A Bad Gift. Chapter 3 (Panic.)
Here goes nothing...
Okay before I begin I generally thought that I couldn't return to the forums and that I might as well move on but however that wasn't the case for some other authors who went out of their way and helped me (You know who you are!) so I'd like to say thank you for everything. and to everyone who helped, What happened in the past stays in the past and I would like to start thinking about the now and future. Now with all that said lets continue. :D
llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll
Everyone started to burst into laughter as Blu squirmed and struggled to wipe all the small pieces of the nut's shell from his tongue making him pull funny faces while trying to get the most off him. Once Blu flicked out the last shell piece he looked over to see his family rolling in laughter..well except for Jewel as she had here wings at her stomach, coughing while laughing.
"Please!, *Laughter* it hurts to *Giggles* laugh!." Jewel pleaded with her wing but because she looked like she was just laughing no-one took her seriously.
Eventually though after the fun had died down everyone's attention was brought towards Jewel who was still coughing but at a much faster rate.
"Jewel, is their something wrong?." Blu asked as he spat out a hidden piece of shell in the corner of his mouth.
"No, everything's alright I just need a drink of water." Jewel replied.
Blu smiled and walked away from everyone.
"Kids, get your mother to the hollow." Blu asked his kids with all off them nodding in perfect timing.
"One water, coming right up!" Blu said enthusiastically as he jumped hoped down and pretended his wings were guns pointing towards everyone.
After Blu was long gone Tiago, Carla and Bia went under Jewels wings and helped her get off the ground and steadily set a course for their hollow. But all of a sudden Jewel stopped coughing and kept blinking for a couple of seconds before getting out of her kids hold. To all there confusion Jewel who was speechless just looked at her wings and back.
"Mom?." Bia asked confusedly with her siblings just looked at her with the same expression.
"I don't know suddenly I feel normal again?, one second I felt like I was going to faint and now..." Jewel awnsered and questioned.
"Maybe it was something you ate ealier or something?." Carla asked.
"Probably now come on your fathers more likely wondering where we are" Jewel said as she leaded her family towards the hollow. Meanwhile Blu was on his way back with a hollow log that he found near a river filled with water. When he arrived he was greeted with his family waiting patiently on him.
"I thought you would of been here before us?." Jewel asked while hugging a confused Blu.
"Um, are you okay now?." Blu replied while gently setting down the log.
"Yep it was something I ate earlier but I feel perfect now!." Jewel happily said.
"Oh..okay then are you still hungry?." Blu asked trying to change the topic.
"Yes!, I thought you'd never ask!." Jewel said, running other towards the spares from earlier and helping herself to her favourite fruit.
While Jewel was stuffing her face the rest could only watch in shock as it seemed that she was eating a whole mango in 2 bites like someone on a old cartoon. After wondering why Jewels acting so...hyper Blu decided to 'break the ice'.
"Kids, what happened when I left?" Blu whispered so Jewel wouldn't hear.
Tiago hopped onto his fathers wing and started to talk about everything.
"When you left we did what you said and carried her to the hollow, but on the way she suddenly started the blink then fly away from us only to check her wings and tell us nothings wrong." Tiago explained.
"Come on guys!, I'm not going to eat this all by myself am I?." Jewel asked behind her back.
"I bet you could." Blu thought to himself. "Yea save some for us!." He added.
Suddenly just as Blu started to walk over Jewel froze on the spot, worrying everyone before collapsing on the spot, scaring everyone. Blu sprinted over to check on her followed by his kids who landed behind him.
"Jewel?, JEWEL?!." Blu shouted as he held her in his wings. "KIDS, WERE GOING TO MIMIS COME ON!."
Everyone then bolted out of the hollow with Blu holding Jewel in his talons as fast as they could. They kept on taking shortcuts threw more tensed areas but luckily no one was hurt all they mattered about was getting to Mimi's hollow. On the way their Roberto was flying by when he noticed Blu panicking with Jewel un conscious, immediately he rushed to help.
"WHAT HAPPENED?!." Roberto asked with helping Blu carrying Jewel.
"WE DONT KNOW!, SHE JUST COLLAPSED IN OUR HOLLOW." Blu replied with a sweat river running down his face.
"Were is Mimi?!." Blu questioned.
"She's at her hollow come on!." Roberto answered.
Blu faces lightened up a little as he saw Mimi's hollow in the distance with her fixing her nest. Roberto let go off Jewel and rushed ahead to inform Mimi about what's happened. Apon arriving Blu set Jewel down in the middle of Mimis nest. Quickly Mimi rushed over.
"What happened?." Mimi asked while taking her temperature.
"She collapsed about 10 minutes ago!." Blu replied.
"Looks like she's got a fever quick go and get me my medicine, its in a small leaf in the corner" Mimi asked Blu who without a second thought rushed deeper into her hollow and came running back out balancing a leaf in both of his wings so nothing would fall out.
"Roberto could you please go and make sure my kids don't see anymore." Blu asked, trying to think about the children.
Roberto looked over at the three kids who were either snibbling or scared before looking back at Blu.
"Yea okay just tell me if something happens!." Roberto agreed.
He then walked over to them and took them to one of their favourite spots or even the spot they were at earlier.
"Is our mom going to be okay Uncle Beto?." Tiago asked with sorrow in his eyes.
"Yes don't worry things like this happen sometime trust me she will be alright" Roberto responded to Tiago but it was meant for everyone as well.
Meanwhile up with Mimi, Jewel and Blu.
"Is she going to be okay?." Blu asked with fear.
"Yea she just needs some rest but I don't know the reason why she collapsed in the first place." Mimi responded. "I'm just going to take this flower out and set it over here for afterwards."
Mimi then removed the Flower that was on Jewels head and placed it at the side of the nest. A small cloud of smoke came out of the flower as soon as Mimi sat it down but no one saw it do so.
"I don't know when she'll wake up but I'm happy enough if you want to stay here and wait or if you want to go back to your hollow with your kids." Mimi asked.
"Ill stay!." Blu said in a serious tone.
