A new world...Same old faces

Luna looked to Hunter and gave off a smile "I guess I'm okay...." she let off a sigh as she looked to Sweetie, yet, wasn't sure on what to say back about that as she soon stood up, looking to Sweetie, Zaine, Cera and Hunter "I....I think I need to go for a walk or something.....all this thinking is giving me a headache...." she spoke as she rubbed her head and begun to walk off.

If others wanted to walk with her, she wouldn't mind herself, she just wanted to walk for a bit to at least clear up her mind some more, expesically on what choice she had just made, giving off a bit of a sigh as well "I don't know if that was the best choice to make though..." she spoke to herself as she walked on some more.

Hunter turned back to Zaine, Sweetie, and Cera.
"I'll walk with her guys. You should all get some rest." she said as she caught up with Luna. at first she didn't say anything, and that was fine, she did enjoy these quiet moments. "Ya know, I respect you. You helped us, even when you didn't know any of us. For that I consider you a true friend."

Luna looked over to Hunter, not even expecting her to follow her, yet, she gave off a small smile to her "It was nothing really, I just couldn't really stand by while everyone argued about what to do, I just wanted to do something is all, but....it was really nothing in the end" she smiled some more to her as she walked some more before stopping and looking back to Hunter "Sorry I had put you though all this, I mean, the smoky mountain, the flowers and all, I didn't mean to or anything like that, but um, if you do consider me as a friend and all, that....that would be nice....I've actually never had any friends before...."

Zaine nodded as Hunter left to be with Luna. He turned back and headed to the group in the cave. He was glad to see Longtail still up. "How are you holding up Longtail?"

Littlefoot continued to observe his herd in the cave. The tension was still a little high between him and Drake, but he knew the stubborn Drake would not change his ways, so he gave up talking to him. He knelt down and rested his head on the ground to try and get some sleep.

Cera watched Hunter and Luna walk off before gazing back at the quickly darkening sky. thats strange, there aren't any clouds but there seems to be a lot fewer stars out she thought to herself, wondering if it had anything to do with the falling rocks. Cera didn't want to go back in the cave so she decided to lay down at a spot just out side of the cave entrance, telling herself that she would keep guard but in reality she wanted to cry herself to sleep without anyone noticing.

Ali walked up to Littlefoot and laid down next to the long neck, quickly dozing off.

Hunter at first tried not to laugh, and somewhat succeeded as she snickered aloud. She then looked at Luna. "So modest. Another good quality to have in this herd. And don't worry about finding those flowers...if you hadn't left when you did, I would've gone after them eventually anyway. Having you along just made it less of a lonely journey back." she said with sincerity in her voice.

Longtail looked up at Zaine with a tired smile.
"I'm doing fine...I guess. I'm not in pain anymore, but I haven't tried to stand up yet. I just don't think I'm ready."

Sweetie who was still riding on Zaines head spoke softly as she replied, "Well I say that resting for you is a good thing. We don't want you hurting yourself anymore."

"It had? How so?" Luna asked Hunter rather cuiously at that point, before she looked to her claws, tapping her two index fingers together a bit as well "I mean, making it less lonely? What do you actually mean by that? Tell me, cause I'm confused on that...."

Drake seemed to let off a sligh snarl as he watched everyone keeping themselves company as she walked futher into the back of the cave tunnels to another section completely, away from everyone else where he had other things of his all set up, most of them were various skulls of past, deceased dinosaurs, but nothing as big as a sharptooth's skull.

Hunter looked to the sky as she thought about her answer to Lunas' question.
"I suppose what I mean is, that having you there with me on that mountain helped me to keep me from thinking about someone I've lost. she said with a saddened tone as a tear fell down her face.

MrDrake · **Reply #748 on:** February 21, 2010, 06:16:25 AM

"Oh" Luna walked up to Hunter and looked at her, giving her a small nudge "Hey, don't be sad, I didn't mean to upset you, and I'm sorry about what happened, even if I don't know the whole story" she gave Hunter a bit of a smile as well "So...don't cry....it's sad to see someone else cry"

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #749 on:** February 23, 2010, 03:32:31 AM

Hunter gave a smile at Luna's sympathy. "Thanks. I just miss him so much....I'm not even sure if he's still alive out here. But I do keep up hope though." She paused for a moment and stopped walking as she began to speak again. "Luna....can I tell you a secret? It's not something I'm proud of...but I haven't told anybody about this...not even my mate."

MrDrake · **Reply #750 on:** February 23, 2010, 03:35:04 AM

Luna looked over to Hunter "A secret? Sure, you can tell me, I wont tell anyone else, I've never told secrets to anyone else"

She gave Hunter a bit of a smile again as she decided to sit down to wait to hear what Hunter's secret was.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #751 on:** February 23, 2010, 03:44:03 AM

Hunter sighed deeply and cleared her throat as she started to tell her secret.
"It was back when I was just a hatchling. My parents fought constantly, and on several occasions my father would drag me into the confrontation and on one particular day, gave me the X mark across my neck just to prove a point to my mother."

Hunter paused as she visibly shook upon reliving the memory of that day. "Then...two days later my father again tried to physically make an example of me, but my mother had been teaching me how to hunt and fight....and in a split second decision I lashed out killing both my father and mother. I didn't mean to....it...it was just....self defense....and even as she lay dying...m-my mother...told me, she...that she was proud of what i'd done." It was at this moment that Hunter broke down and cried letting her childhood emotions out for the first time since that day.

MrDrake · **Reply #752 on:** February 23, 2010, 03:49:26 AM

"You killed your parents?" Luna asked, in shock actually with what Hunter had said "I'm sure you had good reason too, but still" she then paused as she watched as Hunter burst into tears.

"No....don't....cry...." Luna told her, stand up and walking over to Hunter, wrapping her arms around her to give her a rather tight hug "No, it's okay, I'm sorry to hear that, I wish, I could do something to help you out....it's just rather sad to see you cry"

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #753 on:** February 23, 2010, 05:28:23 AM

Hunter felt Luna hung her and in that moment she was grateful to have a friend like Luna there with her to help ease her pain. Hunter however continued to cry and she couldn't stop from shaking in both fear and shame at what she'd done. She slowly laid down on the ground underneath her in an attempt to cry herself to sleep.

Petrie stepped over to Longtail with a frown.
"You eat night flowers...so why you no stand up?" he asked, not sure why Longtail had tried to stand or walk after eating the flowers.

Ruby continued to watch the others sleep and kept an eye on Tricia. "hmmm..." She then stood up and walked over to Littlefoot as she asked a fairly general question. "Ummm..Littlefoot, I'm stating to get hungry. I'm not sure there is any food around here for us."

MrDrake · **Reply #754 on:** February 23, 2010, 05:35:38 AM

Luna looked to Hunter some more, glancing back in the direction of the cave, then back to Hunter once more and laid down beside her "Don't worry, I'll be here....I don't want to go back to the cave anyway....cause of my father at the moment...." she glanced to Hunter before she curled up in a spot a few inches away from Hunter, giving her some room to herself at the very least. However, she glanced up to the night sky, still wide awake at the moment.

LBTFan13 · **Reply #755 on:** February 23, 2010, 09:35:31 AM

Littlefoot opened one eye on Ruby. "That could be a problem." He glanced over a Tricia and sighed. "She will definitely need something to eat soon. I think we all do." He looked back up at Ruby. "So what do you suggest? Should we wait for Hunter and Luna to come back and leave?"

Ichy rested on Dil's snout.

Rhett was pacing back and forth.

MrDrake · **Reply #757 on:** February 24, 2010, 05:22:23 AM

Luna looked over to Hunter as she sat up, speaking to herself at that point with a small sigh "Poor Hunter, I wish I could do something to help her out...." she thinks for a little bit before standing up and walking off in order to try and find something.

She walked on for a few minutes and looked into a nearby bush, but found nothing "Where's all the sweet bubbles?" she asked herself, believing that would be something Hunter would like in order to cheer her up as she continued to search bushes for the sweet bubbles still.

The Great Valley Guardian · **Reply #758 on:** February 28, 2010, 07:39:27 PM

Hunter sighed as she stopped talking to herself now realizing that Luna had stepped away as if she were looking for something. But Hunter simply kept her head down and continued to cry about her family.

Longtail had been thinking about what Petrie had said about trying to stand. And in a desperate act of both boredom and curiosity Longtail stretched his legs and slowly stood up finding that standing this time around was far easier although he also knew that some of his wounds still hadn't healed. Longtail gave a quiet laugh as he said, "This is actually pretty good. I can't wait till the others wake up."

Ruby however had seen Longtail standing and let a bright almost contagious smile grace her face as she walked over and patted Longtail on the back. "I'm glad you are feeling better, so now you must be better."

Azure Twiz and Petrie had been close enough to hear Ruby, and they too were glad to see Longtail moving around. "So I guess those flowers really did work." commented Azure.

"Looks that way." replied Twiz as she hugged his mate close.

MrDrake · **Reply #759 on:** February 28, 2010, 07:57:39 PM

Soon enough, Luna had returned, dragging a rather big leaf along the ground, right in front of Hunter "These are for you, they're some sweet bubbles I had found in some bushes, they're not much, but they're enough for you I believe" she told Hunter with a smile "I hope you like them"

Luna was indeed, hungry, but she was putting Hunter ahead of herself, something she tended to do with anyone, especially if they were a friend of hers. She felt her stomach growling, but decided not to actually worry about it as she put her claws together, smiling some more, indeed, hoping that Hunter would like them.
