Chapter 20: Worst Fears

It was morning in the Amazon and Blu woke up early to see his parents. Jewel was still sleeping peacefully next to him and his three children were sleeping too. Blu got up and flew down to a small pond where he washed his face and got a quick bite to eat and than made his way to his parents' home, happy to see with his mom and dad again.

But when Blu got to his parents' home, they were not there.

"They must have gotten up and are looking for food." Blu thought.

But than Blu saw some writing on the floor and when he read it, Blu thought he was going to have a heart attack.

The message read. "Hello pretty bird, if you ever want to see your parents again, than come to this spot and come alone, from your old foe Nigel."

Blu was filled with mixed emotions of anger and sadness in him. Blu quickly got himself back together again and made his decision. He was going to save his parents, alone, and he was going to do it, even if it meant trading his life for theirs.

Blu, however, decided to make one quick stop before he would go to save his parents.

Blu flew back home, where he hoped Jewel and the kids were still sleeping, which they were. Blu took one last look at his family, and his eyes soon started filling with tears. He did not want to involve his family with this issue and see them getting hurt. Blu hated to admit it, but Nigel telling him to come alone was actually good advice.

"I love you guys, if I don't come back, know I will always love you." Blu said softly before taking a deep breath, wiping away the tears and flying off.

Soon after Blu left, Jewel woke up to find Blu gone.

"Probably went to see his parents." Jewel thought. "Maybe I should go too, I have not seen his parents in awhile."

Jewel than flew to Blu's parents, not knowing the whole ordeal that happened overnight and Blu finding out and going to save them.

Meanwhile Blu got to the spot where his parents and Nigel were, but he only saw his parents.

"Mom, dad." Blu said in a scared tone. "What happened?"

David and Sarah had cuts and bruises all over their bodies and they were tied to a tree. David and Sarah were barely conscious when Blu arrived, but they had enough energy to tell Blu something.

"Son, run." David said weakly.

Before Blu could reply, something hit him in the back of the head and Blu blacked out. It was Nigel with a branch and as soon as Blu fell, Nigel's smile grew ever bigger.
