Chapter 11

The next day Abby, Connor and Nicholas were on their way back from a fish run when they heard a commotion going on, so they went to investigate and found a Pteranodon being chased by their old friend Bart the Spinosaurus who was obviously on the attack.

"Bart, long time no see"

"Abby, are you sure that's Bart?"

"Yeah, he's got that scar on his front left leg"

"Oh I see now"

"So how do you wanna do this Conn?" asks Abby.

"Oh no, you have Nicky, you stay put"

"Face it, you're gonna need me"

"Fine, do you wanna do the distracting and chasing away or the calming Pterano-down"

"You think you're so funny don't you?"

"I am so funny"

"I'll do the distracting, I'm carrying an extra morsel after all"

"Okay, plan 4"

"You got it"

Abby then stalks round the clearing and gets the attention of the Spinosaurus before leading it away. When they are out of the clearing Connor goes up the Pteranodon trying to convey an aura of calmness and sees that the creature Bart was chasing was the Pteranodon he had returned to its mother several months ago.

"Oh it's you again, let me take a look at you"

Walking around the animal he sees only minor injuries.

"It's nothing serious, you're just all hyped up, you will be fine, I promise"

Connor then begins to make his way out of the clearing but notices that the creature is following him.

"No, you can't follow me, you have to stay here"

Obviously not able to understand him the creature walks forward and looks at Connor not making a sound.

"Come on then, follow me"

Ten minutes later Connor walked into the clearing with the creature to see Abby and Nicky stood outside the hut.

"Connor, why is the Pteranodon following you?"

"It's the same one Abby, the same animal that I rescued and who we saw a few months ago, it keeps following me and I'm not gonna make it leave if it's feeling lonely"

"Okay, but it doesn't come inside the hut"

"Sure, it'll act as our guard dog"

"First things first, it's gonna need a name, we can't keep calling it an it"

"Well I'm not sure whether it's a boy or a girl, so how about a gender neutral name like Sam or Robin"

"How about Kim?" suggests Abby

"I like it, Kim it is, hi Kim, how ya doing? Why don't you go and rest and I'll see you in a bit"

Kim then walks a little away from the hut and sits down to go to sleep before Abby, Connor and Nicky go inside.
