Chapter One: Night.

The female rex, nicknamed Azule, paced the sandy shore, sand crackling under her clawed feet. She clutched a large, cream-colored egg in her short arms, gently running her claws down its spotted side. The moon reflected off of its shell as a small crack broke the side Azule had been stroking. A slight smile glanced at the edge of her mouth, but only for a moment as an arrow pierced the scales of her leg. She roared and whipped around, holding her egg tighter. Six humans stood in the bushes, two clutching rifles and four gripping bows. At once, four arrows fired at her and she ducked under two, but the rest dug into the sensitive skin on her face. She stomped to a cliff and placed her cracking egg gently into a deep hole. "I love you." She whispered, as a tranquilizer hit her tail. She turned to face the humans, and an enormous net flew at her. Before she could react, it caught her, and she hit the sand. She immediately began to bite the ropes, but something large and heavy struck her face, and she went limp.

The humans dragged away the limp Rex with help from a Spinosaurus, and the egg finally hatched. A white rex, spotted with black, rolled out from the cave-like hole. "Mama?" She whispered, her rosy, pale eyes glanced around the sandy clearing, and she began to shake. "Mama...I cold..." she crawled into the cave again and squeaked pitifully.

"Hey kid, you alright?" The rosy-eyed hatchling blinked open her sleepy eyes to see a small, raptor-like dinosaur standing at the entrance, looking worriedly at her. Another one stood beside him. "Mama?" "I'm..Not your mama, dear." The compy stepped into the cave slowly and lay beside the rex, his friend doing the same. "Um..Come with us." They stood slowly. "And...What is your name?" "What's...Name?" The compy paused. "I'll call you...Rose." A much larger dinosaur, accompanied by a winged one, emerged from the water. "Hey Citru-" The crocodilian dinosaur paused, looking at Rose. "Who's..Who's this little girly?" "Rose. We just found her." Rose stepped a tiny bit backwards. "Could you guys help us?" "Uh...Sure!" The crocodile and Arch both said. All of them clambered onto the back of the crocodile, who set out to sea. "We'll find your mama. Don't worry."
