Chapter 10, Not your fault
Rex couldn't believe it. His father, his friend, his teacher, was dead. As he ran into the gorge as the last herd members dissapeared, he saw it, his father's body, lying in a crumpled heap, a pained expression on his face. "Dad?" Rex asked as he approached, though his brain told him it was hopeless, 'no!' his heart was crying, and the salty tears dripped down his face.
"Come on Dad, you gotta get up!" He begged as he tried to wake his father. "Dad! We gotta go home!" He sobbed. There was no sound, no animals, no flyers in the air, no crawlers in the ground, it was just him. Alone.
"HELP!" He yelled out, hoping some one was there. "Somebody, anybody! Help!" He walked back to his father, and lay there, depressed, a shadow came up. "No..." Was all Tyranna could say.
"Mom." Rex said as he ran to his only remaining parent. "Rex, your alive, I thought you were dead!" She said. "Its all my faultl, daddy's gone, because of me!" Rex cried. "No, its not honey! You didn't know what would happen, and no one knew about the stampede." She comforted her son.
"It's still my fault." Rex cried. Tyranna nuzzled him to give some comfort, although she was struggling to maintain her own composure, on the inside, she was just as sad as Rex, but she had to be strong for his sake.
She knew Chomper had friends in the Great Valley, and that they were resisting the assault, hopefully one of Chomper's friends was still alive, and she could find them, she needed a safe home for Rex, although she doubted, because of what had happened, she hoped it would all be alright.
"Well isn't this lovely." That voice said. Tyranna snapped her head to see Darkclaw standing just a few meters away. "I kill the only remaining threat, and his pathetic family is here, perfect for tying up loose ends." Darkclaw sneered, and he showed his razor sharp, bone crushing white teeth.
"Don't you touch my son!" Tyranna snarled as she got into a defensive position. "Nothing will stand in my way, as far as I'm concerned, a traitor's mate ranks next to Traitor to me, and I don't accept that." Darkclaw said as got into hunting mode, his red eyes filled with blood lust.
Tyranna thought that was it. Her life flashed before her eyes, her birth, her playing with her twin brother, her parents' and brother's death at the hands of Redclaw, her escape, and Chomper finding her. It was over, was all she could think.
A/N: Yes, this scene is based on a certain Lion King scene, I won't tell what happened if anyone here is reading it, but I really tried to make this scene sad, and I think I succeeded, so tell me what you guys think.
"Its a shame really, I could use your son and you for increasing my army." He smirked. "Over...my...dead...body!" Someone snarled at Darkclaw. All three turned their heads to see...Chomper getting up, battered and bruised, but very much alive!
"I don't care if it kills me! I'm going to protect them from you!" Chomper growled as he prepared for the fight of his life. "Surrender or die Chomper!" Darkclaw roared as he charged forward to tear Chomper apart. Chomper charged, and the two slammed into eachother like freight trains!
Immediatley after recovering, Darkclaw slammed his tail into Chomper's face and tried to bite him. Chomper got hit by the tail but dodged the bite, and countered with his own attack.
He managed to grab Darkclaw's forward snout and began to try and crush it, but Darkclaw refused, and drove his claws into Chomper's snout, and began cutting. The pain was to much, and Chomper was forced to let go, and Darkclaw used this to grab Chomper by the neck, and he began twirling the younger sharptooth until he threw him to the ground.
"Run!" Chomper cried to his mate. She didn't want to, but she did. Darkclaw tried to follow but Chomper bit him on the leg. This only angered the older sharptooth even more, and he bit Chomper on the side, and used his claws to slash at him. Chomper cried out in pain, and Darkclaw closed in for the final blow.
"I'm your master now!" Darkclaw sneered as he prepared to crush Chomper's neck, but suddenly, Tyranna slammed into Darkclaw, and used her tail to knock him to the ground, "come on!" She cried as she helped Chomper to his feet and they both ran, while Darkclaw got up.
His red eyes probed the surrounding canyon for them, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw them leave. He prepared to pursue, when a large rock that was dislodged when he hit it, hit him on the head, knocking him out cold, but not killing him, he would be back up in atleast ten minutes.
