Im back with Season 2. If you haven't read Season 1 (Shira and Diego Forever), I recommend you read it. Otherwise you will be lost in the sauce. Please note that I do not own any of these characters. I apologize for taking so long with Season 2. I made Season 1 directly after Ice Age 4 came out, I fell in love with Shira as a character and her relationship with Diego. Season 2 hopefully you guys will enjoy. I received so many positive comments about my story, Im so glad you guys enjoy so much. I will try to post 1 chapter everyday. Maybe 7 chapters in this season maybe 10... who knows. I will say this tho. This series is strictly about Diego and Shira. So i apologize for those who wish to read about Manny, Sid, Ellie, Crash, Eddie, Granny, Peaches, Julian, Buck, etc. They probably will be mentioned, but don't expect too much from them. Lastly, Season 3 will come after Ice Age 6. Fingers crossed Ice Age 6, Shira and Diego are either pregnant or have kids already. I hope she gets pregnant. Then It'll be like Ice Age 3, everybody's looking out for Shira when shes pregnant. A movie about them/her is a dream. They better keep Dennis Leary and DEFINITELY KEEP JENNIFER LOPEZ. No one else can play Shira. No one else better play Shira. I will complain to somebody.. idk who, but i will. Eventually

XD I apologize for rambling. Just thought I should speak my mind a little. If you agree with me please leave a review. If not, well still i'd appreciate feedback on this story. Without further ado, Season 2...

Chapter 1

The forest is a beautiful and peaceful place at night. The moon shines its bright light over the earth lighting up its beautiful features. The leaves on the trees reflect the moons brightness and lights up ever so slightly. The rivers, lakes, and ponds reflect the nights image in a way that you'd think that you would be swimming with the stars. The wind whistles ever so softly though the trees and dances over the open field. Nothing to be heard but the quiet sounds of the insects, and the whispers of the wind.

On this cool and chilly night, our three saber-tooth tigers are fast asleep inside a mountain-side cave, well big enough for three sabres to live in, possibly more. The bottom of the cave is floored with the softest of smooth green grass, the walls are coated with lime green leaves, and thick vines. Right outside the cave, a body of water is conveniently present. They couldn't have picked a better location or cave to reside in. Its been a couple of months since the sabres were attacked by Lenny. Due to Lenny's "final words of wisdom," they all thought it was best to try an avoid another fight. Especially with Diego being severely hurt at the moment. They ran miles away from their old cave in search of another that was a safe distance from all the danger. Eventually finding this one.

Presently, Diego's injuries have healed up pretty nicely as he sleeps nuzzled up with the love of his life. Shira has never been happier. She is reunited and living with her annoying yet still loving and protecting big brother Shane. She also is grateful that Diego wounds were able to heal and that he is back to his old self again. She is able to sleep with a more than satisfied facial expression as she sleeps nuzzled up with the love of her life. Shane, even though his pack is out to get him, still misses how everything used to be. Sleeping in his old cave. Going out with his friends to hunt. Not having to have killed who used to be his friend, Lenny. Shane misses it all, but he doesn't regret a thing that he did. His number one job in the world, as soon as she was born, was to look out for and protect is younger sister. No matter what. Even if it means, turning his back on everyone back home. He knows that the leader of the pack Tony has sentenced them all to death because of the murder of his brother Soto. He understands that his fate and his sisters fate are due to Diego's actions. But instead of blaming and fighting Diego for getting his sister and him involved, he sees Diego as family. Family means that you stick together no matter what. My problems are your problems and your problems are mine. He has accepted this truth and currently lives to do only one thing, protect his younger sister at all costs. Shane has is own little patch of soft grass in the back corner of the cave where he sleeps. Our three sabres are living peacefully... at the moment.

A gust of cool wind suddenly flows deep inside the cave, moving the blades of grass, making the leaves dance, and swinging the vines. The fur on the back of Shane's neck rises as he begins to shiver. He slowly wakes from this cool breeze, as he lets out a quiet yawn. Not wanting to wake the 2 sabres, he quietly stretches in a cat-like fashion and exits the cave. He walks over to the small pond and licks the surface. After satisfying his thirst, he looks at his reflection in the water. I enjoy being with my sister again. After all these years of not seeing her, being able to actually live with her is great. Im grateful for the sabre shes in love with. Diego seems like a hard-ass but in actuality he really is a big softie. Why does he hate being called softie. His reactions are priceless. Maybe kitty is the only one who can call him that and not get the 'your death is coming soon' look from him. Kitty gives me that same look when I call her kitty. I don't love annoying them but, its just fun being involved every once in a while. I feel if i don't include myself in their life, ill be like a boring neighbor or something. Im living the third-wheel life. Its not like im going to be running into any female sabres anytime soon. Oh well. Wait, hold on. Is this really happening? Did i really wake up this early just to look at myself at the lake and to talk to myself? Why am I up so early thinking about this stuff? Its weird. Im probably just tired. Im also hungry. Maybe i can find a small animal thats dumb enough to be wandering alone at night. With that thought, Shane wanders off from the cave to look for prey. Trying to catch a scent, he sniffs the ground. Wait a minute. Now im one of the dumb animals wandering around at night. Oh well, I wish animal would try to eat me. It would be the first time my food came to me. Shane chuckled to himself as he continued to look for food.

Meanwhile at the cave... Shira's head is rested softly on the side of Diego's arm. Diego's body is pressed up against Shira's side. With their bodies warming each other up during this chilly night, the two sabres sleep peacefully. The forest suddenly became unusually quiet. The sounds of the insects, the whistling of the wind, not a single sound could be heard. Suddenly the snapping of a twig caused Diego's ears to flick up, and open his eyes. He tenses up his body and he lets out a low growl surveying the area and the entrance of the cave with his golden glowing eyes. Shira yawns as she is awakened by Diego's tensed body and growl. "Its still night Diego, why are you up?" "I thought I heard something, probably nothing but not taking any chances. Try and go back to sleep ill be right back," Diego says as he stretches and walks toward the entrance of the cave. Shira rolls her eyes at Diego's actions and goes back to sleep. He looks at the forest from inside the cave, he doesn't wish to leave Shira's side or let her out of his sight, especially after what happened last time. While looking he hears and sees a sudden shake in a bush. Diego lets out a small growl as he directs his full attention to the bush. "Coming out of those bushes is going to be the dumbest thing you've ever done. It will also be the last thing you ever do," Diego angrily says as he lowers his body prepared to take down whatever comes out of the bush."Oh really? I seriously doubt that Diego," the figure said in a villainous tone as he emerged from the bushes.

Diego's facial expression went from angry to raged as he vocally and very aggressively roars, baring his fangs at the now visible animal. It was an orange sabre, same color as Diego, very big and muscular. Shira's eyes suddenly bolted open as she awakes to Diego's sees Diego in a defensive position at the cave's entrance. "I don't know who you are, how you know my name, or how you found us, but i couldn't care less. Turning around and forgetting you ever saw this place is your best option. Diego fiercefully states. "You seriously think threatening me will work? After I came all this way. Or should I say, after we came all this way," the sabre says with a smirk on his face. Suddenly 5 more sabres emerge from the bushes. Every last one of them baring their fangs, growling, and eyes set directly on Diego. Shira runs up to Diego's side and gasps. Her expression then turns to anger as she bares her fangs also. "Probably nothing Diego?," Shira says eyeing Diego from the corner of her eye. "Not the time to be nagging me Shira, we need to come up with a plan," Diego states. "No, i just figured we just sit here and look at them until they go away, Shira says irritably. Diego rolls his eyes and focuses on his target. "Just who are you and what do you want?" Diego asks. The sabre laughs," You just said you didn't care. Now you do? I'm assuming your just trying to buy time. I mean seriously, what other pack of sabres is after you? Ill humor you though," The sabres voice progressively became deeper and vicious," My brother was the leader of your pack, and you killed him. Soto died by your hands. You know why im here, You know who i am, and You know what about to happen. Do you really want to try and fight your way through this one Diego?" Diego growls as he looks at the sabre. "Tony...," He says aggressively under his breath.

"Diego, whats the plan," Shira asks quietly never breaking eye contact with the sabres. "Run inside the cave, wake Shane and the 2 of you take off. Ill hold them off as long as i can." A look of concern overwhelms Shira's face," Diego, you know thats the dumbest thing i have ever heard. And Shane says a lot of dumb things. Im not leaving you again. We are in this together." Diego wants to tell her to do what he says because its not up for debate but he knows just how stubborn she is. "Shane wake up and get out here. We've got company!," Shira yells. After not hearing a response, she turns her head toward the cave, only to see hes not there. "SHANE!," Diego yells. "He's not here!," Shira says to Diego. Tony chuckles," Shane? I'd figure thats the last person on earth you guys would want to be relying on right now." "What are you talking about," Diego says angrily. Tony still chuckling," You three are the only ones that knew of your current whereabouts. Did any of you see Shane leave? How else do you think we would've found this place? Shira's eyes widened with fear," No, you're lying. He wouldn't". Diego growls. "He apparently missed home so much, that he was willing to sacrifice your whereabouts just so id accept him back into the pack," Tony states. Tony then sticks his head in the bush and bites something towards the bottom. He then drags out for all to see. Shira and Diego's eyes widened with horror. Shane's torn, bloody, lifeless, corpse laid there right in front of there eyes.

Tears began to fall from Shira's face as she looked at her brothers mutilated body. "SHANE!," Shira screams as she bares her fangs and roars loudly. "I guess he just didn't understand me when i said, he was doomed to die along with you all," Tony states as he smiles at his sister. Diego realizes that Tony is trying to bait Shira out to attack. "SHIRA! Don't let him get to you. He is going to pay for what he did to Shane. But jumping out there isn't going to bring him back!," Diego states vocally. Shira turns to Diego," Don't let him get to me? DON'T LET HIM GET TO ME? HE KILLED MY BROTHER. HE MURDERED SHANE!. He just tosses my brothers body out in front of me. And you tell me, not to let him get to me?," Shira says ferociously. Diego realizes that no matter what he said, it wouldn't stop her from trying to kill Tony. "Wow you look pissed. It's Shira... right? Well, just in case you wanted to know. Just before he told me your exact whereabouts he begged for a deal. He told me that if i didn't harm you and you alone, and if i let you and himself back into the pack, he would give me Diegos position. He said he blames Diego for putting you both in that situation. He felt that you and him shouldn't be punished." Tony then began to laugh," I TOLD HIM I AGREED AND ACCEPTED THE DEAL. As soon as he gave me the location, my sabres pinned him down and Oh you see this large rip in his throat? You can guess what happened." Tony then smiles at Shira once more. Shira, fed up with Tony's arrogance, lowers her body to lunge at him. The sabres with Tony lower their body ready to take Shira down. "NO, leave her to me," Tony says to the other sabres. They returned to their normal position and kept there eyes on Diego.

Diego turns his back to the sabres and hops in front of Shira. Shira's facial expression changes slightly when she saw Diego teary eyed. "Shira listen to me. I know your are hurting. I know its not fair for me to ask this of you but, don't throw your life away. You know hes going to kill you. I will not be able to live with myself if that happened. You are my everything. The only sabre I've ever felt this way about. I can't let you throw your life away right in front of my eyes. So please Shira, listen to me when i say, run... You can outrun every sabre here. Go back to the herd. I know you can easily catch Sid's scent from here. Tell them what happened. He will probably come after them next. Live on Shira. Don't die..." Shira looks at Diego's seriously worried face. "But Diego, if i leave, then that means you...," Shira is cut off by Diego. "Yeah i know. Better the guy that deserves it rather than you Shira. Stop wasting time and go Shira before its too..." Before Diego can finish 3 sabres pounce on him. Pinning him down to the surface. "DIEGO!," Shira yells. "SHIRA RUN GO, NOW!," Diego roars. Tears begin to flow down Shira's cheek as she prepares to take off. But before she can, Tony and the other 2 sabres block her way. "Oh shes not going anywhere," Tony says with a sinister look on his face. "TONY LET HER GO, SHE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS," Diego roars. "I really don't care. You killed my brother. Now, im going to make you suffer. By killing your heart first," Tony states. Shira, lowers her body, bares her teeth, and growls. With her claws out, she lunges at one of the sabres and bites his throat. Just as the other sabre leaps at Shira, she jumps off of the slowly bleeding out sabre and claws the other one across the face. Tony waits for the right moment to hop in. Shira and the other sabre are taking turns clawing and biting at each other. Eventually, the sabre strikes Shira, across the head and claws right above her eye. Shira growls in pain, as she is still cornered. "SHIRA!," Diego yells. As he is being pinned down by 3 heavy set sabres and can't move. Blood now blinds Shira's right eye as all she can do is growl and look back and forth at both sabres, waiting for one to attack. Eventually she very carelessly just lunges at the sabre and the sabre back-paws her upside the back of the head. Shira falls to the ground whimpering in pain. Now dizzy, Shira can't see clearly. The sabre pounces on Shira pinning her down. Tony approaches the defenseless tigress. The 3 sabres turn Diego's head and holds its down, forcing him to watch whats about to happen.

"TONY PLEASE DON'T DO THIS... TONY... STOP,"Diego, roars thunderously. Tony looks back at Diego," You're pathetic, uselessly pleading for her life. At least she was able to kill one of my sabres. There you are just laying there defenseless. Ready to die. At least she fought for her life. But at the end of the day, it was futile," Tony states as he gets closer to the pinned grey sabre. Tony brings out his claws and drags them on the ground on his way to Shira. The sabre holding her down, turns her head away, exposing her neck. "You put up a good fight Shira. You've earned a quick an painless death. "NOOOOO!," Diego roars at the top of his throat as he bites the sabres arm that was holding the side of his head down. The other two sabres claw Diego's rib cage and neck. Tears begin to flow down Shira's eyes as her head was facing that direction and she witnessed the sabres lethal assault on Diego. "I guess both of you will die at the same time then. Its a shame, you and your brother had nothing to do with this. Oh well," Tony states. A pool of blood began to form underneath Diego, as he was still being held down. His vision began to blur. Shira, I'm so sorry. It's all my fault. Loving you, brought you into this. My past came back to haunt me and doing so, I brought it on to you. Im so sorry kitty. Im so sorry my love. Diego, begin to tear as his vision was all but a blur. All he could see was an orange sabre raise what seemed like his arm over Shira's body. Shira... The shape he blindly made out to be an arm over Shira, came slashing down. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Diego lets out a vocalized roar that could've been heard hundreds of miles away. Diego hops up, claws out, tensed, fur risen on the back of his neck, as he looks around. Shira, bolts up with him," Diego what is it, whats going on?" Diego looks at Shira with a look of confusion," You?... I thought you... It was just a...," Diego's look changed from pissed to a look of relief and joy. He pounced on Shira and began to nuzzle her. Shira, still tired and confused, nuzzled back for a second," Diego, stop whats going on. What happened. You had a bad dream?" Diego stops nuzzling and looks down at his mate. "It felt so real. I thought I has lost you. I thought that you were..." Diego was so relieved he couldn't finish his sentence. He stared into his loves crystal bright blue-green eyes and all he could do was smile. Shira, realizing what happened just smiles at Diego and licks his cheek. "Im not going anywhere anytime soon softie," Shira says as she smiles back at Diego. Just before Diego leaned in for a kiss, he realized that in his dream both Shira and Shane died. He looks up at Shane's corner and sees hes not there. Diego's face turns from excited to worried. "Where's Shane," Diego asks. "Uhh, Probably hunting. I dont know. I didn't hear him get up.," Shira replies. Would he actually tell the leader our position just to get back in the pack? Would he betray us? Maybe my dream was a sign. What are the odds of me dreaming hes not being there, then waking up and hes not there. I can't take any chances. If there even is a chance that he might give away our location i have to stop him. By any means... "Shira we have to go look for him, its not safe for him to wandering out alone," Diego said. If I told her the real reason I want to go looking for him, she will think Im crazy and it would hurt her to think that I dont trust her brother. "Diego, i think Shane's more than capable of handling himself," Shira said. "I know he is, but you know our situation right now. We can't afford to leave anything to chance," Diego says looking Shira dead in her eyes. "Your right Diego lets go, but if he's just laying down somewhere doing nothing, and i had to get up in the middle of the night for nothing, im going to kill you both," Shira said as she stretches. Diego and Shira walk to the entrance of the cave. Diego looks at Shira," Lets go... Your not seriously going to kill me right?" Shira smiles at Diego as she starts walking. Diego shakes his head and chuckles as he catches up to her. The two sabres head off into the night to find Shane.
