Vera, third person pov.

Vera ran through the jungle. The smell of smoke still clung to the air. She took two quick breaths, and darted through the bushes to her left.
She stopped, picking up a new smell as the wind quickened..... blood!
She was at a full run now, her leg muscles burned as she ran. Her curiosity peaked as she hit branch after branch, breaking through the dark jungle. A loud bang burst through the air as she ran towards the smell, the jungle ahead of her lighting up. Screams filled the air as she burst through the last of the dense jungle. Ahead of her laid a less dense jungle made completely out of palm trees.
The loud sound of footprints sounded as she barely avoided being trampled by the incoming Spinosaurs.
She moved through the last of the trees and onto the beach. Off in the ocean laid a large structure, just like the ones on the island, but bigger. She was familiar with these objects, they were built by the humans, though they where only as large as her kind, they were able to create building much larger than themselves. At least that's what the elders had told her. She was told that some of the elders, including her father, had even begun to understand the humans. Some of them, like her uncle said they should all be killed for what they had done to them. But her father had argued that they were just arrogant, and didn't understand it was wrong. Even through all the stories she'd heard of them, she never expected them to come back. Though here they where. Human or not, she was hungry,and a long way away from the nest. She was a young raptor and her muscles weren't fully developed yet. She scanned the shoreline for any whole bodies, though all she saw was depries from the structure out at sea..... That's when her eyes locked in something farther down, a body, and it was completely in tact! She ran over, and after surveying it, she bent down to smell her new meal. Once she got close, something startled her, it was a heartbeat. She jerked her head back and scanned the body again. A large wave washed over it, and it rolled over on its side facing her, coughing on the water. She scanned the body a third time, realizing that it had no protective scales, no claws, no feathers, and very little fur. As it coughed she even realized it had small flat teeth, not much for killing with. How did it defend itself, she wondered, though the creature mumble something, breaking the silence. "Mom?" it croaked. She had no idea what it had just sayed, but she heard the fear in its voice. She bent down trying to see if it was hurt, though she didn't smell any blood on him. When she bent down it wrapped its arm around her neck and pulled her tight. She settled down next to it, not sure what it was doing, though there was something reassuring in its grasp, as if she was safe, before she knew it she was asleep.
AN.
I'm going to start making longer chapters, though that may mean longer delays between chapters.
