A Twisted Tail

Book 1 Part 2

Their father was wrestling with a snake, it was covered in blood. With one last blow Rusty killed the snake then looked up at his children. Rusty started to run toward his children. A sarco burst out of the water grabbing Rusty, dragging him down into the water. “Run!” Rusty shouted before his head went under. Flame stared, horrified. Lynx grabbed Flame by the scruff and thrust him in front of her, Flame started to run. Lynx caught up with Flame and led him the rest of the way out of the swamp, and through an unknown forest. The ground started to shake, Lynx and Flame stopped as trees fell down around them. It was huge. It wasn’t a Rex. It was so much bigger, it was a giga. The giga roared, revealing a human on its back. Flame turned to run, then Lynx, but she was too late. The giga stepped forward and grabbed Lynx with its huge jaws, she screeched, Flame kept running. The giga snapped down its jaws, splitting Lynx in half, her body fell to the ground. Flame didn’t stop, he didn’t even turn around, he kept going, he wanted to survive.

Flame wasn’t sure what to do anymore. The humans had taken over the whole island. The island was infested with humans, few animals and plants remained. The rest of his family had died long ago, when it first started. Flame tried to make a new family, he tried to keep going, but then it happened again. Flame and his mate had sheltered in a small cave, where there were spiders, snakes, scorpions, and more. The creatures in the cave had allowed them to stay one night in the cave, as the humans had not accessed it yet. The only thing the creatures had wanted in exchange was some meat, so Flame had gone out and managed to find a brontosaurus; they were rare and nearly extinct nowadays.
