A Sea Monster's Dream (Not Continuing)

Chapter 2: A Mysterious Creature

Kit POV:

I was walking over the rocks by the sea, thinking. I tried to remember everything for the test tomorrow, and if I can believe the ones that already made it, it's gonna be a rough one. I was the only one here, since it's getting dark and everyone is going home to eat dinner. Dad will probably be late as always, but if not, he'll call me.

I hear something in the water, so I stopped walking and looked at the ocean. It's beautiful at sunset. I snapped out of my thoughts when all of a sudden some kind of monster jumped on  a rock not too far from me. I fell over, startled, looking at it. It didn't seem to notice me, as it was staring at the ocean too. I have never seen anything like it, though I think I recognize it from my dad's descriptions... I can't think of the name.

I stared at it for a bit, to know for sure if it won't attack me. It seems sad...

I walked to it, which is a stupid thing to do... But I didn't have anything better to do. I stood beside it, observing it's scales that looked almost like silver, drops of water shining, reflecting the light of the sunset.

"Beautiful, isn't it?" I said, I think I scared it because it stood up almost immediately and took a few leaps away from me.

"Woah, woah! I didn't mean to scare you...! I'm Kit, I mean no harm to you, I promise!" I tried to calm it down, but it only seems more scared. Maybe it's because of the yelling. "There's nothing to be afraid of... Nobody else is here and I have no weapons or anything" I said as I took my bag off my shoulder and emptied it in front of me. The monster slowly walks up to me, observing every item I had in my bag. It picked up my metal ballpoint pen and a piece of paper, it looked like it wanted to write something.

I carefully took the pen from it's claws, it's just as scared if being attacked as I am. I click the pen open, test if there's still ink in it and give it back. It looked at the pen and clicks it a few times, like a child that just found out how things worked. It drew something on the paper, I couldn't read it, but I know it tried to talk to me.

Raptor POV

I tried to scribble something that this human, apparently named Kit, could understand. All I could write was weird letters that looked more like drawings. I got pissed, but tried to stay calm as I didn't want to get attacked by Kit. I tried to remember how to speak human language. Why did I stop!? It would've been very handy right now...

Suddenly, an idea came to my mind. Sign language. I've seen humans do it, but I have no idea what anything means. Damn, that won't work either...

Kit started to ask me questions. "So ehm... Do you have a name...?" He asked. I tried to write it down, a few weird letters and some runes under it, just in case Kit knew what those meant. Kit is having troubles reading it...

He grabbed a flat, black thing and opened it like a book, but sideways. Half of the inside was letters on small squares and the other half changed from black to a bunch of trees. He pressed on some of the letters, which made the same noise as the weird pencil he gave me, and the trees changed to some books. I was confused, but looked at what Kit did. He made something appear, a white square. He then pressed on some letters, and those letters appeared on the white square.
'Can you read?' it said. I nodded, which made Kit smile surprised. He gave me the weird book. "Press some letters to type something, I can read that better than the.... Drawings you made" he told me. So I tried to press the letters of my name.

Kit POV

It was confused at first, but then it typed a few letters on my laptop.
'raptor'
"So your name is Raptor?" I asked. It nodded.
"Where are you from?"
'deep dark sea, left friends, they angry'
I can tell Raptor is struggling to type.
"So you left your friends? Why?"
'they do not like my idea, they scared of humans'
"Why are they scared?"
'hunted'
"Hunted? By humans?"
'yes'
"What are you? I haven't heard of you before..."
It was thinking for a bit.
'mare bestia'

... Now I know why I recognize it.
