We had just passed Saber-peak when suddenly we heard growling behind us. I glanced over to Sid who had frozen in his tracks and muttering something under his breath. I then quickly glanced at the two tigers. They had both turned to face the growling. I turned round and saw to big, bulky tigers. No doubt males, I glared at them but I wasn't sure that the noticed. They were staring intently at Diego and Hazel. "Well, well, well, Hazel. Looks like you've joined with another male hey. And a weak one at that!" he snorted looking at Diego. I heard Diego growl a warning under his breath. "Go away, Streaks. I've already told them what you and your arrogant brother are like to us!" she said. This tiger, Streaks didn't look too convinced. He let out a evil chuckle then turned his back to us and started talking to his brother. I felt Sid touch my flank. Poor Sid he must be really frightened, I thought. So I wrapped my trunk round his waist and lifted him up on to my back for a bit of protection. "Thanks Manny." I heard the poor guy say. I smiled but it quickly disappeared when I saw the two bulky brothers nod their heads in agreement. I knew what was coming next!
Sid's POV
Well what can I say, it was such a long walk with me continually looking back over my shoulder seeing if anything was following us. I was certain I heard a noise before we left our camping area. We passed Saber-peak, boy did that look like a tiger! Suddenly their was growling behind us, I knew it, I just knew that something was following us no matter how hard I told Diego, the famous tracker, that something was following us he didn't listen. Well I hope that he felt guilty for not trusting me. I stopped, I couldn't move, frozen. "Dam Diego, he should have listened." I muttered under my breath. I heard one of the animals talk. I quickly turned to face them, tigers! I should have known. What with the growling I should have guessed. I'm so stupid. Whilst I was mentally scolding myself, Hazel spoke to one of them. "Go away, Streaks. I've already told them what you and your arrogant brother are like to us!" she said. This tiger, Streaks didn't look too convinced. He let out a evil chuckle then turned his back to us and started talking to his brother. I felt scared, I suddenly had a feeling that they were going to kill us all. I gulped and placed my paw on Manny's flank. For some protection! What came next surprised me, Manny placed his hairy trunk round my waist and lifted me up on his shoulders. "Thanks Manny." I muttered. Relieved that I was out of harms way, I relaxed. I saw the two tigers nod their heads. I was puzzled I didn't know what they were going to do.
Diego's POV
Listening to Sid telling me that something was following us, was very tiresome. I took a quick glance at Hazel, boy! Was she beautiful. Before I could ask her if she would like to stay with me when our journey down to the south ended, I heard a growling. Dam, Sid was right there was something following us. I turned to find to big, bulky male tigers in front of us, no doubt to get Hazel back. No way would I let that happen. "Well, well, well, Hazel. Looks like you've joined with another male hey. And a weak one at that!" he snorted looking at me. I growled a warning. "Go away, Streaks. I've already told them what you and your arrogant brother are like to us!" she said. This tiger, Streaks didn't look too convinced. He let out a evil chuckle then turned his back to us and started talking to his brother. God, what was going to happen. I was not fit to fight. I knew Manny would help if the need arouse to fighting. But what about Sid and Hazel, sure Hazel could fight. But Sid, he would probably scream like a girl, waddle quickly till the males killed Manny and I, and get himself killed by coming back. I saw the two bulky males nod their heads in agreement. I knew what was coming next. A fight!
Thanks for reviewing and I'm sorry it took me a long time to update. School is slowly killing me!
