Deadly Alliance
'I can taste his fear from here' He thinks to himself as he moves into a hunting position. 'First we will drive him insane, then we shall kill his friends, and then we shall slowly kill him over the course of several days, and then when his spirit and every bone in his worthless hide has been broken, I will eat him alive, slowly. Ha ha ha ha ha. Ah it's the simple things in life you treasure.'
The figure pads quietly thinking to himself and seething of anger. His wounds were healing very well and if they kept healing at this rate he'd only have major scarring at the end of the week.
'Hmm, if he's still with the mammoth and sloth then we could have a problem. Well, more the mammoth then the sloth, but the points the same.' The figure winced as he put too much pressure on a wounded leg then noticed the scent of another pack 'Well this is good, Janga owes me a favor, and he has a very large pack. This could work to my favor.'
Stopping he called his remaining pack
"Change in plans boys, we're heading to Janga's territory for some food, rest, and extra troops."
Wisely none of the pack said anything, but rather nodded and followed him.
Meanwhile Diego had finally convinced Manny to let him walk on his own four paws again. It hurt like hell but he felt more relaxed as it took his mind off the coming problem.
Janga, a saber-toothed tiger with rather dark red fur and green eyes, stretched lazily on the snow. He was the leader of one of the largest packs in the area, and with a total of 34 sabers, including kittens at his command, his was a force to be reckoned with.
"Oh I'm bored" he said to no-one in particular 'It's so boring when it's not mating season' he thought
Just then four sabers walked up Janga just watched them knowing that his sentries would have stopped them if they didn't have a good reason. Suddenly recognizing one of them he jumped up with a grin on his muzzle, but after one look at his old friend his jaw dropped. He only managed to sputter out a few words.
"W.wha.what happened?"
"I need your help my old friend," he said
"Who did this to you? Where's the rest of your pack?" Janga managed to sputter out.
"Diego," was his only word Janga's jaw dropped, Diego had always been loyal and trustworthy. Janga had always said that if he were in trouble Diego could be counted on to bail him out. He was the perfect role model for the young ones. He always carried himself high, but not overly so, he never bragged, rarely shouted, and never put his foot in his mouth. He always knew what to say and how to say it. The thought that someone that good and loyal would turn traitor was more then Janga could believe.
The other waits patiently for several minutes watching his old friend pace and curse quietly before he says one thing.
"You did say you owed me one favor of my choosing when I helped you take out those humans and gain your leadership, Janga."
Bareing his teeth and closing his eyes tightly, Janga nods reluctantly and gathers ten of his best sabers to join the coming battle. And after thinking it through and helping his old friend rest and eat, his fury with Diego had become almost unmatched.
The nest night Diego awoke to the sound of feet, only Manny and Sid were still sleeping. Suddenly the sounds of claws against rocks could be heard. It kept him up all night. When morning came Manny woke up and found Diego shakily sitting near the cave entrance, when Manny poked him on the shoulder Diego fell forward, fast asleep.
Who? What? When? Where? Why? These are the questions running through Diego's mind. If you can you figure out whom is stalking him and why I'll give you a cookie. (Eventually)
Prelude to my next fic BLADE:
'Damn that bastard! If I ever see his worthless hide again I'll break his other saber off!' The saber named Blade, a saber who was at least 25 in his people's years, about Diego's size with ice blue eyes(almost unheard of) and well muscled. He winced in pain again as the saber tooth that was lodged in his side shifted again.
That's all you guys get for now. Stay tuned.
