I was cornered. In front of me was a centipede at least three times my size, and behind me was a manic on a Rex with a bunch of wolves, as well as a giant island filled to the brim with dinosaurs. Honesty speaking, not how I saw me spending my twenties. I expected more whores and blow. Both kinds. Maybe a steady job? Who knows. I defiantly don't because I'm in a cave with a gigantic insect! I look at the creature and try to figure out where it stands to me.

The beast is a good fifteen, maybe twenty feet long and about a foot and a half tall. The scales on this bug are a pretty cool, iridescent shininess, like how oil reflects light with heavy hints of purple and green. I couldn't see it's head as it was turned away from me, obviously not aware of where I am. It lets out a few more clicks and hisses before walking away from me. And God, the sound those legs make? Freaking terrifying. I'm lucky that thing didn't see me, or else I'd be no better off than Ol' Red. No, this thing would tear more off than just my arm. When I think I'm safe, I step out of my crevice, looking to see if there was any immediate dangers. I let out a sigh in relief, before noticing that was a huge mistake.

I hear the clicking again and look to the side. The same centipede was back, and this time very close to me. We just look at each other for several seconds before Thief hisses at it. This apparently pisses off the bug, and it hisses back. I step back and try to equip anything, but the insect lunges at me. In a panic, I open my inverntory and just throw something at it. I only got a glance at what I threw, but I could tell that it was green and stunk. Then, the unbelievable happened. It turned away from me, and went towards the thing I threw. I look at what it was and saw that it looked like meat, but rotten and spoiled. The centipede simply looks at the meat for a moment before completely devouring it, losing all interest in me. After it finishes the disgusting meat, it looks at me again, not doing anything. Still in my state of shock, I notice I was ignoring something that amazed me once I saw. The tamed dino interface was above the insect. An Anthropluera, this thing was called, level three. Low level, but it looks like a good fighter. At least can scare something pretty good.

"So, buddy," I ask the creature, "you think you can help me? There's some bad chick out there and I need to get out."

The Anthropluera clicks at the command, and looks at the cave entrance. I took that as a sign that he-... she? This thing didn't exactly show a gender. That they understood what I wanted.

I nod at the clicking. "Good bug. Let's go."

I stand up and turn around, facing the entrance. You look down at your new companion, who simply clicks at the entrance, and to your side at Thief, how chirps out loud. I breath in and start walking back out, getting yourself bathed in the bright sunlight coming through the trees. I look around and see that the Rex footprints are going away from the cave, followed by about four or five sets of canine prints. At least I'm fine for the most part right now. I look back towards the beach, feeling that may be a good place to head back towards. And I do just that. My small group and I tread through the bushes to the ocean, keeping a look out for the crazed woman, or any other dinosaurs in the area. As I think this, I look over a fallen tree and see none other than my good friends. The Dilos Greeny and Ol' Red.

Red was still without an arm, which filled me with a moment of regret. He was laying on the ground, bleeding profusely from the stub under his elbow. I look over and see that Greeny was carrying a small corpse of some kind, most likely a Dodo. It sets down the body next to the red dino and nudges it towards him, getting Ol' Red to take a hesitant bite from it. I watch him do this for a few minutes before I decide to walk away. Looking at this whole situation makes me feel kinda bad. Sure, they were trying to kill me, but what all do they know? They're just dinosaurs. Trying to survive just like I am.

I get back to tree line before the beach and look down the beach both ways. No Rex's and no wolves. Only a few Dodo's, the Trike from before, and a couple new... giant turtles? Yeah, ok, that's new. Pretty cool, though. One with a pink shell, one with a straight grey shell, and one with a kinda greenish shell. I take a few steps towards them and the pink shelled one growls at me. It's a pretty loud growl, too. It'd make a pretty good guard animal. I think I might keep these guys around for a while, in case Rexy and the maniac chick shows up again. I look behind at the forest to see if there's any signs of the threats. None from what I can see. I look down the beach and see that my little wooden hut is still standing, somehow.

I walk down the sandy ground to my makeshift house. I open the door and look around. Everything was the same pretty much. I shouldn't be so secure right now, never know when they'll show up again. Gotta keep moving, that's the trick here. I step inside and look at Patches, to be greeted by her normal caw noise. I smile down at the Dodo and walk over. I pat the bird's head and look around. I don't know why, but I feel like this won't be here long. At least, I know I won't be here long.

I whistle at the bird and turn around. I'm not going to stick around long. The maniac knows where my base is. She's sure to come back soon. That's why we're moving inland. It's literally the third worst idea I've ever, but it seems to be better than where I am now. At least out there I can hide easier. Just hope this better than that Fourth of Ju-Luau idea and getting into that shipping argument with those Homestucks. Crazy motherfuckers, that fandom. Well, I better get a move on. Goodbye wooden shack.

I step out of the house and look at the woods again. The forest still had a large path of destroyed trees in it, marking where I definitely won't be going. I look to the left to a river heading towards the inside of the island. Probably not the safest place, as it's out in the open, but it can give me a landmark to return to. My group and I walk towards the to the river and look down. A couple dinos stand around the waterway, but they all seem pretty harmless. I assume. I don't know what half the things on this island are. I never payed attention in science. Probably listed everything I'd need to survive out here. Oh well, it's somewhere to start I suppose.

The wolf pack followed the white furred leader to the mouth of the cave. Lupo had led them back to the point where Alessandra lost the new survivor. The woman rode in behind the group and jumped off the Rex. She walked up to Lupo to see that he was pointing into the cave.

"Perfect," Alessandra said, "Nobody can survive in there, especially after they just started. Anthropluera kills anything that finds their way into this hole." Alessandra laughs at this before noticing one thing. Lupo was still sniffing the ground. There was still a recent scent.

The woman leans down to the wolf. "What is it, Lupo? Is there something else?" The Dire Wolf looks up, with a slight expression of meloncholie. Alessandra was actually slightly surprised by this. Lupo only looks like this on three occasions: in presence of a her mad, in the presence of the Abomination, and when he smells an Anthropluera. "Where is the bug, Lupo?" Lupo turns around and starts running, causing the other wolves to follow. Alessandra mounts Behemoth and goes towards the beach.

The large group walks onto the beach where they first found the new man. This beach is always so calm aside from the sounds of the Ichthyornis' in the air. Alessandra always hated it. There is no excitement or dangers, aside from the occasional Dilo or Carnotaurus, but those arejust a bunch minor inconvieneces. But, these aren't what Alessandra was interested in. What she was interested in, was the two sets of foot prints in the sand. One human, one more insect like. Not just any insect, though. A centipede set of prints.

"Are. You. KIDDING ME!" Alessandra yells out into the sky. She has never seen anyone able to tame one of those creatures. The bugs don't have an inventory when they are knocked out, and no one can get close enough to passively tame them. This shows that the survivor is even more dangerous than she thought. It also shows that the survivor is better at Alessandra at something/

Alessandra thinks for a second and proceeds to have one of her near-famous tantrums.

"THIS, this... Goddamn NOBODY thinks he can come onto MY Island and be better than me! ME? Nobodies better than me! Giuro su Dio I will find this man and rip his soul out with my BARE HANDS! My wolves will tear anything this bastardo holds into pieces! There will be no threats to my power on this Island!"

While Alessandra does this, her wolves simple look on with obvious fear. These outbursts then to lead to something getting killed, hit, or tortured. Hopefully she'll take the turtles on the beach. After she finishes the tantrum, Alessandra looks down onto the beach to see a little wooden structure. Perfect for some anger management. Alessandra mounts her Behemoth charges to the building. When she arrives at house, Alessandra wastes no time at stomping, biting, and everything possible to destroy the building. After the shack has been smashed into nothing but splinters, Alessandra had finally calmed down a little bit.

Alessandra brushed off the anger sweat from her head and looked down the rest of the beach. She takes notice of the foot prints again and follows them to the river. This is the only way he could have gone. Taking from memory the layout of the Island, Alessandra can cut off the survivor by the Redwoods. With this information, Alessandra takes her wolves and Behemoth into the woods again.

Against André's wishes, Katlyn has taken her Argentavis, Plague, to see for herself the new guy. She wasn't going to help him, just like with André and Alessandra had promised, but Katlyn's just going to observe until the time they can help. Nothing wrong with that, and it totally stays in the confides of the agreement.

Katlyn flies over the Redwoods and the surrounding river. She looks down and sees that there are a pair of figures on the ground, one looking human and another one looking... what is that? It's too far for Katlyn to properly tell what the figure looks like. Against her own better judgement, Katlyn lowers herself closer to the ground where she could watch closer. Katlyn is taken by surprise to see that the creature walking behind the new survivor was an Anthropluera! Katlyn is taken in by the sight of the bug both being above ground, and not attacking anything around it.

Interested, Katlyn goes down and lands near the duo, obviously catching both of their attention. The man simply looks around in a very scared expression, while the bird on his shoulder hisses at the bird, while the Anthropluera clicks a couple of times.

I turn around at the sound of wings flapping, only to see a giant, black eagle looking bird land behind me. And on top of the bird was, surprisingly, another woman. The woman looks at my Anthropluera, who I named Oilslick because of the color, and then at me before hopping off the bird. In a moment of confused panic I instantly equip myself with a spear. The woman shows no fear from this and instead laugh at this. She keeps looking over at Oilslick, showing signs of caution before walking up to me. When she gets to a decent distance to me, she holds out her hand obviously for me to shake it.

"Cheers, sir," the strange, extremely British sounding woman says, "The name's Katlyn."

I look at the woman for a second before slowly shaking her hand, ending up with my own hand smashed by the skinny ladies surprising strength. "Uh, Greggory. Nice to meet you, I guess?"

"Damn right it is! Right now, I'm the nicest thing you'll see around here! Especially with old Alessandra after you."

"Is that what her name is?"

"Kinda tall, bunch of wolves, maybe trying to kill you. Yes sir, that's Alessandra for ya!"

The woman, Katlyn seemed a bit too... cheery for such an extreme situation.

"Yeah, well, don't forget the Rex. That's a pleasant surprise."

To this statement, Katlyn looked confused and a little worried. "Rex? When the hell did she get a Rex? Gotta give her some props there."

"I-ok, I'm really sorry, but what the hell is going on?"

"Oh boy, where to start?" The woman holds her confused look before shrugging. "Well, first thing is that you, good Greggory, are on The Island! Home of dinosaurs and creatures of a forgotten age!"

"Ok, I kinda figured that one. What about that Ale-whatever-the-hell trying to kill me?"

"Right, that is Alessandra. She's kinda the Alpha of The Island. Also, she hates new comers. Thinks they'll try to overthrow her or something."

"Huh, can you say 'paranoid' in any other words? Why would anyone want to overthrow some stupid island? Why would anyone want to rule this place?"

"I don't know, but she's kinda crazy in my opinion."

"Yeah, no shit."

"Also, she's going to be hunting you for about three days until me or my Tribe can help you."

"Three days! Why that long?"

"Hey, it's what my leader and Alessandra agreed on. Sorry about that."

"Ok, well how can I survive this insane crazy chick?"

Katlyn simply laughs again. Is this some kind of game to her? "Well... run, hide, or try to fight back. Although, fighting and running are kinda useless with her Dire Wolves."

"Ok, totally not reassuring. Any other way to survive?"

"Uhh... prove that you aren't a threat? Although, with the Anthropluera you've got there, I think you've thrown that out the window. Even she doesn't have that."

"Anthropluera? Oh, you mean Oilslick here, right?" I look down at the bug to my side, knowing she meant him.

"Oilslick? Dumb name, but ok. Yeah, if she knows you have him, she already hates you."

"Alright, but why though?"

"No one's ever been able to tame one of those things. How'd you do it?"

"Uh, I just threw some rotten meat at it, and he ate it."

Katlyn tilts her head at this statement, "Are you serious? Just like that?"

"Yeah. Scared the hell out of me, but it worked somehow."

"Alright then, I don't if I believe that or not. But, that's beyond the point. Alessandra hates you, I can't help until the end of tomorrow, and you better start running because she's by the Redwoods down there."

"I-wait, what now?" I turn around and see that Katlyn was right, as I see the woman, Alessandra, standing by the water on her Rex, joined by four wolves. I turn back around and see that Katlyn has already remounted her bird, about to take off.

"Well, if you live until tomorrow, I'll see you around." She said this and flies off, leaving me to the crazed woman and her creatures.

I look back to Alessandra and stare for a few moments. After about half a minute, she whistles and all of her Dire Wolves charge at once, lead by a very large, white one. In a second of mass fear and confusion, I whistle myself and instantly, Oilslick spits some type of green liquid at the wolves, causing them all to stop suddenly and step back from the splatter of acid. Apparently, everything on The Island is fearful of the Anthropluera-at least it's spit. In the few moments I still had, I took the advantage and rushed across the shallow river in to the giant forest. I have ran so Goddamn much today.

A/n: New update came out the other day. More stuff to work with. Nice.
