chapt 6

The young long neck couldn't believe his eyes, standing in front of him was Cera who appeared to be out of breath. There was also a look of fear deep within her brown eyes, Littlefoot wondered what had happened for the "fearless leader of the three horns" to become so afraid. But before he could ask her, Ducky beat him to it.

"t-t-there's a sharp-tooth in the valley!" Cera told them after finally catching her breath.

Oh no! I must warn the herds. Was the first instant thought in Littlefoot's head. "where did you see it Cera?" he asked.

The three horn's nose flamed, "what do you think I'm stupid! That I can't protect my herd! I only came here to warn you and the other herds about the danger?"

both Littlefoot and Ducky were slightly taken aback by Cera's sudden mood change, they had been used to her changing moods long before they where children but it was never this intense or brought on so quickly. After all they did normally get a warning from her body language, but this time they did not.

"I'm going back to my herd now, they need protecting!" she huffed and then as quickly as she had came the three horn left without another word.

"Ducky you go and find Ali, Petrie and Spike!" Littlefoot commanded, after all they have to be warned. "I shall go and find the other herds and warn them. Let's go!" and with that they both went their separate ways.

Ducky headed down towards the river where her herd where spending the afternoon, the revelation which she had just found out had at first surprised her but after a few seconds the warning had been lodged permanently in her mind. Her surprised reaction quickly melted into fear and panic. No, I can't think about that now! I have to think about my herd and their safety! She told herself when she began to think if the sharp-tooth was following her, stalking it's prey. When she arrived at her destination Danuk met her half way on the bank.

Seeing her panicked expression he asked her what was wrong.

"Sharp-tooth in the valley." she told him. With this revelation he gasped before asking what she was going to do with the herd.

In truth Ducky did not know but quickly answered him, "we shall be on our guard and hopefully, when Littlefoot comes back we will ask him what we shall do."

Danuk didn't seem convinced, "how can we trust the long neck? Or the flyer? In fact how can we trust any of your friends?" he asked suspiciously.

Hurt and shocked that he, her beloved mate could reveal that he didn't trust any of her friends made Ducky think that maybe, just maybe she had made the wrong choice by choosing him as her mate. Why didn't she chose Lars, the nice but quiet Duckbill who was always on his own? Why did she chose him? Oh, yes mom! Her mother and father chose him.

Oblivious to his mates negative thoughts Danuk continued, "it's even bad enough that you have that out of our species brother. I mean what where your parents thinking when they took him in? If it was me I would have abandoned him!" he told her.

"How dare you!" Ducky yelled, her hurt over his revelation that he didn't trust her friends turned into anger when she listened to her slate her "brother". Everyone near the pair turned his/her attention to the arguing duckbills.

Meanwhile Littlefoot had just reached his herd when he herd a scream, he turned around and saw Cera and her herd running as fast as they could in his direction.

"whats wrong?" he called out. But no one answered him.

But it soon became clear what had cause the herd to run because it soon came into view.

Well what did you think? Good/ bad? Please read and review!
