Sudo gave a evil grin and took a few steps forward.

"What is he talking about Kanya?" Diego demanded looking at Kanya who was staring at Sudo. "She made a deal with us. She brings you to us and she gets to join the pack." Sudo interjected.

Diego looked at Kanya backing up , snarls ripping through him. Kanya took a deep breath looking straight at Diego. "Yes. But that was before I got to know you! All of you! Now- "

Diego snarled loudly and lurched foreward his claws sinking into Kanya's skin. Kanya made no struggle and she sunk into the snow. Diego was about to sink his teeth into her neck when a heavy body crashed into him.

Sudo let out a roar and all twenty of the other tigers leapt upon Manny while Diego wrestled with Sudo. Diego winced feeling teeth sink into his shoulder. His body twisted slicing at sudo's face.

Blood dripped from sudo's now deeply cut muzzle. Sudo now enraged lifted a paw and cutting diego across the belly.

Manny let out a trumpet of air kicking away snarling tigers. Scratches covered his heavily furred body. The tigers suddenly backed off scared for their own necks as the nragd mammoth swung his heavy body around.

Diego was pinned. He looked up at sudo waiting for the final blow to come. "here's your payback diego." Sudo said lifting his claws.

"NO!" Kanya's voice came and her body flew through the air tackling sudo. Blood dripping from both tigers as they rolled, wrestling, biting and clawing.

Diego struggled to stand as he watched Kanya become pinned into the snow. His muscles ached to jump, but blood dripped from his belly and he hurt so bad.

Kanya suddenly gave such a loud cry everything went silent except for her lingering roar then silence.

"Kanya!" diego yelled. Sudo's tired body kicked away Kanya's limp bloody one. Sudo turned on diego launching himself towards him. Diego snarled adrenaline flowing through him.

Manny kicked away several sabertooths looking up just in time to see Diego's claws sink into sudo's gut.

Blood splattered the snow and diego yanked away laying in the snow his body now as limp as sudo's lifeless one.

The remaining tigers took off at high speed . Manny walked over to diego nudging him tenderly. "Diego." Manny whispered.

Diego stirred lifting his head. "Kanya." It was the first word out of his mouth. He struggled to get to his feet.Manny used his to trunk and very gingerly helped diego up.

Diego stumbled over to the spot where Kanya's body was laying. Though, there was nothing there. Only the imprint of her body blood staining the pure snow.

Diego let out a roar of sadness and the sky grew grey, the sun no longer shining brightly. Diego let his body fall his heart ripped into pieces.
