Chapter 2 : "Sharp Teeths"
As time passed by, I could hear that giant creature drink. For a moment I thought I could sneak out and run away. But then out of nowhere, other one came down, nearly spotting me in bushes. As I laid there hoping they won't see me I looked closer to see that they were Giganotosauruses. I was surprised that my bright blue crest and tail did not got spotted. They were the only things that made me easy to notice in the neutral colored nature, because my back is dark black and my underbelly is a natural white. These colours are quite good at hiding me into the flourishing, but shadowy place under the large trees of the forest. Just as long as my blue crest and tail keep out of sight. When I started to back away further into my hiding spot under the rock I saw how the younger one was clearly scared and tense when he approached the other, older male, who's large self was whole ebony black scales but he had bright red stripes going across his upper jaw his back and on his tail. He looked frightening. No wonder the younger one was trying his best to not show how badly his smaller body was trembling. Somehow I knew if I tried to run, that plan won't end up too well for me. As I was thinking what to do next, the larger dinosaurs started to converse.
"Hey, do you smell that Kalash?" asked the younger giga.
"What is it?" replied, so called Kalash, as he moved closer to his younger companion that moved away as Kalash moved closer to the scent. His deep gnarly tone sent shivers down my spine. Kalash inhaled deeply through his nostrils. I knew he noticed my scent, and that sooner or later they will find me. So I decided to stay in between the rocks and prayed that they won't get in. I hoped they'd get bored of waiting for me to crawl out to my certain death.
As I was imagining the pain of sharp teeth burying themselves into my flesh, the younger giga that was already searching, that I did not think to pay any attention to, halted right next to my hiding spot and sniffed the bushes I was in few minutes before. The leaves of the green bush fluttered with the air.
"I've found fresh scent here Kalash"
My heart dropped down in my chest as I started to be more and more scared for my life, as Kalash moved towards the younger giga and stood right infront of my hiding spot. His claws were the size of my face. "That smells like young allosaurus" the younger giga spoke up.
My small lungs started pleading oxygen when I forgot to breathe, as the large carnivores started to move around, with every heavy step, they came closer and closer to my hiding spot.
I closed my eyes and backed against the stone behind me. The cave was too small. I was going to die.
Unfortunately I didn't notice I was panting in fear really loudly.
As footsteps stopped just outside my hideing spot I heard a voice calling towards me.
"Well well well ! What do we have here!?" Growled Kalash.
"You found it Kalash?!" sayed younger giga, excited.
"Yes, it's hidden under these rocks" he replied with a mocking laugh.
"Leave me alone ! I beg you" I started crying out of the suffocating fear.
"Hahahahahaha ! Why would i ?! You look tasty!" Kalash said, amused.
I continued to cry and wished I could just escape and run towards the end of the world.
"I dont want to die !" I screamed as my voice broke to a sob.
"Who said you will die?" questioned Kalash smiling with an evil glow in his eyes. The smile revealed his sharp teeth which made me press myself even harder to the wall behind me.
"Ahhh I love it when they are afraid" sayed Kalash with spilling satisfactory.
That made me look at him again, as his evil smile still made his teeth mark the sight into my mind.
"Why are you doing this to me?" I asked with a small voice, I didn't even know if he could hear.
"You will see" he replied with a small laugh, pulling his head out of the rocks I made my sanctuary.
As I slowly started to process what just happend, I opened my mouth to speak, unsure.
"What do you mean by 'I will see' ?"
"I mean that you can leave" Kalash replied with a bored sigh.
"But I dont trust you! I just lost my whole family! We got ambushed by rexes and I'm not going to trust a stranger. Especially an apex predator one" I barked trying to sound as brave as I could.
"Well if you say so. We are leaving anyway so stay there if you want to."
They truly started to move away. After a while the footsteps faded away into the distance.
When I felt safe again I slowly peeked my head out of my hiding spot.
"They are gone" I talked to myself, baffled as I slowly crawled out.
"Okay let's drink and get out of here before they come back" I thought out loud to calm myself and to try to form some kind of a plan.
After I drank some water out of a small pond filled to the brim with cold, fresh water, I started climbing the side of a quarry I fell into in the morning. Sun was already high in the sky and clouds started to gather.
The weather told me it was going to rain. I kept climbing.
When I reached the top, groggy after a hard climb, I laid down, exhausted, to catch my breath. As I did so I heard a voice behid me that made me jump.
"I see you have finally got out. I thought it would take you a bit more time. You surprised me." uttered a familiar voice.
I turned around to see Kalash and his companion laying by the trees close by.
How did I not notice them? I began to back away and falling down on the hard ground after hitting rock. By then I knew this was the end for me. I wouldn't be able to get up and run in time.
"I failed you mom. I'm so sorry" I whispered to myself in my head as I crumbled in a ball and started crying. The fear of death crept it's way on my skin.
"Oh come one little one don't make a scene" Kalash growled, annoyed, when he saw what I was doing.
I gathered my tears and stopped crying and tried my best to stand up.
"Here, was it that hard?" He snorted.
I kept quiet, too afraid to speak.
"Now go before I change my mind" Growled Kalash.
When I the scentance made it's way into my ears, I started to move away from them, not long until I was running into the dense forest blindly.
When I finally ran out of adrenaline I collapsed to the ground beneath me as I desperately gasped for air.
Before me was great meadow with a big lake with rivers meeting it, and small areas of woods around it. I was astonished by the view. I decided to make this peaceful place my home.
As days went by I started to score more and more kills. I was starting to think this was a place for me to stay in.
But then came the feared dry season and with it more and more dinosaurs made their way to this big water source. Yet I never saw those two gigas at the water.
After some time, the lake was crowded by more and more predators looking for easy pray. I abandoned the meadow I dreamt of staying in and started to look for a safer watersource.
I was an adolescent at the time, so longer travels weren't an issue for me.
After two days of continuous walking I heard a current of water. With a dried up mouth and a thirst I had never experienced before, I ran towards the sound.
As I ran I failed to see rocks standing out of the ground. My foot made contact with the piece of earth, and made me fall down a steep hill. The force of the fall was enough to make me fall unconsious.
