A few branches were pushed down, snapping sometimes, and falling to the floor as a swimmer walked slowly through the thick forest. Vines hung lowly, and nearly tangled her in their path. She struggled, and managed to snap the vines with her hands. "There are so many green hangy thingies, yep yep yep..." She lowered her head to duck under a low hanging branch.

She suddenly stopped. Something didn't feel right. She rose her head in the air, and took in a few breaths through her nose. She sniffed the air, first in one direction, then another. "Hmm...that's strange. I could've sworn I smelled something." She shrugged, and continued walking along the narrow path produced by a large spiketail dragging its tail along.

There was a low growl that crept into the still air. Ducky froze in her tracks, body stiff. "Wh-Who's there...?"

Then she heard it, a dark chuckling voice, a hideous growling voice in the darkness. She whipped around to come face to face with the same sharptooth that attacked her a few nights ago. "You...?" She trembled, backing away.

The sharptooth had blue skin, with pale blue belly and snout. He had 3 claws on each hand, two horns on his head, and dark blue fins on his back. As he walked toward Ducky, he licked his lips. "Yes, it's me, Ducky." He grinned.

Ducky's breathing was quickening. "But how do you know me...?"

The sharptooth narrowed his eyes. "You mean you don't remember me?" Ducky shook her head. The sharptooth snarled. "How could you forget me!"

Ducky cringed at the sharptooth's outburst. "I-I-Is it bad I forgot...?"

He narrowed his eyes. The pupils narrowed as well. "In a way, yes..." He stomped forward a few steps. Ducky continued backing away. She couldn't help but realize that this sharptooth did look familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. The sharptooth shook his head. "But then again, I see it won't matter anyway..." His voice trailed off for a few seconds, then he spoke again, "Since you're going to be my lunch today..."

Ducky's eyes widened with horror. "No..no..no..." She starting backing up quickly, the sharptooth keeping in advance with every step.

"Yes..yes..yes..." The sharptooth taunted, opening his large mouth full of lots of pointy, sharp teeth ready to clamp down on the swimmer's young body.

Ducky turned around and ran.

"You won't escape me this time, swimmer!" He charged after her, his loud stomps shaking the ground.

Cera and Lizzie suddenly stopped their search for Petrie when they heard an ear-piercing scream coming from where Ducky had headed. "Ducky!" They shouted together. Cera turned around and charged towards the scream.

"Hurry, Cera! The sharptooth probably got to her!" Lizzie shouted.

Cera rolled her eyes. "Don't you think I know that?"

Lizzie didn't answer as they charged as fast as they could toward's the direction of Ducky's scream.

The sharptooth snapped at Ducky's hindquarters, barely missing by an inch! Ducky screamed again, tried to speed up. The sharptooth growled in frustration, and snapped again. He was so close to getting her that Ducky had to pick her leg up in the air and give the sharptooth a kick to the head.

Not a good idea, as Ducky found out the hard way. The sharptooth's skull was pretty hard. It was like kicking a rock. The sharptooth didn't seem to feel it, and continued charging, mouth wide open.

Ducky looked desperately for a way to lose the sharptooth. She looked for an escape route, but didn't find any. The paths were either to tangled to outrun the sharptooth or they had nothing useful to hide in. "I've...got...to...lose..him..." She panted.

"I've got you!" The sharptooth lunged forward with his jaws, trying to bite her neck! Ducky shrieked, and ducked. She then headbutted the meat-eater under his chin, causing him to topple backwards a little. Ducky took this advantage and ran off.

The sharptooth wasn't dazed for long. He shook it off, and growled angrily. "Nice try, but it wasn't good enough, swimmer!" The chase was on again.

Ducky was running a little slower, thinking she had lost the sharptooth. She was breathing heavily, trying to catch her breath. Her tongue stuck out to the side, and her eyes were partway closed. She then slowed to a walk, and leaned against an old tree.

"At least...I lost...the sharptooth..." She panted breathlessly.

"Oh, you really think so?" Her eyes grew big, and before she had any time at all to react, a hard head slammed into her side, knocking her across the ground. She coughed painfully, and looked up. It was the sharptooth again. He grinned as he walked slowly towards her. Ducky didn't have the strength to get up. She struggled a little, but fell back down. The blow to her side must've broken a few of her ribs.

"Please...don't..." She asked pleadingly.

"You know how it is, Ducky. Sharpteeth kill to eat, and you are what we kill..." He opened his jaws and started to lower them towards her neck to finish her off. Ducky closed her eyes tightly, waiting for the immense pain to come, but it never did...

The sharptooth cried out in pain as something slammed into his side. He fell to the floor, and quickly climbed back to his feet again. "Who dares interfere!" He snarled angrily. He took one look at Cera, and growled hatefully. "You..."

Lizzie ran towards Ducky as Cera stood her ground, brandishing her horns in front of the sharptooth. "Yeah, me!" She kicked dirt in the air with her front legs, and lowered her head. "And what are you doing hurting my friend?" She charged forward.

The sharptooth chuckled, and stood off to the side at the last second. The threehorn looked bewildered. She thought sharpteeth were supposed to be stupid. "How did you..." But she was cut off as the sharptooth raised his foot and kicked her in the side. The threehorn toppled over, and crashed into the earth.

"We sharptooth are not as dumb as you leaf-eaters think we are." He hissed through clenched teeth. "We are actually smarter than you."

Cera struggled to her feet. "Oh yeah...? We'll see about that!" She charged again. This time, as the sharptooth made the move, Cera twisted her head over, and managed to barely slice the sharptooth's side. The meat-eater cried out in pain, and stared at the thin gash the threehorn just made.

Cera smiled. "See?"

The sharptooth grinned. "That was...pretty good. But not good enough!" This time, it was his turn to make the first move. His body lowered and mouth opened, he charged towards the horned dinosaur. This time, he lowered his and met her horns with his own. They stayed locked for several minutes, then let go.

Lizzie watched in horror was Cera took on the seemingly intelligent sharptooth. "Oh Cera..."

"You're not so bad yourself..." Cera said before charged again. The sharptooth barely dodged. He opened his mouth and snapped at Cera, but she dodged.

The sharptooth lowered his head and ran towards the plant-eater. He pretended to charge her head. This would throw her off guard. As Cera tried to meet his charge with her own, he quickly manuevered himself over, and slammed one of his horns into her shoulder.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Cera cried out in agony. Blood poured out of the wound, and she felt her leg buckle and she fell to the side. She glared at the sharptooth. "That...was...a dirty trick..."

"So was that move you made earlier." He eyed the gash on his side, still bleeding. He walked over, lifted his foot, and slashed Cera in the side. She cried out in pain once again, tears dripping from her eyes.

Ducky struggled to her feet. "No...leave her alone!"

Lizzie started running over. "Cera!" She felt herself being held back by Ducky. "Let me go! I gotta help her!"

Ducky held onto Lizzie as she managed to get on her feet. "Sharptooth! Leave her alone!" She tried to sound tough, but in reality, she felt scared.

The sharptooth took one look at Ducky, and grinned. "Leave her alone? Why should I...?" He lowered his head towards Cera's neck, and opened his jaws. "It's time I stop her interference once and for all."

Ducky ran over, shouting, "NO!" She slammed into the sharptooth, knocking him down. Angry, he kicked her in the stomach, causing her to double over in pain. "Oo..." She moaned.

"Perhaps I should get rid of you instead..." He opened his mouth to attack, but stopped. And then he gave an eerie smile. "No...not yet." He lifted his foot and kicked Ducky in the head, knocking her out cold.

"Now where was I? Oh yes..." He walked towards Cera, who still laid on the floor, gasping for air. He felt something striking him lightly on his foot. He looked down and spotted a tinysaur. He licked his chops. "Another snack..." He bent down, and sank his teeth into the animal's body.

"No...Liz..." Cera coughed up blood. It wasn't long before the sharptooth swallowed Lizzie in front of Cera's eyes.

"Now for you..." He bent down, and the last thing Cera saw was a set of teeth. The sharptooth clamped his jaws on Cera's head. A sudden wave of pain filled Cera's mind. Then a crushing sound, like something splitting bone open. Then, suddenly, the pain was gone, and darkness engulfed her.

Somewhere else a dark grey sickleclaw opened his eyes. "The threehorn and another tinysaur are gone." This caught the attention of who was right on his side, a dark brown longneck.

"Are you sure?"

The sickleclaw only nodded saddly "Yeah. I can't feel then anymore."
