Chapter 9
Perspective: Jared
A fate worse than death
"Jared! My mom is letting us go hunting with them today!" Speckles shouted.
"Wow sounds like some dinosaur is in big trouble today." I said patting his head.
We headed towards the hunting ground and decided to split up.
"Be careful Hun." Speckles mother said affectionately.
"Don't worry mom! Soon I'll be a better chaser than him!" He replied.
I chuckled in amusement.
"Love the optimism Speckles." I interjected. Don't worry I'll watch him.
We moved into position by the herd.
Suddenly, without warning, Speckles charged the dinosaurs, proclaiming "I'll take you on! I'm the great Speckles!"
I sighed.
"Speckles you're not going to scare anyone like that now get back here before you get hurt!" I ordered as the dinosaurs shouted at him.
Suddenly the ground shook.
I looked on as a colossal herd of dinosaurs came running towards us, and the wretched one eye backing it.
"Jared!" I heard smith through my suit.
"The tyrannosaurus is chasing a stampede toward you!" He warned.
"No really? I thought it was an invisible volcano!" I shouted sarcastically.
Speckles was caught in the stampede and in grave danger by this point, Quicks and I both rushed to his aid, I began diverting dinosaurs while Quicks went to help Speckles. Everything was going well until I saw something that made my heart sink. I saw Quicks, crushed beneath several other dinosaurs.
He was dead.
"No..." I said to myself under my breath.
"Jared I'm getting some strange signals-"
"Honestly smith do you really think I care right now?!"
"Jared!" Speckles shouted.
"I'm coming Speckles!" I shouted as I charged through the herd towards him. I was almost there when a Torosaurus knocked me aside, damaging my suit.
"Jared you have to help my mom!" He shouted in a panicked tone.
"Hang on!"
I shouted as I pulled myself out of my suit.
I hit a manual release that unleashed a swarm of nanobots, which swarmed over my suit, fixing it as they went.
I clambered back in as my suit rebooted.
I sat in silence as my suit's central computer whirled calmly.
Finally my audio receptors came online.
"Mom!" Speckles shouted.
"Honey! If I can't get out of this, Jared will take care of you! He is family and he will be good to you I promise."
"No mom!"
My suit suddenly groaned as the mechanics lit up and roared to life.
I shot up onto my feet and began sprinting towards Speckles's mother.
"I love you Speckles-"
Her sentence was cut short when she tumbled over the edge of the chasm.
I stopped dead my tracks as I attempted to grip what had just happened, I stepped back slowly in denial, as Speckles desolately cried for his mother behind me.
I fell to my knees, everything that had happened in the previous ten minutes was a colossal failure on my end, and I was entirely responsible for the fact that Speckles, who was a fully intelligent being, had just lost his entire family, due to my failure.
I took a deep breath and stood up shakily.
I turned around to face Speckles, but he was gone.
I remembered what I'd heard before my suit came back online.
"Jared will take care of you! He's family!" Her voice emanated throughout my mind.
I looked up and decided I would find him, if it was the last thing I did. I looked back at One Eye.
And one day, somehow, I would personally tear that reptilian brute's gullet out.
okay so again check out Speckles if you'd like he's very eager to meet you :D! Thank you guys so much for reading if you liked it leave a review or feel free to PM me. And I will see you (hopefully) for chapter 10
