The Emperor's New Groove:
Falling in Love Isn't For an Emperor
Chapter 4: The Jungle Chase

((Sorry it took so long to write this. I was busy! o^-^o))

I shook my head while thinking This cannot be happening....AGAIN! Before I could think anymore though, Raina grabbed the scruff of my neck and started running. She quickly let go when she found that I could run on my own two...uh....four feet. The jaguars gave chase of course, and it ended up almost the same as last time: We came to the edge of a cliff.....

We were cornered and it looked like the end. Until Raina saw a stick, picked it up and tossed it at the jaguars, which, in turn, only made them angrier. "Well, that didn't work..." She said, laughing nervously.

She looked down. There was a raging river below us. She then looked at me and gulped. "Looks like the only way out of this would be to jump..."

If I forgot I was a llama, I would have yelled, "What?! Are you crazy?!!!" But instead, I just shook my head.

"It's either that, or we're jaguar meat, Little One! Now jump!" She took a deep breath and jumped.

I shook my head, groaned, and jumped too.

If she wasn't screaming, she would have heard me screaming. Good thing she didn't though, cause it would be kinda weird to hear a llama screaming. But, anyway, so we landed in the water and I came up to the surface, gasping for air. Unfortunally, Raina was no where to be found. I wanted to call her name, but that would be giving away my identity. I felt so helpless. So I decided to dive in and look around. There was Raina, at the bottom of the river. I tried my hardest to swim down there, but you know, I don't think llamas are very good swimmers. I made it anyway, grabbed Raina with my hands....uh...hooves, and brought her back up to the surface.

I brought her over to the shore and laid her down by a tree. Floating nearby, was some of her things that had drifted out of her little "stick and cloth" suitcase thing. I managed to get a hold of one of those poncho things that Pacha wears and some other clothes. I shivered and looked over at Raina, who was waking up.

She opened her eyes groggily. "Ow...what....happened?" She looked over at me. "Little One...you..saved me didn't you?"

I looked away shyly.

She smiled though, and laughed. "Heh....I never thought I would be saved by a llama..." She laughed again and took one of those poncho things I saved. She covered herself up with it and laid down.

I looked at the sky. It was pretty dark and I was pretty tired. I took a green poncho and covered up and laid down. Before going to sleep, however, I looked over at Raina and smiled. It had been a while since I did something good for somebody else......

((Again, sorry that took so long! And, I only call those things ponchos because that's the only thing I can think of to call it. Also, do you guys like the new name?))
