Hello Rio of The Dead fans! Time to find out if they can get to Arlene's place safely! Feel free to review, I really don't mind what you say, but I do mind long authors notes and this one has gone far enough. So here's the second chapter. ~Hyrum
Chapter two: Arlene?
Tomada crabbed his crossbow, Sorrel snatched up her yellow eco, Hyrum drew his elegant Ga'Hoolian king's man sword, Alex's wing's turned into blades and Jameson clutched his baseball bat.
"This is going to be easy and fun!" Jameson called back as they approached the undead.
"Go back to where you came from, demon spawn." Tomada said as he neared firing distance, he aimed down his sights and fired his crossbow. The arrow hit it's mark and the zombie bird fell out of the air like a stone being dropped off a cliff.
"Nice shot, Tomada" Sorrel said with a wink. Tomada blushed and looked away.
"Wait... wait a minute, they only look ahead." Alex said, Hyrum noticed it to, it was like their heads were locked in place.
"We should fly lower." Hyrum added, the group nodded. They flew down to the road, they felt the heat rising up from the pavement. Sorrel was the first to step on.
"One small step for bird," Sorrel quote. "One giant leap for bird kin- OWWW!" She suddenly yelped as the tile began to burn her talons. Tomada rushed forward
"Are you okay?!" He said concerned
"Yeah, I'm fine. It just burned my talons a little." She answered, Tomada looked down.
"You- your talons?" He said clearly troubled. Meanwhile Alex got on top of a abandon car an kept a look out.
"Guy's, there are human zombie-things too." Alex said as he gazed down the windy road.
"Well that can't be good." Jameson said as he weaved though the rubble. Out of nowhere Hyrum, after seemingly disappearing after his comment about the zombie birds, called:
"HEY! I found a firework!" Everyone turned towards him as held up a C4 pack.
"What the Hell! Put that down right now before-" Alex was cut off by a distant boom.
"Damn! They're blowing the road! TAKE COVER!" Jameson screamed. The booms repeated and drew closer too an ear shatering sound. Alex and Hyrum ran to the left side of the road while Jameson flew to a nearby tree. As they did so Tomada pushed Sorrel ahead as the ran. then the C4 Hyrum was once holding went off, Tomada and Sorrel went flying to a near by river bank as Alex and Hyrum hid under a ditch. the fire raged and some of the cars exploded causing the tops of the tree's to go up in flames.
"Is it over!" Jameson called as he landed in the ultimately destroyed road.
"Yeah I think so!" Alex called as he and Hyrum got out of the ditch. Nearby riverbank Tomada was on top off Sorrel as he opened his eyes.
"oh sorry! I should get up now." He said in a hurry to get off as he might be offending her, but she spoke:
"No please don't." Tomada was delighted to find that she was okay.
"Oh, thank god your okay, but I should really be-" Sorrel cut him off as for she slammed her beak to his. Tomada closed his eyes at the bliss he was feeling.
"Thank you." Sorrel breathed. Tomada broke the kiss.
"For what?" He asked still shocked at the display of love Sorrel showed him.
"Saving my life!" She replied. Tomada was about to say he had too, but Hyrum cut him off.
"Hey, Come on, Lets go!" Tomada glanced at Sorrel who smiled. Just as the pair walked out of the forest a strange voice sounded from above.
"Are you guy's okay? I saw what happened." They all looked up to see a Blue Macaw, With black feathers at the tip of his wings.
"Who are you? And where did you come from?" Hyrum said and put his sword to the Blue Macaw's neck.
"My names Roran and can you put that weapon down." Roran asked. Hyrum withdrew his sword and backed away.
"We're looking for a female Scarlet Macaw named Arlene. Have you seen her?" Alex asked. Roran looked surprised,
"Funny how you should ask that. Yes I have, she's alive, and I'm her tour guide." Roran informed. Alex sighed in relief
"Good, Hyrum still has a chance to get laid." He said. Tomada, Sorrel and Roran burst out laughing while Hyrum glared at Alex and Jameson shook his head.
"Hey shut-up! I don't want to get laid!" He said in his defense. Alex whispered into Tomada's ear
"He's totally into her." Tomada laughed harder.
"Hey shut the hell up! I heard that!" Hyrum called. Jameson took to the sky
"Come on now guy's, we can't be late." He said. The others followed him into the jungle.
As they flew they came past many dead birds and destroyed places. Tomada flew up to Hyrum and asked:
"Do you actually like Arlene?" Hyrum blushed looked down.
"kinda, but you no how weird that will look?" Tomada shook hi head at the response.
"look at me and Sorrel, do you think we care how it looks? No because it's true love, and nothing can stop that." He said Hyrum nodded.
"I guess your right" He said.
As they flew though the jungle they saw many dead birds and destroyed places. Roran slowed once he reached a hollow with a door.
"Well here we are, anyone care o knock? Roran said. Hyrum just flew passed him and knocked the door once with his sword, leaving a mark. The door opened to reveal a Scarlet Macaw, it was Arlene.
"Hyrum!" She said happily, then blushed looked down. "I- I mean, do you want to come inside?" Hyrum nodded and the group stepped into the roomy hollow. there wasn't much, three rooms though.
"Nice place you got here, Arlene" Sorrel said, as Arlene walked into the kitchen.
"It's nothing really, but your just in time for supper." She replied. Hyrum sat next to Jameson and Arlene, Alex next to Roran in between Tomada and Sorrel. They're supper went in silence until Jameson asked:
"Where are we going to sleep?" Arlene looked around.
"Tomada and Sorrel get the guest room, Alex you and Roran get the sweet. Hyrum and I get the masters." she said. Alex winked at Hyrum who just rolled his eyes. Once the supper was over, as in no more mango's and starfruit left, the small flock retreated to their designated sleeping spots.
Tomada wrapped his wings around Sorrel as they laid down.
"Good-night Sorrel." He said. Sorrel cuddled up next to him,
"Good-night as well, Tomada." she said before yawning and laying her head on his wing. Alex buried himself under the covers of the bed in the sweet, while Roran took the chair. As Jameson laid down on the sofa
"Good-night Arlene." Hyrum said as he got comfortable in the chair. Arlene mumbled something as she fussed with the blankets, but Hyrum couldn't hear so he closed his eyes and began to doze.
Hyrum was awoken to the sound of movement, he looked at the clock it read; 12:07 AM.
"What's going on." He said half asleep.
"I can't sleep." Arlene replied. Hyrum looked around to find the Scarlet Macaw standing beside the bed.
"Have you tried reading?" Hyrum asked, she nodded.
"It's just... I'm scared. Is there a stop open next to you?" She asked, Hyrum blushed a little, but then replied:
"Yes there is." He said and moved over a little. Arlene went up next to him and laid her head on his white-feathered chest. Hyrum blushed a little, but soon Arlene's calmed breathing soothed him to sleep
Second chapter is done, They made it to Arlene safely. Roran belongs to HeadHusky, and will there be a love story? Who knows, cause' I don't. ;) ~Hyrum
