"Who are you staring at?" Shira growled. Diego then realized what he was doing and quickly fake coughed, "Oh..um...I was...making sure you weren't hurt." He then flashed a cheesy smile.
Shira rolled her eyes and sat down.
There was then an awkward silence between the duo.
Diego shifted around nervously and spotted land. The ship got closer and closer and the pirates jumped off and landed on the soft,warm sand. Diego narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Well, we're at my home." he said.
The blue-eyed saber saw nothing.
"So where is your pack?" Diego smirked, "They hide in case intruders come." he explains. Shira rolled her eyes once again and was heard a loud thumping noise coming to her way. "What the?"
"Here they come."
The sabers saw three mammoths, two sloths, and two possums.
"Hey Diego. Whose the other saber?" The brown mammoth asked, glaring down at the pirate. Diego smiled at her, "She decided to not kill me after I ran into her crew. Her name's Shira."
Manny stared at him for a while before walking off.
The younger mammoth, Peaches, kept smiling at her. "Are you my auntie now, Miss Shira?" she asked. The silver-white saber widened her eyes and clawed at the hard ground. "No I am not." she huffed.
The baby mammoth (she is a baby and not a teen) giggled and followed her mom to get something to eat. Crash and Eddie bounced their way over to Diego and hopped on his either side of his shoulders.
"Heh heh. Shira and Diego sitting in the tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-" they weren't able to finish their song as both sabers grabbed one of them and threw them far away. Diego and Shira sighed and glanced at each other.
"What now?" the silver pirate asks.
The orange saber shrugs, "Well, I guess we get to know each other now." he suggested. Shira slightly smiled. "Yeah, I'd like that."
They then started walking around on the soft sand and Shira looked around.
"So...umm... where're you from?" Diego questioned. That was then Shira froze in tracks, every haunting memory of her past came rushing back. She closed her eyes ans shuddered at the memory, "I was from a pack that wanted me dead, I guess." she said.
Diego pinned his ears back against his head. "How did you escape?"
"By jumping off a cliff and somehow surviving the fall. But where are you from?" The orange saber shrugged, "I actually don't know. All I remember is that I was adopted by...him and I turned my back on him and now I live a life as pirate."
Shira smirked, "Who is this, him you speak of?"
"I don't wanna talk about it." he mumbled.
Shira's heart softened as she his face.
Maybe I can be nice and not ruthless, she thought.
Ahhhh yeah! This story is almost over before the sequel come out! Just 1 more chapter to go and I'll be done. Wait...I forgot to tell y'all I was working on a sequel. Oops. It's called, well I don't have a title for it yet, but I'll think of one. But Gutt and his crew will return in the sequel as the main villians. Hoped you enjoyed this chapter! :)
