Chapter 4: (Sorry bout forgetting to upload 3 before but is now)
The Fastbiters attacked,Nani screamed "Please don't my children need me!". Hades laughed "Oh your children are dying too ".
Renee ran forward to get the fast biters of her daughter "Get them off her!" she shouted to Hades. Hades smirked "Nope".
Nahla looked around terrified,a herd member picked her up and placed her with her shaking siblings. The rest of the herd jumped in to defend Nani.
The fast biters knew they were outnumbered and outsized and fled. Hades yelled after them "GET BACK HERE YOU WEAKLINGS!".
Nani quickly stood up and limped on three legs to her children. The hatchlings stumbled forward to greet their mother.
Hades got into her face "You have won today Nani but I high suggest you keep an eye on your little brats,for I give permission for the Fast biters to eat them if they find them alone" Hades chuckled and turned away.
Nahla stared after him tilting her head she didn't understand why the big male was everyone hated the big male.
But she would unfortunately find out soon.
It was only time.
A few years passed and life was still hard. Nahla had grown quite a bit as had her siblings.
"Mother?" Nahla asked softly laying next to Nani's head "Mother why is everything all dark here?". Nani blinked "Because...we have a very bad drought".
"Whats a drought?" Nahla's brother Ben,he was the oldest of the siblings,Nahla being the youngest. The middle child was Lily,she was often made fun of by the other children in the herd because of her colour scheme.
Lily who was laying on the other side on their mother rolled her eyes "Where we have no water DUH remember Grandma told us about it".
Ben poked his tongue at his sister,Nahla looked up she had another question "Mother...who is our father?".
The question shocked Nani,she raised her head to look at her youngest daughter in the face "Your...father...is...".
"Yes?" Ben urged her. Nani gulped "Your father is our leader Hades". The children gasped "If he is our father...how come he never comes and sees us or plays with us?" Nahla questioned.
Nani bit her lip "I can't tell you's,your too young for something like that".
"Aww" all three children complained in unison making Nani chuckle. Nani laid her head down again and sighed.
"Do you miss Grandma mother?" Ben asked. Renee had sadly passed away a few short days ago,she was always a fighter but illness took her in the end.
Nani nodded "Yes I do,but I know she will always be watching over us".
Lily lowered her head and commented "I hate Hades he wouldn't let Grandma have the cure".
"Yeah Hates is stupid!" Ben joined in. Nani was about to agree when the dinosaur in question stood over them.
"I otta teach you brats some respect" Hades said in his cold cruel voice loweing his massive feet upon of them,Ben and Lily screamed but it was far to late.
Nani jumped to her feet screaming as she stared down at her two motionless children,she turned to Hades her rage growing "YOU...YOU MONSTER".
Hades chuckled and attacked Nani,he shoved her against a rock "Say nighty night Nani" he gave a cruel laugh and bought his foot down on to her neck. A scream filled the air.
Hades just laughed as he pressed his foot down harder intending to snap her neck. Fastbiters gathered some were feeding on the bodies of Ben and Lily. Nahla was hiding behind a rock 'Mother!" she screamed running out hoping to save her.
Nani weakly turned to face her daughter one last night "Nahla...run escape'.
Nahla had tears pouring down her face "But mother.." she whispered.
Nani's eyes started to close "Nahla..I love you and I'll be with you always remember that-" she got cut off by a snap and she remained motionless.
Hades laughed and got off the dead female,he then turned to Nahla "My dear daughter..." he smiled stepping towards her "I'll give you a choice you can either Stay here and and I'll teach you everything I know or you can die".
Nahla shook "All you know is EVIL I never want to be like you NEVER!" with that she turned and bolted to the exit.
Three fastbiters came up to Hades side "Kill her" he said simply.
Nahla panted as she ran,aware of her chasers. She reached the valley wall and started the climb. A fastbiter snapped at her tail causing her to lose focus and slip. She kicked a fast biter and she continued her climb,when she reached the top she looked down,she had only one choice-jump.
She looked behind her,her chasers were closing in. She took a deep breath and jumped for her life.
The fastbiters glanced at each other,and figuring she would surely die from that fall left.
Nahla landed at the bottom with a thud,she stood out in pain,her sides were bleeding and her ankle was twisted. But she did it-escaped The Shadowlands. With a sigh she started limping away thoughts of her family on her mind
She glanced back at the Shadowlands and sang a soft song "And where my journey my lead me,let your prayers be my guide,I can not stay her my family,but I'll remember my herd" she gulped and looked forward she took the first step on her long journey. While she walked she glanced over her shoulder to her former home "Beso bo my people beso bo".
