started "It's always okay to ask for help."
