Promises

A/N: HI! I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack! Ok, now this is a sequel and I hope you all like it. I don't own Manny, Sid, or Diego…ok, now read.

Chapter 1- Humans

(Nina's PoV) A/N: I only doing the Point of View in this chapter ok?

Weather returning to normal and everyone's goin' back home, I even managed to make a few friends! On the way back we had no problems…well, except for a few fights that broke out, but when you're in a group there's bound to be a few fights! (Families are a great example :) But other then that everything went smoothly…well…at least until we got back home…

"WHERE DID ALL THESE HUMANS COME FROM?" Uncle Diego shouted.

Yup…humans seemed to be poppin' up everywhere! I don't know how this happened, I mean, there weren't this many humans before, how did they all get here?

Mom sighed, "Apparently while we were gone, they humans have been multiplying."

"Geez! What are they? Rabbits?" I heard Uncle Diego mutter.

Before I could ask what that meant dad sighed "Well, lets just try to find a new place then…"

But this was easier said then done. Humans were everywhere! EVERYWHERE!We searched until nighttime…finally we found an area where there were no humans.

I yawned "Mom, dad, I'm tired…and my feet hurt…"

Mom sighed, "Ok, ok. Let just rest here for tonight."

Everyone seemed to agree with this and we all lay down for a good sleep. I don't really know what happened, even now…One minute, we're all sleeping peacefully, then suddenly I wake up.

Uncle Diego is up I see, so is everyone else. "Mom wha-" but she cuts me off. "Nina…whatever happens, run as fast as you can, ok?" she said softly.

I don't understand, but I never get to ask what she means, for suddenly Uncle Diego snarled "They're here, brace yourselves!" When I look up I gasp.

A ton of humans were running our way! With spears and fire and…and…dad suddenly hugged me "Love you Nina, now go!" Mom did the same before they push me away.

I looked back "But-but mo-"

"Nina leave!" she yelled, looking close to tears. Sid grabbed my trunk and pulled me away "Come on!" I glance back one more time before running with Sid.

At first we're still together but then he slows down and I lose him, remembering mom said to run as fast as you can, I do. Everything suddenly got darker, where'd the moon go?

Oh no…everything looks the same…where am I…is everything spinning…am I going in circles! So dark…I couldn't see anything…but I kept running, suddenly I hit something.

Whatever it was I hit, it was hard!I fell and closed my eyes…what the- something sticky is running down my head and on my face...somehow things get darker then they were before…

(End of Nina's PoV)

(Manny's PoV)

Here we are back home, but look, something different…

"WHERE DID ALL THESE HUMANS COME FROM!" Diego shouted. Sheba sighed, "Apparently while we were gone, they humans have been multiplying."

Diego scoffed "What are they, rabbits?"

I see Nina open her mouth to ask, but I'd rather not hear a fumbled explanation right now. "Well, lets find a new place then." I said calmly, I think…at least I hope it was calm.

So we walked…and walked…and walked…humans, everywhere! Finally we found a little spot that was clear and, right on cue, Nina whined "Mom, dad, I'm tired…and my feet hurt…"

Sheba sighed, "Ok, ok. Lets just rest here for the night." I couldn't agree with her more and laid down next to a boulder, Sheba and Nina snuggled up to me and soon we were all asleep.

But I only seemed to have a second to enjoy it because I heard movement. Slowly I open my eyes. Diego's awake he's looking around with his ears pricked up.

I shook my head "Ugh…Diego? Wha-"

"Shh! Listen…" he said quietly. I close my eyes and listen…what…barking?…(gasp!) Humans! At night? Humans don't hunt at night!…right?

"Sheba…Sheba, wake up!" I said nudging her in the side. She slowly lifted her head "Huh? Wha…Manny? What's goin' on? The sun's still down…"

"We've got company." I said, slightly angry.

She stared at me for a second, but then there was a loud bark "(Gasp!) Oh my…Nina…Sid! Get up!" she said.

When she stood up Sid rolled off her back. He gave a small yelp "AH! Whas! Wha-wha's goin' on!" Nina yawned and slowly shook her head to wake up.

Sheba looked at her then at me "Manny…"

I nodded "Right, Sid humans are coming…you take Nina far away, we'll met you as soon as we're done here."

He nodded as Nina looked at all of us.

She looked at Sheba "Mom wha-"

"Nina…whatever happens, run as fast as you can, ok?" she said softly.

She adapted a look of confusion but she didn't get to ask because Diego snarled "They're here, brace yourselves!" Nina did a double take and gasped when she saw them.

A ton of humans were running our way, with spears and fire and…and…

-Flashback-

"Hee! Come get me dad!" "Dad? What are those glowing things in the sky?" "Heh, I think mom'll want some food to!"

"DAAAADDDDDYYYY!"

I look over, it's the middle of the night "Oy…what?"

"Dad, I heard a noise, I'm ascared!"

I smile "Don't worry, I'll be here to keep you safe…I promise…"

"Really? Thanks. Heh, love you dad!"

Nina's still a little baby, she couldn't even open her eyes but whimpers.

"Don't worry…I'll keep you safe…I promise…"

Nina smiles "Heh, love you daddy!"

-Flashbacks end-

I…I can't lose another one…I promised! Quickly I wrap my trunk around her neck "Love you Nina, now go!" Sheba does the same when I let her go.

Nina looked back at us "But-but mo-"

"Nina leave!" Sheba yelled, looking close to tears. Sid grabbed her trunk and pulled her away "Come on!" Nina gave us on last look before going with him.

Once they were out of sight we faced our threat. As many humans as there were, they couldn't back us into a wall this time…we had the upper hand.

-----

True, we did get a little injured but everyone was pretty much ok. (I'm too lazy to make a fight scene, use your imaginations for cryin' out loud!)

Sheba took a deep breath "Come on, lets go get Sid and Nina." I nodded and Diego followed their tracks. We caught up with them…well, one of them.

"Sid! Where's Nina?" I said angrily.

He had his paws on his knees gasping for breath "I…she…ran…"

"YOU LOST HER!" I yelled.

We searched for a long time…no Nina…

"No…she can't be…NINA!"

THE END…for now!

'Oo' is probably what you're thinking, right? Yes, sad beginning, but just keep reading, it gets better!
