Hey guys! Guess who's back? Anyway, I'm sorry I've not been updating much, life happens. Anyway, I'm excited to write the next chapter considering it will get epic. However, it's slightly violent (That's why I rated this story K+). Until then, enjoy this chapter.

Ever since Ian left, the family was not the same. It was quiet, and it rained much more.

Blue would lay in the pen and daydream about Ian. She even got angry sometimes. She knew it wasn't his fault. She knew that Ian was afraid to confront the family at this point in time, but he had to come home. She waited, hoping he would run to the pen, wagging his long tail, wearing his humorous crooked smile, and playing like life was going to go on forever. Blue loved everything about him, if only he was here to see what has become of the family without him.

Owen didn't talk much. He played his trombone more often, and pretended Ian was slamming the oven right next to him. Owen started to write poetry again as well. He often wrote them remembering Ian with every stroke of the pencil.

Claire got a little more creative in the kitchen after the cabbage cake prank. She made cake, cookies, and even macaroons if she had a spare moment. Claire stared out the window, hoping Ian would pop his head in and be ready to help, but so far, only the sky was seen.

Maisie has been crying herself to sleep ever since Ian left. When she discovered that he left, her heart felt that it was smashed against a brick wall. She had nightmares about him being dead or not wanting to come home.

Maisie suddenly heard something from out the window. It was a familiar roar.

"Ian?" She thought as she ran downstairs.

"Mom! Dad!" She exclaimed.

Claire was making cookies while Owen was writing a poem.

"Yes, Maisie?" Claire asked.

"I heard Ian outside! He's calling to us!"

"I'm not sure honey, that could just be the T-rex,"

"It's him, I'm sure of it. Can we at least check?"

Claire and Owen looked at each other.

"Sure, but let's take Blue," Owen answered.

Maisie bolted out the door and ran over to Blue, who was asleep.

"Blue! Wake up!"

Blue sprung up immediately.

"I think Ian is coming back we're going to find him. Do you want to come?"

Blue jumped over the fence and smiled the best she could.

"I'll take that as a yes," Maisie replied as the two ran back to the house.

Forest, 9:15 pm…

Ian had no idea how long he was running for, but he ran long enough to where his legs became numb and he no longer felt pain. He paused for a moment. He saw trees that have been knocked down and pushed out of the way, creating a path. Ian knew what made it, and he hoped he wasn't too late.

Further ahead...

The Trikylosaurus rammed every tree in his way as if he was a bulldozer with no controls. The Trikylosaurus stopped and sniffed the ground.

"The pesky child isn't far," He thought, "What's this, an automobile? It reveals the smell of the humans. Once I destroy them, Ian will have no choice but to challenge me, and what chance does an ignorant and naïve kid have against me!?"

The Trikylosaurus's booming laugh echoed through the sky.

Elsewhere in the Forest…

Owen, Claire, Maisie, and Blue were searching for Ian for about half an hour. The sky was already pitch black, and the truck was having a hard time with the deep mud puddles. The storm was roaring in the sky as the raindrops were becoming hail.

"Maybe we should go back," Claire said, "The storm is getting worse,"

"Can we look a little longer?" Maisie asked with her puppy eyes.

"Fine," Owen sighed, "I can never resist the puppy eyes,"

"You resist mine," Claire added.

"You're not twelve years old," Owen replied.

"Wait-"

The conversation was cut off by a deep roar. Blue, who was running beside the truck, suddenly began to yelp like crazy.

"Blue?" Maisie exclaimed as the car began to shake slightly.

Blue was attacking something outside, it was thrashing her around like a ragdoll. After it threw Blue, the thing rammed into the truck and pushed it down a nearby hill. The family screamed as the truck flipped multiple times and landed on the wheels. Owen tried to push the gas, but it wasn't working.

"Okay, on the count of three, we get of the car and-"

"Three!" Claire yelled as everyone leapt out of the car and ran off.

The thing charged at them and was intercepted by Blue.

"It's you!" Blue cried out as the Trikylosaurus cackled like a psycho.

Suddenly, the Trikylosaurus charged, with Blue still on his head. He thrashed about, ramming Blue into the trees. As a few fell over, one tree separated Maisie from Owen and Claire. The Trikylosaurus managed to throw Blue at Owen and Claire. Blue immediately got up, but Blue's weight knocked Owen unconscious for a few seconds. Then, as quick as the lightning that struck above, the Trikylosaurus turned around charged at Maisie at full speed.

"Maisie!" Claire screamed as Maisie ran as fast as she could away from the Trikylosaurus.

The monster managed to corner Maisie against some trees. His yellow eyes stared at her, boiling with rage. Maisie knew if she turned around even for a second, the Trikylosaurus would kill her either using his tail or his horns.

"Face your fate," The Trikylosaurus said, "You can't run, hide, or survive. You will die, and no one can help you. Not even that wimp that calls himself a dinosaur,"

The Trikylosaurus charged, but something rammed into his side.

"Ian!" Maisie exclaimed happily as Ian smiled at her.

"Come on you little baby!" The Trikylosaurus yelled as he was recovering, "Take your bottle out of your mouth and face me like a man!"

Ian growled as the two charged at each other, and the fight began…

Now I know almost everyone hates cliffhangers, but it has to be this way. The battle will continue in the next chapter. Stay tuned!
