INSTINCT
DANGER UNLEASHED
"…Instinct."
---------------------------------------------
It took a while, but Littlefoot found Rex on a cliff around the mountains surrounding the valley. Littlefoot tried to make Rex feel better…but nothing got better. Rex stayed on that cliff the whole day…
= = = =THAT NIGHT= = = =
Rex was sitting on top of a cliff near a nest he made for himself, staring at the Great Valley.
Littlefoot appeared behind him and dropped a bunch of tree stars on the floor.
"I brought some tree stars."
Littlefoot told the sad dinosaur.
Rex turned to face Littlefoot. Littlefoot sat next to him.
"It wasn't that bad. They didn't punish you that bad."
Rex sighed, then said in a sad tone,
"Everyone hates me now."
"They don't hate you, your instincts took over, and that's normal…Maybe we should've left for home earlier…"
Rex bowed his head,
"…I'm a killer."
"You're not a killer. It's just; that's what you do with that instinct, you can't help it now."
That made Rex feel worse; he groaned as he dropped his head on the pile of tree stars and didn't rise up.
Littlefoot sighed.
"Tomorrow I and my friends will help you."
= = = =THE NEXT DAY= = = =
The parents told their kids to stay away from Rex, they promised their parents but had their legs crossed behind their backs.
Rex was looking at the waterfall.
"Here Rex."
Rex turned back to see Littlefoot and the others giving him a pile of green food.
"If you want to go back in eating green food instead of meat, you gotta eat green food only."
Littlefoot said.
"We'll be other there eating our green food."
Cera said.
They went to the trees in the distance within range of Rex's eyesight.
Somehow, Rex's desire of eating green food has completely disappeared. He started eating the leaves but even though hungry, he didn't felt like eating, he stood up and looked at his friends.
"What's wrong?"
Littlefoot asked him.
Rex was hungry but not for green food…for meat. He realized his situation and he closed his eyes and shook his head away from his friends.
"Oh nothing."
"You not hungry are you?"
Petrie asked him.
"No, of course not."
Rex replied.
"Um…Maybe we should go?"
Cera asked nervously.
Littlefoot just looked at Cera and turned to Rex.
"I'm…I'm just going to walk around…See ya guys later."
With that said Rex walked deeper into the valley away from his friends alone.
"That's what I'm afraid of."
Littlefoot mumbled to himself.
= = = =ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE VALLEY= = = =
Rex was walking around under the shades of the trees; he reached a cliff and noticed a small herd of duck-bills. Rex was hungry, but he didn't want to kill anyone else. The hunger got to him, he could feel his wild instinct taking over, but he tried to hold it. He tried hard to control it…But it was futile. His eyes deepened, he flexed his claw and gave a big roar.
Everyone heard the roar, including Littlefoot, Cera, Spike, Petrie and Ducky; everyone knew very fast the situation. They ran as fast as they could to the scene, including Littlefoot, Cera, Spike, Petrie and Ducky.
The herd reached the place; everyone gasped to the scene lying in front of them, a duck-bill was lying on the floor wounded but alive, small but wide cut on her belly.
"It's everyone okay?!"
A duck-bill asked as they rose up from the water.
The wounded duck-bill got up halfway, she'll live, but a scar will remain.
"I'm…ok."
The wounded duck-bill said in a pain-filled voice.
"I saw the whole thing! It was horrible, this sharptooth of the same color as the big water suddenly came out of nowhere and attacked her!"
A duck-bill explained.
Littlefoot, Cera, Spike, Petrie and Ducky gasped.
"Again longneck, again."
Cera's father said, turning to Littlefoot's grandpa.
"I'm so sorry about this…"
"Sorry?!?!"
Cera's father shouted, interrupting the longneck
"This duck-bill got lucky but let's not forget the one yesterday. He's going too far!"
"He can't help it. It's his instincts, and I can't leave him in the Mysterious Beyond!"
They both kept arguing. Littlefoot and his friends walked out from the scene into a clearing.
"This is horrible!"
Littlefoot cried,
"We have to do something."
"Forget it Littlefoot!"
Cera cried,
"I know we should help him but he's going wild and dangerous."
"Cera right Littlefoot, it might be too late to help him now."
Petrie said.
"I don't care; I'm going to help him, even if it kills me."
With that, Littlefoot walked away. Then, he overheard the duckbill herd saying that Rex flew toward the Mysterious Beyond. Littlefoot now knows where to look for him. He ran back to his friends.
"Guys, I heard Rex flew to the Mysterious Beyond."
Littlefoot announced.
Cera, Ducky, Petrie and Spike gasped when they heard.
"Why would he want to go there?"
Ducky asked,
"I don't understand, no no no."
She announced while shaking her head.
"I don't know either, but I'm going after him."
With that, Littlefoot ran toward the mountains surrounding the valley.
"Wait Littlefoot!"
Littlefoot turned to see his friends running after him.
"Don't try and stop me."
Littlefoot said.
"We're not going to stop you Littlefoot."
Cera said.
Then she grinned,
"You're just not going alone."
TO BE CONTINUE…

"Here is the next phase."
"Rex has escaped into the Great Valley."
"Littlefoot is determined to get him back."
"A new breeze welcomes the beginning of a new journey."
