CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES! Here's is my tenth post! Tenth!
Chapter 10: Terror In White Feathers
~Jewel~
Waking up this morning, I had no recollection of what happened yesterday but, a sharp pain suddenly filled my stomach.
I groaned and doubled over, sweat breaking out in little beads on my forehead. No, not now... Please... I thought to myself as the pain quickly increased.
Luckily, just at that very moment, Blu had come back with the breakfast. When he saw me, he dropped the fruit and rushed over to me. He laid me down on the
floor as the pain subsided.
"You okay?" Blu asked with concern.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I replied, putting on a smile. Blu, being Blu, unfortunately knew me all to well. He shook his head and replied with,
"No your not, if you were okay you would be standing up." hmmm, he was good.
"Blu, do you think its time-" I began "No, but it will happen soon." He replied, looking at the morning sun. I slowly got to my feet, walked next to Blu and
playfully knuged him with my hip. (What Jewel did at their first dance after Blu bumped into her)
"Hey, just think, soon were going to be parents!" A wide grin broke out onto his face, but it was quickly replaced with concern. He turned to me and said,
"I just hope I'm a good father." I sighed and said to him,
"Of course you'll be a good father!"
"Thank you." he replied. We shared a quick kiss and a nuzzle, and at that moment Rafael came into view. I was happy at first, but then i noticed his worried
expression, and I put on a frown. Rafael landed, panting hard and couldn't speak until he regained his breath.
"Hey Rafael, what's up?" asked Blu in an inquisitive but worried manor. Rafael, still panting, replied with,
"Nico.. Ped...ro Nig..el" He spluttered.

Upon hearing Nigel's name, my world turned upside-down. panic enveloped me and my head started spinning.
"What? Nigel's here! Again!" Jewel said, sharing my panic. Rafael nodded and said,
"Nico and Pedro told me to meet them at the Christo Redentor, but when I got there, Nigel was fighting Nico and Pedro."
It was awful thinking about those two friendly birds fighting a hell-bent evil Cockatoo that could seemingly never die.
"Are they OK?" I asked Rafael. "Because I think we should go and help them." Jewel and Rafael nodded their heads.
I turned to Jewel.
"You need to stay." Jewel was about to protest but she doubled over again and said,
"Yeah, I guess your right. Good luck." With that she walked up to me and gave me a passionate kiss right on the beak.
Then me and Rafael took to the sky towards the famous statue.
When we arrived, I could see Pedro ramming into Nigel and Nico despirtley throwing his bottle cap at Nigel. Nigel noticed us just as he put his talons to Pedro's
throat.
"Ah, more company!" He cried with his trademark laugh. His talons loosened and Pedro fluttered to the ground, unconscious.
He stared straight at Rafael. "I'll take you first. Then me and the Pretty Bird have some un-finished business to attend."
Nigel charged at Rafael, his talons outstretched. Rafael charged back, but as they collided he was thrown to the floor.
Now it was just me, Nico and Nigel. Nico's bottle cap came flying through the air and hit Nigel square between the eyes.
Infuriated, Nigel swooped after Nico, giving me time to think. Charge head on? too risky. Lanyard? Not a chance.
I decided to go with the easiest method; the ram choke-hold. Just as Nico was caught in Nigel's grip, I charged head on.
He saw me coming, dropped Nico and prepared for me. We collided, and surprisingly It was I who took him to the ground.
I held him in a choke-hold until he lay motionless, then picked up my friends and took them back to their nests in turn.
When i returned to our hollow, I could hear Jewel moving about inside. I walked in, and was greeted with a big hug from Jewel. I gently kissed her on the top
of her beak, something I do a lot now. I told her the whole story and how our friends are OK. Then, we settled down, gave each other a kiss and nuzzle
goodnight, and went to sleep.
Yeah, my tenth post! If you haven't noticed, my chapters are getting longer. See you in the next post!
