It has only been a few days since the Herd arrived at Hyrax Island, it took Shira a while to get used to living with the Herd. Diego tried his hardest to make Shira comfortable in her new family and home, but it was hard considering her stubborn personality.
"So how are you doing after a few days with the Herd?" Diego asked as he walked up behind Shira who was watching Peaches and the others playing around.
Shira jumped after hearing Diego's voice, "Oh sorry, did I scare you Kitty?"
She chuckled, "Shut up softie, but.. It's been nice, I guess."
"Why, what's wrong?"
"Well I'm always on the sea with the crew so I'm not really used to being here,"
"Don't worry kitty, you'll be fine, and besides! You have us to turn to if there're any problems!"
"Thanks Diego," She smiles at Diego, he smiles back.
They were lost in each other's eyes until Diego decided to talk, "Well I'll be with the Herd, call me when you need me." he said as Shira nodded.
Shira was still sitting on top of a hill gazing at the sky, but then below, she saw something move, she stood up and got tense.
"Who's there?" she growled.
A saber popped out of the jungle, but it wasn't Diego, but another male.
"Sorry to intrude, I'm a bit lost.. I got washed up shore since my ship or iceberg fell apart." the sabre said.
"Who are you?" shira asks.
"Oh, the names Jacob! Who might you be?"
"Shira,"
"Man how great it is to see another sabre! Haven't seen one of our kind since the drift!"
Shira just stood there confused, Jacob noticed this.
"Oh sorry! I get that we just met and I'm already getting too chatty,"
"Oh no it's okay! At least I finally have someone to actually talk to!" she thought about Diego but he wasn't really the talkative type of sabre.
"Well would you like something to eat? I just happened to be finished hunting before I found a beauty such as yourself!"
Shira blushed hearing this, she's never talked to a flirtatious sabre.
"Actually no, I actually have a Herd. I bet they already have food ready. Would you like to meet them?"
"Why sure why not!"
They walked through the forest and arrived with the Herd. Everyone looked at Jacob and Shira.
"Hey everyone. I just met another sabre his name is Jacob." Shira announced.
"Good afternoon everyone!" Jacob sounded as cheerful as ever.
Everyone admired his cheerfulness and welcomed him to the Herd, except for Diego.
"Who is that guy Shira?" Diego asked with an angry tone.
Shira just laughed at him, "Someone is angry! Calm down, he just got lost and became an outcast like most of us, so why not let him join?"
Diego just sighed and rolled his eyes after walking away.
After introducing himself to everyone, Jacob started telling stories about his life, and it was sure interesting because everyone gathered around to hear it, even Shira. Shira was really starting to like Jacob after hearing what he has been through. Jacob told stories about leaving his pack similar to the two other sabres, fighting sirens.. What could he not do? Diego just thought of all this as just a hoax and he's making it all up.
After they finished eating dinner they all went to sleep. All 3 sabres were in their different places. But Jacob was closer to Shira than Diego was. Shira and Jacob though kept talking, Diego watched as he got even more jealous. Jacob just kept flirting with her, Diego just let out a grunt and slept it off.
The next morning Diego woke up to a sound. Everyone was still asleep… Until he saw Jacob swiftly moving into the forest. Diego followed quietly making sure he wouldn't get caught. Jacob arrived at a large cave, Diego heard more than one voice, he heard voices low and high, he quietly walked up and peeked.. His body started to tremble at what he saw…
Oh no..
