LoL This fanfic is a big hit, I've noticed. :) So many people love this story!
Thank you all for reviewing! :D
P.S. This isn't the final chapter. ;)
...
The wolves stalked quietly around, trying to pick up Buck's scent. Andrew facepalmed.
"You idiots, he's underground! Find the herd's scent and follow it there!"
Two hours later, the wolf pack found the trail and, just like the herd, followed the grizzly bear through the ice slides.
They slid to a halt, Andrew's claws extended with fear like a cat. The jungle surrounded them.
"...I...uh...whoa..."
Andrew backed up. "I-I'm going back. You guys find Buck and nab him."
So the older possum went back home, while the grizzly and his comrades chuckled.
"What a coward!"
"Ha! Scaredy cat!"
"He's so wimpy!"
"Now's our chance."
The wolves looked at their leader. "What?" The grizzly grinned. "I can make that whole herd pay for what they did to Gutt. That monkey was my adopted brother, and the mammoth killed him. I'm so gonna make him pay!"
The bear's evil laugh rang through the jungle.
...
Buck's ears twitched, rotating left and right. He stood on his hind legs as high as he could, listening carefully.
The sound of an evil laugh reached his ears.
He didn't like it. He knew that something was up. The one-eyed weasel bounded back to the herd.
"We'd better get moving. Someone's following us, and I don't think he's on our side."
Manny raised an eyebrow. "Uh, Buck, in case you've forgotten, we're surrounded by beasts who aren't on our side."
The beasts he spoke of raised their heads, munching on leaves and other stuff. Buck shook his head. "It's not dinosaurs, Manny. Whatever is following us can speak. It's a mammal for sure."
The herd continued on their way, but then Peaches froze.
Buck looked at her. "Peach?"
"The ground...feel carefully."
Buck stood still, and sure enough, the ground was rumbling, ever so slightly. He got down on all fours and put his ear to the ground, and listened.
"Whatever it is, there's lots of them."
Stacey stood shivering and suggested, "M-maybe we should get out of here before-"
Sudden howling interrupted her, and a pack of wolves shot out of the jungle, gaining speed.
The herd ran, but were stopped instantly. Buck growled and pounced at the nearest wolf, but it's buddy took him down, it's paw holding the weasel's head to the dirt.
A grizzly bear came next, grinning for all the world like a devil.
"Come with us quietly, and your deaths will be painless." he threatened.
As the herd was forced to walk, the wolf holding him down picked Buck up by the head. The weasel yelped as the wolf's fangs dug into his flesh.
Once back in the Ice Age, the wolves and their leader took the herd to their fortress, where Andrew was waiting.

Now I bet you guys are really beginning to hate the villains, huh? Review please! :D
