The mess with time travel: The meltdown

Sid lord of the flame, Diego let me help you

Well, we should get some sleep, after all tomorrow's the day that vulture guy said we were all gonna die. Goodnight Sid called to us. We rolled our eyes. I laid down next to my brother, and cuddled up next to him. But I couldn't sleep, and when I got up Sid was gone, but I wasn't worried I'm sure he was just off sleepwalking or something, maybe something abducted him, but again I wasn't worried.

I got up to go walk around, and found some plants, some plants that were supposed to have great healing powers. I grabbed some of the leaves, and came back. Diego was sound a sleep and if he wasn't then he was pretending. I gently as possible placed the leaves on the parts of him that were wounded, but when he flinched I stopped and jumped back. My intention was to help him not hurt him. Which I figured I'd done, however when I watched a small smile cross his face I wasn't sure.

I didn't like seeing him flinch, that scared me, because I didn't like seeing him hurt. And this time he was hurt at my own hand, even if it was an accident. Then he opened his eyes. Whatcha doin' kid? I'm sorry I was only trying to help. I found some healing plants and brought them to you, but I didn't mean to hurt you more. You didn't hurt me kiddo, I just wasn't expecting something to touch me.

Come lay back down. I did, and I turned to him.... Diego? Yes? Why did you smile after you flinched? B-because I knew it was you and I knew you were just trying to help. Why did you stutter? You're hearing things go to sleep. Oh, ok goodnight then. Sweet dreams kid. He closed his eyes again, but the moment he did I was curious. I looked down where the leaves were and noticed that a part of the leaf slipped onto his paw, that's when he flinched.

I didn't think anything of it, cause maybe it was just my imagination, however the remotely evil little sister part of me which there should be more of considering I'm a killer, decided that she was gonna find out some way or another a way to test whatever it was she was thinking. Killer or not, we're were still siblings, and full grown or just a cub, I'd always have the heart and energy like one.

Meanwhile.... Right before I got up....

Sid was being lifted up on a piece of wood, and startled awake after hitting his head on a tree branch, as he looked down underneath him to find mini sloths carrying him who knows where. When they arrived they set him down in front of the rest of the tribe of mini sloths. They presented him with a flower crown and stones, he loved that he was finally getting some respect. Somehow they'd found out he was "the fire king." And made him make fire, and then they danced about it, until they tossed ropes on him.

This is either really good or really bad. The plan was to sacrifice the fire king into the volcano, but Sid didn't want to die, and when he flew back from the ropes, he fell into the sloth head, and it came tumbling down, and he rolled away safe and sound from the tribe, and soon it was morning. There was water in reach of us. When we got up, not only was Diego fully healed, but we stretched out and felt the water, and got scared.

Everyone else was awake now too, we had overslept and had to get moving, when Sid came back he tried to tell us that he had been kidnapped during the night. I said I probably figured as much, if you couldn't had also been sleepwalking, but he wasn't there when I got up. When did you get up? When I couldn't sleep knowing my brother was hurt, and went to go find healing leaves. They look like they helped. Try to stand up.

I'd have to get up even if I was still hurt, we have to get going. I went over and nudged him up. What are you doing? Helping you up. During the times you did take care of me, you did take care of me, now its my turn. I'm fine Farrah, don't worry about me. Funny that's what I told you when you found me passed out of exhaustion when we were younger. Well I'm fine now, thanks to you. Now like Manny said let's get moving.

He nudged me forward. We don't want to still be here when the water starts coming faster and stronger, and wipes us all out. Yeah, yeah. Soon we were away from the water, but we came into an area we REALLY didn't want to be in. Vulture land. Can we slow down for a sec? I'm dying here. Sid complained. Then we saw the vultures, and he said it was just figure of speech.

Then we all huddled together. They just sit there watching us. I wish I knew what they were thinking. Sid complained. T: No Sid now you've done it. I groaned softly after he said that, because I knew they were probably going to tell us. I hate when I'm right.
