Aaliyah's POV
My name is Aaliyah and I'm a saber. I was walking North the opposite of where everyone else was going. There was an Ice Age going on and everyone was moving to get warmer. To me, I didn't care and no one did either. You see I never talked to anyone since I left my pack. My pack, they had this tradition that when someone become old enough they had to kill an innocent baby or animal to prove themselves. I didn't agree so I left and plus my sister lead an attack on our pack. Only six of them survived me included. So I just left and never spoke a word to anyone. Most of the animals I met took me as a mute and didn't care really. I made my way through the crowd and sighed.
"What am I doing to myself? I'm just pushing people away and I don't talk to anyone. I need to be more open and talk but..." I said to myself. "Whatever no one cares so I have to be a mute and never talk to anyone." I sighed again and started walking furthur away from everyone. After walking a bit away from everyone, I heard screaming, and talking. I followed the voices and I poked my head around a boulder to see Frank and Carl, the Rhino brothers, a few feet away from a sloth and a mammoth. I ran into Carl and Frank once and they tried to intimidate me but no avial. After I taught them a "lesson" they were terrified of me so I loved it in a way and used it to my advantage.I smirked and thought Pefect I haven't seen them in ages and I get to have a little fun. I may not be a ruthless killer but I like to intimidate bigger mammals then me sometimes "Frank, Carl~!" I sung in a creepytone as they both froze and the four of them looked at me. "Oh no Frank is it?" "I'm afraid it is Carl" "B-but we haven't seen her in years! No way we are dreaming right now" "Oh really then?" I said as they both turned around "Ahh! it IS her!" Carl said. I chuckled evilly and said "Yep its me. So I suggest you leave them alone unless you want to get the claws again" "N-no it's alright Allie we were just leaving right Carl?" Frank said. "Y-yeah uh see ya!" He said and they both ran off.
I scoffed a bit as I looked at their retreating forms and said "Scardy-cats" as the sloth came up to me and said "Thank you so much for saving us." "Yeah thanks did you know those guys?" The mammoth asked. "Your welcome and yeah I met them while moving North. They tried to intimidate me but it was no use. I taught them a little "lesson" and they were terrified of me after that so I used it to my advantage." I said with a slight smirk. "Thank you again. My name is Sid and you are?" "Aaliyah but it's Allie, or Ali for short. Who are you mammoth?" I said looking at him. "Manfred." "Manfred yuck man how about Manny the moody mammoth?" Sid said. I roll my eyes smiling a bit. "Shut up Sid" He said to him. "So what are you doing here in the middle of nowhere?" Sid asked turning to me. "Just moving North. Staying away from everyone. I don't really have a pack anymore so it's just me" "You too huh?" Manny asked and I nodded. "What about you guys?" "Well Manny was moving North and I was trying to find my family so we can move South but they abandoned me. Then I ran into Manny while trying to escape those rhinos."
I frown and put a paw on his shoulder. I feel bad for him that his family abandoned him. He looked at me and smiled. "So you guys coming or what?" Manny asked as he faced the other way waiting for us "I am. You want to join us Ali?" I look at them in disbelief and thought this is a dream but I knew it wasn't. Instead I simply nod and the two of us join Manny. Now it was the three most unlikliest species traveling together. I felt it was weird because sloths are prey to sabers, same with mammoths and yet here I am traveling with them. My first thought of this is 'What a weird herd we are' but then I thought Maybe these two will help me get rid of my mute problem. Sid seems really nice at first, Manny too but I take him more of the annoyed, hot-head type. As we started walking, Sid started talking about somethings his family did as we entered a clearing, and gather some wood to make a shelter.
