Ice vs. water
"Oh come on Diego… you know you can't resist. Akeeba sauntered around him. The embarrassed male was forced towards a quite corner.
" A-A Akeeba I don't think-"
" Hush now big boy…it's time"
She started to nuzzle his neck. He returned the affection.
" Oh Diego…Diego…Diego…Diego
"Diego… DIEGO… DEEEEEEAAAAAGOOOOOO!" Sid bellowed at the slumbering tiger.
" GRRRRRRR, ALRIGHT I'M AWAKE!"
" Looks like tumble tooth tumbled to far"
Diego turned his attention to Akeeba and was angered by his nickname. The female seemed to find his anger amusing; she gave him a sly wink.
The sun was high and every mammal knows that while travelling south there are many obstacles to over-come…even the environment can become a challenge…Manfred however knew that if you were calm and focussed then crossing the solidified water would take know time at all…but that didn't mean he actually liked the task…he loathed it.
"Now the difficult part…crossing the ice" The mammoth warned
"Oh come on Manny, who knows what you'll be lying on once you fall"
Manfred blushed at the flirtatious female. Snow started to fall. Diego however was the first to press his paw on the ice; Akeeba was behind him waiting her turn to cross the solidified water.
"Hmmmm" Sid pondered
The poor excuse for a mammal ran into Akeeba and sent her sliding into Diego. The two sabres were defenceless sliding on the slippery surface…
SMASHHHH!
The two fur balls crashed into a mound of snow. Seconds passed. All was silent…Manfred watched the snow with mild amusement…the snow began to shift. Akeeba reared her head out of the cold element and was slightly taken back at what her eyes had caught…Diego's rear-end. He was trying to free himself from the thick ice, but to no avail. The curious female decided to help the stuck tiger; she grabbed his tail with her teeth and pulled…
1…2…3…CRASH!
Akeeba pulled with such force that both of them were sent tumbling into an ice-covered tree. When Diego opened his eyes he saw that he was lying on top of the flirtatious female, he found himself staring into her grey eyes, Akeeba started to feel embarrassed at the position they were in.
"A-hem" Manny said with some annoyance.
"Come on turtledoves you can do that when your south" Sid told them with odd enthusiasm.
The embarrassed male caught on to what his annoying friend had said and immediately got up from her body and began to catch up to Manfred and Sid. Akeeba got up and only smiled, the female knew that she was breaking through his armour and she had to break it soon… she had to do it soon because she was on the run and being hunted…
"Sir we have news on Akeeba"
"Proceed"
"She's been located in the south regions and is travelling with a mammoth, a sloth and a lone sabre…he's not one of us Sir"
" Tell Moharpi, to send his wolves for an ambush at the waters and to wait for my signal, dispose of any that will not comply… That female will be mine and my mark will be buried deep within her flesh, she won't escape again or her body will stain the rivers red"
"Yes Sir"
The tiger sat at his ledge and waited for Moharpi to advance. His plan was coming together…
