I am so bad at making new habits... Last chapter was a rather emotional chapter so I thought I'd take a break and let you guys calm down... I'm not very good at making excuses either... Actually I'm great at making excuses I just wanted to crack that joke... I'm not very good at cracking jokes either...ENJOY!

Chapter 10

Perspective: Speckles

Alone, for now

I clambered quietly out of the small burrow I'd found in the ground, and shakily made my way towards the river for a drink.

I took a sip and began gulping down water as quickly as I could, not having drank in a couple days.

A microraptor flew above me and landed on the branch, scaring me half to death.

"I used to be fierce and ambitious. But look at me now, I'm the biggest coward." I thought to myself.

I moaned sadly as I thought of how lonely I was, everyone I knew was dead, and I ran away from my last friend in a fit of grief. I knew that he couldn't possibly still be looking for me, it had been over a month. Now I was all alone, it would probably cost me my life.

I looked up as a massive pterosaur flew above my head, I watched as it glided towards its nest. I thought to myself, already craving an egg.

I made my way towards the nest, I sprinted for it and ravenously tore into an egg. I had eaten two entire eggs before I saw the angry mom looking at me.

I bolted away, fearing for my life.

I stumbled desperately as its talons closed in.

Just when I knew it was all over, Jared slammed into the massive predator, its talons grazed my back and knocked me into a crevice. I continued running as the pterosaur threw Jared off her back and continued pursuing me.

I dove into the water as it reached for me once more, Jared again dove onto it, and was thrown off once again. He slammed his fingers into the ceiling of the underside of the small rock bridge.

"I'm okay!" I shouted.

Jared gave a sigh of relief.

He dropped in and helped me ashore.

We sat down in the cove.

I looked at him, sobbing quietly, he grabbed me and hugged me.

"I'm so sorry bud." He said to me.

"I'm just glad I'm not alone anymore." I said.

He looked at me seriously.

"Speckles, I promise you that no matter what happens, I will never let you experience something like that ever again."

"Thank you." I said hugging him again.

"Now you should get some rest, I'll keep watch."

I yawned and for the first time in a month, I fell into a relaxing sleep.

Okay so that was adorable huh? Probably not, so as always thank you guys so much for reading! Let me know what you think in the reviews, and I will see you (hopefully) for chapter 11! WAIT! Thought of a great excuse, this takes place one month after the last chapter so I thought I'd make it realistic :D... I'm sorry.
