Author's Note:
This story takes place after the ICE AGE 4 movie, so if you haven't watched it you might not want to read this as I might include some spoilers!But I strongly suggest you to watch it because it's amazing!
This is my first story so please do not be harsh on me, and if you could leave a review I would appreciate it very much!
Shira is standing on the edge of a cliff, looking at the never-ending ocean, a cold breeze brush through her fur making her feel a little drowsy and she can hear the sound of the waves crashing to the rocks at the bottom. Who would have thought that just a week ago, she was on a pirate ship, devoting her life to an ape? Now, she has this great family who welcomes and loves her as if she has been with them forever. She couldn't help but wonder why they trust her so much. Just as she is lost in her thought, she is brought back to reality when something hit her on her back almost making her lose her balance and fall off the cliff. She turns around with so much force it whisked the dust around her feet and growls aggressively showing her pointed canines and striking blue eyes, only to see a now-shaken Louis.
Shira- Oh sorry Louis! Old pirate habit!
Louis-*Giggle nervously*
Peaches-Sorry Aunt Shira! I was just playing with Louis and accidentally throw him out to the air! Good thing you are there! Otherwise he would have plunged to his death
Louis- Peaches! I could have died! Next time you throw somebody in the air, keep in mind that they don't
Weight half a ton like you!
Peaches- *Gasp* Are you calling me fat?
Louis- NO!Of course not!*laugh nervously*
Shira- Hahahaha! Now little ones! What are you guys still doing here?
Peaches- It's not my curfew yet! Beside I can tell Dad I was with you the whole time.
Shira-Hey! I might be a newbie here! But don't even think of using me like that! Come On Let's Go!
Shira motions the two to walk back to the herd and she walks behind them.
Peaches- *lower her head with disappointment* Ok! Whatever you say Aunt Shira. Oh, Aunt Shira! Can I ask you something?
Shira- Sure! What do you have in mind sweetie?
Peaches- What was it like living with the pirates?
Louis- Yeah!Were you scared?
Shira-Well! You know, I was one of them. I think of them as my family and with family you don't think who's good or who's bad! You just try your best to be there for them and accept them for who they are but I guess I was the only one who is stupid enough to think that they think of me as a family.
"Yeah! That was indeed stupid of you."- A voice interrupts them.
All of a sudden, Diego jumps out of a bush and crouches in front of them.
Shira-would you look at that? If it isn't the smarty pants!
Peaches & Louis- Uncle Diego!
Shira- What are you doing here?
Diego- Oh!*looking up and down*...Errrr….Ummm…Manny is worried! He asked me to look for you guys!
Shira- I met them at the cliff! We are making our way back.
Diego- Yeah! I know!
Shira- Huh?How could you know?You weren't following me, Are you?
Diego- No!Of course not! What I meant by "Yeah I know" is "Yeah Okay"!
Shira gives him a look of doubt but decided to drop the topic. After that, they continue their walk back to the herd. It's getting darker by the minute, Diego starts walking behind Shira, without ever taking his eyes off of her even for a second. Shira can sense Diego's prying eyes on her; normally she would jump on and beat the crap out of whoever's doing it but this time she couldn't help but smile.
Next Chapter will be Diego's POV so Please Review!
