A Trap Laid
Nigel rubbed his hands together.
"Well, well, well, look what we have here!" he screeched with a tone of madness in his voice.
Jewel was cramped in a cage which was hanging from the branch of a tree. They were in one of the densest parts of the jungle, surrounded by trees older than Rio itself. Jewel looked down at Nigel, who was mocking her from the forest floor. She was both sad and terrified at the same time.
The past few hours had been consumed by their flight here, to a place far, far away from Rio and all the birds she knew and loved. Nigel had then stuck her here in this awful cage, and she knew that he was waiting for Blu to come and rescue her.
"I hope Blu doesn't fall for this trap," she thought to herself.
This part of the forest was bare of all life, except for the trees, and nothing but Blu or another bird could help her now.
"What do you want with me?" Jewel cried out at Nigel.
"Oh, you'll find out soon enough," Nigel squawked as a look of glee crossed his face. "But first we need that other blue macaw here so I can have a full set of blue macaws, even better, the last ones!"
"Blu will never fall for you trap," she replied. "Or will he?" she wondered to herself.
Jewel didn't know what to do. She knew that if Blu came, he would be facing the same fate as her, for he wouldn't stand a chance against Nigel.
"I just hope he's not stupid enough to walk straight into Nigel's trap without a plan."
That was Jewel's last thought before she collapsed on the floor of the cage and dosed off to sleep, even though it was midday.
Now this chapter is REALLY short.
Please don't forget to reveiw. The more reveiws I get the more encouraged I will be to continue writing.
