The sharptooth looked at her hungrily, and walked forward, prepared to slice his teeth into her flesh as well.\n\n\"NO!\" Came a loud voice, and a long tail lashed out of nowhere and struck the hunter in his side, knocking him down. Ducky looked, surprised, and found Littlefoot standing there, teeth clenched together. The sharptooth, surprised to find another challenger, struggled to his feet. He raised his horned head towards the longneck and snarled.\n\n\"Littlefoot? I'm surprised to see you here.\" He smiled.\n\nLittlefoot turned his head, and noticed Cera's dead body. Eyes wide with shock, he muttered, \"Cera...? No...\" He closed his eyes and let a couple of tears fall through, and then he gave the sharptooth a look that could kill if it had the power to. \"You... Why are you doing this...?\" He took a step forward. \"Sharpteeth are supposed to kill when they are hungry, but you...you do it whenever you please, don't you?\"\n\nThe sharptooth grinned, exposing his long sharp teeth to the longneck. \"Is that a problem, dear little longneck?\" He tilted his head, the same dark smile on his snout. \"After all, it is called 'survival of the fittest', is it not?\"\n\n\"It doesn't mean you can kill anything anytime you want!\" Littlefoot shouted.\n\nThe sharptooth chuckled. \"My my, what a temper you have...\" He shook his head. \"Tsk, tsk, tsk. You should learn to control your temper.\"\n\nBut Littlefoot wasn't listening. He was so angry, he could've shot lasers from his eyes and killed the sharptooth. His body grew tense from the anger, his face turning red. \"You like to kill...more than you like to eat...\" He stared the sharptooth straight in the eye. \"Isn't that right!\" He shouted. He couldn't take his mind off what happened to Cera, Lizzie, and Dusty.\n\nThe predator grinned. \"Control your anger. Stress is a killer.\"\n\nLittlefoot's eyes widened. \"So are you!\"\n\n\"I guess there's no use in talking to you.\" He shrugged. He started to turn around and vanish into the forest once again, but Littlefoot called to him.\n\n\"Where do you think you're going!\" He yelled. \"I'm not finished here!\"\n\nThe sharptooth shrugged. He looked back at Littlefoot, eyeing him through the backside of his red eye. \"Well I am. You see, Littlefoot...I don't want to fight you, not yet...\" His lips curled back into an evil snarl. \"But I promise you that you and I will face one another...very soon.\" He chuckled. He disappeared into the forest.\n\nAs soon as he was gone, Littlefoot ran towards Ducky, and lowered his head. \"Ducky, are you okay?\"\n\nDucky glared at him. \"Do I look okay?\"\n\n\"Uhh...no...\" Littlefoot muttered.\n\n\"I still haven't found Petrie...\" Ducky said, hoping to draw Littlefoot's mind away from what happened to Cera.\n\nLittlefood answered, \"Not surprised. Spike and I couldn't find him either.\"\n\nThe swimmer struggled to her feet, and leaned against Littlefoot for support. They started walking back towards their homes near the center of the valley. \"Littlefoot? How did you know where I was?\"\n\nLittlefoot smiled slightly. \"I followed the screams.\"\n\nDucky chuckled a little. \"That loud, huh?\"\n\n\"Booming.\" Littlefoot said.\n\nAs they headed towards the center of the valley, they were greeted by Spike. He had his head low, as if something was wrong. Littlefoot and Ducky approached him as quickly as they could.\n\n\"Spike?\" Ducky asked, staring at her step-brother.\n\n\"Hi, Ducky...\" His voice trailed off. He shuffled his feet, and eyed Ducky and Littlefoot. \"Topsy want you.\"\n\nLittlefoot and Ducky were taken aback. \"What?\"\n\nSpike nodded. \"Yes. He want to see you. Messa dinks it very important.\" He pointed his head towards where Mr. Threehorn was waiting. Littlefoot and Ducky looked at each other, and started walking towards that direction, joined by Spike.\n\nLittlefoot started wondering what Mr. Threehorn wanted with him. It couldn't possibly be about Cera's death. It just happened. And he wasn't anywhere to be seen. Maybe it was about the sharptooth incidents. That must be it.\n\nAs they were approaching the center of the valley where they held the meeting, Littlefoot could see Mr. Threehorn standing right there, looking at him. And by the looks of his face, he didn't look very happy, not happy at all...\n\n  \n  \n\n","series":{"name":"Out of the Shadows: AnthroLover's Version","previous":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/486284-interruption.json","next":"https://fse.anthro.fr/stories/486746-a-traitor-of-reluctance.json"}}
