I LOVE ICE AGE!
(Chap 2: Weird or what?) (Tillie's P.O.V)
Slowly my cautiousness came back to me. I could feel my body lying on a smooth rock that was heated by a close by fire and my head was lying on something long and furry. I moved slowly, not wanting to startle anyone who might be near. "I think she's coming too." same a sort voice, it seemed to belong to a big cat dew to the slight growl held in it, but what would a big cat be doing in a place full of snow? I opened my eye's properly and stood up in shock. The voice had come from a sabre-toothed tiger, and the thing that I was lying my head on was a mammoth's trunk!
"Wow! Calm down, we wont heart you!" the mammoth spoke threw his trunk.
"Chill Mani. Your wasting your breath. Human's can't even talk, let alone understand what were saying." said a possum that was hanging upside down on a branch above my head along with his friend.
"I beg your pardon!" I shouted, making the little creatures fall beside me, "I can talk and hear you so I don't know what you mean buddy." I scolded him.
"Crash, did you have to upset her. I'm trying to sleep dude." the other moaned.
"Sorry Eddy." he said, scratching his neck.
"Sorry for scaring you. But I think that you should watch your mouth ok." I said as I pointed at the tallest one.
A goofy looking sloth took my hand and gave it a kiss before saying, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Sid 'Lord of the Flames' but one tribe of mine sloth's call me the 'Fire King'."
"But to us he's just Sid." Said the tiger, "Name's Diageo. You've met Crash and Eddy. An this is Elle and Mani." he motioned towards the two mammoths.
Suddenly a wacky squirrel with overgrown teeth flew past my head and hit the ice wall behind me, clutching a half burnt acorn. "That is Scrat, he's a squirrel rat." Diageo told me.
"Scrat the squirrel rat? Weird. So your all one small heard?"
"Yea weird or what? But we don't see Scrat so much because he's always trying to save his nuts." Sid laughed.
"Well we better get moving, it's morning and we want to get out of here before that mountain explodes." Mani pushed Sid back onto his feet.
"So were you from?"
"What year is it?" I just had to ask that.
"19,000 BC. But what the BC stands for I don't know." Replied Diageo.
"How did you here that?"
"There's one tribe that has learnt to speak. I hared the old fortune teller speak of a girl who would come from the future and she would be able to speak to us animals. Judging from the time she came from and the knowledge of the future that this was the year 19,000 BC, and from today the cave drawings were to be used to record stories of our life, and there's. The tribe let me stay to here this prophesy when they caught me eavesdropping and treated me as one of there tribe, they believe that we are the same and should not be feared and hunted, but treated equally and protected. They whish to honour us animals, not betray us."
"That human must be me."
"Is that were your from? What time?"
"2008. The BC stands for Before Christ. We are 19,000 years away from the birth of Jesus Christ, the son of God."
"Who is God?" Asked Sid.
"In a few religions god is the one who created the world."
Suddenly the ground started to shake and rocks began to come down from the mountain.
"Every one in here." Mani called and pulled us all into a cave full of drawings.
"This is the cave I told you about!" gasped Diageo. "Hey there's me," He pointed with one of his claws. "and it look's nothing like me." he shook his head.
"Well they don't have real paint or paint brushes like we do in the future, so what do you expect?" then the ground shook again.
"Mani what did you say that was?"
"A mountain, why?"
"That's no mountain, it's a volcano."
"A what?"
"Well they don't have a name yet but that is a volcano. It was named after Volcan, the roman mountain god who was believed to have lived in the mountain in Pompeii. But when they discovered that it was full of flaming hot lava after it irrupted, those who survived named it after the god that once lived in it and named it a volcano."
"Were is pompous or what ever its called?" Sid said before running into the wall… again.
"Pompeii is a city in Roam. But that country won't be discovered for a long time. In fact countries won't know about each other for the next thousand years."
"Ok." replied Diageo. The others stared at him, "So I understood what she said."
"Let's get moving before the mou… volcano starts shaking again.
When we finally stopped Sid had sat in a small water volcano. Mani and Diageo smiled.
"3, 2, 1." they said and Sid was shot up into the air.
Crash and Eddy thought it would be fun to shoot up too, so they held hands and put there free hands in the cold, jetting water and screamed as they were lifted by there arms into the air. They were landing near me so I moved in place and caught the two in my arms.
"Thank you" they said together as they gave me a hug.
"Oh! Why couldn't you just let them be squashed on the floor, maybe that would knock some sense into them, or at least shut them up."
"In your dreams." we all laughed.
