Chapter 14

Miss-undertood deal

Another bullet passed by Blu's head. He could feel the momentum of the bullet move the feathers on his head. Blu took a second to realize the situation, someone had just shot the bird he loved in the stomach. Blu looked down at Jewel who laid down lifelessly. Her dress was soaked with blood, Blu really owed her a new one now. Blu thought that the person who was shooting at him was the person that shot Blu. Blu stopped focusing on Jewel and looked at the front of the truck, The familiar white cockatoo was leaning out the passenger window of the truck.

"It's all mt fault," Blu thought to himself "I got her into this." Blu stared back down at Jewel, But notice something different about her. Her left eye was now open, starring at Blu. Jewel moved her wing to her gunshot wound, she was still taking in what happened. Jewel looked at Blu with a scared stare, Blu couldn't blame her. He was scared to. Jewel struggled to keep her eye open. Blu tried to smile at Jewel to make her calm down, but he couldn't calm down himself. "Jewel, everything is going to be okay," Blu said to Jewel, Blu dropped to his knees. He wrapped his wings around Jewel's blood-soaked dress, holding her tightly. Jewel stared into Blu's chocolate brown eyes. Staring into Blu's eyes calmed her down a little bit. Knowing that she would die next to Blu calmed her down a little bit. Jewel forced a smile at Blu, but Blu couldn't smile back at her. Blu inhaled and exhaled quickly, he knew everything wasn't going to be okay. Blu grabbed Jewel's wing and held it tightly. Blu then used his injured wing to put pressure on Jewel's wound that blood still exited from. Jewel cringed as Blu did this.

"Blu," Jewel said, trying to tell him something. But she couldn't find the energy within herself to tell him what she really had to say to him. Blu shook her head at Jewel.

"No Jewel, you don't have to say anything to me," Blu told Jewel. He didn't want Jewel to waste her strength to try and tell him something. Jewel wrapped her wings around Blu's neck slowly, she still smiled at him. Blu was surprised when he noticed that Jewel was bringing his face closer to hers. A loud gunshot echoed throughout the early morning sky. The truck still drove towards the unknown destination. Jewel's forced smile quickly faded as she heard this sound. Blu's face became shocked as the pain settled in. Blu already knew what had happened. Blu felt a cold substance soak his stomach feathers. He looked down at himself to be met with a dark red substance. He didn't bother to try and stop the bleeding with his wing. Blu's face filled with horror as he realized the Blu just got shot. Blu felt himself starting to slip away from reality. His vision became black as he stared down at Jewel. Blu wrapped his wings around Jewel tighter as his vision was absorbed by the darkness. Jewel pulled Blu into a passionate kiss as they both bled out. But Blu wasn't awake to even realized that Jewel had kissed him.

"Go faster," The Cockatoo yelled to whoever was driving the truck. The driver did as he was told and sped up the truck. Blu and Jewel began to roll off the top of the truck. The Cockatoo cracked an evil smile when he saw the 2 Spix Macaws covered in Blood as they rolled off the top of the truck and fall to the road beneath them. Jewel was still awake to realize what was happening. She realized that Blu and she had failed there mission. She realized that Blu and she wouldn't be saving anyone, she realized this as she and Blu fell closer to the road. Jewel cried as she looked at Blu's lifeless face, soon they would both be dead. She hugged Blu tightly. Jewel was happy that she had shared that bottle of Scotch with Blu, she just wished it didn't have to end this way. But before Jewel hit the road, She could have sworn she saw Blu's veins glow a light purple.

Blu was met again with the familiar darkness, he was desperate, But was he dead? Blu didn't know what to do. He thought Jewel was dead and he thought that he was dead to. But then why was he here. It looked like he visited this place before. He could feel it inside him, or something felt it inside him. Blu felt the familiar darkness inside of him, but it didn't feel the same this time. It felt like it was hurt because Blu was hurt. Blu dropped to his knees desperately. He stared up into the darkness, it seemed to never end. Maybe this darkness inside him could be good sometimes.

"I don't know what to do," Blu said to the darkness that surrounded him. It was almost like the darkness felt his pain. But that darkness handled it better than Blu did. Blu felt the darkness grow bigger inside him.

"I can help you," A voice told Blu, Blu felt like this voice was coming from within him. "I can heal you and Jewel, but you will have to accept me as part of you," The voice tried to agree with Blu. Blu looked further into the darkness as he heard this voice, but he couldn't see anyone who could have talked to him.

"Who are you," Blu found himself asking. The voice went silent for a few seconds before answering Blu's question.

"I'm the dark side of you," The darkness responded to Blu

"Where am I," Blu asked immediately after he asked the first question

"We're in the dark part of your brain," The voice responded quickly to Blu's question. Blu asked himself a couple of questions.

"Am I dead, is Jewel dead and can this thing actually help me?" Blu Could Blu trust this thing that lived inside of him. Blu wondered if this thing could actually heal people, but why would it want to heal him and Jewel.

"can you actually heal me and Jewel," Blu asked the darkness inside of him.

"Just think of it as a gift for letting me be a piece of you," The voice said to Blu.

"What do you mean by, letting me be a piece of you," Blu asked in confusion. But the voice didn't answer him this time. The darkness slowly began to turn lighter and lighter, it was starting to become so light that it was hurting his eyes. All of a sudden he heard a voice calling out to him, it was the voice of a female.

"Blu." This voice sounded concerned when Blu heard it. Blu recognized this voice

Blu! Wake up," Jewel stood over Blu as she yelled at Him. Blu's eyes sprung open in surprise as he heard this voice, a happy expression spread across Jewel's face as she saw Blu open his eyes. Blu sat in a Hospital bed with a bunch of tubes and wires sticking into him. Blu didn't feel so good, He could feel something inside him taking over his brain. Jewel leaned over and hugged Blu tightly, Jewel was happy that Blu was okay. Well, he seemed okay on the outside. "Blu I'm so glad that you're okay," Jewel said in a happy tone. Blu accepted Jewel's hug, he wrapped his wings around Jewel and hugged her. But she quickly stopped hugging Blu and stood up straight. Blu noticed that Jewel know had a confused look on her face now. "But come to think of it, how are we okay," Jewel started "You got shot and I got shot and then we fell off a truck," Jewel screamed for some reason. She then looked down at her stomach, she rubbed her wing over it. "How Am I all of a sudden, not injured at all." Blu examined the room that he was in. Blu glanced over to his left to see another Hospital bed not that far from the one that he laid in. Blu thought that this was the bed that Jewel was sleeping in. Blu guessed that Jewel had wakened up shortly before she woke him up. Blu looked over to his right to see a door, Blu guessed that this door leads out to a hallway or somewhere. Blu then looked down at himself, a surprised look spread across his face. Not about what was there, but about what wasn't there. Jewel was right. Blu wasn't injured at all. None of his previous injuries were there, all of them were gone. Blu looked back up at Jewel, her confused look still stood on her face. Blu thought that Jewel was waiting for him to answer his question. Blu thought that Jewel was probably waiting for him to answer her question. Obviously, Jewel didn't think that Jewel would actually know, but Blu had the slightest idea of how she could have got healed all of the sudden. Blu forgot about the world he was in for a second and dozed off into his memory. He thought the conversation he had with the voice that actually, come to think of it. Kinda sounded like him. He thought about the conversation he had with the voice. He thought about the question that he asked the voice.

"Can you actually heal me and Jewel," Blu had asked the voice. Blu doubted the voice at first, but after seeing him and Jewel not injured at all, Blu wondered if the voice had actually healed them. But how. How did this thing do the impossible? Blu slowly faded back into the real world. He noticed that Blu was still staring at him. "What's going on Blu," Jewel asked. Blu suddenly felt a wave of nausea wash through his body. He felt something begin to rise up his throat. It burned Blu's throat. It felt like his throat was being set on fire. Blu didn't answer Jewel's question. Blu quickly and forcefully pulled out the tube that stuck into his left-wing. These tubes transferred some kind of clear substance into his veins. Blu didn't know what this substance was, but he didn't care. He pulled the tube out of his left-wing, he used his beak to do this. He moaned in pain as he pulled the tube out of his wing. Slowly but surely, Blu could feel the thing in his throat grow hotter and hotter. Blu gagged as this happened. He felt like he was going to throw up. Blu bite the other tube that lead into his right-wing. He pulled the tube that carried the weird substance out of his right-wing. Blu was beginning to feel sick. Jewel noticed Blu doing this, She was surprised that Blu didn't decide to talk to her. "Blu what are you doing," Jewel asked. Jewel didn't decide to stop him because she did the same thing when she woke up all of a sudden in a Hospital. She didn't know where she was so she panicked. Blu slowly rolled off the Hospital bed when he finished pulling out all the tubes from his wings. As the seconds passed he could feel himself grow even sicker. Blu fell off the bed and approached the unclean floor of the hospital. He made an impact on the floor in microseconds. He landed on his back, He sat there for a few seconds as his back soaked in the coldness of the Floor. He could feel the Hot substance in his throat flood into his beak. When this happened Blu quickly turned over onto his knees. He could feel that He was about to throw up. Blu's knees absorbed the coldness of the dirty Hospital floor as he hunched over and prepared to throw up. Jewel looked down at Blu with a confused look across her face. Jewel panicked when she woke up in the hospital, but she didn't act the way Blu was acting.

"Why is he acting like this," Jewel thought to herself. But soon she would figure out. Blu threw up onto the hospital floor, the glowing purple substance spilled out onto the floor. Blu's throat never burned so much before in his life. Jewel stepped back in disgust as she saw Blu throw up this glowing purple substance onto the Hospital floor. Know Jewel knew why Blu was acting so weird. Blu wiped his wing across his beak to clean up any of the substance that still remained on his beak. He sighed in relief as his throat cooled down.

"Jewel... I made a big mistake, and I don't think you're going to believe."
