When We Get to The South
Chapter 5- Please, Just Tell Us How To Help You. (Manny's POV)
Hitting the ground, Diego emitts a roar of pain. I can't tell if its because he landed on his wounded arm or its a new wound all together, something tells me however, that it might have been something new. As I rear back to lower my head in a defensive position, Diego suddenly shifts his weight, and sends the intruding animal flying over his head. He rolls up, standing his ground gingerly but as quickly as the attacker came he was gone again. Diego sways slightly, and I wait a moment to see if he'll topple or stay on his feet.
"Diego?" I ask watching him.
"I'm all right." He says quietly.
"You don't look all right." Sid replies.
"I'm fine." He growls.
"Then why are you bleeding again?" There was a long pause and Diego seems to watch in fascination as blood leaks down and mingles with his fur. He shakes his head slightly and looks back at us.
"Its fine, lets just go." Diego takes a hesitant step and limps forward.
"Is it a new wound?" I ask as he heads towards us.
"I'm all right." Diego insists in a voice that tells me he's definatly not. And the way Sid is looking at me, he can tell he's being proud too. He can barely move, but he's limping along like we won't notice. He moves past and Sid stops by my side.
"What do we do?" Sid asks, as he watches Diego go.
"Follow him I guess." I reply reluctantly. "Follow him until he has no choice but to stop."
"Are you sure?"
"What else can we do? You wanna try and stop him?" Sid glances over at Diego and winces.
"No."
"Then we're following him. He won't be able to get far." With that said, I pick up my step and fall in beside Diego. Sid lingers behind for a moment before scurrying to catch up.
******************************************************************************************
Diego surprised me and had been able to go a lot longer than I had expected. He was determined I had to give him that. I had managed to get a look at the wound. It was a new one, up in his shoulder. The original wound is by his ribcage on his side and extends up part of his lower fore leg. The new one is just in his shoulder, but that one is still bleeding badly. His entire front leg has turned a dark color from the blood sticking to his coat. He looks really tired and his limping is coming out more forced. I hang back a moment to let him get ahead of me and I fall in step next to Sid.
"I thought you said he wouldn't get far, we've had to have gone a couple miles by now!"
"I didn't know he was going to be so determined." I reply with a hiss indicating to keep his voice down. Diego seemed to be slowing down then.
"Wait, I think he's stopping." Sid said. Diego suddenly fell sideways, causing the snow to puff out slightly as his body hit the ground
kay, chapter 5. If you want more you gotta let me know it guys. Special thanks to all those who faithfully review. I love you guys!
