CHAPTA SEVEN PPLZ! Let me just clear up some things first. Firstly, I did NOT steal Jeff117's OC. Daniel is a blue and gold macaw while Jeff's Daniel is a Scarlet (I think). If he is a blue and gold macaw then….idk. All I know is that I did not copy his character at ALL and the fact that they are both named Daniel is just a coincidence (Daniel isn't such an uncommon name). Secondly, I indeed read all the reviews you guys give me and I thank you guys for them. Reviews always make me more confident and just give me an overall warm feeling inside :D.

Heads up before we get in this, there is going to be some bloody scenes here. When I say bloody, I mean BLOODY! As in if you don't like seeing babies killed in a vulgar way, don't read! Also, there might be an Attack on Titan similarity in this chapter (for those who don't know the show, WATCH IT!) like when Eren lost his mother. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Anywhoozies, let Chapter 7 commence!

Chapter 7

Daniel P.O.V

Screaming. That was all I heard. Smoke surrounded me like a blanket. My lungs hurt. I was sweating and my heart was pumping fast. Just try to find her was all I could think about. She isn't dead. I flew through the torched forest, dodging the birds flying for their lives. She isn't dead. She isn't dead. She isn't dead. SHE ISN'T DEAD!

1 hour earlier (Third Person)

"Sweetie, I have to go. I am so sorry" Daniel sadly said to his wife, Risa. Risa looked at him with puppy eyes "Really? Can't you stay, for me?"

Daniel smiled, but then said "Sweetie you know I have to go. I'm on early patrol! Our leader is going to be pissed if I don't come!"

"Don't give me that! You are his best, you can take a day off whenever you wish and you know that!" Risa replied, with a hint of humor in her voice.

"Come on, I am too dedicated to skip a day! It'll only be for an hour, promise!"

"Alright sweetie, just hurry back!" Risa said in a fruity voice. Daniel then grabbed her and placed a kiss gently on her lips. God how he loved her. Just as he was about to take flight, he was tackled by his 3 kids. "DADDY!" All 3 of them screamed as they jumped on him. Damion, Cory, and Siren. 2 boys and 1 girl. "Be back soon daddy! You promised us you would go swimming!" Damion, the oldest, said. Cory and Siren both replied with a "Yeah!" Daniel chuckled. "Daddy has to work, though. Don't worry guys, when I come back I swear to god we are going to swim until we become fish!" They all shared a brief chuckle, and he took off. Risa and the kids waved back at him with smiles. If only they knew.

Daniel did the classic patrol routines, checked supplies, etc. After an hour, he flew back home, eager to show his family the art of swimming, as his human companion once taught him. He was so excited, and couldn't wait to get back to them all. Then…

BOOM!

An ear-shattering explosion was heard. Daniel got scared and almost hit the floor, but he soon got in control and flew up. He flew past the trees to see what was happening. All he could see was smoke rising….from where his family was. Oh no….

Back to Present Time….

As he was looking through the smoke, he found his family's tree…or what was left of it. The tree was tumbled to the ground, the top of it burning. Under the tree…was Risa. Daniel's eyes flew wide open. "RISA!" He shouted as he flew to his mate. She was laying under the tree, her talons and one wing caught under it. Risa looked up, covered in smoke and bruises. Daniel landed beside her. "Risa, where are the kids?!" Daniel shouted. Risa started crying, and that was when Daniel saw it. In front of him…..

They died. Not a regular kind of death, a gruesome death. Damion's lower jaw was ripped, blood and organs dangling out of his mouth. His wings were broken, and the bone could be seen popping out in multiple directions. Cory's guts were spilled all over him. His ribcage was exposed, broken and battered, covered in blood. His beak was completely torn off, and he had several burns on his body. Siren's eyes were out of their sockets, blood coming out of them. She had severe burns all over her body. She was mostly black, and the very few patches of skin that were spared consisted of no feathers, only skin. The sight burned into Daniel's mind like a bad scar. He soon started to bawl his eyes out. He was shouting out of horror, sorrow, and shock. They were just chicks…they didn't do anything wrong. He heard Risa crying just like he was. Daniel started to feel something come up from his gut, and slowly enter his mouth. Daniel vomited all over the floor. After he was done, he just stood there in shock and sadness.

He looked at Risa. "R-risa! I-I got t-to get you o-out of t-there!" Daniel stuttered. Risa looked at him, using her only good wing (which was still covered in some burns) and grabbed him. "You have to leave Daniel!" Risa shouted. Daniel started pushing the giant log to free Risa, but to no avail. He ignored her cries as he continued to push. Risa screamed with all her might "DANIEL!"

"I'm not leaving without you Risa! I lost the kids and I won't lose you!"

"Daniel you have to leave!"

"THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO FUCKING DO! AND I AM NOT GOING TO UNTIL YOU ARE OUT OF HERE!" Daniel screamed. Risa started crying hysterically. "DANIEL! MY WINGS AND TALONS ARE BROKEN AND BURNT! EVEN IF YOU COULD FREE ME I COULDN'T MOVE AND-"

"I'LL FUCKING CARE YOU THEN!"

"WHY CAN'T YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME AND STOP MAKING THIS HARDER!" Risa cried. Soon, Daniel was lifted up by an unknown force. Daniel realized that it was a hunter. "Look, we got a male! Good shape too!" the hunter said. He dangled Daniel behind his back like a sack of potatoes. Then what Daniel saw next was unforgettable. A hunter picked Risa up, and eyed her like a painting. "Female, burnt and severely injured. She's useless." The other hunter said. He reached behind him and grabbed a knife. All Daniel could do was hear Risa's screams intertwine with his own. To the human, it was only a few sqawks, but to Daniel, the words stung him like a bee. Risa pleaded and pleaded for her life. "PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! I DON'T WANT TO DIE! PLEASE DON'T DO THIS!" All Daniel could do was scream as well. "DON'T KILL HER! SHE'S ALL I HAVE LEFT YOU FUCKING MONSTERS! WE DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" As much as they both pleaded, the end came anyway…

With a horrifying sound of a knife meeting flesh, Risa's stomach was sliced. Her guts as well as blood spilled all over. She was dead, in every sense of the word. All Daniel could do was watch in horror as his reason for living was tossed on the floor as if she was a toy that got boring. He just watched. Horrified…scared….sad. In a mere hour, everything he had to live for was taken away. A family love that took years to grow, was ripped away from them. And for doing what? Nothing. His family was slaughtered right in front of his very eyes, and he could do nothing to stop it. Daniel muttered only 4 small words

Please don't hate me…
