The dinosaur peered curiously at the strange creature underneath it. Somewhere in the recesses of its tiny mind the creature found words to describe it. Human. Boy. Teenager. Ugh…Teenagers, if it remembered correctly, were a very troublesome part of the species. But they tasted good. This one seemed different though…
The dinosaur’s specimen was a human. It was a boy. And it was a teenager. However, there was something different about him. But the dino just couldn’t place it. Was it his hair? No, he had feathery blond hair, a style the dino had seen in some of it’s other victims. It was partially covered by a black box-like hat. Height? He was unusually skinny, and a bit taller than average, but not anything major there. Oh, maybe it was the eyes? No, that couldn’t be it. The boy had very bright green eyes, almost like a cat and the color of a bright leaf or the scales of the most beautiful dinos in his tribe. Thee expression in the eyes was strange though – or maybe it was lack of expression; the boy wasn’t scared. Odd. It must be the clothes! Wait, no, it wasn’t the clothes. The boy was wearing black jeans and a sleeveless shirt handcrafted and pressed from reeds. It was dyed gray. Aha. The dino’s puzzlement was over. It was his ears. They were pointed and tufted, furry, and soft, and the same color as his hair. The boy had cat ears.
Filled with a sense of accomplishment at his extraordinary discovery, which he considered the most amazing since the invention of sliced bread, the dino smiled, displaying rows and rows of teeth.
The boy in question looked uneasily up at the scaly creature standing over him. It seemed to be grinning. This was strange, as its species usually didn’t have enough brain cells to accomplish a feat such as this. (As it happened, this particular lizard was considered a genius in its tribe.) The smile seemed…hungry, and becoming a snack was not on the boy’s list of things to do. But that was exactly what was going to happen if he didn’t do something soon. At least he thought so. For one thing, it were drooling all over him as if he it smelled something delicious. Maybe it was just dumb. Probably both. Whatever the case, the sticky, oozing substance all over his shirt was really grossing him out. It smelled.
He had never liked dinosaurs.
“Oh well…” he sighed, “guess I have to fight you. What a pain.” Upon hearing the boy speak, the dinosaur blinked. This was all the boy needed. He rolled away, and suddenly two flashing daggers were in his hands. He now had a cocky look on his face. He was ready for anything.
Unfortunately, so was the dinosaur. In an instant, something was crunching in the dino’s mouth, and the boy’s hands had a noticeable lack of flashing daggers.
“Oh.” he said. “Crap. This really freaking sucks. Daggers eaten, and I’m probably gonna be the main course.” He looked around for sticks in the clearing where he had made his home. Of course there were none.
The boy didn’t have any weapons, and he wasn’t particularly interested in becoming food, so he did the only thing he could.
He ran.
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Now, the dinosaur was not really a dinosaur. It was just a dumb overgrown lizard. But this dumb overgrown lizard knew that if he couldn’t catch his prey, he couldn’t eat it. Which would be bad. He was hungry. And with hunger being the only thought in his mind, he gave chase to the boy. Filled with the glee of the hunt, he laughed. Well, he tried to laugh. And a dinosaur trying to laugh is basically the same as a dinosaur roaring. Which was really, really bad for the boy.
When the boy heard the fearsome cry coming from behind, he tripped and fell. When the boy tripped, he screamed. Normally, just tripping would not make the boy scream, even when being chased by a dinosaur. But he had broken his ribs when he fell. Badly. It felt like they had punctured his lungs.
He could feel the world closing in on him; he was being sucked into a void, why did it hurt so bad, why? He was gonna die. He was gonna die. He was gonna die… so tired.
As he blacked out, the last thing he saw was a bright white cat-like creature leaping towards the charging dinosaur…
So tired…
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Darkness. That was all there was. Only darkness. Nothing else. Why!? he cried out. Nothing came out of his mouth. He was screaming inside his own head, begging for release from his prison. Why!? he screamed again. I hate the darkness. Why do you torture me with it? Silence. Darkness. A voice finally answered back. “Because your destiny lies in the light.”
He woke up gasping. It was just before dawn, and nothing moved save the early waking birds. And the glowing pair of bright, multicolored eyes staring straight at him. The eyes penetrated him, looked at his soul and coldly evaluated its worth. They shifted from red, to blue, to all colors he knew of, and many he didn’t. They were searching. He fell back into sleep.
A bird’s cry shattered the early morning, and with it came the rising of the sun. The boy awoke again. His first thought was that he was hungry. His second thought was that he had no idea where he was. He looked around him. There were a lot of leaves. Maybe he was in a bush? He looked down.
Bad idea.
He was in a tree. A freaking tree. Dizzy with the vertigo that was slowly overcoming him, the boy tipped off of what he now realized was a narrow branch. And was promptly scooped back onto the limb he had been lying on. By a paw. No… paw was not the correct word for it. It was a claw.
The boy felt a sharp pain as the claw dug through his makeshift shirt.
“Aaargh… freaking claws in my freaking back and I’m in a freaking tree.”
A voice spoke in his ear. It was velvety and soft, with the hint of a purr hidden in it. It was also sarcastic. “Sorry… I forgot you humans are so soft.”
Now thoroughly freaked out, the boy started panicking. “Let me go!” he screamed. He was suddenly dangling in the air again.
“Are you absolutely sure you want me to let you go? It’s a long way down you know.” There was a small amount of amusement in the voice now. The boy looked down. Then he wished he hadn’t. He couldn’t even see the ground for the leaves and the mist.
“Actually, on second thought… don’t let go. But at least pull me back up.”
There was a soft purr as the boy was lifted back onto the branch… slowly. Very slowly. When he finally reached the branch, the boy turned around, eager to see whoever had saved him from his fall.
He came face to face… with a giant cat. It was as white as the clouds in the sky. It had a flowing mane that looked as though it was carefully groomed. Rainbow eyes that sparked with intelligence watched him. The tail was long and thin, with a tufted tip at the end. It had a long and lithe body that exuded power. And it seemed to be smiling.
“Hello.” it said in a distinctly female voice. “I’m Kren.” Thoroughly freaked out now, the boy did the first thing that came to mind. He introduced himself.
