Chapter 16- Rivals

-Dino POV-

It's been a couple days now ever since Laff got infected.. and let me tell you, it hasn't been the most peaceful couple of days. Gulvic and Ryzo had been at each other ever since the incident with Nadwe and Woolf. They literally wrestled with each other, had competitions with each other, and have just been so annoying! The good thing though, is that they haven't been going after any of us, and if they have they give up because the other is annoying them too much. I guess it's a blessing and a curse. After Socks and Laff get back in control though, they are out of breath, and super tired.

At the moment, Gulvic and Ryzo were having another one of their.. screeching.. competitions. We learned that as soon as they start trash talking to each other, and they take a deep breath in, run out of the room and go down the hall if you don't want to be deaf for a week. Before they were about to let out another scream of extremely high frequencies, I stepped in and intervened.

"Hold it. Before you start screeching.. Again.. at least tell us why you are having these competitions in the first place?"

"Because SOMEONE needs to learn their place in this world, and know that I basically gave him life. Therefore he should OBEY me and NOT RUIN OUR PLANS."

"Oh, so it's my fault leaving a brand new infection to box in two fully grown humans with their tentacles that they just got?!"

"YOU COULD' VE AT LEAST TRIED! THERE WAS A REASON I INFECTED YOU! DON'T MAKE ME THINK THAT WAS A MISTAKE!"

It was obvious there was a growing tension between the two, and that it had to be stopped or else things might get a bit physical.

"And what does screeching have anything to do with.. knowing your.. place..?"

"Uhm.. it.. shows who can hold a scream the longest! Therefore how strong you are."

"I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure screaming has no correlation with strength.."

"And how would you know Dinosaur? It's not like you're infected like us!"

"Fine! I'll prove it.."

I then punched the wall as hard as I could. This was almost like a stress reliever for me, as I actually had a reason to be punching the wall. This actually made a shallow hole in the drywall.

Since when did I have this type of streng- oh yeah.. I'm a literal Dinosaur..

I'm not super used to seeing my own destruction, as I never cause it. I forgot how strong I really was. I looked back at the two infected, and they were amazed. Gulvic actually had a hint of regret and fear in his eyes, which I'm thankful for. At least he now knows what I'm capable of. I also think he wishes he infected me instead.. but, it's too late now. I may be a bit of a scaredy-cat sometimes.. but I can definitely pack a punch!

-Gulvic POV-

I was not expecting the dinosaur to punch through the wall.

HOLY CRAP, THAT'S ALOT OF POWER. I should've infected him instead..

"Alright, fine. You proved your point.. but we won't stop until after anoth-"

"GULVIC! THAT'S ENOUGH WITH THE SCREECHING! I'LL PROBABLY GO DEAF IF YOU DO IT ONE MORE TIME!"

"Well at least you wouldn't be able to hear your own voice.."

"AT LEAST MY VOICE DOESN' T SOUND LIKE A PAPER SHREDDER! Also, I have just one, simple, question. WHY HAVE YOU BEEN KILLING AND INFECTING OUR FRIENDS!?"

"Well if you're so strong why aren't you stopping me?"

I tried to put on the smuggest face I could ever have. I also made sure that there was some sarcasm and attitude in my face. I wanted to cover up the fact that I was actually a bit.. I think for the first time.. scared. The dinosaur then cast a look of pure hatred all directed at me, punched the wall a second time, and started breathing very heavily, as if he was hyperventilating, but I know he wasn't. I then heard one of the people from across the room quietly say,
