12. Chapter 11: the raptors, and the monster

Oh no.. This isn't good, here I am thinking I'm the successor to my Dino King empire when out of nowhere I stumble onto the announcement of sequel... A year ago I'd've been thrilled but now this screws with my entire timeline.. This wouldn't be nearly as bad if I weren't the only active fan fiction that exists for this... I'm not entitled to this series but I figured I was the only one left to carry this story on and I've become attached to what I've done and now I'll be buried beneath the sequel.. Unless the movie doesn't work out or exists around a different protagonist.. My only hope is to keep pumping out content and hope it catches the attention of more people.. Anyways enough about my problems. Enjoy.

Chapter 11

Perspective: Jared

The raptors, and the monster

Speckles had barely been asleep for five minutes.

I sat down fiddling with the mechanics on my gun, when suddenly a pack of raptors began chasing a small dinosaur through the opposite side of the cove.

One stopped and looked at Speckles hungrily.

I drew my energy pistol and fired a bolt of plasma into the ground in front of it.

It shrieked and darted away.

Let's follow them. Speckles said suddenly.

You're the boss big guy. I said putting my pistol away.

We crawled into the brush, quietly watching the raptors.

I tilted my head, something was happening, the dinosaur they had been chasing wasn't moving, it was stuck.

What's happening? Speckles asked curiously.

I finally realized that it was stuck in a tar pit.

A raptor dove onto the dinosaur, killing it swiftly.

I watched as the raptor was consequently swallowed up by the mud.

A monster? Living underneath? He speculated.

Well it's actually... I stopped myself.

Knowing Speckles, I knew he'd get adventurous if he knew there wasn't actually a monster.

What? Speckles asked.

Uhh, nothing. Just be careful around that thing. I said.

Okay.

We sat back down at the cove and Speckles curled up sleepily.

I lied down next to him.

I fell asleep after I knew he was safe, pistol in hand.

Alright thank you guys so much for reading I hope I can find a solution to this.. Let me know what you think of the story so far, if you liked it please share it with your friends or family. And as always I will see you (hopefully) for chapter 12
