Just a few days ago, the memories still vivid in her mind, Speckles Jr. and her father, Speckles had escaped from the ocean pass and had found a den in the lush greenery surrounding them. She opened her eyes, blinking away sleep, Jr. lifted herself and as her body continued to wake up, she began to feel her hunger knawing at her. "Daddy!" Jr. squeaked as her father opened his eyes slowly, and yawning pushed himself off of the ground. Looking at him the last memories of her siblings and her mother resurfaced, but she pushed them down. No time for grieving, it only makes you weak and only the strong survive. "I'm hungry!" Jr. squeaked again.
"I know Jr." Speckles answered. "I know."
"Are you gonna hunt then?!" Jr. scolded hungrily, she wanted food and she wanted food now, as in right NOW! "All we have been doing is sleeeeeeeeping all day and all night." Jr. complained.
"Alright alright, I'll go see what I can find, you stay here where it's safe." Her father gave in, as he began to trot out of the cave sniffing, he paused and looked at her dead in the eye. "Do not leave here under any circumstance understand?" Her father said sternly. Jr. nodded, enthusiastic for food.
Jr. rolled the rock back and forth back and forth, back and forth. Uhg this is so boring, he's been gone for hooooooooours and I'm huuuuuuuuungry. She complained to herself, abandoning her rock rolling she scampered towards the entrance as she thought she heard footsteps, her hope only rose as she heard sniffing, until she herself sniffed. This was not her father. Jr. sucked in a breath as she scampered deeper into the cave, looking around for a hiding spot, her heart was racing and her breath has already quickened, she heard claws scraping just outside the entrance as she turned around, she new she only had a few seconds to hide. Jr. dived into a small dip that a bit of the wall circled around it to conceal it from the exit, she tried her best to make her breath quieter, but it was hard with her heart racing so fast she though it could fly out of her chest! She held her breathe as the tapping came closer, and closer. They sounded distinctly like footsteps, quick ones, maybe it was a small dinosaur? She crouched as the tapping got close enough that she could hear it sniffing. Uh oh I forgot about scent, oh I'm an idiot. She scolded herself, she crouched lower hoping she could make herself disappear, she tipped up her head, she stiffened as a head came around the corner, it's face to floor as it sniffed it hadn't noticed her yet. But as it started to turn around, she could no longer hold in her breathe, her lungs aching she had no choice but to exhale as quietly as she could, but as soon as she did, the creature turned around, and quick as a blink, it lunged.
