"Well let's go," Veli smiled, licking his beak and following the scent of threehorn

""Im in for longneck," Chomper replied. "Even though I was hoping for threehorn soup," he added with a laugh. He waited for all his other friends. "Ready when you are, Chomper's parents said

Redclaw, Chomper, Veli, and Chomper's parents joined him. "Nothing like a hunt to get the circulation going," Papa Sharptooth chuckled. "So what are we getting?" Veli asked, wondering when his friends would join up

(Here comes the resolution, hope you like it.)

Chapter 8: Hook, Line, and Screamer Part 2

As the group was thinking about what to do, Petrie suddenly commented. "You know guys, I've been thinking.." "What is it Petrie?" Littelfoot asked. "In the Sharptooth Slasher story, we find out at the end that it was the fast biter's mate, not just some random psycho right?" the sharptooth flyer began. "How do we know the psycho isn';t someone we know?" "During one of your stunts, you must've bumped your head PEtrie," Littlefoot said. "That's crazy, we don't even know if there's any slasher on the loose, let alone someone we know." "You never know..." Petrie said. Spike looked scared.

Just then, Cira (Tria), Grandpa Sharptooth, and Hyp came by.  Petrie decided this was his chance. "How you seen Cera anywhere?" Cira asked. "Me and Veli haven't since she left to go play with you guys." "The little biter probably got lost," Hyp taunted. Littefoot and Spike grunted. "Hey, where have all of you been?" Petrie questioned, not trying to sound suspicious. "I've been with Veli all night," Cira responed. "Why?" "No reason," Petrie replied. "Ive been with Nod and Mutt," Hyp replied. "And I've been hunting with the other grownups," Grandpa Sharptooth replied. "Littlefoot, you and your friends should head home soon," "OK Grandpa," Littlefoot replied. "Just a little while longer."

"I don't trust them," Petrie said as they walked off. "Are your crazy Petrie?" Littlefoot asked. "Look, me and Spike will go find everyone and we'll never split up like your rules." The belly dragger looked nervous but decided to follow Littlefoot anyway. "Isn't it weird Ducky?" Petrie asked "What Petrie?" she asked. "Ever since today, some of the the branches of the fruit trees have been torn down, wonder if that has anything to do with the slasher." "You're smart Petrie, you are you are," Ducky commented. Petrie blushed at this comment.

Littlefoot and Spike had sniffed Chomper and Ruby's scents to the entrance of the Secret Caverns. "Chomper! Ruby! You guys here?" Littlefoot called. No reply. "But it's weird, the trail keeps going into the caverns. Spike looked more scared than ever. "Ok Spike, we can leave if you want to," he said. He sniffed "Wait a minute isn't that.." All of a sudden..a figure from the shadows grabbed Spike's tail! "Spike!" Littlefoot yelled, and raced to help his friend. He tried to hold onto Spike's claws, but whoever was pulling was too strong for them. "I won't give up Spike!" Littlefoot yelled, but the figure got a burst of stregnth and pulkled the rex and belly dragger down into the caverns.

Ducky and Petrie didn't know what to do. "This is getting bad Ducky," Petrie said. "I think the Sharptooth Slasher really IS on the loose." "I'm scared Petrie," Ducky commented. "I am, I am." "Don't worry Ducky," Petrie said, trying to comfort her. But he was very worried. He was the only member of the gang who could look for the others now. Luckily, he was braver than most of his friends.  "I gotta go find everybody," Petrie explained. "If I'm not back in 20 minutes, go to the deepest end of the water and don't come back out until morning." "Ok Petrie,"replied Ducky, and the flyer flew off. As he left, Ducky could hear someone approaching behind her. She turned around, and...

Petrie arrived at the Secret Caverns. "Here goes nothing," he sighed, and flew inside quietly. "No psycho is going to get me," he whispered. He flew swiftly thre the tunnels so no one would be able to hear or see him. He soon noticed a weird smell. "Phew, it smells like dead leaf eater," he said.  He kept flying. "I'm getting near the Cave of Many Voices," he thought. Then he heard a weird noise. It was a deep rumble, but it didn't sound like a roar. PEtrie was getting seriously freaked out. "I have to keep going, for my friends' sakes." He kept going till he reached the Cave of Many Voices, looked inside, and saw something shocking..

Littlefoot, Chomper, Ruby, Spike, and Cera were all lying on the ground not moving! Worst still, they were covered in blood! "Oh no!" Petrie yelled, and rushed to his friends' sides. Cera, Chomper, Spike, and Littefoot's bodies had blood all over, but Petrie didn't want to touch them. Ruby's body only had blood  on her stomach. "This is VERY VERY VERY bad," Petrie thought. He looked at Ruby's body, when a thought started entering hhis head. All of a sudden, he heard a MASSIVE roar! Petrie screamed "Yah!" and flew out of the Cave as fast as he could. He had to find Ducky before it was too late.

After what seemed like forever, Petrie managed to get out of the Secret Caverns. "Dubky! Ducky!" he roared at the top of his breath, racing towards the waterhole. "What is it?" Ducky asked panicked.  "Everyone's dead!" Petrie yelled. Ducky gasped. But then her eyes widened. "Petrie..behind you," she said, barely able to speak. Petrie turned around, aand noticed a mysterious big dinosaur in the shadows! He shut his eyes, as he heard the Sharptooth Slasher's laugh. It was menacing, but he also heard..someone else's laugh? His eyes opened happily. He looked at the shadows with a victorious smile. "You can come out guys," he laughed.

Chomper, Ruby, Spike, Cera, and Littlefoot all came out. "Good job Petrie," Littlefoot asked. "How did you know it was us?" Petrie laughed. "The blood, or should I say tree sweet sap," Petrie laughed. "That's why all the branches were down. But I knew it wasn't all of you together at first, it was just you...RUBY!!" Ruby laughed. "Nice work Petrie," she said. "But how could I have done this by myself? I was with you when cera "disappeared." "I knew you couldn't have been by yourslef from the start, so you had someone help you that we didn't know about." The flyer looked at the shadows. "Littlefoot's grandpa, you can come out of there.

Grandpa Sharptooth chuckled, and came out. "Why'd you suspect me?" he asked happily. "You said you went hunting." Petrie replied. "In the Cave of Many Voices, you hid dead and slightly eaten leafeaters to make the fake smell of blood and trick me, because you knew the tree sweet sap wouldn't be enough to fool me. Plus, Ruby arrived being escorted by you, that's when she gave you the idea, right?" Grandpa Sharptooth nodded. "Plus, Ruby put the sap on everyone in the Cave of Many Voices. The sap was only on one side of her, because she couldn't reach her back by herself. Oh by the way, that rumble in the caverns, that was you burping right? From when you took a bite?" Grandpa nodded again.

"But why did you o it Ruby?" he asked. "Well, I had this planned for a while," Ruby laughed. "At first, I wanted to scare Cera for being bossy sometimes, but the Hidden Runner thing did that for me." Cera grunted angrily. "So I thought you Petrie, since you like scary stories. Hope you're not mad." "Don't worry," replied Petrie. "But we should be going to bed. I want a good sleep story now."

"Goodnight!" everyone called to each other, and went back to their parents. Chomper smiled, in the previous reality, he remembered Ruby mentioning something like this once. Back at his family's cave, he saw his parents sleeping calmly, they probably had a peace ful night. "Goodnight mom and dad," Chomper said, nuzzling their faces, then went to sleep.

(So, what did you think? Review/Suggestions are open now!)

"Yeah, Kai managed to save her. The herd's about to go hunting soon, wanna join them?" Chomper asked

(Here, it comes, the horror-movie chapter.)

Chapter 7: Hook, Line, and Screamer Part 1

It had been a week since Chomper made his wish, and things in the new sharptooth Great Valley were going pretty good. Pretty soon Chomper would go on his first hunt with his parents, so he was anticipating that.  But tonight was scary-story telling night, and all the gang was looking forward to it. The gang was going to gather near the waterhole so Ducky could join and tell scary stories for a while. But the one everyone couldn't wait to hear was Ruby's. She was a great storyteller. The gang gathered at the spot, Littefoot and Ruby getting a ride from Grandpa Sharptooth

"And then, the two fast biters who were kissing in the cave, were slowly being followed by The Sharptooth Slasher, and then.." Ruby said, her audience waiting for the conclusiocn, "HE GOT THEM!" the gang gasped and jumped back in shock, except for Petrie and Cera. "Big whoop, all these scary stories are the same dumb thing," she scoffed. "They're always about some dumb teenage sharpteeth getting hunted by some psycho leaf eater or canibal sharptooth, who never dies despite everything the good guys do."  "Oh come on, I remember the Hidden Runner incident," Ruby chuckled as a reply. (In this universe, that adventure did happen also.) "I know you can get scared, fraidy biter." "I am not a fraidy biter!" she replied "I'm going to bed, see you guys tomarrow."  "Wait Cera!" called Ruby.

"Don't go Cera," added Ducky. "You know how windy it is tonight," "It's just like in the story before the Sharptooth Slasher would get his victim," Ruby continued in a spooky voice. "Oh come on," Cera scoffed. "You actually think I'll fall for that?" she said, and walked off. "Ooh, and the loudmouth one seals her fate," chuckled Petrie. "Wjhat do you mean Petrie?" asked Littefoot and Chomper. "You mean you've never heard the rules of a scary story?" Petrie replied, he flew in front of the group to gather their attention. "There are certain rules you must listen to if you wanna survive a scary story." "Like what?" Chomper, Ducky, Ruby, Littlefoot, and Spike (Non-verbally of course) replied. "Rule number 1: Never go off on your own. Rule number 2: Never be mean. Rule number 3: Never kiss anyone, and Rule Number 4: Never assume the bad guy is dead."

Meanwhile, Cera was walking back to her parents place, still thinking about what just happened.  "Stupid them, thinking I'd get scared by a scary story...OOF!" she yelled when she suddenly fell down a hole. "Where'd this hole come from?" she said, she knew it wasn't there before. "Must've been a dumb joke by the guys." She also noticed several branches of trees in the hole with her. "What're these for?" she asked, noticing they were fruit trees. Suddenly, she heard a big dinosaur above her. "Hey, could you help me outta here.." she called. Suddenly, the dino roared loudly. "Who are you?!" Cera yelled.

Meanwhile at the group, they thought they heard a noise. "What was that?" Chomper asked. "Heh, maybe the Sharptooth Slasher got Cera," Ruby teased. "That's not funny Ruby," Littefoot replied. "Ok, I'll go look for her, how bout that?" Ruby responded. "Ill go with you," chomper added. "Guys wait!" Petrie yelled. "Don't you remember the rules?" "It's not a real-life scary story Petrie," Ruby said. "We have nothing to worry about, unless there was something to worry about." Chomper and Ruby smiled at each other, then walked off. "Didn't they say they accidently kissed when you played Hide and Go Prey? They did, they did," Ducky said. Petrie looked nervous.

"Cera? Cera?" Ruby and Chomper called. No reply. "She might already be asleep," Chomper suggested. "We won't give up just yet, you look over there by the Secret Caverns Chomper," Ruby pointed. "Sure Ruby," Chomper replied.  Chomper went up to the entrance. "Cera?" he called again, but of course the fast biter could'nt heard him. "I might as well go back," he began when suddenly a pair of claws grabbed him! "Ruby! HELP!" Chomper cried as he was pulled into the shadows. Ruby heard his voice and came up into the secret caverns. "Chomper? Where are you?" she asked. "Probably just playing a trick on me," she laughed when she heard a big footstep. She turned around, and...

Back at the waterhole, the gang was getting very concerned. "Ok this is weird: Chomper, Ruby and Cera have't come back for a while guys," Littlefoot said nervously. The wind kept getting worse and worse. "Maybe Ruby was right when she said the story of the Sharptooth Slasher was true..." Ducky and Spike were noticably shaking in fear. "You know what this means guys," Petrie said. "Someone's out there, and we have to stop this psycho before he kills them or us!" he said. "Agreed," the remaining members of the gang said, and put their claws together.

TO BE CONTINUED.....

(Ooh, a cliffhanger. Read and review/comment on.)

Chomper hid behind a rock, waiting for Longtail's coflict to be over.

Elsewhere, Redclaw, forgetting his insult battle with Kai, turned to Tyra and said. "You'll like it in our herds, you'll make plently of friends," he smiled as they approached the herds

"Sure, " replied Tyra, taking his hand. "Your herds sound neat. Redcalw then replied . "Really, since the last cold time you've been letting yourself go Kai," he said with a laugh. Chomper chuckled a bit

"Yeah, that sounds good," Tyra replied, blushing back.  I'm Chomper, that's Cayso, Racnar, and Kai," he said pointing to everyone. "And the big guy is Redclaw."  "So what are your herds like?" Tyra asked curious

"Physically, just a scratch," Tyra replied, but she started to frown. "Emotioally, in very bad shape: When that earth shake happened a few days ago, me and my parents were in the center of where the land split, and they were trying to save me, and..." she said turning to tears.

Chomper listened to this horrified. He knew how Littefoot had lost his mother a long time ago.
