Title: Happy Family

Chapter 4

(Onami's P.O.V)

I woke up at the sound of birds. Looking around I knew I wasn't at home, that was for sure. A thick vine was around me, tieing me to a tree trunk but I didn't notice that till a few minutes later. I just realized I was on a giant ice boat-thing. I felt stupid for not realizing that I was tied to a tree trunk on ice as soon as I woke up. Luna's the smart, cunning and sneaky one. My thoughts was interrupted by strange figures coming towards me. I would have asked questions but I wasn't as good at speaking like Luna, mostly I just copy what she says. I had lots to say but at the time I had only just learnt to speak but I wasn't good at all at it.
"Aye Aye little Saber. What lovely eyes you have" A giant monkey with bad breath smiled at me. He was referring to my blue eyes that were the same as Mummies. I tried to give him a growl, the way Daddy does but it came out as a squeak.
"Definitely a fighter!" He laughed. Looking around I saw two other sabers, a skunk, a kangeroo, a birdie and a giant seal with a smiley face. "You must be Shira's cub mustn't you? Well if you're looking for that sister of yours with the same retched fur as Shira, we drowned her!" The over grown monkey laughed evily. I would have burst into tears then and there but somehow deep down, I knew Luna was still alive. She was my twin, my other half. I knew her better than anyone else. I knew she was special, with special powers. I would not cry infront of the pirates. That's probably what they wanted. But where was Luna?

(Diego's P.O.V)

I woke up before everyone but Granny. She was sitting in the corrner calling for Precious. It wasn't a loud call, it was quiet and steady like she was summoning him. I left her to her craziness and scanned the cave. Manny, Ellie and Peaches were asleep together. Well not really, Manny was asleep on the ground but Ellie and Peaches were hanging on the branch hung over into the cave. Sid was asleep on the ground, which was strange for him. I had asked him about it last night but he said he was trying a new investion, 'the pillow'. He had gathered some cotton growing in the forest and had somehow stuck it all together. Buck was sleeping near the back of the cave and Lotus was a few feet forward from him. Shira was cuddled up with me. But something was missing. Luna, Onami, Crash and Eddie! Just as I realized that I spotted Crash and Eddie on the other side of Shira cuddled up against her sliver fur. I didn't have time to be jealous, my cubs were missing! I woke Shira and the rest of the herd. Straight away we decided that it was the pirates.
"Ellie, Peaches, Granny and Lotus you're going to stay behind while the rest of us raid theship, save the cubs and kill the pirates." Manny explained. Their was no objections, not even a groan from Lotus. Before we left the cave we disscused with Shira what are best chance would be to get the cubs back.
"If Gutt survived the sirens then he'll be stronger than ever. He'll probably have new crew members aswell. Wait a minute! Lotus's friend Azer's part of Gutt's crew! I forgotten all about that!" Shira said. She was trying hard not to let her self cry, I could tell. Losing the cubs is torture to her and me but mostly for Shira because she knows more about Gutt and what he may do to them. Lotus ran over to us to tell us more about Azer.
"He is part of that crew. I know he's fast and strong and his farthers part of the crew aswell. He's been watching me and probably the rest of the herd. They probably know everything about us." She said glumly.
"Well you go play with Peaches at the back of the cave Lotus. It's safer at the back than near the front of the cave," Shira ordered. "Now then, if we can we should create a distraction like you guys did before with the hyrax. It would be easier and safer than trying to kill them. This is my plan..."

Me, Buck, Shira, Manny, Sid, Crash and Eddie ran through the forest. We were heading to the cove and me and Shira ran at the front.
"Diego, what if we can't get them back? What if they're dead? What if I never see my cuddly, cunning Luna again? Or my brave, strong fighting Onami again? Why can't we just be a Happy Family?" She whispered to me. A single tear fell down her furry cheak and at that moment I knew I would die defending my cubs and Shira if I had to. I knew I would have a slow and painful death if it meant I could save them. I knew I would never forgive myself if it was too late when we got there.

Wow. Sort of depressing in that last bit! Anyway, where is Luna if she's not on the ship and not with the herd? Why did Azer let this happen? How will the herd save Onami and fing Luna? Stay tuned if you want to find out what happens next! By the way, review to save Ellie. (Shows Ellie trapped in lava falls and about to burn to death!)
