Chapter 3 - A New Dawn

I was on top of the tree, trying to digest all of the things that just happened . My first love just died infront of me, my favourite teacher in the school got eaten by a terrifying dinosaur with horns.

My head started to hurt a lot and my chest became very heavy, I want to cry my heart out but I must not.

I don't want to expose my location to the possibly nearby dinosaurs. I am holding my tears inside, trying not cry but tears just won't stop shedding from my eyes. "Why? why can't I stop crying? ".

The whole day I sat there and cried. My tears eventually dried out but the wounds are still there in my heart. My stomach started growling, I haven't eaten anything since last night.

I looked down at the foot of the tree, there are no dinosaurs and it has been a while since I heard a noise.

The forest is vast and beautiful from up here on the tree and the sky is clear and filled with stars , tonight is also a full moon night.

This beautiful scene motivated me to not die by hunger as the world still holds beauty in it and I should see all of its beauty before dieing.

I started climbing down the tree slowly as I am scared for falling from this 15m tall tree. I am reaching the bottom and there is not a single dinosaur around which made me relax a bit.

I landed safely on the ground 'phew! now I just need to sneak out of the forest quietly and reach the city. I wonder if mom and dad are safe.'

I was thinking and started going towards the main road of sanctuary but on my first step I stepped on a branch making a crack noise.

Bushes starts shaking the instance noise was made, My heart trembled in fear and my instincts took over my body leading to climbing the tree using inhumane speed and sat on the same branch I was sitting earlier.

I looked down while gasping for air and saw two raptor type dinosaurs on the bottom of the tree sniffing around. I can't tell the species as it is really dark so, I can't identify them.

I decided to stay the night on the branch of the tree, It is a foolish decision to move in a forest which is filled with 'waiting for the prey' dinosaurs at night. I was sitting on the branch, waiting for the sun to rise and suddenly fell asleep.

7am

I sleeping soundly, the whole forest is calm and the sun is starting to rise. Suddenly the whole 15 metres tree on which I was sleeping on collapsed and I fall 2 to 3 metres landing on a soft body

. I woke up on top of something and as soon as I regained consciousness I saw that I am. Flying. The something I am sitting on right now is a dragon with a long and muscular body and is pink in colour. It also didn't have any wings, Sitting on top of it I felt amazed.

All of the sorrow in my heart vanished for a second and it was a really warm feeling. The dragon flew down to the foot of the five water goddess mountain and dropped me on the road and flew away into the sun.

I looked around and saw the black van we came in and got in it. "I don't have any driving experience, How I am going to drive this thing." I looked around for a driving manual or something that can help me.*KNOCK KNOCK *"HEYY OPEN THE DOOR QUICK."

I didn't believe what I am seeing right now, It was bhawna who is outside the van. I opened the door, she quickly sat in and locked the door. "THERE IS A CARNOTAURUS COMING TOWARDS US, BE QUICK AND DRIVE." she was panicking and I was really shocked.

"I don't know how to drive" I really didn't. "WHAT! THAN SWITCH THE SEATS, BE QUICK." we switch seats and as she was starting I looked outside the window and the Carnotaurus was running towards us preparing to tackle the van.

The van started but it was too late the dinosaur had collided with the van and took a few steps back balancing itself. Bhawna took the chance and drove the van to escape . "It is still following us I have to drive faster." The speed increased drastically on that narrow road with really curvy turns.

One mistake and the van will fell off the cliff but this is not time to worry about that I would like to fall to death with the girl I love but I don't want us to be dinner of someone else rather than going to dinner together. "What did you do to make that Carnotaurus this angry." I asked as I looked behind to see it's still following.

" I didn't do anything, it is just attacking me since yesterday." After a while we lost the dinosaur and got to the northern entrence of Five Stream City. Northern entrance is a bridge over the river Ghagar which needs to be crossed to enter the city.

"We are finally in the city." I relaxed when Bhawna pointed something out ," Is it just me or the Volume of the river has increased by a lot" She was correct the water in the Ghagar has increased a lot . If I have to say it must be at least 30 metres in depth at this point. After getting inside city I looked at her, she was covered in sweat and dirt and her leg was injured . I asked her how she survived the fall from the cliff.

"I landed on top of the Carnotaurus which died due to the fall but I survived although my leg is injured pretty bad. I don't think any bones are broken though." Her answer made sense as I also fell off a cliff once while hiking and It only broke my hip as I was lucky to be caught by a tree.
