A Bad Gift. Chapter 6
Well now I really can't wait for Easter this year!, 100 since the Easter rising and my patriotism is ever so growing with each day! :D but anyways here's chapter 6 .
Somewhere close to the Spix Macaw side Blu was struggling to carry the old book in his talons as he attempted to make his way back home. But eventually out of shear effort Blu landed and searched for the page he was looking for to rip out.
"66...67...68...69...70" Blu said to himself as he flicked threw the pages. "Wait what am I doing?, I'm a page forward...there we go" He added while tearing out the page with care.
That's when he heard some rustling in large bushes close to him.
"Hello?." He said with his wing stretched out, reaching for the bush.
Suddenly a Blue Macaw jumped out at him and fell into a tree, scaring Blu and causing him to trip over himself as he tried to get out of the way.
"Ouch, my head." The young Macaw screeched while rubbing his head.
"You okay?" Blu asked, alerting him to his presence.
"No, NO, NO GET AWAY FROM ME!." Was the response he was given as the Macaw ran away and disappeared, screaming his lungs out.
Blu stood their for a moment with his beak hung open and wing held out. Afterwards he just shrugged if off and took flight with the page, tightly held in his beak.
"Hmm, what got his beak in a twist?." Blu thought out loud.
It didn't matter anyway as his concentration was diverted to him seeing his hollow but something wasn't right...he felt a little bit cold and started to wonder where everyone was. Surely there would be some birds casually flying around, doing their business but nope. Nothing.
Eventually his nerves eased a little as he landed on a branch connected to the exit/entrance to him and his wife's hollow.
"Honey!, I'm home!." Blu lowered his voice to sound like something else.
After walking inside he began to notice the wood making up his walls had scratch marks and dents in it. He sat down the page to get a closer look at it, using his wing to feel it.
"What?." Blu asked himself.
"Hello...dad." A familiar voice echoed around the hollow.
Blu turned his head to see his son...Tiago looking at him from outside the hollow.
"Tiago?, what happened here?...Were is your mother!." Blu demanded.
"Right here." Another chilling voice answer but this time Blu wasn't given a chance to turn around.
As Jewel bounced from the shadows and got on top of Blu, pinning him down. Inmeddiantly Blu began to squirm and shift himself.
"Jewel?, what's wrong with you!." Blu panicked as he got out of Jewels pinning and got on his feet again.
Suddenly Bia, Carla, Eduardo, Mimi and Roberto also flew in beside Tiago, all with Green, sinister eyes.
Blu stumped back a little.
"Guys?, What's wrong?." Blu asked as his fear started to build up as he didn't know what do to in this scenario.
"No, nothings wrong...well except for you." Jewel responded, talking one step forward. "Time to join the family." She happily added.
Slowly but steadily everyone started to move in on Blu who kept on trying to keep his distance from them all but eventually he was backed up into a corner with everyone blocking out the light from the entrance all Blu could see was green eyes and evil facial expressions.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA." A couple of voices screamed, causing everyone to divert their attention to it.
Three Blue Spix Macaws came flying in and started to tackle everyone except Blu but it didn't seem that they had any sort of advantage.
"YOU!." One of them shouted at Blu.
Blu didn't reply out of shear fear and confusion. He just stood still and watch the skirmish between the converted and non-converted happen.
"GET OUT OF HERE NOW WHILE YOU STILL CAN!." A female shouted at Blu again as she was tackled down by Roberto.
Blu snapped out of his trance and rushed to the exit, leaving behind the page he brought with him. Just as he was about to leave Mimi jumped in front of him and started to laugh un-controllably.
"Your not leaving!" She menially said but then instantly she was kicked over Blu by one of the Macaws.
"RUN!." She said before running inside her self.
Before leaving Blu's mind was mixed up in a series of emotions; he had just returned to find his family controlled by something and fellow Macaws risking themselves.
Suddenly a scream took his mind of it as he looked over to see Jewel holding one of the macaws down with the Flower pressed at his beak.
Blu and the rest gasped as one of the rescuers stood back up and spin'd around revealing his very own...green eyes.
Without a second thought Blu's body took over and forced him to take flight and get as far away from their as possible with the battle cry's and shouting encouraging him to go faster. He eventually had to stop to catch his breath and let his mind process everything that has just happened. That is...until a converted scarlet Macaw burst threw a bush and attempt to grab him, luckily he missed and Blu shot like a missile.
"Wait!, even the Scarlet's too!?." Blu shouted out loud.
By the time all the adrenalin weared off Blu was deep into Scarlet territory.
"W-what do I do?." He asked himself, trying to think of a plan to save everyone. "Come on think!."
He then began to hear another bush rattle this time he was too tired to run straight away and just waited for what ever it was approaching him. Slowly a Scarlet Macaws head popped out of the Bushes and look left and right before focusing on Blu. They both just stared at each other, wondering if one is converted or not.
"Please...you don't have to do this" Blu pleaded as he out of fuel to fly.
"What do you mean?." The Scarlet asked curiously while walking more out of the bush.
"What you all did to my family and tribe!." Blu replied more aggressively and even going as far as to point at him.
"Wait you mean...No, no, no I'm not apart of them." He said in his defence and waved both of his wings. "Look although you don't act like one, I still don't think your safe to be around with." He added afterwards.
"I'm not one of them!." Blu argued. "Three of my kind made sure of that about 10 minutes ago."
"Wait, that was you...running away?." The Scarlet asked.
"Yeah how did you know?." Blu responded. At this stage he could fly off but he didn't and wanted to hear the scarlet out.
"I was informed a survivor was running loose." The Scarlet answered.
"You were informed?...by who?." Blu asked another question, unsatisfied by the lack of detail.
"Come with me and I'll show you." The Scarlet offered.
Blu thought about it for a second and scanned the Scarlet top to bottom before coming to a answer.
"Lead the way." Blu said and began to follow the Scarlet back into the Bush before disappearing.
Meanwhile
At Blu and Jewels hollow.
The three macaws that saved Blu were line up beside each other with Jewel walking to each end of them. Looking at them while Everyone else flew away outside.
"Who are you?." Jewel demanded while staring at each and one of them.
"We were resistance fighters." They all said in conjunction.
"Resistance fighters eyy?." Jewel said to herself. "Were is the rest of your 'fighters?." She added.
"We don't know." One of them answered.
"What do you mean you don't know!" Jewel shouted and walked up to the macaw who said it.
"They keep it secretive from us because we were the first tribe converted." A female Macaw spoke.
"Well...I guess we will just have to scan everywhere for them!, that's all you may go now," She said and ended the talk.
The Three macaws nodded before walking off.
"I will find you Blu...just you wait." Jewel sinisterly whispered to herself with her eyes glowing a little.
Oh boy already a resistance?. Maybe they have some plan to combat the Nasci? who knows. Until next time and thanks for reading :D
