Ice Age

Chapter 3

     We managed to get to the ledge that the people's camp was on. "What are you doing? Just drop it on the ledge." Manny asked as he took the kid and tossed him onto the ledge. "We should make sure they found him?"

"Good idea," Manny said before picking Sid up.

"No, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait." Sid yells as he is thrown onto the ledge. "Don't spear me...Ohh this is a problem."

Manny and I were now following Sid up the ledge "Now what?"

Once we got up there it seemed that none of the humans were anywhere in sight. "Aww, that's perfect." Manny then put me down and I began to follow the baby around.

"Awww that's cut there like little buddy's," Sid mentioned as he watched the sight. Manny just rolled his eyes before walking towards the campsite.

Sid was following me and the kid around when he stepped on a stick hitting him in the face. At one point we made it to a hay bundle with skin over it that the kid hugged it and smiled before falling back into a basket.

"I told you they were gone," Diego said as he stepped on the skin covered hay looking at Manny.

"Look who it is. Don't you have some poor defenseless animal to disembowel?" Manny said as Sid came walking towards them talking. "They couldn't be far. They went this way, or this way"

"You don't know much about tracking, do you?" Diego asked the sloth that just went by him.

"I'm a sloth. I see a tree, eat a leaf. That's my tracking."

"You didn't miss them by much. it's still green. They headed north two hours ago," Diego said, watching the kid stumble and fall as I went closer to Diego before a fish landed on Manny's face. "You don't need this aggravation. Give me the baby. I can track the humans down a lot faster than you."

"And your just a good citizen helpin' out?" Manny pulled the baby closer to him, not believing the tiger.

"I just know where the humans are going," Diego talked while pulling the baby closer to him and pushing me away from him as I was reaching for his face.

Manny simply nodded his head in a direction while pulling me and the baby closer to him. "Glacier Pass. Everybody knows they got a settlement on the other side."

Diego looked and not wanting to give up he said, "Unless you know how to track, you'll never reach them before snow closes the pass... Which should be, like, tomorrow. So, you can give that baby to me or go get lost in a blizzard. It's your choice."

Manny then picked up the kid giving it to Sid, then he put me on his back. "Here's your little bundle of joy. We're returning it to the humans."

Sid then wanted to rub it in the sabers face. "Aww, The big, bad tigey-wigey gets left behind. Poor tigey-wigey." "Sid, tigey-wigey is gonna lead the way." and with what Manny just said, all the confidence Sid had left. "Manny, can I talk to you for a second?"

"No. The sooner we find the humans, the sooner I get rid of Mr. Stinky Drool-Face, and the baby, too," with that said we started to walk. "Hey, Uber-tracker. Upfront where I can see you" and just like that, we all started to walk.

"Hey, If you don't mind me asking? Why do you have a saber cub? I mean wouldn't they be with their family," Diego finally asked after a minute as curiosity got a hold of him. "Oh yeah, I was wondering that too."

"Found them, now can we just focus on getting the baby to the humans." Manny said wishing for silence but Sid spoke up again, "But why did you take them, how do you know that they were left behind or forgotten."

Diego rolled his eyes. "It's obvious because she was the runt of the pack so that's probably why she was left."

"But why wouldn't they take her if she is their family."

"Probably because the mother didn't want her to be eaten," Diego finished as Sid gulped at the fact he just processed. "Now come on, your lagging behind,"
