## Awaken the Ancient
### Chapter One: The Night They Came
Spinosaurus. That word meant nothing to me a month ago. Now, it’s my secret—my superpower. Or my curse. In the quiet between breaths, I can feel ancient muscles twitch beneath my skin.
I wish I could start at the beginning, with normal. But my life spun off its rails on a night that erased all hint of normalcy.
It was late—how late, exactly, I can't recall. The foggy end of summer in a city that never really wakes up. I was biking home, my backpack heavy with fresh groceries and overdue library books, thinking of nothing but the cold pizza waiting for me in the fridge.
I heard them before I saw them. Footsteps—the precise, synchronized kind that spelled trouble. Three figures emerged from the shadows near the empty playground. I spun my bike to the side, blood buzzing in my ears. As I stood under the rusty glow of a streetlamp, two SUVs cruised to a stop, engines rumbling like distant thunder.
They wore black armor, faces hidden behind mirrored visors. No one else would have noticed me—shaggy, overgrown Julian, student and almost-college dropout. But they knew exactly who I was.
None of it mattered. My legs moved before I realized it, racing for the alleys, but the air itself seemed to turn solid in front of me. I choked as a needle jabbed my arm, then world dissolved.
I woke up bound to a table in a white room, the taste of copper in my mouth.

### Chapter Two: "Project ReGenesis"
Days passed—maybe weeks. I don’t remember all of it. A blur of faces, injections, questions. They took my blood, made me run tests, asked about family history (which was both extensive and deeply uninteresting). They strapped me into machines, showed me images: jungle, forest, ancient bones glistening under fluorescent lights.
Then the dreams started—heavy feet splashing through muddy rivers, jaws lined with fangs snapping down on wriggling fish. And the hunger, deep and endless.
We all awoke one day in our cells to screaming. Someone—the girl in cell 5—had doubled in size, all limbs and claws, scales blooming where freckles used to be.
That was the day they told us: "This is Project ReGenesis. You’re chosen."
I didn’t believe them, not really. Until it happened to me.

### Chapter Three: Deep Roots
At first, it took effort—closing my eyes, clutching the synthetic cot, gritting my teeth against the burning that started in my spine. It felt like drowning in my own body as bones warped, stretched; as soft flesh split and healed over, forming coils and ridges. My clothes tore, my vision shifted, colors blooming in strange new ways.
I roared—a deep, watery sound—and tossed my head, feeling the weight behind my jaws. The world shrunk; my worries faded.
They caged us, but we found each other. There were six of us, each different in kind and color.
Sometimes, when they let us “train” in their underground enclosure, we whispered our names in stolen moments:
**Me—Julian**: the long, crimson Spinosaurus, sail arching high, claws as sharp as my hunger.
**Tammy**: a snub-tailed Triceratops with a wicked sense of humor.
**Mikael**: a feathered, golden Velociraptor—sharp eyes and restless energy.
**Eli**: Stegosaurus, hulking and gentle, with enough plates to stop a tank.
**Sam**: Pteranodon, forever half-dreaming of the sky.
**Carlos**: the quiet Ankylosaurus, stronger than anyone realized.
Different shapes, one shared fate.

### Chapter Four: Escape Plan
Every power comes with a price. The longer we shifted, the more distant we felt from ourselves—memories flickering, instincts overriding logic. The Agency (they never called themselves anything else) wanted control: a legion of living fossils as weapons.
But we had other plans.
Mikael was the catalyst—he always was. "They can’t control all of us at once," he argued, pacing the rec room with that nervous, birdlike energy. "Jul, with your strength and Sam’s flight, we can break out of here."
I’d almost given up hope—it clung to me, slow and sticky, like the river mud I dreamed of every night.
But hope is infectious.
We started small: learning the rhythms of the guards, mapping the hidden locks. Sam, in his Pteranodon form, scouted the corridors overhead. Tammy distracted guards with bluffs and banter. Carlos discovered a crack in the recreation area wall.
The night of the escape, we gathered in the dark, each of us trembling. “No heroes,” Eli said, his massive form shadowing us all. “We all make it, or none.”
My claws shook as I forced the shift, feeling old power rise up, ageless and terrible. I crashed through the wall, alarms blaring as concrete sprayed like dust.
Freedom tastes like blood, fear, and wind.

### Chapter Five: On the Run
Outside, the night was soft and wet. We raced through the woods, wild and gasping, stumbling over roots and streams. Helicopters roared overhead, promising more trouble.
My size made hiding impossible. But I felt alive in a way I’d never known—each step a thunderclap, each breath thick with the scents of earth and rain.
We doubled back, shifting into our human forms when safe, huddling together in shivering groups. Sometimes we argued; sometimes we laughed, the madness of it making us giddy.
"They’ll hunt us forever," Mikael said one night, voice small in the dark. "We can’t go back."
“Then we don’t go back,” I said, surprising myself. “We find a place they won’t follow.”
“They always follow,” Tammy whispered.
But we kept going all the same.
---
### Chapter Six: Instincts
Weeks blurred together. We learned to shift faster, to control it. Sometimes, I’d catch Eli staring at his hands, as if unsure they belonged to him anymore. Carlos barely spoke, but without him, we wouldn’t have survived the first ambush; his clubbed tail had crushed their tranq drone like a soda can.
Food was a daily challenge. I’d wade into rivers, letting the Spinosaurus’ instincts guide me—jaws snapping down on flashing silver fish. In those moments, I was ancient. Powerful. Unafraid.
But every time I returned to my human form, the world felt… small. Human problems—hunger, cold, fear—crept back in.
Sam missed the sky the most. At dawn, he’d take to the air, Pteranodon wings sharp against the mist.
I envied him—envied them all, in a way.
---
### Chapter Seven: The Agency's Shadow
They didn’t give up. The Agency had resources, trackers, drones. They had our DNA; they knew our habits.
But they underestimated us.
We hacked their communications, picking up coded chatter. Mikael, with his raptor cleverness, had a knack for rerouting signals and scrambling heat signatures.
Tammy—always the loudest—proved to be the fiercest negotiator when we encountered outsiders. She bluffed our way into a ghost town’s library one night, claiming we were pre-graduate students in cosplay. The librarian didn’t ask questions. Nobody ever does after midnight.
Still, every night, I dreamt of teeth—of being hunted.
---
### Chapter Eight: Allies
Not everyone feared us. Some wanted to help. We found a group—scientists, activists, ex-TechOps—willing to listen, to hide us.
One of them, Dr. Singh, looked at me with awe and sadness. “You’re… not supposed to exist,” he whispered. “And yet, here you are. Rewriting everything we know about genetics, about history—about ourselves.”
He gave us stories, stolen files. The Agency was older than we thought—rooted in secret research spanning back decades. Project ReGenesis was just one in a long line of experiments.
“They wanted dinosaurs,” Carlos muttered. “But not the ones in movies. Real monsters. Us.”
But I wasn’t a monster—not really. Just a person in a body with too many teeth.
---
### Chapter Nine: Evolution
Winter came. Cold hurt more as a dinosaur; the big bodies radiated heat in all directions, easy to track.
We burrowed into an abandoned factory, found old generators, space heaters. We made our own camp, sharing stories by firelight.
Some days, we stayed shifted for hours—whole days, even. The lines blurred. I stopped missing who I’d been.
Sometimes, I’d stare at my hands, half-expecting scales to form.
It was Carlos, gentle, silent Carlos, who brought us back one night. “We’re still us,” he said. “No matter what body we wear.”
That became our code.
---
### Chapter Ten: The Showdown
The Agency finally caught up—in force, with tanks, mechs, and enough firepower to level the town.
We had no choice but to fight.
I shifted, feeling the old, wild power take hold. We carved a path through steel and flames, side by side. Eli shielded us from gunfire. Sam harried drones from above. Mikael and Tammy flanked the heavy vehicles, outmaneuvering them with speed and wit.
I crashed through their lines, jaws wide, feeling ancient and invincible.
By dawn, the compound was ruins. The Agency—all but dismantled.
But freedom had its cost. We couldn’t go back. The world would never trust us.
---
### Chapter Eleven: New Dawn
Now, months later, we live in the wild edges—half legend, half family. We protect each other, and sometimes, other runaways.
There are rumors of others—of children born different, of new projects left unfinished. Sometimes we search; sometimes, we let sleeping monsters lie.
I can shift at will now. It feels natural, like breathing.
But when I look in the river, I see both faces: Julian and Spinosaurus, ancient and afraid.
Both are me.
Both are free.
And that, for now, is enough.
---
## Epilogue
They said becoming a monster strips you of your humanity. But living as a Spinosaurus—wild, ancient, yet undeniably myself—taught me the opposite. Power doesn’t erase who you are; it reveals it.
We’re hunted. We’re different.
But we’re not extinct.
Not yet.
