"Hello, last year was so freaky! Oh, I forgot to tell you who I am. I'm Matt Russ 15 years old and loves dinosaurs. So I like went into this, wait, I'm not gonna spoil it . Eh. I might as well tell you."
"Home at last!" I yelled in the empty house. Mom and Dad are at work and my annoying brother James II is in college. There was this room in our house that no one was allowed to go in. I went in for the fun of it and fell.
"It was just a rock. " I said to myself. Then out of the blue, a black and green portal absorbed me and I fell unconscious.
"What just happened?" I thought in my infinite brain. [I'm really smart so I should know where I was.] We live in Topeka, Kansas and right now I was in the tropical rainforest. Not knowing where I was, I explored my surroundings and came across a field of rocks. The only way was to go on top of them. During my stroll along the rocks, I heard something bellowing. Now going towards the sound, I burped, which apparently is pretty loud and I was running for my life. I was being chased by a bunch of Hadrosaurs and the rocks were their eggs. I hid behind what I thought was a tree. It turned around and revealed itself to be an Apatosaurus.
"Holy shizz !" I yelled ( And it was a bit too loud. ) I turned to face a baby Apatosaurus and apparently liked me. It's long neck coiled around my body and put me on it's back while eating shrubs that grew on the ground. I was currently about 25 feet off the ground and if I jumped, I would die. Ridges on the dinosaur poked my butt repeatedly. Jumping off the Apatosaurus's head, I picked up a leaf and gave it to the baby Apato.
"What the ____!" I exclaimed being snagged from land. I look up to see a bird with 20 foot wingspan and a toothed beak. It was a Peteinosaurus, but they were supposed to be as small as a chair. This thing was the size of a bus! Looking up again, I realize those aren't teeth, it was a small spiked animal that the pterosaur had for it's...
"Uh-Oh." was the first thing that came into mind, it was going to feed it's babies. I squirmed in the pterosaurs grasp, but it's claws were a foot long and I couldn't move.
"I'll make a break for it when we reach the nest." I thought in my, still confused brain.
( I am on the side) * TWO HOURS LATER. * ( Quetzacoatlus info --------->)
Hacthlings about 3 feet tall, nip at my legs while I observe the surrounding land. We traveled about 10 miles, if you ask me. I needed to get back to the portal and now I'm at least 10 miles away from getting home. I look down and see we were 40 feet above ground. I was in a big pinch.
"Geronimo!" I yell, jumping down from the nest. I ran as fast as I could away from the nest before anything could get me. I stopped seeing a metal sword stuck in the ground. On the side of the blade was a name carved into the sword. It had said : Ja--s Ru-s. Filling in the letters, it said..
"James Russ!" I exclaimed to my new find, but James Russ was my father. So what was he doing here in the Age of Dinosaurs? I picked up the metal sword and followed a trail of some seed.
"What the?" I said when I reached a treehouse. I knocked on the door and waited for someone or something to answer the door. Sometime later, the door opens and there stands my dad.
"Matt?!" my dad says in a surprised and angry way.
"What are you doing here?!?!?" he said in an irritated tone.
"I fell through a portal and fell into this world." I told him what happened on my journey here and he was quite surprised that I had encountered some of the dinosaurs that he hadn't.
"Well I guess you'll have to come with me." my dad sighed. We relaxed in the treehouse and by the afternoon, we went out to find food for dinner that night. We had frog legs and ginkgo fruit for dinner.
"Good night ." my dad said to me as we got in bed for the night.
-The next day.-
I woke up and looked to my left, to see an empty bed. I panicked and ran out the treehouse, picking up the metal sword. I ran out into the wilderness and billeted his name as I searched the forest. I gave up. There was so much ground to cover and it was just one person. I went back to the treehouse to see smoke coming from the back. Running to the back, I scold myself. Dad was making pancakes in the back. He had two plates stacked with pancake towers that had syrup coming from the top.
"Is that breakfast?" I asked curiously. I thought that since we apes inay the Age of Dinosaurs, we would eat fish and fruit.
"Yes..." he says back with a slight inquisitive tone.
"Good, because I'm starving." I say, my stomach yelling for food. We sat down in the treehouse, eating our pancakes. Apparently, my dad had brought some things from our time to the Age of Dinosaurs or Mesozoic era.
"Dad, who is the dad in our time if you're here?" I ask wondering about what I had just asked.
"Son, even if we are here, we are also up there, our body's are in both worlds and each body has similar minds, meaning that you have a clone that will help toy keep up with your life, even if you are here. Once you go back to our time the clone will then enter your body and you will obtain all the knowledge your clone has learned.
"Okay so you've been down here all my life?!" I say with an angry tone.
"No." he say straight down.
"When I entered this portal you had just become a softmore. I left to study things. I figured since you became more solitary you would notice less about my clone. Once I go back up there I would have learner much more than just staying up there. Once I have obtained that knowledge, I could get a better job and make the family better."
he said to me.
"Thanks Dad." I say, finally knowing the truth. we go out to explore the wilderness. I put on a watch and my dad had a tracking device so he would know where I was. In a few minutes, I'm running for my life. An Allosaurus was on my tail and I couldn't. shake it off. My dad sees me running and pulls out his sword. He charged and sliced it tail tip clean off.
"You okay?" he asked.
"I'm fine. Thanks Dad for saving me back there." I say, grateful for his appearance.
"That's good to know." he says. We walk back to our treehouse. He told me that he made sure there were no carnivores in the treehouse area. I jump on one of the beds still in shock that I could die here.
"Hey, Dad? What would happen to our clones if we die here? " I asked him.
"Then you will enter the clone and control the clone's body from the inside, like a puppet. You have 2 lives since you entered this world, but you will never be able to enter here again." he says.
"Has mom ever come here? " I ask.
"Hundreds of times, she can open up her own portals to come here and the other places." he says.
"Like what kind of places, Dad?" I ask
"The Ice Age or Age of Mammals and the......." he trails off and stops talking.
"What, what is it? " I asked, demanding for an answer.
"The Age of Fish. The most dangerous. Fish could eat Allosaurus, the thing that attacked you today." he says, his mouth trembling. He walks away and just sits on his bed.
"What can be so scary about fish?" I ask him.
"There is giant armored fish, sharks, giant octopus-like creatures, and the most feared: Megalodon. Big enough to eat a van and has a bite force of about a ton.
Chapter Two will come out soon.
Thank you peoples!
