Dino’s Included: Cresselia (3006)

The hallways were dark as water that dripped from the cracked ceilings created puddles below, green hue’s from old pods that once caged dinosaurs that were made by the once things called “Humans” lined the many rooms with the glass cracked in the front of them as old liquid dripped from them. The alpha labs were mostly abandoned but the odd dinosaur made the creepy place their home or most were born down their and had always called it home, the sound of small footsteps as a small raised claw tapped the metal floor panels as it walked with a small young raptor that spotted bright purple scales that went by the code name of Cresselia, looking around in a curious manner she let out a small bark trying to locate prey in the dark hallway.

Cresseila had been born in the lab and had grown up in it ever since always knowing the way around the winding halls and today she was on the hunt for food as it had been a few days since she had eaten and hunting down here was a harsh reality and normally the young hatchling would just eat trash she could find as her stomach let off a low growl making her wince slightly as she walked down the hallway. The labs were also home to much larger carnivores so hunting wasn’t exactly the easiest for a young utahraptor as she was seen as food by much bigger things that lurked in the dark.

“Today is the day I will hunt something and no more eating trash” she mumbled to herself jumping around before hearing a skitter ahead as she spotted a small tail crawl underneath some old papers that laid on the floor up ahead in the hallway which grabbed her attention , it was a rat and it would be the easiest thing for her to catch but they were fast so she would have to outsmart it but having little to no hunting experience it wasn’t going to be easy for her.

“A Rat I could catch that, but how will I catch it?” she said quietly before crouching down, keeping her stance still as she could, trying to copy the other hunting skills of much larger dinosaurs she had watched hunt down here before.  As the rat moved Cresseila quickly followed making sure to stay out of its sight , using the old furniture that littered the hallways as cover with the rat stopping in the middle of a open area as it climbed a old desk that was coated in dust, it wasn’t aware of the little raptor hunting it so far she was doing good.

Watching the rat Cresseila growling lowly as her eyes moved with each movement of her prey she was building up the courage to spring into action but she wasn’t there yet as she held her position , using her bright scales to blend into the darkness. Continuing to stalk the rat as it was also foraging for food she was curious about it as her stomach began to growl even more and her small jaws watered with the thought of not having to eat the trash around and have a actual meal but watching others hunt was a lot easier then doing it yourself but Cresseila had to learn even if she was a hatchling.

“Well now or never Cresseila you can do it, it can’t be that hard” she said to herself before taking off and with the noise from her burst the rat became aware as she jumped up onto the desk her claws scratching the old wood, and the rat taking off the otherside of the desk but she was on top of the movement almost like a primal instinct took over the young raptor.

Down the hallway Cresseila followed the rat keeping her claws close to her little body as she kept pace trying to tire out the mammal who was trying to lose her with quick movements. Skidding to a stop Cresseila let out a growl before pushing herself fully as she gained on the Rat who was now slowing down with her claws at the ready to tackle it but it skittered up a shelf that was in the hallway causing her to come to a stop and wait at the bottom of it as it was to tall for her to reach.

“Oh come on are you serious, I almost had it” she growled to herself as she paced back and forth her tail flicking slightly behind her as she narrowed her eyes, her stomach letting out another growl which gave her an idea as she stopped and looked up seeing the rat. The young utahraptor leaned down before jumping up and grabbing onto a shelf pulling herself up as the rat began to panic with her getting closer to it.  

“I got you now you furry creature, You are my dinner!” she growled out before losing her balance and causing the shelf to fall down with a big crash as it echoed down the hallways of the labs, but with quick movement Cresseila had jumped off in time but it couldn’t be said the same for the rat she was hunting that had gotten crushed by the heavy shelf and pinned it down on the ground with its last breath being let go, but she had did it even if she needed help from a random object but that didn’t matter to her as her eyes widened with her making her way over to the now dead rat.

“I caught it hah! Take that you ugly critter I finally hunted something for myself! Watching all those other dinosaurs hunt down here finally worked out” she said, chirping in excitement as she jumped up and down before leaning and grabbing the dead rat which was a tad bit heavy for her to carry but she would make due or just enjoy her new meal here.

Now able to hunt for herself there would be no eating more trash for this little utah.
