*Your P.O.V*
"Grug?" Ugga asks in fear.
"Just go! Go! Go!" Grug yells.
The Croods and I run towards the precipice with the Bear Owl closing in. We reach the edge. The Bear Owl dives. We leap. We hang for a moment and begin tumbling down a steep jungle hill. We tumble through a twisty mess of giant roots and strange plants and land in a heap. We all lie on their backs, disoriented, but momentarily calm. Grug sits up first. He turns to the high, high, cliff above them -- to the top, where we have lived all their lives up to this moment. A few loose pebbles continue to tumble down. There is no sign of the BEAR OWL. The others stand up, and they take in this new place. Grug takes a deep breath and then quickly counts:
"One, two, three, four, five, six --" Grug begins to smile.
Gran lands in a heap behind him.
"Seven." Grug huffs in annoyance
"Oh... Where are we?" The old woman asks none of us in particular.
"I don't know, I'm not sure. Down. In a lower place. One thing's for sure, we can't go back the way we came." Grug tries to think.
We sit up, disoriented.
I turn to Sandy to see her sniffing the ground.
"Grrrrrrrrrrr....."
"Sandy? What is it?" Ugga asks looking nervous.
Sandy lunges at something almost disappearing into a bush. Grug barley catches Sandy by her leg. Grug pulls her back like a dog on a leash.
"No, no! Come back, Sandy!" Grug yells out at her.
Sandy has a mousephant in her mouth. Grug knocks it from Sandy's mouth. A gaggle of mousephants run out from the bush and scurry away.
"We can't be out in the open like this. We need a cave. Now step where I step." Grug says in fear.
So, we start moving.
"Okay. Stay quiet. Hopefully nothing big knows we're here yet." Grug cautions.
"Wait. Okay. Wait. Okay. Wait. Okay." Grug cautions again making me and Eep look at each other, clearly annoyed.
We cautiously move in fits and stops through the middle of this thick, pre-historic rainforest.
"So Dad, just to be clear, are we looking for the exact same cave?" Thunk stammers.
"If it was me, I'm just throwing this out there, if it was me choosing the cave, I would go with a smaller cave." Thunk starts to mumble inaudibly.
As we trek, strange creatures watch us. In the front of the line, Grug is freaked out. But in the back Eep and I are taking in the wonders. We pass through a curtain of hefty hanging pears. After we pass the "pears" all turn to watch us. A leaf flutters down.
"Wait." He cautions once again.
Eep and Grug look up, Eep then shakes my arm and motions for me to look up where I find we are surrounded by monkeys.
"Dad?" Thunk question.
"I'll take care of this." Grug growls.
Grug launches into his Threat Display -
"WWAAAAaaarrgghhaarrraaaarrgghhh!!"
He flails his arms around and jumps about in front of the nearest Punch Monkey. No reaction from the Punch Monkey. Grug stops, confused... The Punch Monkey now breaks into a broad grin... Then hauls off and - thud - Punches Grug in the face! Grug reels back, surprised - turns... Right into another Punch Monkey. It winds up and - thud! - it hits Grug - Grug reels back - into another Monkey - thud! -
"Alright dad, go get 'em! Oh, oh, now you got em-- Now they're really hitting you. Dad I got it, just stop running into their fists." Thunk says starting to lose hope in Grug winning.
"Hah, I'm loving this." Gran laughs as i choke back a laugh myself.
"Grug, when you're done, we should get going." Ugga says bored.
Grug is being bounced back and forth like a pinball from one punch Monkey to the next. The Punch Monkeys are whooping and hollering - this is great fun! The Punch Monkeys let go of Grug and begin running away for no apparent reason. Grug staggers backwardsus.
"That's right! You can't get past this!" Grug laughs.
"ROOOAR!" A giant cat roars from behind us.
A colorful 'bush' rears up - it's not a bush, it's a MACAWNIVORE! We react, terrified Grug throws a rock at it. The Macawnivore catches the rock and SPRINGS! -
We all gasp in utter fear.
"Climb! Climb! Climb!" Grug yells.
Grug pushes and forces the Croods up a huge tree then as it steps away-- it is actually a giant animal.
"CAVE! GO! GO!" Grug yells once more about a stupid cave.
The Croods jump off the bird leg in hopes of getting to the cave.
"Come on! Hurry up, let's go! Come on!" He once again motions for us.
We all run like crazy in the direction Grug pointed. Westep inside the "cave." SLAM! The front of the cave comes down. We have jumped inside the mouth of a land whale!
"Hey look! This cave has a tongue. Awesome!" Thunk says stupidly. (no hate, Thunk was a good character)
The Land Whale stands up and then spits us out through its blow hole. We land in a heap.
"Okay, that's one, two, three, four, five, six ... seven..." Grug says annoyed.
"And eight... if we're counting Chunky the Death Cat." Gran says monotoned.
The Macawnivore appears from behind some nearby grass. It looks at us with delight. Suddenly, the shadow of the setting sky passes over the Macawnivore. It freaks out and retreats into the forest.
"Hah! It's scared of the dark... wait... we're scared of the dark." Thunk starts to get even more scared.
And for good reason, because as the shadow from the setting sun falls across us. Suddenly, thousands of piranha owls burst from the grasses around we and form a huge undulating cloud above them. It's a beautiful sight. The cloud of Piranha Owls then settle on a massive land whale. Moments later, they fly back into the air - the whale is dead as a door nail, whatever that is. It crumples to the ground.
"Kill circle!" Grug orders us.
We form our defensive circle, brandishing rocks. I see a skull lying in the sand. I sprint for it.
"Y/n! Y/nnn!" Grug yells at me sared as I run.
I breaks a horn from the skull and blow on it loud and long hoping guy will hear it.
*Guy's P.O.V*
I was walking through the jungle when I hear the horn. As soon as I hear it I know that it's
Y/n calling me. Then as I begin walking to-wards the sound, I notice the circling birds in the sky. Alarmed, I dash off.
*Your P.O.V*
Guy appears at the treeline. He spots ME standing alone in the clearing. He sees the birds heading towards me. He runs and leaps off a rock outcropping jumping right over my family who are huddled near the rock. Guy lands and in one fluid motion knocking the horn out of my hand to stop the noise then strikes a spark with two stones. The birds close in, blotting out the remaining light. All goes black. Then, a tiny leaf of flame flutters to life before Guy. He throws two more handfuls of grass on it, and it flares up! The light splits the onrushing red tide of birds like a knife. For a few moments my family are inside a tornado of the tiny monsters. The mass passes. Grug slaps at one last smoldering bird fluttering past. Grug turns to see Guy, holding me protectively . Grug's expression darkens. He snarls.
