I follow the girl in hopes of figuring out why and how she was in my dream. As I am running after her, she darts into the nearby woods.

"Crap! Wait! I just want to talk to you!" I call, hoping she'll slow down. But alas, she does not and continues to run away from me. "I'm not going to hurt you, I promise!"

She turns around a corner, and I almost lose her. She runs into a cave, and I follow. A few seconds later I see her figure slowly change into a bat, in which only I have been able to do. I'm shocked, and I stop right in my tracks. She turns towards me and flew out of the cave. I stare in amazement, but soon realize that I am very stupid. God dang-it, Carlo! You should've followed her! I scold myself. Great, now she's gone!

I make my way out of the cave and push that encounter aside. I return to my small base to sleep, seeing as there were a few hours left of darkness.

.~* Time Skip *~.

I wake up from my slumber and return to my original plan to spy on those scientists. I still can't get that girl out of my mind. Who was she? Why did she appear in my dream? Did I see her before? Am I experiencing Déjà vu? All of these questions were going through my head. I tried focusing on my work, finally succeeding after many tries.

I morph into my bat form and fly into what used to be my home. I head inside the dilapidated house and hear machines running. Oh, no.. did they turn on the machines? I think to myself. Darn it! I should have unplugged them all - Wait, no, I should have destroyed them all. Why do I have to be so stupid and not do things? I procrastinate too much.

I try to listen in on them and realize they're holding what I hoped so hard not to be what I thought it was. But.. it was. The Dinopedia. They've been researching more stuff about dinosaurs. What am I supposed to do? I ask myself. This isn't going to end well, for anyone.

This is great. Juuust great.

After the scientists head out of the door, I follow in the shadows. I say in a somewhat monotonous voice, "What are they doing now?" and I continue to watch them with interest. Where are they going? I ask myself. They start building a fence, and it takes me a few minutes to realize what's going on.

A Dino pen?!? Please tell me they're not preparing for a dinosaur revival! I can't allow this, I say. I can't. I just can't allow this! So I use my little bat wing to grip onto the bowstring, my bat teeth to hold it steady, and my other wing to draw the arrow back. I shoot at them, and quickly hide behind the wall. Using my ability, I put my bow away.

"Woah. Woah, Woah, Woah! We just got shot at! We just got shot at!" One of the guys screams.

"What?" The other asks.

"An arrow just flew right past you." The first one says.

They get their weapons out, and start looking around.

Goatee man gasps. "It's the bat! You see the bat?"

"Oh, I see him! Let's go! He's inside our house! He's gonna steal more stuff!" The mole-man shouts.

Oh, no. I see them coming! I'm screwed, aren't I? I think. Wait, no. There's a little hole here.. I quickly crawl to the hole in hopes of getting away from them. I hid there for a few minutes, and I hear a noise. Hey.. Wait a minute.. Is he blocking me off? I leave my little hidey-hole and look around. Hey.. Oh! They clogged up all the holes.. That's just rude! I sigh and figure it would just be useless for me to stay, so I left.

After landing on the ground and morphing back into my beautiful self, I make a decision. I'm going to break their fence. Cause why not. So I proceed to break their fence, occasionally looking back to see if they were there.

"Hey, look! He's breaking down our fence! He's breaking down our fence!" Mole-man shouts.

"Oh, that jerk!" Goatee-man yells.

"Go get him! Go get him!" Mole-man shouts. And the chase is on. I run away, finding a place to morph back into a bat. I quickly fly off into the distance, and find myself flying close to their house, but far enough away so that they won't see me. Once I was far enough, I morph back into a little dinosaur that I had killed. To be fair, I only did it to keep people safe... But anyway, I await nightfall to come so I can see what they're up to.

After nighttime approaches, I sneak over to the scientists, still disguised. Looking over a few blades of grass, I see something unexpected, and very, very, alarming.

"Oh, my god.. A triceratops!" I say in bewilderment. I haven't seen those in... Wait, I haven't seen them at all. What am I thinking?

But.. looking at the triceratops right now, it seems trapped. I feel like.. like.. How do I save it? How do I save it? I think to myself.

I start plotting an escape plan for the triceratops, and I think of one.

I use my paxel to break open a part of the fence when the scientists weren't looking. But, stupid me, I didn't think. Crap... I need to wait until they're sleeping to try that again, I thought to myself.

I head into their house and find a hiding spot in the ground. I wait and listen to the noises, mostly the two supposed-to-be grown men screaming like little girls about the zombies.

As I'm waiting for the scientists to calm down, I fly up a little bit in the hole. Well, until a zombie came, reached into my hole with its sword, axe, whatever it was- I didn't get the chance to see it- and swung at me. I was hit, and I passed out in the hole.
