"Bibbly?" I asked the concern clear in my voice, still no reply, I started to panic. "MOMA, POPA" I screeched loudly, of course I didn't know moma was still out hunting but popa quickly rushed over, Vut close behind him. "What's wrong with her? Popa? Is she okay? Is she breathing? Is she alive?" All the questions I wanted to ask came to me in a flash, asking them out loud without even realizing. My only thought was…
I knew she was dead. Vut looked at me, pain in his eyes like he knew this was coming. Tears welled in my eyes as I looked at Bibbly I knew it, I felt it, the surging grief and fear quickly coming and going as I try to reassure myself she's just sleeping or she's playing, but when I look at her, her eyes white as the moon, her mouth spread open as if she was yawning, but what stung most of all… she was still cuddled in the nest, her tail wrapping her body but the warmth didn't stay, it left her, letting her dead body become cold. "Young ones, Its sad but.. It's the way it must be, although we wish she could of stayed with us, the spirits called her and she came. She had a peaceful death." Popa said calmly or at least tried to, But we both heard his voice cracking in pain and grief. Then he raised his head and let out a long saddened roar the usual low pitched noise mixed with the sadness of tears and distress. A little while later Moma got back quickly but she carried no food, "What's going on? I heard the distress call and…." She stopped as soon as her eyes drifted too Bibbly, she gasped and looked down, closing her eyes. Until a new sounding roar, one me and Vut weren't familiar with, A high pitched then low pitched gliding through the air, but Vut sniffed the air and suddnly stiffend and I sniffed it after him curious of what made him afraid, an unfamiliar scent drifted into my nose. tickling my nostrils with curiosity and drifted back out when I exhaled. Moma and Popa however weren't so curious they grabbed us by our soft extra tissued necks and silently and smoothly, placing each foot with delicate care, left the nest and they were just in time, as soon as we left I saw a glimpse of something huge with glowing brownish-orange colored eyes, glistening teeth and sharp clawed long arms.
I heard moma whisper to popa "It's an Allosaurus, full adult and male..." She paused as the creature lifted it head as if it heard, then continued to the nest and began to eat our dead sibling. "We have to go now" Popa nodded in agreement when mom finished her sentence, and we continued still quiet, moving slowly as to not disturb anything until we were far enough away then we started quickly trotting. Though I didn't know where we would go now from the look on moma and popa's faces, they clearly didn't know either. It was until we heard a bunch of Allosaurus calls that we started to run though they didn't go full pace as they didn't want to fling us around too much but when they heard footsteps behind them they really began running, and we ran for what seemed like years maybe even centuries and as day began to dawn we were very far from home and in a new unexplored territory. We stopped to get a drink, then I froze our parents told us to huddle close and stick to the ground as we heard medium pitched quick barks. I was about to ask Vut what they were when Vut said " Utahraptors, quick, smart and hunt in packs, dangerous for hatchlings and together can bring down prey 10 times their size."
Though now I wish Vut hadn't told me because now I am even more afraid than I was before. When I looked up several moments later the barking stopped and I saw about a thousand figures up on the hill which I pieced together to be the Utahraptors, suddenly my head jerked towards a bush which a rustling noise came from, curiosity and fear fought inside of me, I continued to stare at the bush when a small figure, looking exactly like the Utahraptors on the cliff, jumped out and ran towards us, I panicked bumping into Vut who remained quiet but looked at me with annoyance until he saw what I was trying to back away from. When 5 more came running out I let out a panicked squeak and my parents turned around then it was all a blur I felt a strong force lifting me into the air then fear pricked me when I felt air rushing around me then I hit the ground, knocking the breath out of me.
When I regained myself and my vision cleared I looked around I was in a patch of grass, tall grass, hidden from the comotion and I glanced around trying to spot the dark shade of grayish brown of Vut's scales but he was nowhere to be found and I saw my parents trying to fight the Utahraptors off. But they were coming in waves, once one wave was injured it retreated and was replaced by a pack of fresh ones our parents didn't stand a chance against such a strategy and they were already tired from the long run to get here. Feinia, or as we call her moma, suddenly roared loudly and stomped her feet replenished by a new found strength and then too my surprize picked up Vut and ran, leaving popa alone to fight them off and leaving me behind, but then to my astonishment instead of picking off moma they went for popa, I was deeply confused, moma would never abandon popa would she? N-no she must just have to hide Vut away then come help... But Popa was being overwhelmed by the Utahraptors, some jumped on his back while some ran by sneaking in a nip or a scratch, some jumped and latched on to his face trying to scrounge out his eyes. slashing him with their sharp claws while digging their feet into him and biting him. Popa fought but he was out numbered and with so many opponents attacking at the same time he had no chance. 'No I can't think like that, he WILL survive.' I shook my head trying to rid myself of the negative thoughts. Turning my head around to where Moma had escaped but she was far gone yet her scent trail drifted to my nose, I knew I needed to follow her before I lost her but watching popa fight the Utahraptors glued me to the ground...
