Chapter 3

Escape

Littlefoot endured dreams of their kidnapping all night. Dreams of his grandparents and the Great Valley. He heard scraping around their prison as he fought wakefulness. He just wanted to sleep, to pretend he was home and safe.

"LITTLEFOOT! HELP!" The scream jolted Littlefoot out of the in between state. Ducky was being held in the forepaw of one of the two-legs. Petrie was dodging them by staying too high for them to reach. The other two, Cera and Spike had long vines tied round their necks.

"Oh no you don't!" Littlefoot declared as he charged right into the two-leg holding Ducky tight. He expected the two-leg to fall, but it just laughed at him. Another two-leg slipped a vine around his neck. He pulled hard, trying to break loose.

"Well, this one sure has a lot of spunk. He'll make a fine weapon once the Dark Lord has him under his command." said one with wild black-fur extending from it's head.

Another chuckled, "I just wonder how the Dark Lord intends to make it so that magic won't hurt them. After all, the big ones fell real easy to a simple stunner."

"I don't know, but he'll do it alright, his name doesn't make folk cringe for no reason." stated the one who held Littlefoot's vine.

Littlefoot looked at his friends, and continued struggling. If he couldn't get away then what good was his encouragement to them last night. He'd promised they'd get out of there.

"Stop struggling, monster!" yelled the two-leg as his leg lashed out to kick him in the rear. He stopped struggling alright. For now.

He looked at his friends with a defiant look, "Go with it for now. We need to go up that weird hill to get to the exit, and we need them to lead us so we know where we are." He whispered, unsure if the two-legs could understand him like he understood them.

So the others all stopped struggling too. They trusted Littlefoot with their lives. And slowly they were marched up the strange hill. Even Ducky sat placidly in the two-leg's forepaw, waiting for Littlefoot to give the word.

Littlefoot waited as they were marched through a large opening in the cave and into a even bigger cave. He looked all around, what strange terrain. And there were strange rock formations against the cave walls. There were multiple other openings that appeared to lead into other caves. And then he saw it. From his vantage point, he could see another opening with a smaller opening in it. He could see sunlight streaming through it. That was it, that's what they needed. "NOW!!" he cried head-butting the two-leg holding him.

The two-leg obviously wasn't expecting it and lost hold of the vine. Littlefoot dashed away. The other four followed suit, with Ducky and Petrie BITING their captors. Together they hurried through the first opening and towards the one that would get them out of there.

"NO! STOP THEM!!" shouted one of the two-legs. They whipped out their sticks and fired the strange lights at them.

"Keep running guys, we're almost there!" Littlefoot pressed on.

Spike was stopped when his vine got caught on a large cushiony something. He tried to pull away but he just got more stuck. He roared out in alarm.

Ducky heard and raced back to help untangle her brother, with Petrie joining her. "Hold on Spike,"

"We get you free!" Petrie promised.

But before they could free Spike from his vine, the two-legs descended upon them. They were recaptured. This left Cera and Littlefoot to escape alone. They prayed that they would make it and bring help.

Cera ran ahead of Littlefoot and ran into the barrier blocking the final opening. It was knocked to the side with slam and the two raced down another strange hill and finally onto terrain they recognized.

"Keep going Littlefoot, we're out but we're not safe yet. Those two-legs are still coming." Cera urged her friend.

The friends panted as they ran as fast as their short legs could carry them into a forest behind the big cave. They had no idea just how close the two-legs were. Not until Littlefoot heard Cera scream. He turned around. A pair of the two-legs had grabbed her by her hind legs and were pulling her back towards them.

"CERA!" he made to go to her rescue.

"No, Littlefoot! Run! Go get the grown-ups!" she demanded, "I'll be okay on my own!"

Littlefoot felt tears peak but he knew that if he tried to save her, he'd only get recaptured too. And that wouldn't do any of them any good. He remembered what they had told Petrie. If one of them could escape, that one should and get help. And so with a heavy heart he turned and continued bounding away as fast as he could, losing the two-legs through the tall brush of the forest. But he swore that he would find help and come back to save his friends.

AN: Alright, admittedly not the best chapter in the bunch. Littlefoot is now lost in a modern day forest, but believes himself to still be in his time, as he doesn't yet know about time travel and still has yet to understand about magic. Next to come: Littlefoot meets Severus Snape who takes the frightened dinosaur to Hogwarts, where he meets a new friend who amazingly does understand him, where the other two-legs do not.
