Chapter 35: A Passionate Beast
NOTE: Chapter Re-edited
Meanwhile on the other side of the Plates of Woe, Carrie and the others were carrying an unconscious Sid to safety.
"We better find someplace safe or Sid will bleed to death" said Manny.
Soon they found a tiny cave not too far away as Manny then adds
"Quick! In here"
The others went into the tiny cave as Manny places the sloth on the ground as James continue putting pressure on the blood wound.
"Diego! Quick! Get some leaves!" Manny said.
"OK" Diego nodded and rushes off.
"Toby! Get some water" Manny added.
"OK Manny" Toby replied.
"I'll help you" said Sierra.
The two wolves then went off as Carrie tearfully holds Sid by the back of the head while stroking his cheek with her other paw.
"Oh Sid...My poor Sid...What has become of you?" Carrie sobbed.
"His predator side is out of control...The poor guy...All because of Leo" James sadly replied.
"I felt so bad for Shelly, Egbert and Yoko...They didn't deserved to die" Manny sadly added.
Carrie and James nodded as the others returned with the items to heal Sid.
"OK everyone stay back, I got this" said James as he begins to heal Sid up with his medical experience.
Carrie huddles with Manny as the mammoth looks at the tearful pink sloth and said
"He'll be fine"
Soon James was finished fixing the wound up and wrapping the leaf bandages on Sid as the orange sloth said
"He'll be fine, He just needs some rest"
"Do you think he'll wake up as Sid again or will he still be a predator when awaken?" Toby asked.
"I...I'm not sure" Carrie sniffed as she was so concerned about her husband.
"We'll get some things to eat for the night, You guys stay and keep an eye on Sid, in case he wakes up" said Sierra.
"OK" said Manny.
Both Sierra, Toby and Diego went off to find some food while Manny, James and Carrie watches over Sid for an hour when suddenly Sid was awake as Carrie was the first to see him awake.
"Sid!" Carrie gasped.
The other two males look over to see the yellow sloth awake and the mammoth said
"Sid, Are you OK?"
The yellow sloth just looked around without answering as James was confused that if Sid was back to his normal self or not. He leans forward to Sid and said
"Sid, You Ok there buddy?"
Sid looks at James for a moment until he was suddenly growling and hissing at James when the trio realises he was still in his predator side.
"Uh-oh!" James gasped.
Sid whacks James away to the ground as Carrie screamed in fright. The predator got up and heads for James when Manny grab his paw with his trunk and angrily shouts
"Knock it off Sid! This isn't you! You're not a monster!"
The predator roars at Manny and slashes his trunk, causing the mammoth to shout to agony before the savage sloth pushes Manny to the wall like a rugby player, hurting the mammoth more.
James got up and grabs Sid as he tries to hold him down while Carrie watches helplessly and has no idea what to do.
"Sid! Please! Don't do this! You're not a predator! You're not savage! Control yourself please!" James desperately pleaded with Sid.
But it was too late, the predator side was too strong for Sid to control as the savage sloth grabs James's throat and throws him to Manny like a football, instantly hurting the two mammals to the ground.
"Sid! Stop it!" Carrie cried.
The predator instantly turns to Carrie and snarls ferociously at her as James groans in pain and said
"Carrie! Run!"
Carrie tried to flee but the predator pins her down to the ground as he was growling and snarling at the crying female sloth.
"Sid! Please! Don't hurt me! Please!" Carrie cried.
Sid was about to attack when Carrie cried
"I know you're in there! Come back to me! I love you Sid!"
Suddenly the predator halted and looks at the pink sloth as the predator suddenly remembers the memories that he and Carrie did together.
"How do you do? I'm Sid! Sid the sloth" Sid happily greeted as he offers his paw.
The pink sloth looks at the paw for a moment then smiles a little bit as she softly smiles and shakes it.
"What's your name?" Sid kindly asked.
The pink sloth pauses for a moment then looks at Sid and replies
"Carrie...My name is Carrie"
"Hey there, Lovely morning, Glad that it's not pouring, I'm happy as a feather and I'm walking with Carrietta and I-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Wait! Did you just call me Carietta?" Carrie asked as she lifts up an eyebrow and looks at Sid confusingly.
"Umm...Yeah" Sid nervously replied.
"Please don't call me that Sid" said Carrie.
"Sorry" Sid apologized.
"Its fine" said Carrie as she pats Sid's shoulder and continues walking back to the cave then Sid begins singing again.
"Dear old dear what's the matter, with this girl name Carrietta?"
"Sid!" Carrie exclaimed as she looks at Sid deviously.
"Sorry! I didn't mean to" Sid chuckled.
"Oh yeah! Sure you did (!)" Carrie playfully scoffed as she smirks at Sid.
"I won't do it again, I swear!" Sid replied.
"You promise?" Carrie asked
"I promise!" Sid smiles at the pink sloth.
"Alright" said Carrie and they began walking again as Sid smiles and begins singing once again.
"Oh my heart is so alive when I'm with-"
"Don't you dare say it" Carrie deviously warned as she turns around and smiles deviously at Sid while pointing a claw at him.
"...Carrie" Sid sings the ending of his sing along.
"Thank you" Carrie thanked.
She walks for a moment but was stopped when Sid quickly sang
"Known as Carrietta"
"Oooooh! You are so annoying!" Carrie laughed.
Sid runs off from her as he playfully teases her by singing.
"Carrietta, Carrietta, I like the name, it suits you better!"
"Oh that is it!" Carrie deviously laughs as she starts to chase Sid back to the cave.
"Sid...When you told me that you love me, I believed you...it's just...I didn't want to hurt you...I didn't want you to suffer the same faith my family...that's why I left you earlier"
"Really? I thought it was because you didn't love me" said Sid being honestly.
"Are you kidding me? Of course I love you Sid, I really do! But I don't want to hurt you!" Carrie replied as she smiles at Sid.
"Carrie! I understand how you feel but there's nothing to be scared of anymore! You have me and you have the herd to help you! Let me be there for you! Give me a chance and I promise nothing bad will tear us apart" Sid warmly said to Carrie.
Carrie looks at Sid with hopeful eyes as she said "You promise"
"I promise" Sid replied.
Carrie gets up with Sid and holds his hands and said
"You're the most wonderful sloth I have ever met in my entire life! You were always there for me whenever I felt alone! I love you so much Sid"
"And you are the most beautifulness sloth I have ever met! You really changed my life! I will always love you Carrie and that's a promise" said Sid.
"Oh Sid! Thank you!" Carrie sobbed happily and soon they looked at each other for a moment then they leaned closer to each other and at long last, they kissed for the first time.
As they kissed, fireflies appeared and they glow with wonderful lights as Sid and Carrie parted their lips from each other.
"Carrie, I love you so much! You mean everything to me and you are what I want to be with for the rest of my life, I love you more than the whole Ice Age itself...So Carrie... Will you do the honor of being my wife?" Sid proposed.
Carrie gasps as she looks at Sid for a moment then she starts to sob tears of joy.
"Oh Sid!" Carrie cried happily and she hugs Sid.
Sid and Carrie then looked into each other's eyes as they were on their knees, close to each other as Sid wraps his arms around Carrie's waist and Carrie wraps her arms around Sid's shoulders.
"So...What do you say Carrie, will you be my wife?" Sid asked as he smiles at Carrie lovingly.
"Yes, Yes I will Sid!" Carrie happily replied as she smiles back at Sid and soon they lean closer once more and kissed.
As they kissed, Carrie knew that her nightmares are over, thanks to Sid and her new family. Soon they part from their kiss, Carrie said softly to Sid "I love you so much Sid"
"I love you too Carrie, so very much" Sid said lovingly to Carrie as he gently pulls her into another kiss.
As soon as he remembers, the predator in Sid spoke in a raspy whisper
"Carrie..."
"Sid? Do you remember me now?" Carrie whimpered.
Sid then nods as Carrie tearfully hugs Sid in relief but was stopped when Sid makes her face him as he snarls and then lunges for her neck.
"CARRIE!" James shouted as he was to get up.
"James! Wait!" Manny shouted as he halts the orange sloth.
The males then saw Sid kissing and licking her neck and shoulder passionately as the pink sloth gasps and shivers in amazement.
"Oh...I see" James nodded.
"I think Sid's love side has returned" Manny nodded.
Soon the predator looks at Carrie and kisses her passionately while the female sloth was surprised and uneasy at first but surrenders to the predator's passion.
When the kiss parted, Carrie gasped
"Sid...Wow..."
Soon the predator carried his wife on his back and runs out of the cave with her.
"Carrie!" James exclaimed.
"This is not good" Manny said in concern.
Just then the others had returned and saw Manny and James on the ground.
"Guys? What's going on?" Diego asked in confusion.
"Where's Carrie and Sid?" Toby asked in alarmed.
"What happened here?" Sierra asked in concern.
"Let's just say...things got a little rough" said James.
Meanwhile, Sid was running through the jungles of the Dinosaur World with Carrie on his back as the female sloth was concerned on where they were going.
"Sid?! Where are we going?!" Carrie cried.
Soon the predator took Carrie to a river as they went under the waterfall. Sid then lays his wife on the ground and crawls on top of her.
"W-What are you doing?" Carrie asked in concern.
The predator just growled a bit as he licks Carrie for a moment until he passionately kisses Carrie on the lips. The female sloth was surprised that Sid is feeling passionate in his predator form as she resists and tries to leave but the predator kept stopping her and passionately continues licking and kissing all over her.
"Sid, please! This isn't safe here! We must get back!" Carrie pleaded.
The predator refused and continues what he was doing until Carrie makes him faces her and added
"Sid, please! This is not the right time"
The savage sloth growls at Carrie who sternly said
"Excuse me but there's no need to growl at me, I AM your wife mister"
The predator suddenly carries the pink sloth to the rocky wall and kisses her passionately while the female resisted at first but slowly she feels a passionate feeling inside her that urges her to surrender to Sid as she gives up and replied
"Ok...You win, We'll stay here for the night"
The predator gave Carrie a devious grin as he then kisses his wife through the entire night under the night sky of the river.
It seems Sid has little control of his predator side
He remembers Carrie
But he took her somewhere to have a romantic night with her
What happens if Sid returns to normal again?
How will the herd react to Sid now when he returns with Carrie?
