Luna was just looking at Hunter, at first, not sure on what to actually say as she stepped back slightly "I-I-I....." was all she had said at first, shaking her head some as well, as if to try and snap out more from her instincts and to return to normal.

"Wh-Wh-What.....What happened?" she finally got around to asking before looking over at what she had done, looking back away from the corpse of the longneck she had killed previously "Oh....I'm....I'm a.....monster.....I'm.....terrible...." was what she had said with a small shake of her head as she stepped back a little more still as she rubbed her hands in the process, shaking quiet a bit by now.

Littlefoot glanced at Cyrix. "Not just yet. We have to wait for Hunter and Luna." The more he thought about Luna, the more he began to wonder whether or not she was truly safe with them. Maybe this wasn't a good idea. Maybe she should have stayed with her father. He would have at least been able to care for her. Littlefoot then shook his head. "It was her choice," he muttered to himself. "She wanted to leave with us, so we'll just have to look out after her as well. I just hope we can."

Cyrix noted that Littlefoot was right. "I do hope those two are alright. It seems that Luna either unwilling or unable to doesn't want to accept the fact that she has to eat meat to survive. Well...I do know one thing, Hunter is sure to make Luna understand." he commented with a warm smile.

Longtail stared into Pearl's eyes and he smiled.

Pearl giggled as she felt Longtail staring at her and she asked, "What is it?" And she was shocked when she heard his answer.

"Your eyes...they me of Zaine, when he was a hatchling. So full of life...and joy." commented Longtail with a soft smile on his beak.

Hunter walked over to Luna and standing on her hind legs gave Luna a hug.
"It's okay....really Luna. It is. You're a fastbiter, and that's what our kind eat. Please, don't be scared or upset with yourself, its the circle of life...and you had to eat. It's just a part of nature and you have to learn to accept it."

Luna's eyes widened slightly as Hunter gave her a hug, not actually expecting to get a hug or anything like that "I"m....I'm sorry for what I had done....I just....I couldn't control it.....that's why....I don't like eating meat.....afraid that was going to happen.....and well...."

Luna then looked away at that point "What....what if it happens again.....and I....don't snap out of it? What.....what if I do something.....terrible.....like.....hurting you?" she spoke rather sadly and immediatly stepped back away from Hunter a few feet, already hating the thought of doing something like that.

As Petrie all out sighed in relief, Twiz gave a small smile of his own, even as Azure hugged him tightly, "Yeah" he sighed, "this back and forth of worrying over him is getting old". It was evident though the slight joke just came from being glad Longtail was ok as well.

"I, I could fly and look for them" Petrie offered as they talked of having to find Hunter and Luna first.

Littlefoot nodded. "That's a good idea, but please be careful Petrie. I don't want you gone for too long. Go quickly and alert us if you see them or anybody else." Littlefoot didn't want another member of his herd getting hurt, especially one of his closest friends. If anything happens to them, I'll never forgive myself.

(OOC: Want to use this chance to bring in my other character....you guys know her already....Skye :lol: )

Not far from everyone else, there was a loud sounding thud, followed by an annoyed groan, then followed by another loud thud, and then, yet, another annoyed sounding groan.

"They should've fallen by now!" the voice spoke out, unaware at who else was not too far from her.

It was a threehorn, it was Skye whom was trying to get some green food to fall of the tree she was charging at, and was getting rather annoyed at the luck she was having, which wasn't doing to well.  The green food had not fallen off the tree as she turned around, walked a few feet away from the tree before turning to face it.

She moved her foot on the ground slightly, ready to charge once more before taking off, charging at the tree with a loud thud once she hit it.  The green food from the tree top finally fell down onto the ground "Finally...." she grumbled and begun to eat the green food on the ground.

With a nod, Petrie took off, scanning about for any sign of Luna or Hunter. He soon spotted out two sharpteeth that he thought could be them, though from this height it was hard to tell. He flew down closer to investigate.

In the meantime, Spike's group simply watched in disgust as fighting continued.  Suddenly, Ducky felt a sharp pang in her stomach.  This caused her to let out a small cry of pain, but it still managed to catch the attention of Renn.

"What's wrong, sweetie?" he asked in a whisper.

"I really hate to complain, and I know that everyone else feels the same here, but I am so hungry, yep yep yep," Ducky quietly whimpered.  Renn gently held his mate in response and tried to comfort her.

"It'll be okay, Ducky.  I'm sure Littlefoot knows what he's doing.  He'll get us to this place that's full of green food, and hopefully soon," Renn soothed before he looked over at Longtail.  "If only some grownups didn't act like raging fools in the worst of situations, we'd be in that direction already."

"Hopefully, Longtail will see reason soon," Spike added before he looked at his sister.  "We'll be okay, Ducky."

Meanwhile, Aurelia watched the threehorn named Skye as she tried to get a scarce amount of food.  Just as she was about to head over and offer to help, Skye managed to knock the food down, so she simply continued to stay put and in silence as she controlled her anger towards the fighting.

Skye was unaware that she was actualy being watched at the moment as she continued to eat what she had managed to get from the tree until she was finished, leaving only a single leaf behind.

She sat down onto the ground and gave off a burp as well and a bit of a grin to herself as well as she took a glance around before her eyes stopped upon seeing Aurelia and spoke up straight away to her "Didn't anyone tell you that it was rude to stare at others?"

The threehorn stood up and walked right over to Aurelia before sitting down from her a few feet "What are you doing here anyway? I thought that there was no one else around" of course, she didn't know about Hunter and Luna whom just had a little fight, nor of the others that were around as she believed that the area she had found was suppose to be desolate and uninhabbited.

Already aggravated by Longtail's behavior, Aurelia nearly snapped at the threehorn over the way she had spoken to her.  However, she did not want to get into a fight herself and therefore calmed herself down before she spoke.

"Sorry, I thought you'd need help gettin' that food down, but then I saw ya got it yourself," Aurelia replied in a calm manner.  "As for why I'm here, it's 'cuz our home was destroyed and we're now lookin' for a new home.  I'm not sure if you've run into anybody else, but there's a whole herd of us here."  She then gestured to Spike, Ducky, and Renn.

"These guys are especially good friends to me," she added.  Ducky and Renn waved at Skye while Spike politely nodded before they returned their attention to Longtail.

"Oh, now I'm really bein' rude.  Name's Aurelia, what's yours?" Aurelia asked.

"Skye" the threehorn replied back to her as she looked over to the others again "But if you want to know, no, I hadn't run into anyone else before....and before you ask about where my family is....they're not here....they're dead.....died a while ago" she spoke with a little bit of a shrug.

She paused for a moment, as if to go quiet a little bit and muttered something to herself instead "Great...shouldn't have told them that...." was what she had muttered with a slight grumble as well.

She then gave off a light little laugh "Yeah....I've been doing everything myself for quiet some time.....no family, no friends, no love life....nothing at all....just me"

"I'm sorry to hear that, but I think I can understand.  I've been on my own since I was just a hatchling.  My family got killed by some sharpteeth, and I was the only one that had managed to escape.  My new friends are the only family I have," the threehorn replied.

"Yeah, well, you're lucky that you have friends and a family as well" Skye replied back as she looked to the sky a little bit "My family was killed when I was heading to the Great Valley after the great earthshake that seperated me from them, I mean, I went around looking for them and I found them....at the bottom of the great divide....I believe they had fallen to their doom...."

She gave off a bit of a sigh as well as she looked to the ground some with a small sniffle as well.

"I'm really sorry to hear that.  So, that means you're here all by yourself?" Aurelia asked, holding back tears as she did.  She hated to see others feeling sad.

"Yeah, I'm a one dinosaur herd, just me and me only, no one else" Skye replied back rather proudly, although deep down, she did still miss her famility, she just didn't like to let it show that she actualy had feelings.

"Since that's the case, would ya be interested in joining our herd?" Aurelia asked in response.

At first, Skye was just speachless as everyone she's come across would usually not bother to ask her something like that.  She looked to the side for a moment "Be part of a herd? That....that.....that would be nice actually...." she spoke, but a little more quietly as well.

"You're always welcome to join us.  I'm sure Littlefoot would have no problem with that," Aurelia said with a smile.

"It's just that no one's ever asked me that before, they always assumed that I was alright by myself...." Skye spoke with a sigh as she lay down onto the ground "Leaving me all alone...I always thought that's what I would be like....destined to be alone...."
