Chapter 12: Hello and Goodbye
It was dark in both above and below.
"Well, tiger its up to you, do you want to walk in the night or wait until the morning?" Buck asked.
Diego looked at the mountain and thought for a moment.
"If we climb we could make it half way up, and then rest, then we could continue," Diego said, still looking at the mountain.
"Sounds like a plan, lets go," Buck said and started to walk.
"Wait! Don't I get a say in this?" Andi asked.
"What do you think?" Diego asked.
" Well, first off we should avoid that!" she exclaimed pointing at a dinosaur unknown to her, but to Buck and Diego he was well known.
"Is it just me or did he get bigger?" Diego asked.
"Both," Buck replied.
" Split up!" Diego yelled.
Above the surface..
Shira was inside a cave, the same cave she gave birth in. She replayed the moments in her head. The good times they shared as a family.
"When will you come back?" She asked herself.
"I wish I knew where you were," She said.
"Come on! You're gonna have to try harder to get me!" Buck yelled swinging through the trees and hoping off rocks avoiding Rudy's claws and tail.
Diego ran in the oppisite direction with Andi.
"We have to go help Buck!" Andi said and turned around.
"Andi, no!" Diego exclaimed and grabbed her.
"But-"
"No, you find somewhere safe and I'll go help Buck"
"Dad, I'm not a baby anymore! I know what I'm doing"
"And what if you get hurt?"
"I won't"
"Andi!"
"Dad! Trust me"
"Fine but if you get hurt.."
"I'm not, now come on!" Andi said and ran in Bucks Direction.
Andi was the first on the scene, she saw Buck running twords a cliff, and she immediately got an idea. She ran and started looking for something to either drive Rudy down the cliff or make him fall. She looked over the cliff, It was full of grass at the bottom, and when she looked further she saw the maze. There it was, the red eyes. She thought for a moment and then smiled. She looked for some vines.
Diego, came up and looked at Andi. She pointed to the cliff and was holding vines in her mouth. Diego knew what her plan was. He ran to go and help Buck.
"Buck!" Diego yelled running next to him.
"Hey tiger!" Buck said jumping around the rocks and trees.
"We need to drive him off that cliff," Diego said nodding straight ahead.
"Alright, how?"
"Andi has the idea, just get Rudy to the cliff," Diego said.
Andi was still looking around when she saw a flower. The same type of flower that had spat on her eairlier that day. She had another Idea. She aimed the flower in Rudy, Diego, and Buck's path. She used the vines and made two "safety ropes" she tied them to the tree and hung them over where Buck and Diego would run.
Andi waited for the right moment and sqeezed the flower a few times.
"Get the ropes!" she yelled to Buck and Diego.
Buck saw the green oze on the forest floor and jumped over and grabbed the vine. Diego started to slide and so did Rudy. They both slipped past Andi and Buck. Diego and Rudy went over the cliff.
"Tiger!" Buck yelled.
"I'm fine, but I could use alittle help!" A voice came from over the cliff.
Buck and Andi ran and looked over. To Buck's amazement it was Diego hanging on by the ropes Andi had made.
"Well, your a smart one, you know that," Buck said to Andi.
"Thanks, no help me," Andi said pulling Diego up little by little.
"Lets rest, before we continue," Buck said.
Morning..
"Morning tigers! lets get moving," Buck said waking up Diego and Andi.
"Alright," Diego said getting up.
"Fine," Andi said and got up slowly.
"We go up from here," Buck said and started climbing.
Shira was awaken by the bright sun rays in her face. She stood up and watched the animals migrate.
"Time to find breakfast," She said and started to climb down.
She saw a rat and got close to it. Then she pounced and ate it.
" I won't be able to live off of you guys for a long period of time, I need to find some real food." She told herself.
