Chapter 4: Sister Duet
"No, no, no!" Bia kept repeating as she tried to dig her way out of the small cave the sisters were trapped in, while Carla was rapidly tapping her phone.
"Come on bestie! You never failed me before!" Carla shouted as she anxiously tried to get a signal on her iPhone to reach the outside, but to no avail.
"Your bestie is what got us into this mess!" Bia blamed Carla.
"What!?" Carla shouted to her sister. "It was your idea to take this little trip!"
"Well somebird was happy to come along when it meant it would get her more followers!" Bia snapped back.
"I can't stand you!" Carla yelled back as the two got their faces only a couple inches from each other as they rambled on angrily.
After a few seconds of that, they just gave up and began to walk away from each other, with Bia continuing to try and dig her way out while Carla went to a small cave pond, staring at her reflection.
"I guess you got what you wanted…" Carla spoke more quietly. "No portrait day for the both of us…"
"That's not what I wanted…" Bia stopping as sat down, thinking for a couple of seconds before coming to her sister, with their backs turned to each other. "I really wanted us to just spend time with each other, have fun like we used to when we were little."
Carla listened as she didn't respond, still a little upset, but let Bia continue.
"But it was wrong of me to trick you to come along, I turned this thing into making it about me, I wasn't a good sister at all…" Bia sighed as she remembered a song her sister made about this day…
Bia: Be still
Don't move
"The song I made…" Carla recognizing the words as she began to bring her head up while Bia continued singing.
Bia: It's easy to smile with you by my side
Don't blink
Carla couldn't believe Bia remembered as she took the next line, singing along with her sister.
Carla: Don't blink
Bia: Big smile
Carla: Big smile
The two got into harmony with each other as it began to look like the cave began to light up naturally around them.
Just being with you
My heart opens wi-i-i-i-i-i-ide
The two finally began to smile after so much anger, looking at each other to see the smiles on their faces, as they then danced around each other, continuing their little song.
As it all comes clear to me
You're my best friend, my family
Continuing on, the two looked at their reflections at the pong before splashing each other a little.
I wanna capture this moment
As we hit our stride
Coming to the end of the song, the two took off in flight, flying around the cave
With you by my
You by my si-i-i-i-i-i-ide
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Si-i-i-i-i-i-ide
The two stopping their flight around as they hovered in the space in the cave, bringing their wingtips to each other and finished the last lines before gently landing back down to the ground.
It's portrait day
I want you by my side
The two laid down as they started laughing for the first time today, back to being happy as they managed to catch their breaths back before looking at each other.
"I am really sorry sis." Bia apologized.
"Me too." Carla meaning it. "I wasn't such a good sister, not paying attention to you."
"It's okay, I wasn't exactly a role model either." Bia making sure it wasn't all of Carla's fault. "But now's the time we both figure out a way out of here together."
"I'm sure we can find a way out." Carla agreed.
"We can still breathe, which means there has to be a hole somewhere else that we just haven't seen yet." Bia smartly thought. "Lets start looking around, there has to be something we missed."
The two began searching up and down the interior of the cave, hoping to find a hole they could fit through and escape. Soon enough Bia saw what looked like sunlight coming through somewhere as she flew to it, finding a small hole, not big enough for the two to pass through, but it was something.
"Sis, over here!" Bia called over as Carla came and was not only happy about that, but something on her phone.
"I got a signal, it's a little weak, but should be enough to get through." Carla pointed out.
"Well, put on that tracker and someone will come." Bia instructed her sister as Carla did so.
Meanwhile Tiago and Lisa were with Linda, who had a tracker which tracked electrical signals, Linda moving it left and right to try and reach for any signal, which would be Carla's phone. While Tiago and Lisa were just ahead, keeping their eyes open for any signs of the sisters. Tiago, while looking, was worried as he began to think it was his fault.
"Hey honey, do you think I'm a good brother?" Tiago asked.
"Of course I do, why do you ask?" Lisa curious to know.
"I don't know, I feel like maybe I should have gone with my sisters, maybe I could have kept the two focused and we would be on our way to Rio by now." Tiago confessed.
"Don't do that Tiago, we'll find them and I'm sure wherever they are, they're fine." Lisa smiled, Tiago returning it, but he still had this feeling in the back of his head…
That is until Linda called out to the two, sounding happy, which gave Tiago hope.
"Tiago, come, I think I got something!" Linda explained as he and Lisa flew and landed down on Linda's shoulders, looking at the screen of the tracker.
Indeed, it was a signal of something, it was faint but steady, and besides… Carla was the only bird in the Amazon, as far as Tiago knew, that had a phone which would give off a signal.
"It has to be them!" Tiago loudly said as he took a closer look at the location before flying off in the direction of the signal, leaving Linda and Lisa behind to catch up.
"Tiago, slow down, you might miss it!" Linda called out.
After some fast flying and running, the three eventually reached the spot, however looking around, there was no sign of the two sisters, Tiago starting to look hope again, until Lisa pointed out something.
"Over here, they must be down there!" Lisa called as Linda and Tiago came over to where the Scarlet was, the spot being a tiny opening in the ground, to a cave. "Oh thank goodness you two are alright." Lisa spoke as Tiago appeared besides his mate.
"Boy are we glad to see you two!" Bia smiled. "How did you find us?"
"Carla's signal appeared on Linda's tracker sis." Tiago explained as the human could be seen behind the couple. "Glad you two are okay, don't worry, we'll call over the rest of the family and we'll get you out of there." Tiago assured his sisters.
"Thanks, hope mom and dad aren't too worried about us." Bia replied.
"So once we get out of here, are you going to be okay for portrait day?" Carla asked her sister while they waited for the rest of the family.
"Definitely now, it's going to be such a great day." Bia smiled as the two sisters then gave each other a hug, looking froward to taking the trip to Rio for their annual family event.
And I'll leave it there for next time, which will most likely be the last chapter of this short story!
Hope you been enjoying it so far and with that…
See everybird later!
