The redwood Allo

Chapter six

The carno charged right into the den, ramming into an Allo who fell onto a sharp rock, which went right through his neck. Snap leaped up in a panic and quickly tore out the carnos throat. Three more charged in, all swarming snap. In seconds, they tore him apart, his blood splattered the walls of the den. Filed with rage, I charged at the carnos. I pinned one to the ground with my foot, than I used my tail to smack one into a giant stone spike near the cave entrance, the spike going right through his eyes. Sylvia then tore into the side of the one next to me, staining her black scales red. I crushed the neck of the one under my foot. But than, seven more carnos charged into the cave. I ran back to the nest area. Than, I herd my father yell

“CHOMP, GRAB AN EGG AND RUN.”

“I CANT JUST RUN AWAY,” I yelled back at him.

“THAT WAS AN ORDER CHOMP.”

Before I could respond, a subadult carno bit into my left thigh. I roared in pain before crushing it’s head between the ground and my foot. I turned to the nearest nest and grabbed an egg in my mouth. Then, I turned and ran out of the den. I ran into the redwoods. I heard the roars of my friends and family behind me, but I just kept running, tears streaming down my face. I ran all the way into the night. Then, I found a shallow cave, no more than ten feat underground. I carefully placed the egg on a patch of foliage, and than curled up around it. No matter what, this egg would not get hurt. Not as long as I was alive.
