Chapter Two
The creature was strangely shaped and furry except it had almost furless. It had long straight fur coming out of its head. Some from its ears and nose. Some coming around its upper lips and all around its mouth and chin. It had eye hairs. Some hair on it's its arms and chests. Littlefoot knew what it was or thought he did. He wasn't too sure. He had heard about some strange hairy creatures that talked like Sharp tooth, ate like small furries and had long arms . Most lived in trees and mountains. They came in all sizes and shapes. They called them tree furries. , but this furry didn't look like it belong in the trees. His father, Bron told him about tree furries. These tree furries were not pleasant looking things nor were they friendly. They were mean. They yelled, jumped up and down, and threw things at far travelers. Tree furries threw whatever they get it their paws on; rocks, dirt, tree sweeties, and even their own food waste. They sometimes had sharp teeth , but some had large flat teeth. He smiled and bobbed his large hairy head about grunting. He suddenly spoke. "Thank you, Longneck, for freeing us. You deserve a reward. I know you will know both Sharp tooth and the languages of men. " Littlefoot had never seem a true furry before nor had he ever wanted to. They were not known to be pleasant furries. He didn't know what to expect this tree furry. The tree furry lifted its arms with a large stick and chanted in a strange speech. " Aayou , bootable, eels, tum, give this young longneck the speech of Sharp tooth and man. Runrrup, sir r day, Images of Sharp tooth roaring, and the chatting of tree furries inside Littlefoot's eyes. " Wow. " Littlefoot could and say with eyes wide open and mouth even wider. The tree furry worn a thick furry skin of another furry on its back and around its hips . The tree furry kept muttering his chanting, wavering his stick around Lightfoot's head and body.
When the enchanting had ended, Tiara grunted. " Are you okay, Littlefoot?" " Yes, I am fine." Responded Littlefoot grunting back in surprise. "I speak and understand Sharp tooth. " Littlefoot said. Tiara looked puzzled look. " I mean., " Littlefoot grunted, " I know Sharp tooth now." "Oh!" Tiara reacted. " Do you understand me now, Longneck? " asked the old tree furry. " Yes, I can. " replied Littlefoot. " Good, now you can speak and know the Sharp tooth and the language of men. " The true furry answered. " What's men, Tree furry, sir?" Littlefoot asked the tree furry. "It's the kind of tree furry I am." The old tree furry said with pride. Here is what I got so far.
It is nice to meet you. Little foot said to the strange tree furry. " It is nice to meet you, Longneck." Answered the strange creature.
" I was captured here by other tree furry similar to myself. They call me Cave Healer." The strange creature said.
"Hello, Cave Healer, my name is Little foot." Little foot replied. " Do you and Tiara know each other?"
"The Sharp tooth. Yes, I can speak and understand Sharp tooth. " The Cave Healer answered. " We were trying to find a way to escape before you came to rescue us."
" How did you get captured by other naked tree furry and why did they captured you?" Little foot asked in surprise.
"Tiara and I have known each other since we were held capture in another tree furry camp. We escape only to be recapture again. They set traps all over the Mysterious Beyond capturing other tree furries and Sharp tooth. They are working for a tree furry leader call Ivan the Sharp tooth slaver .
Tiara groaned. " Forget about Ivan. Let's get out of her before we get capture again. Ow! My foot hurts. Tiara tried to move her left foot, but it was swollen from being in the trap. Slowly, Tiara moved her foot forward as she tried to walk up the trail along the steep slope to get out of hole where she and the Cave Healer had been trapped in. Cave Healer walked with her while Little Foot was in the rear. Somethings were making noises down below them where Tiara and the Cave Healer had been trapped. Little Foot was close enough to hear the noises. He understood what the noises were. "The prisoners have escaped!"
"Oh no! Ivan the Sharp tooth slaver is coming! Quick, let us hurry and find someplace to hid." Cried the Cave Healer. In the distance below, a low long high pitched moan arose from below. The cave healer paused frightened for a moment.
"We are going have to find someplace with water before Ivan the Sharptooth slaver's howlers find us."
" Oh great!" Tiara exclaimed struggling to walk with her injury foot.
" Get on my back!" Little foot lifted Cave healer onto his neck. " This will be faster for us." As Little foot lifted Cave Healer, the sounds of barking and howling furries could heard from below them. They had caught their prisoners' scent . While Little foot and his new friends were trying to escape, the howling furries were trailed close behind by some hairless furries . There leading from the back of them was Ivan the Sharp tooth slaver.
