Aberrant deinonychus

Chapter ten

I shot up an the shrill sound. So did everyone else. I was the first one to move, slowly creeping towards the den entrance. I poked my head outside to look for the source of the sound. And then I saw it. It was a large, bipedal creature, with a strange looking fin on its head. It’s look was overall bizarre and hard to describe. Leo walked up next to me, and I could practically hear his heart sink as he said “Oh no.”

“What’s wrong. What is that?” I said.

“It’s called….” He paused before saying

“A Reaper Queen.”

I open my mouth to say something, but before I could, it’s head snapped toward us. It let out a shrill shriek, and about four hairless humanoid things rose from the ground.

“What in the name of the Overseer are those!” Carter yelled from inside the den.

“Well, they kind of don’t have a name. Dinos in Aberration call them…nameless.” Leo said. Before another word was spoken, the group of now around fifteen Nameless charged at us.

“Ripper you and me are gonna go slow them down! Carter, you pick ‘em off with your rifle! Berry, use your light to protect him from the Nameless!” Leo commanded. We all nodded unanimously. I ran down the slope to the charging name Nameless. I leapt onto one, slashing its throat with my sickle claw. I saw Leo headbut one onto the spike walls. A shot from Carter’s rifle went right through the head of one Nameless and into the chest of another. But no matter how many we killed, The Reaper Queen would just summon more. And than, I heard one of the worst things I probably could have heard.

“I’m out,” Carter yelled.

My heart sunk. Without another word, I ran back and stood in front of Berry and Carter.

“GET ON” I yelled at them.

With saying anything, Carter picked up Berry and hopped on. I ran at the spike wall, placing my foot on the support beam in-between the spikes. I propelled myself forward on the head of a Nameless, forcing its head into one of the spikes. I landed behind the small army of Nameless and called out Leo’s name. He nodded, jumped into the air and glided down next to us. And than, we ran.
