Cruel Sea

by Joseph Ida

Bay-clan's life is all about the Ocean but when Talonkit and Flowerkit become apprentices, Smokestar fears bad luck will hit the clan. All of these characters are OC's but I don't own the series. Very loosely based off the Cruel Sea Episode from Walking with Dinosaurs which I also don't own.

1. Prologue

Prologue

"The most fearsome predator of the Jurassic is watching his prey. Peering through the water, the carnivore fixes on his unwary victim, waiting for the perfect moment to strike." Smokestar opened narrating the tale to the kits.

"What happened next?" Talonkit mewed.

"Then suddenly a giant beast the size of the island that our very paws have stood on bursts out of the water and snatched the hind walking lizard by the tail and it swiftly dragged it under. It vanished in a blink of an eye and we never seen it again." Smokestar mewed. Talonkit and Flowerkit were amazed.

"What does Bay-clan call this monster?" Flowerkit mewed nervously.

"Our deputy calls it the Island swimmer, the queens call it the kit eater, our warriors called it the largest fish in the ocean. But I call it Liopleurodon." Smokestar mewed as he existed the nursery to get some rest.

They range from 16 to 23 feet and can weigh up to four thousand pounds but the creature that Bay-clan relies on is 82 feet long and weighs 150 tons. He is as old as Bay-clan themselves.)

[A/N]: I had a choice between 4 stories and I chose this one since it would be the most interesting. Plus having a clan that's lives revolve around the ocean isn't original but I would try to make it interesting as possible to keep your attention. If you haven't seen the Cruel Sea Episode, you won't understand this Fanfiction that I'm posting. I suggest you watch the episode first before reading this but enjoy reading this.
