I had to keep my guard up. It's the only way for me to stay alive. I have to keep my eyes open and be on the lookout too. That is if I want to stay alive and not get eaten. I'm like too young to be eaten. I can't outwit anything big that I would run into, they'll squish me like a bug.

I have to be very extra careful. I have to keep my eyes and ears open at the same time. That is what I am doing now. What I didn't know is that I was being spotted by a family of dinosaurs.

Not just any dinosaur, a herbivore herd, apatosaurus to be precise. I can tell that there are four members though. Not that big for a herd. It's like a little small for a herd. When I said that there's four, I mean three adult apatosaurus and one hatchling.

So that's the total of four. Yeah, but I hope that they'll never see me. That is what I am hoping for. What I hope is that they can't know about me since I think they don't know what a human is. I took a few deep breaths. I had to do it quietly though.

I took a deep sigh of relief. That was a close one. That was more like a closer one. I would be squished like a bug or something.

I hope that I won't get caught by those apatosaurus. Well I don't know what I'll do if I would be able to see what is out there. What I didn't know is that I was being watched. I had to make sure that I'll be ok.

Then I had a strange feeling in my gut that there is something behind me. I then turned around and I yelped while I jumped a bit. It was the apatosaurus family. Then the adult female longneck asked, "Who are you?" I tried to say something, but my mouth was dry.

Then the adult female longneck said, "It's okay young one, there's no need to be scared." I took a few deep breaths and exhaled. Then she asked again, "What's your name?" I then stammered, "I-I'm Aurora."

The adult female longneck then said, "That's a lovely name. Now I have a simple question to ask you, are you one of those creatures called a human?" I stepped back and said, "Yes I am. How'd you know? How did I get here in the first place?"

Then the little longneck came up to me and it said in a little boy voice, "Well one question at a time Aurora. I've heard about humans too, but I thought they're a story and we're going to somewhere called the Great Valley." When he came up to me, it was like he was the same size as me.

I can't believe this one at all. He's the same size as me for a small dinosaur hatchling like him. Then he said, "My name's Littlefoot." I then got to say, "It's nice to meet you too." Then the female longneck invited me to join me to her herd and said that it would be easy for me to stick in a group.

I took her word for it and then she said that if I ever get tired for walking too much, she would offer me a ride. That is nice of her. Littlefoot offered too. This is really nice of them. Then we were on our way to this Great Valley.

I wonder what does it look like. Then the sun was about to set and we had to stop for the night.
