Chapter 6: Storms and Unwelcomed follower

Cera was sleeping well like the others when she felt a rain drop land on her snout looking up the dark clouds showed the morning sun was covered behind the thick and stormy clouds. "Oh Great" Cera mumbled and heard a loud roaring sound as a flash of lightning that didn't sound like thunder. "What was that?"

The others woke up hearing her and the roaring sound "Don't know… it sounded not right" Littlefoot said looking at her instantly answering. Spike even woke up looking around for the source.

Petrie hid under Littlefoot "Me no like it!"

With the swimmers Zila heard it with eyes opened he looked towards the source of the sound then he turned to the herd and shouted "Wake up!"

They all woke from the sound and Zila yelling "What is it?" Ducky's mum asked

"It trouble! We need to move now!" Zila said with a sound voice meaning that he was sure it was something he feared the most the herd woke up. The kids was picked up by the adults and given a ride as the herd now awake moves as the rain started to fall very hard with lightning and thunder.

"Turio what going on?" Ducky asked as they rid on Ducky's mum back.

Turio looked at her "I think father think it Chaser evil talking sharptooth with big long snout and big sail on it back" Turio said with a bit of fear.

"Chaser?" Ducky looked at him with a slow nod from him as another roar was heard from the same area but like before lightning strikes.

The group of kids was jumpy right as they moved through the lands quick to keep far from that roaring sound that they took as lightning but didn't like to take the chance if it was something even worse. They was now very edgy and every lightning flash brings fear to an increase looking for anything that not normal as they followed the path towards the river.

A pair of green slit eyes looked at the kids walking by a open area then it came out of the shadows when a flash of lightning came in the rain they looked hearing a massive crash from something heavy they saw a long snout sharptooth come right at them.

"Ahhh!" they all screamed running in four directions as the sharptooth dived at they but not going it put down the feet with the claws dragging it to a stop and swiftly moves the head right at Littlefoot.

Littlefoot was lucky to get clear from a closing snapping jaw looking back as he ran the sharptooth with the long snout had a large sail on its back and the sharptooth eyes fixed on him with a shift push it was out running him in seconds coming closer and closer.

"Ahh!" Littlefoot shouted with fear running hard as his four feet can do but he looked again and the sharptooth mouth was right next to him opened up but then Littlefoot went under a rock ledge and the sharptooth crashed into it with a massive crash.

"That was clo…" Littlefoot was saying when the Sharptooth shouted at him

"Your lucky! I almost had a snack out of you! I will eat you!" it roared with a deep scary voice

"It talked?" Littlefoot gasped backing away as the sharptooth used it large arms to grab the rocks with it three claw hands and pulled the rocks apart. "And smart?"

"Leave him alone!" Cera shouted hitting her head in the back of the sharptooth foot.

He turned to Cera "I Chaser will for a threehorn snack" he said with a roaring voice and turns around quite quickly for a normal sharptooth.

"Erm… I was joking…" Cera gulped and runs off screaming "AHHH!" Cera screeched with Petrie flying alongside her

"Me found hiding place… Spike in there" Petrie leads Cera into a cave with Chaser smashing into it with his snout entering part of the cave he tried opening his mouth to get them but the size was too small to get a jaw opened he pulled out of it

Chaser looked at the entrance with Littlefoot watching with fear from where he stood with water dripping from his body from all the rain falling and lightning flashes. Chaser swings around about to hit his tail into the wall "Noo!" Littlefoot cried out then out of nowhere a rock hits Chaser causing him to trip over hitting the ground hard. That gives the chance for Cera, Petrie and Spike to run out of the cave to Littlefoot they stop and look to see two red dinosaurs.

"Red Swimmers?" Cera looked at the two.

"Wow never seen such…" Littlefoot stops hearing the roar from the sharptooth Chaser

"Grr! Who did that to me?" Chaser growls looking at the two red scaled swimmers.

"We did" one of them said which was female and the other said after "Silla and Jilla" he said both looking at him

"Pick on someone else" Silla said to Chaser

"Another one brother" Jilla said to Silla. He throw the rock with a claw hand and Jil hits it with her tail swinging around hitting it into Chaser he growled and roared at them but he couldn't be asked to dual with them in the storm.

"I will be back you Swimmers" Chaser sneered and runs of into the rain disappearing from view and the thuds of his steps disappearing as well leaving the two swimmers with the kids.

"Wow thank you!" Littlefoot smiled looking up at the swimmers

Cera looked at them as well "Wow you two was cool! The way you scared off that sharptooth" Cera said with a smirk "I did good as well making him not chase Littlefoot"

"But he chase us" Petrie spoke up with the water dripping from the rain fall still hammering down "We was scared of him too"

Cera was about to give Petrie a blow but the swimmers Sila and Jila speak up "Well why don't we" Silla started

"Get of the rain" Jilla said after him

"Follow us" they said together and lead off to a large opening in the cliff wall showing no rain falling in that area.

They follow and then Cera asked "Are you two twins?"

"Yes we are" Silla answered

Jilla looked down at them "We got cut off from our herd that heading to the Great Lake your lucky we was coming by" Jilla said to them

"We had been following for a while wondering why you kids doing out here" Silla lowered his head looking at the children

"Well we following a herd of swimmers Ducky in it our best friend" Littlefoot said the truth of the reason they going "And this is her brother Spike" Littlefoot looked at Spike

"So it true there is a Spiketail in a swimmer family" Silla said looking at Spike "I think your lucky to have a family that takes you in at a young age"

"Yes very" Jilla and Silla smiled with warm looks.

"So what now?" Cera questioned "You take us home?" They all look at Jilla and Silla

Both talked to each other away from the kids near the part of waterfall like flow from the top of the entrance they entered the dry area then came back. "No we going to take you with us it much too dangerous for you four to go back alone and we can't waste time doing it as well" Jilla said with a look that means they will do it.

"So soon as the rain stop we will go to the Great Lake" Silla said "Looks like we taking you with us" he said looking at the kids they cheering and the adults laughing a bit.

The sun beaks through and near where Ducky is the herd come up to a large wall where the river runs beside it. "We almost there!" Turio cheered

"Yes we are son we are" Zila replied with a warm smile with the swimmer herd turning to the left of the river leaving it.

"Now to find it" Ducky's mum said looking at the wall "there green leafs growing all over the cliff this is going to be looking for a egg in the long grass" she said and Ducky giggling finding what she said funny.

"Well I am going to rest I need it" a swimmer spoke putting his back on the cliff wall but what happened next made some gasp at first but burst out laughing the swimmer that wanted to rest found the entrance by falling through it.

"Guess we found it" Zila chuckled as the swimmer got up with his head poking out of the hidden entrance.

"Me and my big mouth" he muttered and they laugh some more as the herd start to enter through the leaf entrance finally got to the Great Lake seeing vines growing over the valley entrance upwards to the lake.
