Rio the series 5
Chapter 8 there's always one more troublemaker
It was a nice relaxing day in all of Rio De Janeiro. Someone amongst the Jungle, Blu the Macaw was walking around the area where he and Jewel lived. Blu was trying to find Jewel, who was doing what she liked best: messing around with Blu.
"Jewel? Jewel, come on out!" Blu called out to her while looking around the area. "Jewel, come on, this isn't funny. Come on out!"
Blu did not know that Jewel was closer than he thought. Jewel was hiding in a bush while watching her mate look around for her. "Oh, Blu, you're not gonna see this one coming."
"Jewel, come on out! Please." Blu continued to call out Jewel, but while he was doing that, he turned his back to where Jewel was hiding and now he would have no idea that Jewel could jump out any second now. "Jewel, where are you?"
"Right behind you, Lovehawk."
"Wha-omph!" Before Blu had the chance to even blink, he was tackled to the ground be his so-called "Angel". Jewel jumped on Blu's back and held onto him like a rodeo. "Jewel, get off!"
Jewel lifted her talons up and tied them both around Blu's body to stop him from flying and tackled him to the ground. Blu already and immediately gave up in defeat.
Jewel kept her grip on Blu and couldn't help but chuckle. Jewel extended out her right wing and patted Blu's head like a dog. "I got you."
"Jewel, I thought you said you'd only teach my self-defensive's on Sunday's?" Blu said, before letting off a sigh.
"I lied." Jewel smirked as she let Blu go out of her strong light black talons.
When Blu had gotten back up onto his talons, he lifted his wings up and could see Jewel had made him dirty by knocking him into the dirt. "Oh great, now I'm dirty."
"Better go and have a bath, smelly." Jewel teased, before she planted a peck on Blu's cheek.
"Yeah, yeah." Blu said as he extended his wings and began flight towards the pond.
When he was out of sight, Jewel heard the bush behind her move a little. "Huh?" Jewel said, as she approached the bush to investigate the noise. Jewel got to the bush and saw it seemed like an ordinary bush. Must just be the wind.
"Oh, Jewel, you worry too much." Jewel thought to herself in third person. Just as Jewel was about to take off, something grabbed her by the neck and pulled her back. "Ah, what the-!"
"I got her!"
Jewel managed to turned her head around long enough to see her attack was a Gangster with his wing tied around her neck. Jewel gripped his wing in hers and tried to pull herself free. "Let go of me!"
"Help, she's tough!" the Gangster called out for help.
Unfortunately for Jewel, there was two of them. Another Gangster appeared from behind a tree and tried to restrain Jewel's wings. "Wow, she's tough."
"Grrr, if I get out of this!" Jewel growled, while squirming around the best she could.
###
Meanwhile, back with Blu, he had just finished having a bath in the pond and had made his way back home. Blu landed in the hollow, only to see Rico and Arlene with Azul, Rey, Crystal and Jessica. "Hey, guys."
"Yo, Blu." Rico greeted.
"You look nice." Arlene complemented
"Look nice?" Blu repeated, before he noticed his dark blue feathers were nice and shiny. "Oh, thanks. Jewel knocked me into the dirt so I needed a bath." Blu then noticed Jewel wasn't here. "Has Jewel been back?"
"No, I haven't seen her." Rico replied.
"Me, neither." Arlene said.
"Hmmm, she must still be out there plotting her next move on me." Blu said, before chuckling while looking outside his tree hollow at the peaceful morning sky. "Hope to see you later, Jewel."
###
Back with Jewel, she had been embarrassing defeated by the two Gangsters. They tied rope around her body and ankles and began to walk through the Jungle together (one of the Gangsters was carrying her over his shoulder).
Jewel rapidly squirmed around the best she could trying to get free. "Put me down! I said put me down, now! Ugh!"
"Will you please shut up?" the Gangsters requested, as he and his friend were getting a headache from the angry Blue Macaw they had taken hostage and tied up.
"Let me go! If I get out of these ropes, I'll rip you to shreds!" Jewel threatened, before she tried to get free again.
"Ugh, how can I shut her up?" the Gangster said as he looked at her tied-together talons which were near his face. The Gangster smirked and began to wiggle his wingtips under Jewel's talons and began to tickle her.
"Hehehe, stop, hehehe." Jewel giggled as she could not handle being tickled. "Please, stop, I cannot-hehehe-take it!"
"Stop screaming and squirming and I'll stop." the Gangster replied, while he continued to tickle her talons.
"Ok-ok, hehehe, I won't!" Jewel promised, while she continued to giggle. "P-please, now stop!"
The Gangster smirked at the other Gangsters as he stopped tickling her talons and continue his walk through the Jungle. While the continued to walk through the Jungle, Jewel tried to figure out her escape. "Hmmmm, let's see. I can't move my wings to fly. I can't move my talons. I can't really bite him. Hmmm, I guess I'll just have to see who they are taking me to."
###
Sometime later, the two Gangsters had took Jewel to the most obvious location where they would go. The Gangster Club. They untied her body and talons and put her in a cage which had her cramped a little. By the looks of it, the cage was made to only hold small birds like Nico and Pedro.
Jewel looked out of the cage bars and could see the Club was empty. Jewel extended her wings out and gripped onto the cage bars. "Why did they kidnap me? What did I do?"
Jewel's attention turned towards the Club entrance/exit when three Birds had walked inside and had made their way over to her. Two of them were the two males that kidnapped her, the other one however was a female and the current leader of the Gangsters at the moment.
It was indeed Kate, the former girlfriend of the former leader, Johnny the snake.
"Kate? You're behind all this?" Jewel said, making sure she understood of everything that has happened to her today.
"Indeed I am." Kate replied, with a smirk and her eyes half-closed while folding her wings. "Soon, it will be time."
"Time? Time for what?" Jewel asked, as she was now becoming a little feared.
"You'll see." Kate simply replied, before she turned around and began to walk into one of the private rooms (her bedroom). Kate turned back over to her two Guards and ordered to them: "You two, stand guard and keep an eye on her until it's time."
"Yes, Ma'am!" both Gangsters said, while putting their wings on their foreheads and saluting to her.
"Why are you saluting? We're not the Army, you know." Kate frowned, before she began walking to her room and thinking to herself: "What a bunch of morons."
###
Back in the Jungle, Blu had been searching for Jewel almost for 3 hours, desperately trying to find her. She had been gone for too long. "Jewel, where are you!?" Blu called out to her. "If this is one of your jokes, it isn't funny!"
There was no reply.
"Ugh, where could she be?" Blu wondered, before he could spot something near the area where he and Jewel were this morning. Blu landed down on the ground and put his wings back to his sides while be began to walk through the Jungle.
Blu had discovered 6 feathers on the ground. 2 of them were light blue, the other 4 however were dark blue, and Blu could possibly tell they were not his. Blu looked down at picked one of Jewel's feathers in his talon. "These are Jewel's feathers! What happened to her?"
"Dark blue feathers?" Blu thought, while kneeling down to the ground and picking up the other feathers in his wings. "These aren't not mine. Hmmm." Blu suddenly gasped as he stood back up on his talons. "There's only one type of bird specious that also have dark blue feathers, and that's the Yellow and Blue Macaws."
###
Back at the Gangster hideout, the two Gangsters had tied up Jewel's body again and let her out of the cage. She tried to get free as they both held her still. Jewel growled at tried to bite them both. "Will you both just let me go?"
"Keep still, or you'll be in the cage again." the Gangster warned.
Jewel sighed in response as he looked at them both. "Ugh, fine."
The two Gangsters smirked before they saw Kate walk back into the room again with a smirk, and she was carrying, what looked like a Bird-sized knife, similar to the one Johnny had.
Jewel saw the knife and gulped. "Oh, no."
"Now, it's time." Kate said with a evil grin followed after.
"Not today!"
The four Birds turned their attention to the Club entrance/exit where they saw Blu standing there, with a grin and his wings folded. Jewel raised a big smile, happy to see her husband to the rescue. "Blu!"
Before Blu could get to her, Kate flipped up the knife and looked over at Jewel. "And now, it's time." Kate smirked, as she picked up the knife she was carrying and held it close to Jewel's chest.
"No, no, no, please!" Jewel begged, while quickly trying to squirm her away free.
Blu watched as Kate sliced the knife directly down onto Jewel's body and screamed: "NO!" while placing his wings over his eyes as he could not bear to watch the sight. Blu couldn't get to her in tight.
...
...
...
"Hey, why are you crying?" Kate asked.
Blu opened his eyes to see the ropes were cut free from Jewel, who didn't have a single mark on her. She was thankfully alive. Blu looked confused and looked over at Kate. "Huh?"
"Ok, you can go now." Kate granted, while gesturing a wing towards the the Club exit/entrance.
"Whatta mean I can go?" Jewel queried. "I thought you wanted to kidnap and kill me?"
"What? No, silly. Hehehe." Kate chuckled, while setting the knife back down on the ground. "You were just being punished."
"Punished? For what?" Jewel inquired.
"Well, a short-while ago you tied me up and left me here and used your friends singing to make me talk." Kate said, before she suddenly shuddered. "Ugh, the singing."
"So, what did I do exactly?" Jewel asked.
"You left me tied up there for 3 hours, so I just wanted to keep you here for 3 hours." Kate explained.
Jewel couldn't help but look more confused as she walked away from the two Gangsters and back over to her husband. Jewel turned back around to Kate with a curios face still. "So, that's it? This is not a kidnap or a revenge game?"
"Nope, just wanted to keep you here for 3 hours and that's it." Kate replied.
"Then, why the knife?" Jewel asked.
"I couldn't be bothered to untie the ropes myself. The knife just seemed quicker." Kate explained.
"Well, we better be going back home now." Jewel said, as she took Blu's wing in hers and began walking out of the Club and back to her home. "Come on, Blu."
"Coming." Blu replied, as he followed Jewel out of the Gangster Club. When he and his wife were out of the Club, Blu looked over at Jewel, who was still holding his wing in hers while they walked through the Jungle. "Jewel, why did you tie Kate up.?"
"When you got kidnapped by the Sentinel, I tied her up to get answers." Jewel answered.
"Wow, you really did a lot to save me, huh?" Blu said, smiling.
"Yeah, I love you, Blu, and I don't want you to get hurt." Jewel replied with a grin followed after. "I actual don't blame Kate for what she did. I guess it was my own fault."
"I suppose." Blu agreed as he and Jewel shared a quick kiss with each other. "Well, I think we should be going back home now."
"Agreed." Jewel agreed, while smiling.
The two lovebirds continued to walk through the Jungle (rather than fly) while holding each other's wings and enjoying the nice beautiful sky together. They both looked at each other with smiles and began to sing a short song to themselves.
Blu:
Say you,
Jewel:
say me
Blu and Jewel:
Say it for always, that's the way it should be
Say you, say me
Say it together, naturally
I had a dream I had an awesome dream
People in the park playing games in the dark
And what they played was a masquerade
And from behind of walls of doubt a voice was crying out
"Ah, I love my life in the Jungle." Blu said, before letting of a relaxed sigh.
"Me, too, Blu. Without you in my life, I had no purpose to say here, but even since I met you, I do." Jewel replied, smiling as the both shared another quick kiss with each other before continuing their journey home.
Kate has returned. Well, she didn't really do anything that bad. Oh, well, just another day in Rio. Stay tuned for chapter 9. Wow, I'm making long chapters again. I think this calls for celebration music.
Which way is right, which way is wrong,
How do I say that I need to move on?
You know we're heading separate ways.
And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
There's nothing I can really say.
I can't lie no more, I can't hide no more,
Got to be true to myself.
And it feels like I am just too close to love you,
So I'll be on my way.
Anyway, stay tuned for the next chapter, my Rio author's on FanFiction.
