I Don't Own Ice Age
A New Way of Life
Chapter one: A New Home
Shira's POV
I looked around to see if there was any sign of a good cave around. The ship like ice berg had just landed on the island where Manny, Diego and Sid had taken the pirate ship from Captain Gutt.
I hopped off the ship onto the soft sand, followed by the rest of the animals. Everyone automatically dispersed to find a place to live, because it was obvious that this was where we all were going to live. Peaches and Louis wandered off with the other teens to explore and find a new hang out spot. Leaving the rest of the heard to find a spot where we would live. We all wondered off, going in the general direction of a clearing we could see from the Cove.
Ellie – "I think we should split up and see if we can find a cave big enough for all of us, or a few caves in the same area that we can all live in."
Manny – "Good idea Ellie. You'll go with me. Sid, go with Granny, Eddie and Crash, you'll go together, and try NOT to get in trouble. Umm. That just leaves Diego and Shira."
I exchange glances with Diego and give him a I-swear-he-did-that-on-purpose look. He shrugs and starts heading towards a path that looks slightly familiar. I look around. Manny and Ellie are looking around a large cave in a cliff at the edge of the clearing. Sid and Granny are checking out 2 smaller caves, and Crash and Eddie are no where in sight.
Diego – "You coming Kitty."
Ugh, why does he have to call me that?
"Coming…" I pause, "softie", I reply with a satisfied smirk.
He growls softly at me, but tries to ignore me. We walk up the path in silence. When we come out of the forest, we find a small clearing bordered with more forest, and one half hollow tree with a hole in it, like a tree cave. The roots by what looked like the entrance were torn up. I instantly recognized it.
"Hey, isn't that the tree you locked me up in like 2 days ago" I say to Diego.
Diego – "Hey, yeah, it is"
I smile, glad he still remembers. I wonder if he remembers our talk.
Diego – "I also remember it's where you called me a softie."
"Well you are" I reply.
He tackles, but I pin him down.
" Your such a softie!" I tell him, making sure to put an especially annoying smirk on.
Sid walks up the trail.
Sid – "Hey, Manny and Ellie, have found a cave for them and Peaches, Granny found a cave, and I found a rock to sleep on, have you guys found any place your going to…"
We stop and stare at him as we realize he's talking to us. Diego has me pinned to the ground. Sid Stares at us, then smiles widely.
Sid – "Ohh, I see what's going on hear, I leave you too love birds alone too…"
Diego leaps toward Sid and chases him, snarling and making threats. I sit up, but then fall back on the ground, laughing.
Then I get an idea. I go to the forest and grab a bunch of vines and leaves, weaving them in the spaces between the tree roots, making it more like a cave. Then I clear the open space and tar away the roots that held me captive in the tree not so long ago. There, that looks more like a cave, I think to my self. I am just finishing the inside, clearing away the fallen roots, when Diego comes back with a deer. That's when I realize how hungry I am.
Diego - "You want some?"
"Yes!" I say and run up to him. We eat the deer in silence. By that time, It's getting dark out.
I walk into the tree cave.
"I don't know where your sleeping, but this is my cave." I tell him."
Diego- "It's a tree"
"It's a tree cave"
"Whatever"
I am so tired now. I give him a questioning look, but he just stands in the entry way.
Diego – "Um, c-can I, um I sleep hear t-tonight?"
He finally asks. I can see him blush. I decide to wait a minute, just to bug him.
"Well, I guess"
He smiles, and lies down insode. I curl up opposite of him and smile. I close my eyes.
"Night softie" I say.
"Night Kitty"
I know he's smirking, even though my eyes are closed and I can't see it.
I glance out the entrance at the stars, and the drift off to sleep.
