Chapter 5

Danny rose so that he could look the monster in the eye. The t-rex rushed at him with open, hungry jaws. Danny dodged. Another attempt at the halfa and another miss. But the predator was persistent. It continued to try and eat him.

Danny was beginning to get worried with this game of keep-away, the beast's crushing talons could hurt Sam or Tucker on the ground. Danny, tired of the rain hitting him and the mud weighing him down, went intangible and let all of it fall through (and away from) him.

He raised his hand and it started to glow a deadly green. The boy winced, knowing Sam was going to give him a hard time later for what he was about to do. He shot.

The dinosaur fell to the ground with a neck that could rival Nearly-headless Nick's. Suddenly a pang of hunger hit Danny. He flew to the fallen brute and took out his buck knife. He cut out enough squares of meat to fill his backpack and took to the sky once again.

He searched left and right. 'For once, Sam, couldn't you have worn pink? I can't see black in this mess' scolded Danny in his mind. Then, probably because he was thinking of the color, Danny saw pink somewhere near the base of the woods. He also saw something black and flesh colored over it. Both figures were covered in mud. He quickly made his way to the sight.

He saw that it was Sam, and a small bird-like dinosaur. He landed next to them.

"Are you okay?" he asked, now that the rain could not choke him. Sam nodded. "What are you holding?" protectively, she bent over the dinosaur more. Danny bent down and lifted Sam, one arm behind her waist and another under her knees. She let him, with her arms around the pink creature. Danny could now see that it was a Microraptor.

The three went into the air. Having punished them enough, the clouds stopped dropping their rain and started to part, revealing the sun once more. Danny made the group intangible so the remaining water and mud from Sam and the dinosaur. He could see Tucker in a tree below. He lowered Sam onto the ground and he landed also. Two rings formed around his waist and separated, making him human again. Tucker jumped out of the tree.

"You guys okay?" he asked and Danny and Sam nodded to him.

"Sam, why are you holding that Microraptor?" Danny wondered.

"I was protecting it."

"Let it go."

"Okay," she said and relunclently let it go and the dinosaur climbed a tree and jumped, like a monkey, from branch to branch.

Danny took of his backpack. "I know you're going to kill me for this, but…" he opened the flap to show the meat he had taken before.

"Sweet!" said Tucker at the very same time Sam said "Danny!"

"Sorry Sam, but we need the protein. You do too, but there's nothing I could say to get you to join us."

Sam ignored them as they started a fire and cooked all the meat so it wouldn't go bad as fast. They ate as much as they could, with Danny saving some for Sam in case she would want any.

Okay, that was bad. Oh, well. REVIEW! And I don't care if it's flames, I know I deserve them. And I need some ideas for the next chapter. I know what happens in chapter 7, but I'm stuck in 6.
