Thanks for the review.
Will slowly opened his eyes and found out that he's on top of a tree. He was immediately blinded by the bright sunlight that Rio always has.
He quickly knew that it was middle of the day with the sun right above his head. Will shook his head and regained his consciousness, then he thought everything that he needed to do in order to "survive in the jungle". Even though it was just the start of his new life, he wanted to quit. He doesn't want to be a bird anymore," Why me? I have so much to do to survive, and God doesn't even give me any guide or hint for me to start."
But then he looked on the bright side," Everything has a start, I can learn if I have to. I maybe need help from others, but I can take care of myself, I've learned everything about nature, and besides, I'm an eagle, everyone is scared of me, so there is nothing to worry about." Will thought about the first thing he has to do. His stomach suddenly "complained" to him that it was hungry and needs food.
"Hmm, what do eagles eat? Fish, mammal and birds I believe so…" Will thought as he flew above the forest. He decided to go with fish or other small animal since he doesn't have much hunting experience.
On his way to the beach, Will saw some decaying animals lying on the ground which considered a meal for most bald eagles, but Will doesn't like the feeling of eating rotten food. He considered them as disgusting and poisonous, of course, that was his human perspective so he decided to eat fish instead because of its highly concentrated amount of protein which will surely keep him alive for a few days.
"Well, here I am, flying over the sea finding fish." Will said to himself as he tries to catch a fish with his razor sharp claws. Will tried his best to predict the fish's movement but failed horribly since he had no idea he was supposed to go down the water and catch them.
After half hour of trying he gave up and said," Come on fish, can't you just swim slower so I can catch you, geez." But then he saw a ship in the corner of his eye, then Will turned around and saw a fishing vessel. "I'm so tired right now, maybe I can rest on that ship for a while and keep trying." Will thought as he flew on top of the ship.
The crew on the vessel seemed to not notice the eagle that just landed on their ship and dumped a huge pile of fish in their tank. Will saw the fishes being poured into the tank and thought," Perfect, maybe I can snatch one of those fish and feed myself." He looked down at the tank and tried to catch a chance to steal their fish while they are not looking.
"Any more in this area?" The man that seemed to be the captain asked.
"Not much, sir." One of the crew answered.
"Then sail it to another area, and take a break if you want to." The captain said as he took out a cigarette and walked inside the vessel followed by his crews.
"Alright, here's my chance." Will thought as he flew down immediately after the last crew entered the boat. He successfully grabbed a fish and flew as high as he can.
"Eagle!" A crew discovered Will's presence and shouted.
"Shoot it down, the skin is worth a lot." The greedy Captain said as he took out a gun and aimed at Will.
Even though Will understands English, they were speaking Portuguese, so he couldn't understand what they are saying, but he still manages to know that they were talking about him. He flew faster as he heard a gunshot and a bullet fly past him.
"Ahh, don't shoot me!" Will yelled and looked back.
It was too far for the captain and the crews to kill and retrieve the eagle's skin, so they gave up and swore at him in portuguese.
Will got his meal and found his way back to the forest. "I'm gonna enjoy my lunch now" Will thought on his way back. He was still thinking about things in human ways since there is no "lunch" in the eagle perspective.
In another part of the jungle was a blue macaw family having a picnic in a random part of the jungle. The male blue macaw that we all love, Blu, was digging his new favorite food, mango.
Jewel felt full and asked everyone," Is everyone full now, because I have to go visit one of my friend."
Blu looked up with his mouth full of food and asked," Wtreuginkombk?"
"What?" Jewel didn't quite understand what he said," say it again?"
Blu swallowed his mango and repeated," I said, When are you going to come back?"
"Oh, well, I'm going to be back in home before sunset. Is that alright with you?" Jewel replied to Blu.
"Yeah, sure. We are going to Linda's house anyways today, just come and pick us up if you are done, I'll be waiting there." Blu answered to Jewel.
"Ok then, I'll see you later." Jewel said as she kissed Blu on the Beak and flew away to her friend's hollow.
"Well, your mother's gone. Let's head to Linda's house and have some Hot chocolate and cookies." Blu said to his three kids.
"Yay!" The three said in unison.
Jewel flew for some time and found her friend's hollow. She entered it and saw her friend sleeping in the nest alone.
"Hey, Julia. It's me, Jewel, wake up." Jewel whispered to a female bird.
She was a female Scarlet macaw named Julia. She had bright red feather and orange feather on her back. Her wings had dark blue feathers spread all the way around her back. Her beak was grey like most Scarlets. She had black talon just like Jewel, and had a mixture of indigo and red color on her tailfeather.
"Who woke me up?" Julia said rubbing her eyes. After she saw who it is she jumped on Jewel and happily said," Jewel, Where have you been? You just said you would be away for a month. I thought you were dead." Julia said as she led down a tear," I missed you so much, Jewel."
"It's ok now, I'm here." Jewel tried to comforted Julia in her wings," I was away for that long time is because I found my own kind, I kinda needed to stay there because I was reunited with my family again, and I wanted to spend some childhood time that I missed with them."
"Oh, congratulation Jewel, that's great for you." Julia commented on Jewel.
"So, what about you? What happened while I was gone?" Jewel asked Julia.
"Well, I followed your suggestion and tried to pick up some guys, and it worked! I found myself a boyfriend!" Julia Squealed with happiness as Jewel looked at her proudly," Wow, really? What's he like?" Jewel then asked.
"Well, he's tall, muscular, handsome, caring and smart." Julia said all these compliment on her boyfriend.
"Well, that's great. You must've…" Jewel was interrupted by a voice.
"Hey, Julia, I got breakfast for you, it's more like lunch but… Wait… Who's this?" A male Scarlet macaw examined Jewel and asked.
"Oh, hey Lucas. Meet my friend that I've always talked about, Jewel." Julia introduced Jewel to her boyfriend Lucas.
Lucas was a male scarlet macow. He had crimson and yellow feather around his back. His eyes were black as space. His foot were black just like Julia. The color azure runs down to the tip of his wing from his back and tail feathers. His beak was a bit more white than Julia's.
"Hi, nice to meet to you Jewel, I've always heard Julia say things about you. She really care about you." Lucas greeted Jewel as he putted down the food.
"Nice to meet you too, Lucas." Jewel smiled as she sat down with them," Anyways, how did you guys meet?"
"Oh, It's a long story to tell…" Lucas said as he peeled the skin off a papayas.
Just as Lucas was tell a story, an eagle flew in with a fish in its claw. They were all surprised and at the same time terrified at this creature's presence.
"S**t, It's an eagle." Julia whispered and slowly moved to a corner of the hollow and in hope that the eagle wouldn't see them, Jewel and Lucas did the same.
"Well, this hollow seemed to be unoccupied." Will thought as he had no idea that there is a nest right in front of face. He began to cut the fish in part and started eating some of it.
After a few minutes of eating, Will finished and threw the bones down the tree. He returned and found that three macaws stared at him terrifyingly.
"Oh, hey guys. Is this your hol…" Will was trying to be polite but all three macaw just flew straight out of the exit like they were going to die.
"RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!" The blue macaw shouted as she departed from two other scarlet macaw.
"Wait, where are you guys going? Don't be scared. We can be friends." Will tried to get blue macaw's attention but she just straightly flew for her life.
Will immediately followed her to see where she was going," WAIT UP!" Will shouted to the blue macaw and he had no idea why she was running away from him.
Jewel was scared to the point that she was shaking. The only thing she had in mind was her body being torn apart by an eagle. She couldn't imagine dying that early.
"PLEASE STOP CHASING ME! I HAVE KIDS TO RAISE STILL!" She soon regretted that because she thought that the eagle was going to kill her then go after her kids.
The eagle was slowly catching up to Jewel, but she then saw Linda's house. Jewel flew straight into the house and with her quick maneuverability, she grabbed on to the window handle and shutting it on her way in leaving the eagle outside.
The eagle saw this and tried to slow down but it was too late. It slammed his head on the window and made a big noise.
"What's that sound?" Linda got up from her newspaper and saw Jewel lying and panting on the ground. Linda saw this and quickly called Tulio down," TULIO!"
"Yeah? What's the matter? What happened?" Tulio woke up and putted on his glasses.
Blu and his kids all ran for Jewel to see her panting with her heart beating loud enough that they all heard it.
"Are you okay Jewel? What happened?" Blu quickly comforted Jewel and helped her stand up.
"There...was...an...eagle...chasing me…" Jewel hardly manages to say the words between her breath.
"An eagle?" That's pretty rare to see, I only saw that once in Rio." Blu was surprised that there was an eagle chasing after Jewel, and still manages to escape.
After Jewel's breath was steady enough to talk, she began to explain everything,"I was at Julia's hollow, and I…"
Will's head still stings after that bump. "Ugh, that hurts, what did I do wrong, was I too aggressive?" He thought and went to the front door. Will knock the door two times with his beak to see if someone lets him in.
"I need to apology to that bird." Will thought as he rubbed his head with his wings.
The door was opened by a woman and Will just flew right in.
Will looked around as the woman behind her just saw him walk in. She tried to catch him, but he just flew all the way to the living room and saw 5 blue macaws together.
"That's definitely her family." Will thought as walked straight towards them.
Things are getting real... Anyways, leave a review
