I take it back

By Rain of Mystery

Cera was alone near the waterfall, she was lost in her thoughts, on how much her and her friends have been through, so many adventures. The great valley was quiet, the stars twinkled above her, she was happy to have that time alone to herself, she wasn't so tough, deep down she was sensitive and caring, but in front of her friends, she always wanted to keep her strong, confident and tough side as a front, she felt respected by them and from others.

Meanwhile her mind thought of the time, when she met Little Foot, and how they managed to survive to get to the great valley, from what seemed so long ago. Then she remembered the time when they were fighting, and said to him, until now it bothered her.

" We have to keep following the bright circle." Littlefoot said..." Who said?" Cera asked..." My mother!" he stated... " Then she was a stupid longneck too." she said.

Cera gasped from the memory. ' How could I say that to him!... calling his mother stupid. How could I?'

Then she remembered what else was said.

...'take that back!' Littlefoot told her...' Never!' she yelled...

She felt awful more than before, how could she had said such things to him, and especially during that time, when he had just lost his mother. She groaned to herself about what she remembered, as she was heading back to her nest. She was surprised to see LittleFoot.

" Littlefoot?"

"Cera?"

" What are you doing up?" she asked.

" I was thirsty." he told her.

" Oh...well...um goodnight." she said going on her way, but Littlefoot noticed how sad she looked.

"Cera?" he called to her.

" Yes?" she said.

" Is something bothering you?" he asked.

She sighed... it was now or never.

" Yes, something is bothering me... something I should have done a long time ago." she said.

He waited for her to continue.

She sighed. " I take it back."

"What." he asked.

She groaned. " Do you remember when we were first trying to get to the great valley, and I said to you, that your mother was a stupid long neck and you told me to take it back."

He thought for a moment, and nodded. " I remember."

" I take it back." she said again with tears in her eyes.

He stepped up to her and gave her a soft smile. " Apology accepted Cera." he said. " I forgive you." he said to her.

She looked at him and gave him a sad smile. " I truly take it back."
