Chapter 8: The Truth

~Jewel~

As I felt Blu slowly get up and take his wing off me, I woke up. I slowly opened one eye, then the other. At first my vision was blurry, but as it adjusted I could make out Blu's face, which had a stressed and worried expression. I frowned and got up, careful to make sure Blu didn't notice. I slowly placed a wing around

him, making him slowly wake up from his thoughts. He smiled at me, but kept his troubled facial expression printed on his face. I turned him round so I was facing him and said right to his face, "Blu, what's wrong?" I looked deep into his brown eyes, memorising them.

"Jewel... I need to tell you tha-" Blu stopped abruptly and stared at my belly. Confused, I looked down to see it had extended and became noticably rounder. I looked up at Blu, who smiled at me and forgot what he wanted to tell me. Blu offered to go get breakfast from the stands in the city. But what I felt was

strange that, instead of going in the direction of the stands, he was heading towards Rafael's nest. I took of to follow him. But as soon as I tried to fly,
I noticed that It took more of my energy. Blu was far away now, no way I could catch him. I've got to get to him, but how?

~Blu~

I touched down at Rafael's nest, and once again his kids tried their big cute eyes trick that will never fool me again.
"That's nice, thank you," I said to the toucan siblings. "Hey, Rafael! I need to talk to you!" I shouted towards his nest.

I heared Rafael call back, "Who is it?"
"Blu," I replied "And it's urgent."

Rafael came popping out his nest and landed in front of me. "What can I do for you amigo?" he asked me in a inquisitive tone. "I need your help with this," I replied "Last night, when I was asleep, I dreamt about things like forest fires, dead birds Nigel and other horrible things like that" Rafael had a shocked

expression on his face, but quickly changed it to his calm and smiling expression.
"Hmm, I'm no physciatrist, but I do think that this was not just a dream Blu."

"I thought that two, but why would I be able to see into the future? Am I mentally challenged or something?" I replied with a worried look. Rafael looked at me and said In a don't-worry-but-everyone-might-die-because-of-you voice,

"I'm not sure, but maybe It could be a-" Rafael stopped when he noticed something behind me. I turned to see a familiar Yellow Canary and a unmistakable Red-Crested Cardinal.

"- twirl and land. Yo Birds, what's been goin' on around here?" Inquired Pedro.
"Yeah," added Nico "We were coming to find you." I was happy to see our rapping samba-loving friends, but concern met my gut.

"Why are you looking for us?" I asked Pedro. He thought for a moment and said,
"Well, we were going to find you, Blu, but when we got to your nest, only girl Jewel was 'dere. Jewel asked us to tell you to come back to the nest." Finished

Pedro. I exchanged a glance with Rafael; he knew what Jewel was asking about. To break the silence, Rafael said to us all,
"Well there's no use us standing here, is their? How about lets all go?" I nodded in agreement.
"OK amigos, let's go!"

~Jewel~

I had been waiting now for about fifteen minutes. Come on, where are they? Suddenly I was facing four brightly coloured birds, all of them I recognised. Blu had a stern expression, and he asked me,

"So, why do you need me?" "To ask you why you went of to Rafael's." I replied, just as stern as him. Blu shot me an angry look and said,
"And why, might I ask you, does it matter?" The air was thick with tension, and the trio were looking uncomfortably at me and Blu.

"Because, you said you were going to get breakfast!"
"So? I had more important things to do then get stupid fruit!" Blu's eyes had turned red with anger, and his neck frill was getting all stuck out. He really could

make himself look intimidating. But suddenly, Blu returned to normal, his eyes back to the usual brown, his frill fluffy and not scary at all. He swore in Portuguese and turned to face me.

"Look, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap, but..." Blu let his sentence trail off.
"But what?" I asked him. Rafael spoke up.

"Well, Blu has had a bit of a disturbing dream." Blu shook his head. "It wasn't a dream, It was the future."
