The earth was still shaking, from the loud snarls from outside. I could clearly hear those, even feel those strange noises, that might have come from a monster. Or so I guessed. But when I was prepared to get squished and die a second time, nothing happened. Instead those snarls ended in some very noisy sniffing sounds. Through the crack of the walls, surrounding me I could feel the warm air, that suddenly filled the inside of my unknown prison I was in.
But was it really a prison I was in? Wasn't death agreeing to my wish? If that's so...then...!
I got an idea where I was in. This damn thing was the inside of an egg! A dinosaur egg? Oh please, I hope so! And if I'm right, that giant thing outside was...my mother? Or father perhaps.
When I thought about it being my dinosaur father, I had to gulp down. Nobody exactly knew how well the male parts took care of the young. If it was a male outside, my father maybe. It could see me as a new rival for his territory, that would grow up and before that will happen, maybe he just eats me as soon as I hatch out of this thing?
The thought came to me and I was scared a bit...or a lot. But also I tried to calm myself by thinking, that I won't believe that. If dinosaurs and birds are a bit alike, even the males would care for their young. Aren't some crocodilians also like that? Me thinking about that, calmed me and I filled my lungs with some air, gaining strength out of it and tensed my body. Then I slammed my head into the crack and my snout went through it. I was stuck, but only for a brief moment, because I started to wiggle my snout and cracked the eggshell, finally! I was free! I made a short jump out of it, but I lost my balance and I fell forward onto the ground. "Ouch!" I wasn't speaking, it was just a high pitched squeak, that came out of me.
I rolled around, on my back, preparing for the worse, when I looked up. There was a giant shadow over me and then I noticed the big snout of a giant, lizardlike beast above me. The giant long jaw of the Giganotosaurs hanging over me was almost like I ever imagined. Some teeth showed, but it was only the tips of those teeth that showed, because the jaw was open a bit. Breathing warm, stinking air down at me. Ohh...all people were right. Those giant predators had a very terrible mouth odor! But I guess I had to adapt to it and maybe I will, because mine would smell not much different soon, when I'm big, right?
I made another squeak, waiting for a reaction of that giant beast, which had it's head hung over the nest, I was laying in. It answered my squeaks with a short snarl, then a giant, warm and wet tongue licked over all of my body. I myself, was just as big as a chicken and this dinosaur? It must have been at least fourteen meters long and seven height, while standing. It was massive! It's skin was scaly like, no feathers I could find. But some big scales on it's neck, around it's eyes and his back.
I sticked out my arms. They felt very short. Only three tiny fingers on it. But my arms were at least bigger and more useful as that of a T-Rex, I though, while I tried to defend myself from the licking and tickling tongue. And finally the tongue disappeared and I got another snarl. Seemed it was just checking if I am healthy. Hopefully it's happy to meet me. I wanted to smile, but all I did, was to raise up the lips on the left side of my littly snout a bit, showing my tiny and pointy teeth. Then I rolled around again. It wasn't as easy as I thought to get on my feet and find my balance. It was then, that I noticed my tail. As a human I was used to walk on two legs, but with a tail? It felt strange a bit, but also my practice as a human made it easy for me to stand up and even walk. I must be a natural talent! I even jumped a bit around in the nest, which was made out of mud and some leaves, glued into it. It was a tiny mountain, with a circle on top of it, where the eggs were. Mine was the first that hatched and I could find three more eggs. I had siblings!
Walking over to one of the eggs I pushed my head against it, tried to listen and hear something. And I did. I heard a heartbeat inside, so maybe this egg would hatch soon. I made a barking pipsqueak. 'Hey you in there, come out!' I wanted to say, but I couldn't. But at least my squeaks seemed to help, because the egg was soon moving. Also the other two eggs did and I was there to meet my brothers and sisters! I somehow felt excited. How would the look? Like me? What color would they have? The same brownish black color like my mother above me? I looked up again. Yes I was sure of it, this was my mother. She must be, I could see it in her eyes. Besides them looking somehow intimidating, because it were greenish eyes of a predator. They also seemed careful to me. She was overlooking the others hatch and so did I. And soon it was four little baby dinosaurs inside the nest, squeaking and trying to get on their feet. Well, three of them did. Me, the fourth and firstborn, first hatched? Whatever, I didn't struggle with it and was trying to help my brothers and sisters on ther feet, by sticking my snout under theirs and lifting them up. I got some thankful squeaks and sqeals and even some licks. Then I jumped around them and soon they did the same, because they tried to do the same I was doing. They were fast learners! I was so proud and so was our mother, who was looking over us for some time, till another loud and noisy snarl were coming from a distance. This strange snarl sounded familiar, but it also ended in the ground shaking again, as mother Giga was turning around and leaving into another direction.
