The Dark Spino: Part one.

The water ran down the river, splashing against the rocky walls. A webbed fin cleaved through the surface of the water, followed closely by a jet-black snout. The dinosaur lifted its nose, tasting the air, before it curled its lips back and growled, diving under the water again. Its tail emerged from the waves and slapped the water, dipping down. A dark shadow swam through the water.

A human walked along the cliff, dragging the limp corpse of a small bird behind him. His name is Michael. He looked down and saw the shadow crossing the water, then followed it with his eyes as a bird dipped from the top of the cliff and dove to catch a fish. A wet, dark snout cleaved the water, snapping the bird in its bright white teeth before the snout disappeared once more. Michael looked away and whistled. As if on cue, a large bird dove from the top of a tree and landed in front of Michael, who let go of the corpse he was carrying to allow the bird to pick it up in its sharp talons. "Bring it to our house." He said, petting the bird gently behind one of its eyes. The bird purred before it flew off tightly gripping the corpse. Michael watched as his pet dove into the canyon near the waiting shadow. The shadow's snout broke the water, grabbing the bird in its sharp teeth. It screeched, struggling to fly away as Michael screamed and dropped down, but it was unsuccessful. The dinosaur dragged it under the water, and with a final screech, the bird went limp. "No! Ginger..." Michael started to cry as he stood up and picked up a rock, throwing it at the shadow that had killed his bird. The rock splashed far from the shadow. Michael cursed, then started to walk away. He would get revenge...
