Yeah, I'm trying to make my essay flawless(That's never gonna happen)
Blu turned around and saw Will slowly walked towards them. He was as scared as Jewel, Blu walked back slowly with his kids hiding behind him.
"HELP!" Blu yelled at Tulio for help as Tulio ran and grabbed Will from the back. Tulio struggles to hold Will in his hands but Will was too strong for Tulio since Tulio is really weak.
"LET ME GO!" Will yelled as he broke free from his hand and landed the ground. He quickly flew behind Tulio and made him fall on the ground. Will put his claw on Tulio's neck and felt his blood running inside his skin. He pushed his claw down and just wanted to rip his neck apart but decided to spare Tulio's life since Will used to be human.
Tulio gulped and pretended to be dead.
Will got off Tulio and took a paper and a pen on the table. He quickly wrote down something with a pencil in his claws. He didn't write as fast as human, but it was at least legible enough to read.
"Alright, mister, you are in some big trouble now." Linda came in trembling with a kitchen knife in her hand. She was also scared of an eagle but she had to face it or Blu and Jewel will be killed.
Will heard that he was going to be cut and quickly lifted the paper in his beak. Linda saw this and carefully read the words on it.
"WAIT STOP!"
Linda was surprised to see an eagle writing english on a card just like Blu. She carefully asked Will," Ok, what do you want?"
Will heard Linda and took out another paper on the desk. He took his time and wrote some more words down. "Good thing that I can still write and make that woman calm down."
Tulio got up and found that Will was writing on a piece of paper. He was just surprised as Linda was. Tulio stood up and picked up Blu, Jewel and three kids up to the bedroom.
Linda took the card after Will finished writing.
"MY NAME IS WILL, AND I DIDN'T COME HERE FOR HUNTING, I JUST WANTED TO SEE SOMEONE."
Linda put down her knife and said," Ok, I guess." She quickly led her guard down even though she should not have.
Will flew on Linda's shoulder and signaled her to go upstairs. Linda was still scared of him a little bit but started to trust him.
Tulio heard footsteps on the stairs and asked," Is everything ok, honey?"
"Yeah, the eagle just want to see someone." Linda said while walking up the stair.
"What? You can't just let him come in here, how do you know it's not hostile? He attacked me." Tulio refused to open the door.
"Well, you attacked him first." Linda is now standing outside the door.
"I guess so…" Tulio slowly opened the door and saw the eagle was on Linda's shoulder. He was astonished that Linda can get along with the eagle.
Tulio let Linda and Will in. Will immediately jumped off Linda's shoulder and landed in front of Jewel.
Jewel started to walk back as she was close to tearing," What do you want from me?"
"Hey, come on. I didn't mean to scare you, I just wanted to be friend with you." Will said but thought that it felt creepy.
"That's what he said before he tried to kill me." Jewel said with some obvious issues with a certain eagles.
"I'm not that bad. I just look dangerous. By the way, my name is Will." Will said as he took his wings out in front of him.
Blu came forward and shaked his wings, but he wasn't scared as Jewel. Blu said," Hi, I'm Blu."
"Blue? aren't you all blue?" Will asked like everyone else would.
"Yes, but without the E." Blu plainly explained.
"Oh, Blu, what a unique name." Will finally figure it out before turning to Jewel again," So… What's your name?"
"Jewel." Jewel answered Will and wiped a tear from her eyes.
"Nice name, like the jewel on a stone?" Will asked Jewel.
"Yes." She said before looking at Will again.
" Jewel, why are you scared of me then?" Will tried to figure out what was wrong with Jewel.
"Obviously you are an eagle, everybody in the forest fears your species." Blu explained the common sense to Will.
"But still, why do you have to panic that much when I just wanted to talked to you." Will decided to keep going.
"I have reasons!" Jewel yelled at Will's face before she burst into tear again.
"Will, look what you did." Blu blamed Will for making Jewel emotional.
"I'm sorry…" Will looked down as Jewel whispered out," I have reasons…"
"You can speak it out, Jewel, it will make you feel better." Blu tried to convince Jewel to speak about her past.
Jewel thought about it before she said," If you really want, I can share my experience with you guys."
Jewel's perspective
I woke up from my nest and found and got out of my hollow. I flew to the closest tree to pick up my favorite fruit, mango. I landed on a branch and closely examined the surface of each mango. All of them were perfect both in shape and size. I couldn't pick my favorite so I just plucked down a random mango and flew back to my hollow.
I wasn't even alert of my surrounding when I got back. The familiar place that I always lived has a somewhat strange feeling. It made my body shake in an uncontrollable way. "What is happening to me?" I thought as I shook my head. It was still there, this smell, so familiar yet it still was mixed with a new smell. I couldn't pick out exactly what was it. I carefully put down my breakfast and walked around the hollow. Everything was quiet, no bird chirping, nothing. The only thing I can hear is the leaves outside my moving with the wind. I felt it! It was there, but maybe I'm just being crazy. Yeah, that's it, I might just be too hungry. I picked up my mango again and cut it apart. There's nothing to be afraid of, I'm Jewel, there's nothing I'm scared of. I tried to convince myself as my back started to have this weird sensation that I couldn't bear. I suddenly turned around and was expecting something to pop right in front of my face. Quietness again… There was nothing but my nest lying on the middle of the hollow. I relaxed again and turned around. An eagle was right there. I was so close to him that I felt the the tip of his beak touching mine. It was at this moment I broke down. I screamed at the top of lung," AH!" Before I could say one more word, I was smacked by his wing and fell unconscious.
I woke in some kind of weird old abandoned human house. I quickly remembered what happened. That eagle brought me here," where am I?" I asked myself as I tried to move. My wings and talon was tied by something, I could tell it was vine because of its texture.
There was rusted metal everywhere. I was stuck on a table, a manmade table. water were dropping from the ceiling. It was already creepy enough until he came.
"I see that you've had some rest." The male eagle said to me while smiling.
"Who are you? Why am I here?" I tried to be calm but failed horribly. I looked like a kid lost in a mall at that moment. The eagle saw this and decided to play with me.
"Don't worry, my name is Erico, you are here for many reasons. First, you look pretty well fed with all that mango outside your house I see. Second, you are the most beautiful bird I've seen in awhile." Erico said with a sinister smile on his face.
I knew what he meant and gulped. The only thing I can do is hope that I can escape this place without getting touched.
After he left the room. I looked around again and saw bodies lying everywhere, both dead and alive. My heart pumped so fast that it hurts. I was so scared for the first time, and I'm certainly not going to come back to this place when I escape, but I can't even get out of here.
For the next few days, I've seen the worst thing that can happen to birds. Erico was big and brutal bird. That's how I see him. He didn't indescribable things to them. I tried not to watch them, but the sound still went through my ears and left scars in my brain. I vomited a few times just thinking about it. That monster didn't give me much food and water, but it was still better than eaten alive.
I felt my body slides down a little bit, and immediately woke up and looked around. There was no one. I'm the only one left alive, but something that I realized sparked a small hope in my heart. The vines were loose, and imagined being outside again, being free and feel the breeze of air slide through my feathers. I moved my body left to right trying to break the vines.
After a few minutes of struggling, the vine finally fell off and I was free. I felt so happy on the inside but it quickly faded away as Erico woke up and angrily looked at me.
"Get back here or I'll claw your face off." Erico said as he got up.
"Never!" I quickly ran to the exit and flew up in the air. I haven't fly in days, so my wings felt very sore when I opened it, but I still manage to get up in the air and flew at my normal speed. Erico quickly followed behind me and yelled," You asked for it, now you are gonna get it!"
I looked behind and saw him slowly catching up to me. I dived down into the forest and kept flying. This made some more distance between me and him. I soon felt tired since my stomach was empty, but I had no choice but to keep going. I didn't want to look behind because he might just be right behind me.
I flew for a few miles and quickly took a peek behind me, he was finally gone. I felt so happy but then suddenly fell unconscious.
I woke up in a hollow, for a second I thought that I was dreaming, but this isn't my hollow. I stomach groaned and told me to eat. I looked around and saw some blueberry lying on the ground. I didn't even hesitate to think about if it's safe to eat or not and put one in my mouth, I was so hungry that I basically put as much as I can in my mouth.
"Hey, you woke up." A female scarlet came in and put some more blueberries on the ground.
"Yeah… Thanks for the food." I said between bites.
"Don't eat too fast, you'll choke yourself." She said worriedly.
I swallowed the blueberries and asked her," What happened? How did you find me?"
"When I found you, you were lying on the ground, and then I decided to bring you back to my hollow. By the way, my name is Julia." The scarlet macaw named Julia said as I picked up another blueberry and started chewing on it.
"Wow, thanks Julia. My name's Jewel. You saved my life." I thanked her for saving me.
"Yeah, after all I got nothing to live for." Julia said looking down.
"What do you mean?" I stopped eating and asked her.
"No one likes me, I try to make friend with them and they just push me away. I don't feel that I'm essential for this world." Julia said as she just told her secret to a stranger and placed her talon on her neck.
"Stop it! Don't do this to yourself, you can't just die like that." I tackled Julia and looked at her in the eye.
"But I don't have want to live anymore, my life's miserable." Julia said as she cried out.
"Your life is not miserable, you can start it over if you really try." I tried to convince her to be positive.
I helped her and wiped the tear away from her eyes. I hugged her and said," Don't cry, I'm here for you."
"Thanks, I really needed someone to comfort me like that." Julia stopped crying and broke the hug.
After that we became best friend and always hung out with each other. We used to tell stories when we were bored. She wasn't very confident about her decision, maybe it was the reason that her friends left her because of that. I didn't care, I find this quite interesting when I joke around with her, but I still want her to be courages.
