Hey guys. You know who it is, Money100!

Syrus: Do you still think we're cute?

Me: Yup.

Shira: Money, why do you watch things you don't understand?

Me: Dunno. Hey, let's get back to the story, Okay?

Yugi: You're so weird Money.

Me: How?

Jaden: You think Japanese cartoon people are cute.

Me: It's true. Look at your clueless faces. So innocent.

Percy: About the story?

Me: Right. Here's chapter 13.

Don't own Ice Age.

(十三)

If there was one thing Diego could do for his so, it was to take the pain away. Every five minutes, Ashe would cringe in his sleep. Diego had taken Ashe to eke as soon as he could.

"How is he?"

Diego asked as he looked over at his son.

"Not so good."

Ellie said sadly.

"I don't think he'll last very long. I can't even get a good heartbeat. It's irregular and too slow for his age."

Diego sighed. He felt Ellie place her trunk around his shoulder. He looked up at her.

"I'm sorry Diego. I've done everything I could."

Ellie said before she walked away. Diego watched her go away, then turned back to his son.

"Hang in there Ashe."

Diego said as he stroked the top of Ashe's head.

"Diego!"

Diego heard a voice behind him. He turned and saw Skar walking up to him. He had an angry look in his face.

"I know what you did. Donovan may be the biggest jerk in the pack, but that doesn't give you the right to attack him."

Diego looked at Skar in confusion.

"What're you talking about? I didn't attack him."

"Then why did he say you did? He even had the scars to prove it."

Diego turned away from Ashe and faced Skar.

"I did it for a reason."

Diego said with anger rising anger in his voice.

"He put Ashe in the Labyrinth of Death."

Skar chuckled.

"Again, Donovan may be the biggest jerk, but I know for a fact, that he wouldn't do that. Plus, there's no such thing as the Labyrinth of Death."

Skar began to walk away. But a female voice caught the two males' attention.

"Skar wait!"

Skar and Diego turned to see Nukpana walking up to them.

"What do you want bitch."

"Nukpana."

Diego and Skar said. Nukpana walked up to Skar.

"Skar, that place is real. Donovan put me in there."

Skar began to laughed.

"Ha ha ha ha Nukpana. You're so funny. Tonight, we fuck."

Nukpana gulped.

"Please Skar."

Diego dragged Ashe's body to a quiet corner where nobody could see him, then he walked back to the group.

"Please Skar, you have to believe me."

Skar was angry with this.

"I don't have to listen to you!"

Skar pounced on Nukpana.

"You stupid, motherfucking, son of a bitch!"

Diego looked at them with slight fear, but extreme anger. He pounced on Skar.

"Listen Skar. I don't wanna fight, but you have to believe her. She's right. The place is real, and that's where he put my son."

Skar had a thoughtful look on his face.

"Nukpana, Clovis is coming over for a mating."

Nukpana sighed as tears began to run down her face. Diego looked at Skar in disbelief.

"Are you serious?! You're hearing about a member of you pack that's hiding something from the who pack, and all you can say is Clovis is coming over and wants to mate her? Listen to yourself."

Diego got off Skar. The pack leader got up and began to walk away.

"We'll see what the pack says tonight."

Skar said as he walked away. Nukpana turned to look at Diego.

"Where is he?"

She asked shakily. Diego looked behind him.

"Um, I don't think-"

"Where is he."

Nukpana demanded from Diego with a much stronger voice. Diego looked into her eyes. Why did she feel the need to see him? It's not like she was Ashe's mother. Was she? He lead Nukpana to where Ashe lay. When she got closer and got a good picture of him, she ran over to him.

"Ashe..."

She asked as she nuzzled him. Nukpana turned to Diego.

"Thank you."

She said before she walked away to her cell. She walked in and close the cell door. Nukpana looked at the paintings of the little cub on the wall. She remembered everything about that little cub.

"You really miss him."

Nukpana jumped slightly as she heard her mate's voice from the top of the cell. She looked to where Neko was. He walked down to where she was.

"Why would you care?"

Neko walked over to Nukpana and sat down next to her.

"He's my son, too."

The two was silent for a few minutes.

"Do you love him?"

Nukpana asked. Neko looked at her in surprise.

"Where'd that question come from?"

Neko asked. Nukpana stepped a few inches back.

"I think you know."

Neko thought about it. He knew what his mate was talking about. When their son was born, Neko had threw the tiny cub across the cell. Neko sighed.

"Nukpana, I was crazy at the time. I'm really sorry."

Nukpana was quiet for a few minutes.

"I don't know what to think about you."

Neko sighed and began to walk out of the cell.

"I'll talk to Donovan."

He said before he left.

...

Skar was angry. Actually, Skar was furiousL

"How dare Diego lies about my second-in-command?!"

Skar shouted as he continued passing. Thalia watched her mate in concern.

"Skar, relax. Please?"

Skar turned to his mate with an angry look on his face.

"You expect me to relax?!" Make spence woman!"

Skar shouted at Thalia. Thalia wasn't generally scared of Skar. But when he got angry, he had a tendency to take out his anger out on whoever or whatever was near him.

"Okay okay. You don't have to. I'm-"

Thalia was cut off by a large paw striking her across the face. She looked up at her mate in shock. Skar had never hit her.

"Skar..."

She said as tears started to roll down her face. Skar gasped slightly and looked at his mate.

"Thalia..."

He walked closer to her, but she stood up and ran away. Skar sighed.

"So you hit my sister."

Neko said from behind his pack leader. Skar turned and looked at his brother-in-law.

"I'm sorry. I know I promised."

Neko sighed. He knew about Skar's anger issues.

"Well, you are taking good care of her. I'll talk to her."

Neko said before he walked off.

...

Justin was worried. Ashe hadn't been seen in a few days.

"Dad!"

She asked as she ran over to Donovan, who was hitting an adolescent tigress.

"Donovan."

The sabress laughed lightly.

"I know you want it, Nedra."

"Oh Donovan..."

Nedra said dreamily.

"DAD!"

Donovan nuzzled Neruda.

"I'll see you tonight."

Nedra nodded and ran off. Donovan turned to his daughter.

"Yes Justin?"

"Where's Ashe?"

She asked. Donovan began passing.

"I have no idea. You can't find him?"

He said with fake concern.

"Dad I'm serious. Where's Ashe?"

Donovan sighed.

"He died. I'm sorry honey. I know how much you loved that boy."

"He...died?"

Justin said as she began to cry. Donovan hugged his daughter.

"I'm really sorry Justin."

...

Diego looked at Ashe's face.

"I wish I could help you out better."

Diego said as he placed his muzzle on Ashe's forehead, right on the Millennium Diamond. The Diamond glowed slightly, but not enough for anybody to notice. Ashe gasped, but did not wake. Ellie walked over to the father and son.

"Hey Diego. Is we waking up?"

Diego shook his head.

"No."

Diego said sadly.

"Try this."

Ellie said while giving Diego a bowl full of water, honey, lotus plants, and some peddles from a Yukiko plant. This plant was a four peddled flower with white peddles and a baby blue center..

"Thanks."

Diego said as he took the bowl and began pouring it down Ashe's throat.

"Wake up soon Ashe."

Diego said as he lay beside his son.
