The Land Before Time
Revenge
Chapter 1
Littlefoot ran as fast as he could towards his friends. They were surrounded by a group of giant sharpteeth, all looking really hungry. "I'm coming guys!" he cried out. One of the sharpteeth turned around and noticed him charging, so he whipped out his tail. It hit Littlefoot in the head and flung him off to the side. He fell to the ground hard, and the sharptooth turned his attention back to the others. Their screams and cries for help echoed in Littlefoot's head. One of the sharpteeth lunged for his friends, and Littlefoot screamed out.
His scream woke himself up from the horrible nightmare. He was sweating and panting pretty hard, but eventually he calmed down with a huge sigh of relief. "Boy, that was a terrible sleep story." He lowered his head and tried to fall back asleep, but he wouldn't for a long time.
Later that morning, the sun rose high in the sky, but Littlefoot had only been sleeping for about five hours. "Aww man! Morning already?" The sun blinded him as he opened his eyes and looked around. His grandma had already left for breakfast, but his grandpa was standing right above him, trying to get him up.
"Wake up Littlefoot. The bright circle has risen into the sky, and it's time for breakfast."
"Umm, ok," Littlefoot replied. He yawned and his grandpa laughed.
"You don't look like you got much sleep last night. Are you all right?"
"Yeah I'm fine. Just a sleep story."
"Is it something you want to talk about with Grandma and me?"
"No," Littlefoot shook his head. "It's nothing. I'm fine." He slowly got up, but he couldn't deny how exhausted he was. Grandpa laughed again.
"Well I'm not going to rush you. You can come and eat when you're ready."
"Okay grandpa," he yawned again and followed grandpa to the spot they were going to eat at.
Meanwhile, unbeknownst to Littlefoot, a herd of longnecks was migrating just past the Great Valley, one whom he had not seen in a long time. A child about Littlefoot's size, age, and color, kept by her mother the entire trip. "Mother, can't we just go to the Great Valley? We can be safer there." Her mother shook her head.
"Ali, if we head to the Great Valley, we'll be putting the dinosaurs there in danger. The sharpteeth are not that far behind us."
"But mother, I have friends there that can help us," Ali argued. Their parents could fight off the sharpteeth."
"I'm sorry Ali, but the Wise One said that we-"
"I don't care what the Wise One said!" Ali interrupted. "Those sharpteeth may enter the Great Valley, and if they do Littlefoot and the others will need our help!" Just then, the entire herd stopped moving and started panicking. Ali looked around. "What's going on? Why did we stop?" All of a sudden, everyone started screaming.
"SHARPTEETH!" one longneck screamed.
"There all around us!" another yelled. Ali saw the horrifying sight of a huge pack of fast biters charging the herd.
"Ali, stay close to me!" her mother yelled, but unfortunately two fast biters had separated Ali from her. "Ali! Run!"
"Mother!" Ali screamed back as she bolted the opposite direction. Not looking back, she could tell the fast biters were head on her trail. She tried to weave in and out of other longnecks in an attempt to lose them, but each time she was unsuccessful. Eventually, the fast biters cornered her against a giant rock face. "Mother! Help!" she cried out, but nobody came. One of the fast biters hissed at Ali, preparing to attack its prey.
All of a sudden, two fliers blocked the sharpteeth from reaching Ali. They flapped their wings heavily to push the fast biters back. Eventually, the sharpteeth ran away, and Ali breathed a huge sigh of relief. "Thank you so much, but who are you?" The two fliers turned around and grinned at Ali.
Not far away, Ali's mother had just fought off the last two fast biters, and she looked around for her daughter. "Ali? Ali! Where are you?" she yelled. Suddenly, she heard a scream, and she immediately recognized it as her daughter's. "Ali!" She ran towards where she heard the scream, but it was too late. The two fliers began to pick up Ali and fly away with her. "Ali!"
Up in the sky, the two fliers tried to keep up in the air as they carried an unconscious Ali. "Sierra, this is much harder than I thought! Why are they always so heavy?"
"Quit your whining Rinkus!" Sierra yelled. "We need her for our plan. The little brat will have to follow us to get her back, so we need more leverage."
"What about the others?" Rinkus asked. "There are more we can use."
"We'll have to find their locations. This will work out perfectly." The two fliers continued flying towards their destination, making sure they didn't drop their bait.
