[Ice Age] Diego x Reader Book 2.

Chapter 10.

"No, Diego, I promise that I'll be fine and we'll see each other there, and besides, someone has to look after Manny so you and Sid go with him, okay?" I said and pressed my head against his head.

"O-okay, but promise me that we'll see in the other side?" He asked.

"I promise." I said and he nodded and kissed my forehead. I turned around and when I was about to run after Ellie and the boys, I heard Diego call me.

"Y/n!" He shouted and I turned around.

"What?" I asked and noticed that he was trying to say something but couldn't quite do it.

"I- I just— Just-, don't die, okay?" He asked but took breaks at the beginning.

"Don't worry, I don't." I said and went to run after Ellie and the boys and Diego did the same but went after Manny and Sid.

Luckily they didn't walk for very long as I caught them surprisingly fast.

"Ellie! Wait!" I shouted and they looked at me.

"Sweetie, what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be with Diego?" Ellie asked.

"Yes, but I wanted to make sure nothing happens to you guys, and besides, drowning sounds better than exploding into the air." I said back to her and she nodded her head.
"Okay, we have to hurry, there's still a trip to the boat." I said and we continued our journey but now we walked faster than usual.
Not so long as we heard a loud growl from behind us and felt the ground beneath our feet begin to vibrate. We stopped to listen and looked at each other in horror.

"Oh no... the dam." Ellie said to herself.
"We have to go. Now!" I said and we started running towards the boat. I promised Diego that we would meet each other, so I'm going to keep my promise. After running for a while we saw that there was no longer a long distance for the boat and we were just going through one of the caves.

"There it is!" Ellie shouted and stopped to look at the boat in front of us.

"Ellie! Oh! Whoa!" Crash shouted as the ground beneath us began to vibrate more violently and large and ever larger rocks began to fall and the cave where we were began to collapse upon us. Ellie took both Crash and Eddie under her trunk to protect them.

"Whoa!" I shouted as the mouth of the cave behind us was covered with huge stones, covering our second exit.
"Come on, come on! We have to run! Run!" I shouted at them and I pushed Ellie forward. We got to run but just as we were getting out, I noticed that another big boulder of rock was dropping to the mouth of the cave.

"Ellie stop!" I shouted and stopped Ellie just in time before a boulder of rock fell to the ground, covering our way out of the cave. Oh no, we're trapped. We didn't hesitate for a moment as we all started pushing the boulder forward,

"Push!" Eddie shouted and we kept pushing the boulder but we didn't succeed because it was too heavy. Ellie soon stopped as she saw a small hole up in the rock.

"You guys got to go." Ellie said to the boys.

"We're not leaving you two." Crash said against.

"I'm not asking." Ellie said and soon grabbed the two of them with her trunk and pushed them out of the cave.

"Y/n! Ellie! Don't worry! We're going for help!" Eddie shouted at us from the other side.

"Stay here!" Crash shouted at us.

"All right! Go, now!" I shouted at them and they probably left, I didn't see them but I think they left, they have to...

Third Person POV:

Crash and Eddie went running to find Manny, Diego, and Sid so they could help Ellie and Y/n to get out of the cave.

"Go and find Manny! I'll go and look for Diego and Sid!" Eddie shouted at his brother as they ran and Crash nodded his head as they set out in different directions to look for them.

"Help us!"
"Help!"
"Somebody help!" They shouted and bounced over the backs of running mammals.

~ With Crash ~

"Manny!" Crash shouted as he noticed Manny and noticed that he was also looking for them.

"Manny!" He shouted and ran to Manny while being careful not to get under the feet of running mammals.
"Manny!" Crash shouted as he climbed on his back.
"It's Ellie, and Y/n! They're trapped in a cave!" Crash continued in panic and pointed his hand in the direction of the cave. Manny didn't hesitate for a moment and immediately started running towards the cave where both Ellie and Y/n were trapped.

~ Meanwhile with Eddie ~

'Where is he?! Where is he?!' Eddie thought in panic as he tried to find both, Diego and Sid amid running mammals. He looked around and was unable to find them until he saw Diego jumping on one rock and out of the shadow of the panicking mammals.

"Diego!" He shouted and set out to jump over the backs of running mammals, toward Diego.

"Diego! Here!" He shouted and luckily this time Diego noticed him.

"What are you doing here? Where's Y/n?! Shouldn't she be with you?!" Diego asked in panic as he didn't saw you anywhere.

"Y/n and Ellie are trapped in a cave! Come on, we have to help them!" Eddie told him and the moment he heard what the opossum was saying, his eyes widened and the world around him slowed, he could still hear your promise inside his head.
"Oh no! What are we waiting for?! We have to go!" Sid said below them.

And before Sid and Eddie even realized it, Diego was coming to save you because as you promised him, you're still going to see each other and Diego is still going to tell you that he loves you, no matter what.
