Chapter 9: The Maze of Sanity part 1
"Andi! slow down!" Diego yelled following his crazy daughter.
"I see a green deer!" she yelled back. About half a mile she came to a dead stop. Meanwhile Diego almost ran into her coming to skidding stop. Both looked up infront of them a path of trees going down straight and then cutting off in opisite directions. Andi laughed crazily and fainted. Diego raised a brow at the knocked out cub.
"Eh, tiger we're here?" Buck said, "The Maze of Sanity"
Diego said nothing. He just simply picked up the young cub and started to walk. Buck had a confused look on his face but followed after Diego.
"Please, please. please, find your way back," Alex said looking up at the sunset," I know what I said, and I know what I whished for, but please you two have to come back. I can't grow up fatherless, and as much as it pains me to say this, I miss you Andi," Alex said. He never knew what it was like to be alone without a sister and he defenetly couldn't imagine life without a father. He questioned his mother's expectations to have Diego and Andi back. He wondered if he would ever see them again or meet his legendary uncle Buck. For the last two days he had nighmares about them. He would never tell anyone but as soon as his father came home from 'The Dinoworld' he would tell him everything. He would tell Diego about the graphic deatils, the blood, the horror he faced everytime he tried to fall asleep. It didn't matter when he fell asleep, the nightmares came and woke him up from his slumber.
Shira also had nightmares but not as bad as Alex. She had dreams about Diego getting killed or eated by a dinosaur. Dreams about Andi falling off a cliff and plumeting to a lava filled death or drowning. Every night she looked up at the sky, at the moon, and the stars, like she used to do with do with Diego. She not only saw Diego as her mate but as her protecter. He saved her from her devil of a father. She was greatfull to have Diego ,and didn't want to give hime up or lose him.
Peaches was also hit hard by the realization about her uncle and her cousin. Diego was her favorite uncle. She knew he was very soft, all she had to do was give him her best puppy dog eyes and he would do anything for her. He once took her on a hunt, and she found it fasinating how Diego could run fast and take down a deer. But once she saw the blood she almost threw up. Peaches was Andi's babysitter and she lost Andi a few times but managed to find her before Diego and Shira returned. Sid was also hit hard too. One of his bestfriends was lost in the dinoworld with little chance of getting out alive. When Sid thought about what happened last he would have his doubts about ever seeing them again. We barley made it out last time!, Sid thought to himself. He had babysitted Andi and Alex many times but, almost everytime he lost the little ones. Manny also was troubled but he managed to cover it up by shorting his temper more than it already was. He would snap easily and no one knew why. The truth was that he was concerned and scared. Ellie hid it well with her happy personality. She was happy and would see the good in everything, she knew what would happen if she thought about losing Diego and Andi too much. She would start to cry alitte. Diego and Andi were alike in many ways and both had a stone hard side and both had a soft, sensitive, and kind side. When Ellie had problems, before Shira was part of the herd she talked to Diego or Sid. Since Andi was born and saw Ellie alone next to a waterfall, she listened to the female mammoth and did her best to help. In doing that the little saber touched her heart. Crash and Eddie took it hard too, but they concealed it by pranking everyone, except Manny.
"Mmm, Dad? My head hurts," Andi said rubbing her throbing head.
"Your gonna be fine, don't worry," Buck said.
"Why'd you let me eat those?" she asked refering to the flowers.
"I didn't know what they were, until Buck told me," Diego said muffled by all the fur in his mouth.
"Sorry," Buck said. Andi looked at him but didn't do anything.
"Where are we?" She asked.
"The maze of sanity," Buck said in a creepy voice.
"What happeneds here?" Diego asked.
"Well they say if you don't get out in time the maze will play tricks on your mind and hold you hostage for the rest of your life. We have to be careful and remember everything is not as it seems," Buck's famous last words before walking three hours in circles, without knowing.
Kit:Short chapter we know, sorry.
Kat: We were rushed though this.
Diego: Well, it's not that bad.
Kit*sarcasticly*: Thanks
Diego rolls eyes.
