Jurassic World: Reign

Chapter 3: The Runaway

A bicycle was on its way to a nearby town. It passed a bridge and was heading over to a logging area. The girl riding the bike had long, reddish brown hair and blue eyes. She wore a dark blue cotton jacket and a black shirt that had a Raptor's claw on the front. She also wore blue jeans and brown shoes. She also had a red bandana on her neck.

When the girl arrived at the town, she slowed down the pace of her bike and got off of it. She tied her bike to a light pole and went over to the logging area. She wasn't supposed to be here but because of her curiosity, she decided to go to the one place she was told not to go to.

But as children grow, they like to explore. And that's what she was doing. Her home wasn't too far away and she knew the route that led back to it.

As she parked her bike, she heard an ominous howl from the logging area. She cautiously walked to it, that sound may make some people scared. But not her. She knows full well what that howl belonged to.

When she got to the logging yard, she was in awe of the sight that was before her. These days, some may say the sight of an elephant is no longer impressive compared to being in the presence of a true titan.

The girl moved in closer. There were workers there that gathered to assess the situation. But they're not sure how to deal with it. The animal may not be dangerous since it's in a passive state but they can't just let it stay here.

With it's massive tail and neck, there's no doubt to the creature's identity. It had a small head, bulky build, four massive legs. And a tail that it used for whipping. It stood at a height of 20 feet and was 89 feet long. It may not be as large as some of the other animals that are like it, but it doesn't have to be.

It was an Apatosaurus. The name translated to "Deceptive Lizard" because it was thought that the bones belonged to a sea creature. It was rare to see a lone one. They usually traveled in herd of tens or above.

This one suddenly entered the logging yard for seemingly no reason this morning and the workers have been trying to figure out solutions on how to get it away from the area without hurting it.

Another howl was heard from the sauropod. It almost sounded like it was crying. The girl knew she had to do something. This animal was clearly sad because of an unknown event, the best she can do is help it. After all, she is responsible for these animals living on mainland in the first place.

She approached one of the workers to ask them about the sauropod. She asked him if they know where it came from and why.

"It just made it's way here on its own. I mean, I don't know if it's looking for something. It's also been staring at that hill for forty minutes now. Strange how that hill just came out of nowhere." A worker pointed out.

While observing the hill, it was clear to her that this probably wasn't a hill. If it was then he wouldn't have felt the need to draw attention to it. A hill doesn't just form out of the blue like that. If that Apatosaurus has been staring at the hill for an extended period of time, it must mean there's something important to it inside of there.

"Do any of you have flares?" The girl spoke with a British accent.

"Yeah we do. Why'd you ask?" The worker responded.

"I think I know how to get him out." The girl replied.

"Well, if it helps the poor thing, might as well. Plus, it probably can't stand the cold. I can't blame it." The worker answered.

The Apatosaurus was still looking around. Trying to inspect the area for anything that might indicate the location of what it was looking for. But alas, it had no luck. It was afraid that it might have to give up on this search but it won't stop. It can't.
