A Bad Gift. (Chapter 7)
I Just got told what a 'lemon' meant on this website 0_0
I was not prepared...
After 10 minutes of Blu following the Scarlet Macaw in complete silence they finally stopped outside a hill slope with a huge rock in front of it. Blu wondering what was going on and why they had stopped decided to break the silence.
"Okay...now what?." Blu asked while leaning against a tree.
"Watch and learn." The Scarlet Macaw replied and walked towards the slope until he was directly in front of it.
He then stretched his wing out and began to knock on the hard stone a couple of times making Blu fully lost on what was going on. Suddenly after the Scarlet walked back a little the huge rock started to shiver before slowly moving to the side exposing an entrance and two other Macaws, both different from the Scarlet and Blu's species.
"Oh you've returned...welcome." One of the guards greeted before noticing Blu and completely changing its facial expression. "Blue Spix!" He added.
Suddenly the two macaws ran past the Scarlet who didn't know what was going on and towards Blu, surrounding him.
"He..he...please help!." Blu pleaded with wings raised high.
"Relax you's two he's with me." The Scarlet ordered.
"But...but he's a." The other guard was about to say before being interrupted.
"Blue Spix?, Yea don't you think I know?." The Scarlet sarcastically asked. "Now come on lets go" He said to Blu who immediately ran behind and followed the Scarlet deeper into the secret cave thingy.
"What was wrong with them?." Blu asked, pointing to them over his back.
"Eh just ignore them they just think all Blue Spix Macaws are converted even though many are here." The Scarlet macaw replied.
"What do you mean by many?." Blu also asked.
"Take a look.." The Scarlet replied again and moved to the side allowing Blu to get a look.
Blu's beak dropped and eyes widened as he saw loads of his kind, Scarlet's and many other species of birds all living in a made shift hotel that was far bigger than anything that he has ever seen in his life!. He could only compare it to Linda's old house, it was that big.
"H...how did you's make this in such short time!." Blu asked.
"Well...it wasn't built recently, it was built in case your kind declared war on us ages ago now if you excuse me I have to go help plan stuff" The Scarlet Macaw spoke before walking away.
"Wait...I can help!." Blu shouted, stopping the Scarlet in his tracks.
"You can?." He asked.
"Yeah, earlier I found this book that explained what exactly this thing is and how to combat it!." Blu explained.
"Follow me then!." The Scarlet happily invited Blu to join him.
They were now both walking down a short corridor with a light at the end and a couple of birds around a table. Just before they entered the room Blu walked up beside the Scarlet to ask him something.
"So what's your name?." Blu asked curiously.
"Ermm..sorry I wish I could tell you but because of security and in case either of us become infected it's best not to know much about each other sorry." The Scarlet apologized.
"Oh, um okay." Blu responded with his head lowered down a little.
Once they entered everyone looked at both of them before chatting amount each other.
"Sir, who is this?." One of them asked.
"He's a survivor just like us and he knows how we can stop this infection!" The Scarlet Macaw explained before looking back at Blu. "Go ahead and tell them"
Blu walked up to the table and began to speak.
"Yeah 'Ahem'...The infection is caused by a flower that often releases green smoke this smoke once it gets inside the body of the target begins to become the flowers slave and forcing them to become more violent and even more stronger, faster than normally. If you want to end this chaos we need to destroy the source of the infection, the Nasci and make something to combat all the infected birds who have already fallen under its influence" Blu explained to everyone.
"Well its good for you to tell us this but what I want to know is; do you know 'how' to make such a cure for it?." The bird at the end of the table asked.
"Yes...ummm."
"Just call me chief." Chief told Blu.
"Yea I found a book that tells us everything and anything about it!." Blu happily said.
"And where is it?." Chief asked.
"Well...right here.." Blu cockily said before searching around his body for the page he ripped out. Eventually he just stared at the floor remembering he dropped it in his hollow earlier.
"Its...back at my hollow, inside Blue macaw territory." He depressingly answered.
"Well...it seems we need to go get it huh?" Chief requested. "Take a couple of fighters and go bring us back that book!."
"Thank you Chief." Blu thanked before walking off with the Scarlet Macaw.
"Oh yea take this." Chief said while pointing at a glass container. "It will stop anything trying to invade the body to a certain extent."
After Blu grabbed the bottle and walked away he went up to some of his kind and asked him to join in the retrieve mission. Surprisingly they were more than eager to help in any way they can and eventually Blu now had a team of 5 birds by him.
"Good luck." A couple of Macaws said before Blu's team left the hideout and took flight.
Meanwhile with Jewel
Jewel was kicking a spare nut around her hollow, trying to have fun but eventually she got bored off it along with, rolling around, painting with herbs, practicing her shouting and evil voice...
"FEAR ME!." She sais as her reflection.
Eventually boredom took its toll on her as she just sat down.
"Immm sooo boredddd!, I thought taking over and ruling everyone would be fun?. What to do, what to do." She said to herself as she looked at her surroundings.
She got up and walked over to the entrance/exit and looked at the horizon.
"Were is my stupid recon team?, surely they should be back by now." She grunted to herself. "Doesn't matter, once the last trace of the sun has disappeared nothing will stand in my way!." She evilly added while raising his wings and clenching them.
Suddenly her wings fell back down by her side and she let herself fall back inside the hollow.
"I think I just need to have some sleep..." She finally said before everything went silent...except after 5 minutes as her snores became the dominate sound.
Roberto soon flew in and landed at the exit/entrance.
"Master, recon team is..." Roberto was about to say before he noticed Jewel was asleep. "I guess they can wait." He also said before taking flight again and left the hollow.
I wonder what Jewel meant by that... I guess we'll maybe see next chapter! and thanks for reading :D
