Sorry for chapter 2 being so short. I realized that I was kind of lazy with it and I'm sorry bout that :/ Anywhoooo, here is chapter 3, hope you guys enjoy :D
Chapter 3
Blu looked super confused. Roberto was perfectly normal, like, 1 minute ago. Why was he acting so strange? "Roberto I honestly don't mind if you-" Blu was cut off as Roberto looked up and said "This is something you should know…I think. It's something with, well, Jewel." That was all it took to get Blu's full attention. "But what makes this a secret?" Blu asked. Roberto said "See, I am, like, REALLY not supposed to tell you. I wasn't going to tell you but, you ARE Jewel's mate, as well as part of the family, so…" Blu looked at Roberto with a serious look. "So what is it?" Blu asked.
"Well…see, for the first thing, Eduardo didn't always hate humans. He actually liked them a lot and was actually domesticated, like you."
"Wait, Eduardo was domesticated?"
"Yup. He was always a hypocrite about the subject. See, he was held in captivity ever since he was a chick. It was him and another guy, my father. Eduardo loved humans and being with them, and didn't want to leave them. But, they kept on telling him that it would be good and everything would be alright, and soon he finally left, along with my father. He was trained before hand on surviving out in the Amazon and after a while, met a lovely girl. Soon they had a child, Jewel obviously, and when my dad found someone, he had me. We had a nice little arrangement, and me and Jewel became very close, even though we were pretty young. Then my parents gave me a little brother that I and Jewel loved a LOT. So everything was good until…" Roberto trailed off and had a sad look on him once again. Blu just stood there, paying attention to every word coming out from his mouth.
"Until one day, my dad and Eduardo decided to take me and Jewel out to see the Amazon. Just some sight-seeing as their mates were having some girl-talk with my little bro. As we were sight-seeing, however, we noticed a lot of birds flying, like they were escaping. A lot of birds started flying, screaming "Smugglers!" We realized that was where mine and Jewel's mom were, so we quickly flew over. When we went there, they…" Again, Roberto looked down, but it was as if he was going to cry. "It was…horrible. Everyone was…dead. Eduardo and my dad started crying, telling us to look away. Jewel and I started crying, too. We looked around and we couldn't find my little bro anywhere. He was so young…" Roberto had tears flowing down his cheek, but he didn't sob.
"We didn't do anything wrong…we were just kids. Ever since then, Eduardo hated humans. My dad didn't hate humans as much because he knew that smugglers were bad, but Eduardo doesn't care. He felt betrayed by them, he felt lied too. They told him everything was going to be okay, but they lied. Getting older, me and Jewel started dating, but we soon realized we weren't going to work out. Shortly afterwards, Jewel was captured by them as well, and Eduardo just couldn't handle himself. My dad felt horrible, but Eduardo just couldn't take it. If I weren't there to comfort him, he probably would have killed himself. We all suffered so much. That's when we gathered all the other macaws we could find and went into hiding. We all knew the pain. We felt like cowards. We hid in the Amazon, always moving from one place to another. If we even saw a human, we retreated. Blu…you'll NEVER know how it felt. To be at their mercy. The humiliation of being…caged. They took it all from us. Mimi always shone hope onto us, which helped in a way. Then when Jewel returned, it was like a ray of hope. In all honesty, Eduardo could care less of you're a little awkward and weird. What he really doesn't like about you is the fact that you were friends with them. In a way, he feels bad for you. Eduardo lost everything moving from captivity into the wild. He doesn't want the same to happen to you or his daughter. Please don't take it personally how he treats you." And in what seemed like forever, Roberto finally ended his story. Blu just stood there, shocked. Who knew that he and Jewel shared such a dark past? Now all the hate Blu had toward everyone just turned into sorrow. They've been through so much, who was he to have a grudge toward them? "Roberto, I'm so sorry." Blu uttered. "It's okay. I mean, we have Jewel back right? And now Eduardo even has his own grandchildren."
"Did you ever find your brother?" Blu asked.
Roberto didn't answer. He looked at the ground. "B…Blu…" he muttered. He looked up at him, forcing the words out of his mouth. "I…I…oh god, how do I say this? I…I think you're my brother!"
…
…
…
…
"Whoa whoa whoa, what? You think I'm…your BROTHER?" Blu stuttered.
"Blu, my brother looked exactly like you. Orange eyes, dark feathers. You also have the same 3 feathers on your head that my dad has. I remember my mom always saying to my dad that he looked just like him. "No, no, no, you got it all wrong. I was…" Blu paused. He remembered that day at the samba club with Jewel, Rafael, and everyone. Right before he danced, it was like time stopped. He saw himself as a chick, dancing in front of the exit of a nest. It was fuzzy, but he remembered it looked like a jungle. He was a Spix's after all; he couldn't have been born in America, Minnesota especially. Is it possible? Could it actually be that Roberto is his brother? Could he have been born in Rio? No, impossible. How is he to believe that after all these years of separation, he found his family? "I…I…" Blu tried to make a sentence, but he couldn't find the words. He just stared at Roberto, who stared back. "Please, let me take you to my dad. A parent never forgets his own child, r-right?" Roberto offered. Blu hesitantly nodded and they both flew pretty fast. It's impossible, there's no way. It can't be Blu thought as they both flew to Roberto's dad's nest. When they got there, Roberto's dad was in deep sleep. "…Dad." Roberto said, but his father still snored. "Dad?" he said louder, but to no avail. Roberto went to his dad's ear. "DAAAAAAAD?!" The bird shot up in the air, screaming some random gibberish. "W-what are you doing, Roberto?! I could've-" his father paused. He looked at Blu. Don't tell me… Blu thought. Roberto's dad just walked over to him. Roberto was right. Blu and him didn't look much different, however Roberto's dad was a lighter shade of Blue. However, his eyes were orange and he had the 3 feathers Roberto mentioned. Blu just stared at him nervously.
"S…..S-S-Son?"
