Page 29 of 44 As Steven lifted up himself in the boat, he saw what exactly was going on:
the river ended inside a large cave-like formation. It wasn’t something the
Germans made; it was a natural type of formation. A river that ended inside a
cave. But… something then caught his eye that gave him electrifying volts of
fear. Because inside the cave, in a area that was just sand with no water
covering it… was the giant… sleeping… Ceratosaurus.
Steven almost screamed at the sight, but covered his mouth just in time so
he wouldn’t. He was trembling all over at the sight.
He then thought, "I’ve got to get out of here, out of this cave. I can’t
make a sound, or it’ll wake up, and…"
Not wanting to think about what could happen, Steven tried to silently step
into the icy water, out of the boat. He tried to do it ever so silently,
sneakily, yet fastly, but he slipped while trying to get out of the boat!
SPLASH!
A large splash was made from Steven’s foot that slipped into the water! The
Ceratosaur snorted, lifted its head up, and was now fully alert. With it’s
extraordinary eyesight, the Ceratosaur could see Steven clearly with his foot
in the water. It then leaped to it’s feet, roaring in anger for Steven’s
disturbance. Steven didn’t know, but once the boat flowed inside the cave, he
had immediately entered a part of the Ceratosaur’s territory. Doing such a
thing, was like committing suicide. The giant carnivore would now do anything
to get rid of the intruder.
Screaming, Steven quickly got the rest of himself into the water, and
grabbed one of the wooden paddles as doing so. He hid behind the boat, with the
Ceratosaur walking up to him. It got in the water, and now had its head right
above the boat, looking over at Steven! It then looked at him…
Steven started hitting the Ceratosaur’s head with the wooden paddle as it
tried to get closer, but the paddle broke in half when he hit the giant
dinosaur! It roared, angry at Steven, lifted its head down, and started to bite
the boat! Chomping on it, with the wood splintering everywhere, the Ceratosaur
was destroying the boat. Steven screamed as he then tried to swim up the river,
and try to get out of the cave!
After the dinosaur finished destroying the boat, it started to go after
Steven in the river. The Ceratosaur didn’t have to swim… it’s body was well
above the water… in fact the water only went to it’s knees. It was getting
closer to Steven, catching up to him… he would be eaten soon…
But then, some other dinosaur splashed into the cave! It was a different
dinosaur that Steven identified as a Torvosaur. The Torvosaur looked exactly
like a Tyrannosaurus Rex, and was about a foot larger then the Ceratosaur. But
why did the Torvosaur enter the Ceratosaur’s territory?
The two giants looked at each other, growling. The Ceratosaur was surprised,
yet ticked, the Torvosaur looked as if he came there for a purpose, and was
standing in an attack position.
Steven hurriedly swam to the left side of the cave, getting out of the way
of the entering Torvosaur.
The dinosaurs were now only a meter away from each other, still growling.
The Ceratosaur then lashed out its head and bit the Torvosaur’s neck! The
Torvosaur fought back, and bit its opponent’s snout! A fight had now been
engaged! The Ceratosaur rammed its head against the Torvosaur’s chest… the horn
at the end of its nose piercing the skin, and making a deep cut! Next Page Copyright © 1999, 2000, 2001 Derrick Davis, sffworld.com. All rights reserved.
