Jharii slowly made her way towards guy, avoiding the larger bits of debris scattered around where the cave used to be. Grug was still looking at the ruins of the cave and the rest of the family were making their way towards him, Guy was just standing there looking at the family and what used to be there home. Jharii made it too him and shook his arm to get his attention, he noticed that even though Grug protected everyone, they were all covered in dust and dirt. Jharii gently grabbed Guy's arm and lead him towards the ret f her family.
Grug stood up just as the pair reached the rest of the family; they all stood there for a moment before Eep ran to where the back of the cave used to be.
"You really need to see this" she said amazed.
Everyone walked over and saw what Eep was looking at; it looked like a whole new world. There were greens, blues and a multitude of other colours everywhere, it was a beautiful sight and it was behind the cave the entire time, they had to be careful though as they were standing at the edge of a steep cliff. As they were standing there looking at the very different landscape a bear owl quietly snuck up on the family. It roared and everyone spun around in shock, it charged and Grug picked up a medium rock and threw it at the bear owl. It distracted the creature long enough for the family and Guy to run towards the new landscape, they ended up slipping and falling down the steep cliff.
Luckily they all missed the jagged rocks on the cliff as they fell, everyone landed heavily on various plants in the forest below, and Sandy ended up sliding on a mossy rock and landed on Grug's back. Jharii slowly stood up and watched her family rise from the ground; it looked like no one had any serious injuries just some small cuts and bruises. While the family looked around amazed and scared of their new surroundings Guy was looking towards the blue sky which was steadily becoming darker.
Guy knew it would be highly unlikely that they would find and shelter which would mean he would have make a fire to ward away predators. Guy could think of a few problems with doing that, first only Jharii knew about how he creates fire and second Grug only barely tolerates him because he's new, he didn't want to think about how Grug would react to fire.
"I think we should start heading in the direction of the mountain, but it's your decision Grug" Guy said loudly enough to get everyone's attention. Grug looked uncertain as to what to do, they could try to find a new cave and forget that the day never happened or follow Guy's advice and head towards the mountain.
"We are going to the mountain" Grug said loudly, in what he hoped was an encouraging voice. Guy was right about the other stuff so Grug was trusting him enough to get his family to a safe place, he could also see the looks the Guy gave Jharii when she wasn't looking, he may not have liked it because she was his little girl but he was satisfied that Jharii didn't seem to noticed any of it or seem interested in Guy. Grug lead the way through the forest stopping constantly to ensure that it was safe, it did get a bit annoying but no one said anything.
When it become too dark the family and Guy took shelter under an outcropping slab of rock that they found, it wouldn't offer any protection against predators but at least if it rained they wouldn't get wet. Guy contemplated how he would create a fire without the family becoming scared or angry, he decided it would make things easier if he explained what a fire was to the family before he made one. He eventually obtained the families attention then carefully explained what a fire was and what he wanted to do, everyone excluding Jharii had objections but they all eventually agreed that making a fire would keep predators away.
Once he had a small fire going with the random sticks and branches he could find in the dark Guy sat down next to Jharii and decided to get to know her and her family even more. He spent the next hour or two learning more about the Croods, why they live they way they do and what happened to the other families. In turn they asked about him and his family, he was fine answering the questions about himself but said he didn't want to talk about his family.
After that Grug told a story which ended like they usually do, in death. By the end of the story Gran, Sandy and Thunk were asleep; Grug and Ugga lie down next to the three and promptly fell asleep. Jharii and Guy ended up lying down next to each other, they talked for a while about what they think would happen in the coming days and how Jharii's family would cope. Jharii asked Guy how he knew so much about surviving and he explained that he had been living alone for years so it was an important thing for him to learn.
Jharii stared up at the dark sky and watched the many suns shine while Guy was talking, she thought it was a beautiful site and wished she could have enjoyed it more in the past. Once Guy had finished talking he asked Jharii what she thought of the new environment and she was honest when she said she loved it and wished she could live somewhere like that instead of the cave she and her family would end up living in when one was found.
Guy listened to Jharii and couldn't help but notice the longing and sadness in her voice and wished he could give her the life she wanted. After a couple of minutes of silence he looked over and saw that Jharii was asleep and thought that she was adorable when she slept. He rolled over to face her then he let sleep overcome him.
