The days wear on and I become hungrier. I've spotted Rexy and we've looked at each other from afar but after that nightmare, I'm not taking any chances. I'm especially wary since when I approach Rexy, she growls at me. Whatever she leaves behind in terms of a kill, I try to strip it. However, Rexy has been swallowing bones and licking the meat clean off those carcasses. There is barely anything to eat. When the hunger becomes too much, I try for the gallimimus creatures.
On this particular morning, the stupid beasts are just standing there kicking at the grass at their feet. I start with a slow walk and charge in at them. They stampede. I catch the biggest fattest one I can find. Jumping onto its narrow back, I hook my dew claws in and work my way up to its neck. Oh it's on!!! To my surprise, it curves its neck around to face me and pecks me in the eye. I've never felt pain like this. Dizzy, I slip. It jumps around and soon after I am on the ground. Before I can catch my breath it is stomping on me with its powerful feet. I feel something snap in my chest. I can't even cry out because it takes the wind out of me. Suddenly, to my horror, the rex shows up and is heading straight for us. The gallimimus wisely leaves me lying there while it flees to rejoin its group. I try to stand but fall back down. My nightmare is coming true only this time I can't run. Rexy picks up speed and roars feverishly. What's the use? There's a very likely chance I won't survive out here by myself anyway. I lie down and await my demise.
It never comes. Rexy halts her charge simultaneously to a loud shrieking noise that seems to set the atmosphere on fire. The Rex looks at me one more time. The loud shriek is sounded again and Rexy takes off in the other direction. I welcome the darkness that now takes over me.
