Chapter 19
WayLay
Jewel had forgotten where she was by the sudden slingshot of movement in the opposite direction that they were heading. The sweet morning air was now filled with the steam of the 2 busted cars. Glass shards and chunks of metal from the car covered the dirt path do to the incident that just occurred. Jewel learned a lesson though, make sure to put your seat belt on. Well, she did put it on after, but it was a pretty close call. Imagine if she didn't have it on. The impact of the cars flattened the front of Jaime's car, like a pancake. Neither of the cars would work anymore. Whenever the car made an impact on Jaime's car, Jaime's car did a 270-degree turn. The impact sent his car about 30 feet back.
"Jewel!" Jewel could here a male scream as she started to become conscious. The world was still slowly filling in her eyes, but she noticed that she was in the car. The light shined through the broken car door windows onto Jewel's face. The steam covered the front of the car, so no light shined through that area. Jewel's eyes shot open all of a sudden as she inhaled a large amount of air, but she was confused. She thought that a car was about to slam into the car that she was in. But whenever Jewel examined where she was, it already looked like that happened. "Jewel," The voice screamed to Jewel once again. Jewel coughed and covered her wing over her mouth as she inhaled the Grey steam from the car. Jewel quickly unbuckled herself from the seat in a panic. She reached over to the car door and grabbed the lever and pulled it towards her. This caused the car door to open. Jewel pushed it open even further with her talons. The Beautiful Blue feathers that Jewel had were now covered in dirt. Jewel stumbled out of the car and onto the dirt road.
"Jewel now is not the time for sleeping," Jaime told her as he pressed his back up against the side of the car. Jewel heard the voice of Jaime and looked over to her side, She noticed that Blu and Jaime both had their guns in their wings. They all used the car as protection. Jewel tried to move over closer to both of them. Jaime was on the far end of the car and Blu was kinda in the middle. As Jewel was trying to move over to Blu, a metal clinking sound of a bullet bouncing off the top of the car made her body shake. "Fucking shit," Jaime screamed as the bullet hit his car.
"Who the hell are these guys," Blu asked Jaime. Multiple gunshots followed after Blu said this, all of them hit the top of the car. The familiar metal sounds filled everyone's ears.
"You expect me to know," Jaime responded to Blu with an angry tone.
"That's why I asked you," Blu said to Jaime. Jaime rolled his eyes at Blu, another bullet hitting the top of the car made Jaime jump, but not Blu, he was expecting it.
"I need a gun," Jewel told both of them. They quickly shot there heads over at Jewel. Blu stared into Jewel's turquoise eyes.
"Sorry, we only have 2," Blu responded to Jewel. Jewel held out her wing in front of Blu like she wanted something. Blu stared at Jewel with a confused look.
"Then give me your gun," Jewel said to Blu. Blu looked down at his 44 Magnum, the silver of the Gun shined as the light of the sun reflected off of it.
"Why should I do that," Blu asked Jewel. Blu stroked her neck as she looked up at the sky, showing that she was thinking sarcastically.
"Oh, I don't know," Jewel said sarcastically "Maybe because I saved your life, in your hotel room when you thought we were going to have sex," Jewel screamed at him. Jaime stared at both of them as they fought. He sighed to himself.
"Jesus these 2 are like children," Jaime thought to himself.
"Oh, I have an idea," Blu said sarcastically "How about you get up, and go ask those guys if they want a handjob. I'm sure they'll say yes. And then I and Jaime will have time to escape " Blu told Jewel. Jewel rolled her eyes at Blu when he said this. Jaime let out a moan of anger. He was tired of them fighting.
"Can you 2 stop fighting like children," Jaime asked them loudly. Another bullet hit the top of the car before Blu answered him.
"Okay, so we need a plan," Blu told them seriously. Jaime could now see the worried look on Blu's face. Blu's wings shook as he held onto the gun. Maybe he should have given Jewel the gun.
"I have an idea," Blu told them as the idea formed in his head. For the first time, Blu might actually have a good idea. "So they're watching our every move right now, if we tried to fly away they would shoot us instantly. So all we have to do is distract them or injure them so we have enough time to fly away," Blu told them.
"Good idea," Jaime told his quickly as he patted Blu on the shoulder with one wing and held his gun in the other. Jaime didn't seem to be as surprised by this idea, but Jewel was very surprised. Jewel stared at Blu as he looked at his gun that he held in front of him. Jewel was going to tell him that's a good idea as well, but the sound of another bullet bouncing off the top of the car stopped her.
"Jewel move over I'm gonna shoot out the car window," Blu told her. Jewel quickly moved over so Blu could sit next to the car window. Blu decided to shoot out of the car door window because he thought that the other birds shooting them wouldn't expect it. They didn't even have a chance to see who was shooting them. Shooting out the car window wouldn't be the easiest. Blu had to aim through both the car windows. Blu really wanted this shot from his gun to mean something. He had to hit someone or hit something to distract them. Blu knew this was dangerous, the other birds could be aiming at the car window right now. He could look out the window and get shot through the head and that would be it. Another bullet hitting off the top of the car told Blu that this was the time. He inhaled deeply and looked through the car window with his gun held out, ready to shoot. Blu noticed something. There were 3 Crows and 1 white Cockatoo, they all stood up and aimed at the car. They didn't seem to notice Blu yet, he had to be quick. Blu used the iron sight on his Magnum to line up the shot on one of the crows. A single pull of a trigger from Blu's gun sparked the gunpowder inside the bullet and set it flying out of the gun. The sound of a gunshot echoed throughout the morning sky. The bullet flew through the air towards the Crow. The crow heard the gunshot and looked towards the direction of it, but he couldn't do anything to stop it. The bullet went right through the crows head, killing him instantly. At first, Blu questioned if he had even hit the crow with the bullet. But whenever he saw 1 of the 3 Crows drop to the ground, he knew he had killed one of them. A weird feeling was sent through Blu's body immediately after this. It was weird to kill somebody. Blu hadn't killed anybody in a while, and he didn't like doing it. But for some reason, something inside him enjoyed it, something inside his brain. It wanted him to kill more. Blu saw the rest of the birds take cover behind their car now since Blu had killed one of them. Blu noticed that some of the veins in his wings glowed up purple for a few seconds, but nobody noticed except for him. Blu took cover behind the car now.
"Let's go east," Jaime said as he put his gun back in his holster. Blu did the same thing. Jaime spread his wings and quickly took off the ground. He flew over the trees to the south. He didn't want to fly through them since he might get lost in them. Blu and Jewel followed quickly behind them. A couple of shots from the other bird's guns flew passed them. They were further away now so they were harder to be shot. They all knew that these birds would follow them, So they knew they had to lose them.
"dive down in the trees," Blu told them quickly. They all quickly dove down beneath the leaves of the trees, blocking the sunlight from shining on their feathers. They were now separated from each other. They had to be very quiet. Blu stared up at the leaves from the tree that surrounded him. He could see little glimmers of sunlight shine through the leaves. They waited there for a few seconds as silence washed over them. The sound of several birds flying past them broke the sudden silence. They now thought that it was safe to go out of the leaves since they heard the sound of birds flying past them, they thought that those were the birds trying to kill them. But just in case, they waited another couple of minutes before saying anything to each other.
"You guys still there," Jaime asked all of a sudden.
"I'm here," Jewel responded to Jaime.
"Me too," Blu quickly replied after Jewel. Blu flew out of the leaves the covered him. The sunlight washed over him once again. When Blu got out of the leaves he was met with Jaime and Jewel. They all flew in place as they stared at each other.
"Well, there goes my only car," Jaime complained to them "Who were those guys," Jaime asked them.
"I recognized them," Blu said to Jaime as he looked over to Jewel with a frightened look "Those were the birds that had the cops with them in the truck," Blu told Jewel. A surprised look spread across Jewel's face. She didn't have a chance to look at the birds since they were shooting at them the whole time. And when she was flying away she didn't look back, she just wanted to get away from them.
"Really," Jewel said to Blu in a surprised voice.
"And they weren't pretty far from the factory," Blu said to them.
"Which probably means that they have something to do with this," Jaime said to Blu.
"Exactly," Blu responded to Jaime's statement.
"Blu, Jewel, you don't have to help me if you don't want to," Jaime told them, thinking that they would leave. Jaime thought that they were getting too afraid to go on and that they would leave. Jewel was going to say of course we'll still help you, being the nice bird that she was, she thought that Blu would say the same as well. Jewel was going to say to Jaime we'll still help you. but Jewel responded to Jaime with something different before Jewel.
"Honestly, I am not doing this to help you," Blu said to Jaime "I am doing this because I think that it could have something to do with the murder of my partner." Jaime wasn't surprised by this, after all, Blu did tell him that his partner got murdered.
"I see," Jaime said in a blank expression "I should probably radio in for back up once we get there, who knows what could be there," Jaime told Blu and Jewel.
"Let's go," Jewel said to them "We shouldn't waste any time."
IMPORTANT MESSAGE: Next chapter is definitely going to take longer to upload than my other chapters since it is going to be the last to this part. I want the last chapter to this part to tie up everything in one big knot, hopefully, I can succeed with doing this. I can't tell you if Blu is going to wake up from his coma, you'll just have to wait and see. Patience is key.
