Sorry, it took a while, I was busy with school and I didn't have a lot of time to work on my story.
This chapter is mainly about the conversation in the tree. I like it because it has more Diego and Shira moments.
I hope you guys enjoy this chapter.
(I don't own ice age) (I dont know what happened there but i fixed it.)
Diego was laying down in the tree prison just thinking to himself. "Well, it looks like I'm back where I began. In a prison by myself and no way out. This time I'm trapped by the person who gave me scars. For all, I know she is going to try and kill me again."
Diego's thoughts were interrupted when he heard a branch snap. He turned his head behind him and growled. He saw it was Shira.
"Easy Softie, water" Shira slid a bowl of water to him. "You need it"
Diego passed the bowl back "I don't need anything from you"
Shira shrugged "Fine, die of thirst that'll show me"
Shira began to walk away, but Diego stopped her.
"Wait. I'll take it"
Shira passed the bowl to him again.
"Thank you"
"You know you have a way of saying thank you that makes it seem like drop dead."
"I only actually say thank you to people who deserve it"
Shira rolled her eyes and was about to walk away.
Diego slightly chuckled. "Wow you're such a little kitty, for a saber"
"Excuse me, I am not a kitty okay?"
"Oh, Shira-Pooh" Sid skipped up to her. "Hey, I made you another coral necklace." Sid leaned at Diego. "She keeps losing them" Sid chuckled a bit and skipped away.
Diego looked amused. "I'm starting to see why you aren't in a pack."
Shira sighed. "Like I told you before I chose to leave my pack"
"Well congratulations, Kitty. So did I"
"Really?"
"What?"
"Nothing I just know how hard it is, leaving everything you had."
Diego laughed. "You think it was hard. All it took was just helping a saber deliver a baby. Well until the saber betrayed the only person who gave everything, which was not a lot to help her."
Shira was silent. She realized that he was right.
Diego went on. "And you think I would die of thirst? Let me ask you something, have you ever been trapped in a cave with no way out, just sitting there letting time go by with no food or water? Knowing you would die in 3 days. "
"Well you got out didn't you?"
Diego ignored her sentence. "And what was your excuse again? You having an easy life as a cub and when you actually needed to be a part of the pack you decided to leave, with no memory of them. Well at least my pack gave me something to remember them by"
"What are you-" Shira stopped and saw something that she hadn't noticed before.
Diego laid on his side, chest facing the entrance, bright moonlight shines inside the entire tree.
At first, Shira saw nothing then she saw them. Scars and lots of them. Shira had never seen so many scars on a person. She had a surprised look on her face.
"What happened?" She asked.
Diego got up. "I guess you were right if you fail a task from your pack leader they do try to kill you. And you can guess how they were able to get me"
Shira knew he was talking about when she knocked him out. "I'm sorry"
"Oh wow after 2 years now you finally say sorry and you expect me to forgive you. So what are we going to braid each other's fur now?"
"Funny, really funny. Can I tell you the difference between you and me?"
"I'd still wouldn't be wearing that necklace"
Shira realized she was still wearing the necklace and ripped it off. "No, we both might've walked away from our packs, but at least I didn't trade one pack for another. I got something better.
"Oh yeah, what's that?"
"A herd"
"What's the difference?"
"We have each other's backs"
"Gutt has my back. I'm his first mate"
"Really? Cause I don't see Gutt sending any search parties for you"
Diego was silent for a minute and said "You know, you won't beat him. Your big furry friend over there, he has no idea what he's up against."
"Yeah, but neither does Gutt"
I'm sorry that I haven't posted a chapter in a while. I was busy with school and I couldn't finish the chapter.
Please review and favorite and I'll get the next chapter soon.
