Chapter 7

Ali woke up because something pushed to her.

She looked up, half asleep, and she saw something white and black, but not entirely clear.

"Who is that? She asked.

"A friend" the answer was from a voice she had heard before, but could not quit get the idea of where it was from.

She thought back to her herd, but the memories only brought back pain. Tears began to flow into her eyes, making it almost impossible to see, who she was talking to. She tried to force the tears away, but they kept coming. She had experienced nights were she cried almost to dawn.

She kept remembering the scene, her mother falling into a black hole in the earth, and young longnecks being burned up by firewater.

It had been an awful day, and she felt even more terrible of the fact that she was the only survivor.

"Come with me" the voice said, in a friendly tone.

"O...okay" Ali said, uncertainty taking over her voice.

She still couldn't see anything clearly, except the black and white colour of the figure.

She followed the figure into the distance.


Littlefoot woke up. The bright circle wasn't far from the ground, so it meant it was very early. He looked over at Ali's nest.

He felt his blood turn cold, as he saw that she wasn't there. A disturbing feeling far greater, than he could ever imagine, came rushing up to his neck, activating only one thing in his head.

He had to find her.

He began looking for her in the big camp of dinosaurs.

Some few minutes later, he found her footprints, going away from the safety of the herd.

He decided to go after her, knowing that his grandparents would get worried, and his friends angry for not taking them with him, but this, he felt, was a private issue.

He didn't want them into this, mostly because he thought they wouldn't understand, and mostly because he didn't want them to talk about it.

He began his journey down the tracks, wishing, that Ali wasn't hurt or injured.


Cera had just finished breakfast, when she heard the shouting of Littlefoots grandparents.

"Now what" she thought.

"Cera, you haven't seen Littlefoot or Ali, this morning?" The old longnecks came over to her.

They seemed very concerned.

"Nop" she answered, getting confused by that matter.

"I'll have to talk to the others about this" she thought to her self, and as soon the two longnecks were gone, she went to get the others.

"Have you heard it?" the group looked confused.

"What you mean by that?" Petri asked.

"Littlefoot and Ali are gone" she said simple.

"WHAT!! The group shouted.

"What we do" Petri asked.

"I thought that was simple, we are going after them" Cera answered, well knowing that this could mean troubles with the parents.

"how, they leave no trail for us" Petri said in a distressed voice.

"We should go to their nesting ground, we should" Ducky said

"Hmm hmm" Spike nodded in agreement, and began moving towards the nests.

Cera and Petri agreed, and it wasn't long before they too found the tracks of Ali, but this time also those from Littlefoot.

"Let's follow them" and they too began moving down the tracks.
