Chapter 11: A Friendly Falcon

Next day came after Alex was discovered to have left his tribe and disappeared into the rainforests, leaving behind a very heartbroken Lily. She was sobbing so loudly in Jewel's hollow that Bia, Carla, and Tiago had to spend most of their time out of home. Blu, as usual, was leading the tribe, leaving Jewel the only one to stay with Lily and try to keep her calm and make sure she didn't have a heart attack.

Blu ordered Roberto and his best birds to search around the area for Alex. While in the Scarlet tribe, Liz, without her mother's consent started her own search for her brother with the closet birds that she trusted. Liz saw how upset Lisa was and how much Alex meant to her, Lisa just staying in her room all day and like Lily just cried her eyes out.

Maria only cared about the upcoming trial and has been sending out messengers to all the other macaw tribes to gather in the pit of doom for the trial. She still couldn't believe how love could exist between two different kinds of macaws, she couldn't even believe that it was her son and that he actually mated with Lily.

Back in Jewel's hollow, Lily was in sorrow, with Jewel standing next to her.

"Lily, it's okay, try to breathe okay, it's not good to cry all the time." Jewel softly said to Lily.

"Why did he leave us? Doesn't he know he is breaking my heart?" Lily asked between sobs.

"Of course Alex knows that, he just needs to think alone, I guess." Jewel comforted Lily, knowing what she was saying was probably only false hope.

"I need him now, I just want to hold onto him and never let go." Lily cried. "I want the warm kisses we share now."

Jewel sighed. There was really not much she could do, all she could was provide comforting words.

"And you will, I promise you he will come back when he wants to, and he is going to hold onto you and give you a kiss." Jewel returned, smiling the best she could.

"Thank you Jewel, I'm so glad to have a friend like you." Lily replied, and then taking in a deep breath.

Jewel heard some flapping of wings and turned around to see Blu standing in the hollow entrance with a neutral face on. She took it as a bad sign.

"Blu, did you find Alex yet?" Jewel asked, hoping the answer would be "yes".

"No, Roberto and his birds are still looking around the area, but I think Alex is far away from here." Blu reported.

Before Jewel could reply, Lily started shouting in anger at Blu.

"What do you mean you can't find him!" Lily shouted. "I don't care if it takes the whole tribe and years to find him, keep looking!" And Lily was about to get up, only to fall down, with her stomach hurting.

Jewel kept to her side and held onto her before she could completely fall down and hurt herself. Blu just stood there with the same expression.

"We are trying Lily, please understand it will take some time." Blu said. "I better be going back to check on the progress." And Blu flew out of the hollow, leaving Jewel and Lily alone.

Lily returned to crying and Jewel looked at her, a thought crossing her mind about Lily's behavior and her pain in her stomach.

"Could it be?" Jewel thought in her head.

The mood swings from sadness to anger, the stomach cramps… Jewel wondered if Lily indeed was pregnant with eggs in her from the night Alex and her mated together. It was indeed a very likely possibility, but Jewel knew there was one bird she could ask this to, her aunt Mimi.

Meanwhile, far away from the Blue and Scarlet macaw tribes, Alex was flying through the rainforest, as far away as possible while looking for a place that had few animals so as not to draw attention to himself. He was crying so much and his heart hurt that he couldn't fly as fast as he could normally do. Eventually hunger got the best of him and his stomach begged him for some food.

"Well I better at least have a few bites of something." Alex thought to himself as he saw a tree full of brazil nuts and landed down on a branch and picked a nut free from one of them. Sitting down to eat it, he had some time to think about a lot of things, but the one thing that was on his mind was Lily. He still couldn't believe he just left her, knowing she would cry.

"Oh Lily, I wish you were here right now." Alex softly said as he took a bite of his nut.

While Alex ate, he heard some rustling of the branches above him and he froze completely, listening closely. Something that was bigger than him was walking on the branch above his branch, slowly. Alex wanted to run away or scream, but his body refused to let him do so, instead he simply just stayed in his position, shaking in fright.

A much bigger bird then landed in front of Alex, completely scaring him, but he was still unable to run or yell still for some reason. The bird was a male Peregrine Falcon. The falcon had dark feathers on his back, brown ones on his belly, some white present on his wings. He also had yellow talons and beak as well as green eyes. He had a kind smile on as he looked at the fearful Alex.

"Hey, I found you alone and wanted to know if you want some company." The falcon asked Alex with a happy tone.

Alex was still shaking. He read about falcons, they were predatory birds and would love to eat another bird for food, he needed to run away before he became this falcon's meal.

"Something wrong?" The falcon asked.

Finally Alex found the strength to fly away as fast as he could and did so, leaving the falcon a bit stunned. Alex felt adrenaline pump into him as he flew away as fast as he could to avoid being eaten.

"Hey!" The falcon shouted after him. "Why are you flying away?" And the falcon flew off after Alex.

Alex looked back and saw the falcon slowly catching up to him and went faster. Alex kept on flying with all of his strength, trying to lose the falcon. Eventually Alex felt his muscles cramp up and he started to lose strength, forcing him to land on a branch, the falcon following after him.

Alex panted as he saw the falcon land next to him. He gave up, at least he didn't die in front of Lily and well he would accept his fate. The falcon was still fresh in stamina and walked up to Alex, who turned to look at the predatory bird.

"Please, you can eat me, just do it now, end my suffering already." Alex said, as some tears came out.

"Eat you?" The falcon replied, confused. "I'm not going to eat you." The falcon reassured the Scarlet macaw.

"What?" Alex replied, completely caught off guard. "But you are a falcon." Alex added, not believing this bird.

"I am, but looks can be deceiving." The falcon chuckled to the uneasiness of Alex. "Why don't you come to where I live, you look like you been through a lot." The falcon smiled at Alex.

Alex thought for a moment and well he didn't have anywhere to go anyway, might as well go with this falcon, who he thought would still eat him in the end. As the two flew besides each other, the falcon looked at Alex, still a bit nervous.

"My name is Tomada, by the way, your's?" The falcon named Tomada asked Alex.

"Alex." Alex answered.

"Well nice to meet you Alex." Tomada replied and smiled, Alex smiling back uneasily.

Pretty soon Tomada spotted his hollow, diving towards the entrance to go inside, Alex following him in. Tomada went in, while Alex hesitated a bit at first, but then decided to go in as well. As Alex went inside to sit down and rest, something suddenly pinned him down on the hollow floor with some talons. Alex looked up to find, not Tomada pinning him down, but…

A Blue macaw.

Oh snap! Huge development!

You guys probably already know who the Blue macaw is, I mean… Tomada (belonging to Tomadahawk) and… Well… I'm not going to say!
