Chapter 14
As the bubble of the tar exploded, a blur could be seen streaking towards the sky and that streak was none other than….Longtail,……but as he ascended into the sky he remembered very clearly what led to this point………..
(A/N: another flashback)
Longtail moved with a purpose….and didn't bother to look back, knowing that he had only one goal in mind…..KILL ONYX!
He arrived at Onyx's cave in a matter of minutes, and when he landed he wasn't quite about it…..
"ONYX!!!!!" cried Longtail at the top of his lungs.
And of course the cave was pretty dark, but still clearly visible in the darkness was Onyx, with blood staining his wings….blood that Longtail knew wasn't his own. Then Longtail stated…….
"You hurt Terri…..So help me I WILL kill you where you stand…." But Onyx chose that moment to speak up
"Oh you don't need to worry about her….she simply spoke out of turn…." Then Longtail interrupted
"No….you SHUT UP….I don't listen to others who hurt my friends….." then Onyx stated very firmly and matter-of-factly….
"I know what you are….Guardian…." at that point Longtail was caught completely off guard…..
'How did he know….I haven't told anyone…not even Terri….' Longtail said to himself
"Surely you've seen it…." Said Onyx….. "The aura around our bodies….well I've seen yours….the first day we had the pleasure of meeting….you know you saw it around me as well…."
Then he did remember seeing what looked like a very fine mist surrounding Onyx before he disappeared five days ago……
(Que play 'Crawling' by Linkin park)
"I don't care if you know or not, but I will make you pay for the pain you caused Terri!" cried Longtail.
"But if I know what you are then that must make me one as well" said Onyx with a devilish grin on his face….and Longtail was once again left speechless…..
"I don't know who you guiding spirit is….and honestly I could care less….." said Onyx with an almost friendly tone.
"….and if I'm a guardian….and Terri's my daughter……then that means….."
"That would make Terri….a….a…" stuttered Longtail
"So you finally caught on…..you little fool." muttered Onyx as he stepped towards Longtail with a dark look in his eyes.
Longtail then chose that moment to bring the claws on his wings into attack position…and CHARGED!
But of course Onyx saw this move coming and sidestepped him and back-handed Longtail into the wall in the back of the cave….then said…
"I also know you are not a normal flyer but...I do know you are out for blood….."
Longtail then rolled onto his feet, and said… "Then you know…you might just lose you life here…"
And before Onyx could respond Longtail took a deep breath held it for two or three seconds and let loose a massive screech, loud enough to crack the rocks inside and outside the cave…
(A/N: If you've seen the LBT TV series Longtails scream sounds a lot like Red Claws, only on a much louder scale...)
The cave began to shake violently and started to collapse around them and still Longtail didn't stop screaming, and only got louder and louder…..too loud for Onyx to stand…or the cave for that matter as the entrance exploded sending Onyx down into the bubbling tar pits below his cave…
"You think you can escape me by falling into a tar pit….you don't know how far I'll go to protect my friends!"
And with that Longtail jumped out of the cave and landed in the tar pit just seconds after Onyx….and even inside the tar pit itself…the fight went on…..
Although Longtail couldn't remember much of the fight inside the pit….he did know one thing….he had to get out before he drowned…then he began to wonder if the same trick could, or more specifically would work twice…
'Well…' he thought to himself 'only one way to find out!'
Then Longtail inhaled what few air bubbles existed in the pit of black, gooey tar and screamed once more, creating his own air bubble that would fortunately save both Onyx and Longtail….Once the bubble was big enough that's when Longtail saw his chance.
Longtail grabbed Onyx by the stub of his tail, then pushed off a well placed rock and burst through the bubble into the light blue sky……
(End Song…..and flashback)
And with that Longtail was once again ready to tackle the issue at hand, upon which he spun in a swift circle, three times then launched Onyx like a living disc into the ground away from the tar pits however he did land on his back and slid several feet towards the rest of the herd.
Then just to ensure Onyx wouldn't do anything stupid Longtail landed, and placed his right foot on Onyx throat and held him still.
Then the rest of the valley dinosaurs finally appeared in the clearing, and were amazed by what they saw…Onyx lying face first on the ground, with none other than Longtail standing above him with one foot holding Onyx to the ground…
And with that Onyx managed to gurgle something to the other grown ups…
"Tell them what you are…child…" but was abruptly silenced when Longtail put more pressure on his neck, making it clear he wanted Onyx to be quiet.
"I'll tell them, after we're done with you…and ONLY then…do you understand?" asked Longtail while whispering into Onyxs ear.
As everyone else walked into the center looking for answers, Longtail said only one thing:
"We need to talk..."
Yes I know this chapter is shorter than the others recently, but this chapter was suppose to be a flash back anyway...unfortuatly that's the only good news I've got! R&R!!! And another thanks to Everyone who's read my story up to this point!
