The vultures stare us down, and Sid gets what he's been looking for. His answer. But we wish he hadn't had asked that. Because they were gonna tell us. And tells us they did. And in song too!
Well gee thanks Sid now you know what they were thinking. Now that we were almost food, thanks to Sid's big mouth, and a catchy tune we were in an even bigger hurry to get to the boat. But because the song was catchy Sid kept singing it. And he got it stuck in my head.
I started humming it.... Then I stopped myself and turned and growled at him. Damn it Sid you got that song stuck in my head. I should turn you into food save the vultures work. I went into leap and pounce form and would've clobbered him if Diego hadn't held me back.
Now, now, let's not lose our heads. But that song is catchy and it made me hungry! We're all hungry he says rolling his eyes.... However if we don't keep moving we're gonna turn into food. So, keep going. He said nudging me forward. I would do my best not to annoy her. I can only keep her in control for so long, but it is in our blood in our nature, and we do eat well everything.
So why do you get to annoy her? He doesn't, but I'd fail at killing him, he'd kill me before I could kill him, and usually pack mates don't turn on each other, but you see how that turned out. They turn on their master not each other. The others turned on us, and we turned on Soto but Soto was the main boss, and you were second in command, the pack brothers didn't turn on Soto they turned on you, but we never turned on each other we stick together.
But I'll fine a way to get you back if you annoy me. Oh and how do you plan on doing that? I turn and smirk at him.... He steps back suddenly jumpy..... Oh you'll find out if you do, so just don't, you don't want to know. Let's leave it at that. I remember more than you think when we were cubs. Just because you usually have the upper hand doesn't mean I can't gain it. I'm not afraid of you. He rolls his eyes. You don't need to be, just be warned, here is your warning. I'd take it!
What do you think you could possibly do to me? He questions. Just think back to being a cub, I shouldn't have to remind you. You know that saying..... He's got to have a weakness, everyone's got a weakness..... Where did you hear that? My world. And I know your alternate universe version my version has heard that saying. Then how do I know it? You all share the same memories, the same weaknesses the same everything. Like I mentioned at the beginning before I transformed I created my own friends my own creations those creations consist of movie and T.V. show characters with berried deep inside memories of everything we've all done together as my human self.
For a split sec the version of between my world and this world version is the one taking over him. When you say everything? I mean everything! But those memories are supposed to be replaced..... Wait how do I know that? Suddenly as if by magic everything is back to normal and its like that never even happened. Oh Diego I think we both know the real answer to that question. I continue as if that whole thing had never even happened as if that "4th wall" break never happened. But he still partially has some idea what I'm referring to he just doesn't want to remember doesn't want to think about it.
Gee I've been trying to get you to act this way for years. How come now in these conditions, you're suddenly the ruthless little sister you were always supposed to be? To be just like a killer. It's in my blood in my biology and its in yours too. It's not fair that you get to act that way to me, and occasionally playfully tease me but when I do its suddenly.... Wow when did you turn so ruthless and start acting like a killer? You know that's not what I mean. He says rolling his eyes.
Then maybe I should act my playful. You can't be anymore playful than you are already. He scuffs. Wanna bet? I tease going into pounce mode. He jumps back. Alright enough, let's get a move on the two of you are starting to creep me out. You're acting deranged. We're all one big happy family now put the claws away playful or non. Keep moving. Manny warns us. I smirk and walk ahead. Diego shakes his head.... What in the world just happened? He thinks to himself. We move ahead.
However a little while later we get to mine field of hot steam springs. We stop Manny from going forward. But then he and Ellie argue again, this time weather to go forward or back. That we have no time to go around but she thinks going forward will get us killed. After Manny comments that she's so stubborn and hot headed she decides that maybe after all that this proves that she is a mammoth after all and our gang keep going while Ellie and her brothers look for another way around. Keep up your pace don't slow down whatever you do. Diego tells me.
We keep going. My mind drifts off. Every little memory going through my mind. Manny is apparently doing the same he gets lost in thought and almost gets blown up. The steam is too hot for me, makes me feel lightheaded and too many thoughts go through my head at once. They snap Manny out first. Then Diego looks for me, and he can't see too clearly through the fog of steam. Farrah? Farrah! Farrah?! Farrah where are you?! He calls for me.
*flashback* Farrah, Farrah where are you?! I knew he called for me, but his full voice hadn't reached my ears. He'd found me and sniffed me around, to make sure I wasn't hurt. I'd felt someone or something pick me up and carry me on its back, I knew the shape and the scent.
Ug! I don't have time to think about flashbacks. Where is my sister?! He thinks to himself. When he finds me he's worried. Farrah! He comes closer to me avoiding geysers. Come on Farrah don't play dead, you're not Ellie he teases. Come on he tries to nudge my head up. I'm too weak to get up. Ug! This is just like the time she clasped from exhaustion after not sleeping when I joined the pack! Except there's nothing for me to creatively try to make a wooden bowl out of here with fresh water. And a good thing too or we'd be too late.
Come on kid wake up, don't die on me now not now! He begs. You can't be clasped right now, be full of energy again. Act like the little cub that you're personality is. Please?! Come on Farrah come on. He'd laid down next to me to be able to caress at me. Come on kid wake up. He licked the top of my head, nudging his nose up against me, trying to get my body to at least go back in an upright position. Farrah come on. Come on he growled the 3rd time. My body trembled from lack of sleep, but I slowly got back into that up right position. Come on that's it, kid that's it.
He found himself doing the same thing again and again. This is just like last time, I'm doing the same thing I was last time now. Including the fact that her body's trembling as she tries to get up. He thinks to himself. We gotta get to the boat kid once we're on that boat then you rest, you can do whatever just no out here. I should've never had left I mumbled. What? He questioned. I was wrong I smiled lightly, you are always there to take care of me. I mumbled again. He *sighed* as he nudged me up again. Carrying me on his back again, as we rushed to catch up Manny and Sid.
Like I told you our guys are as strong as 10 men, or 6 - 8 but still we're pretty strong. And I'm very light. You're very light. How is that possible? In great shape. I mumbled with a tease in my voice. I knew he'd probably be rolling his eyes. Are you up now? Can you move on your own? Yeah, I think, I'm.... I think, I think.... Don't push yourself. I've got you. No it's ok.... I.... I don't want to.... Want to, want to s-slow you down.... Just like we were younger before I left. No, you don't slow me down. I'm glad to be able to take care of you, you give me something in my life to be proud of something that gives me pride. And typically you're faster than me.
Diego look at me look at the facts, I pass out constantly, and easily apparently, I get myself hurt, if I wasn't a perfect killer I'd get myself killed. You work to hard, you train yourself too hard you tell yourself you want to be more like me, but sometimes I wanna be more like you. You've done things I'd never be able to do. Leave the pack the first chance I had run into open flame, stay awake all month long hunting, and fighting. Killing a jackalope on my first hunt ever. I would've never been able to do those things, I didn't I haven't. I only wish you wouldn't put yourself in so much danger and let me help you. You're not alone we're together. we're a team.
I think I'm ok now. You don't have to pull me along or carry me anymore. If you're sure. I'm sure. We get to where all the other animals are but Ellie and her brothers are nowhere to be found yet. We ask around but no ones seen them. Maybe they're already on board. No they're not here I can sense it. I start to run off. Farrah wait come back. I ran off again. Farrah?! He called after me. He sniffed around. Farrah! He called after me. But I ignored him. Farrah come back! He smelled the fire. There was a fire coming. Farrah?! Where are you?! I had ran into the direction it was coming from. But this time it was towards the flood. And I was right too. Crash and Eddie came to find us told us Ellie was stuck in a cave. We followed them. Somehow I was able to lead the way, somehow I knew where I was going.
But what I didn't know, but could've guessed was that I was gonna sacrifice myself. Sid tried to go help Crash and Eddie. I was swallowed up by the water trying to go after Manny to save Ellie. I should've stayed with Diego. I knew I couldn't swim I knew that I would drown. Diego was trying to convince himself to jump into the water. Diego?! Help! I cried out. I knew that I should've listened to Sid when he was giving his swimming lesson but just like the fire, I thought for sure I knew better for me. FlashbackImagine the scene of me drowning as if its the bit from Brother Bear two when Nina was drowning in the water.
That's how I imagine it when I think about this. The memory flashes through his mind. Sid is closer, he grabs Sid and pushes him onto the dry land, and goes back for me. He's not afraid anymore. I will always be. Now all that's left is to make sure Manny and Ellie get out alive.
