Here is a little preview of my fic, Dark Future.
Just a little warning before you read, there's going to be blood, violence and death.
Understand, this is the way I like my fics most, and that's what I mainly aim for.
---------------
An icy chill surrounded the area. It was cold. Cold enough for your breath to be seen, but not cold enough for snow. Still, it was cold. Cold, except for the hot southern wind that blew with the smell of smoke. Several trees around the dark area had caught fire. Fire, which was caused by lightning from the dark clouds that covered the whole valley above, which blocked the stars from anyone's view. Clouds that produced lightning, but no rain. Intermitted moonlight shone through the area. Trees of a forest were knocked down and burning. The fire was spreading, engulfing the forest. The trees were not knocked down by fire, but by some sort of creature. Creatures that left spread-out three toed footprints in the ground.
A long-necked dinosaur, an Apatosaurus, that was taller than most of the trees in the valley, lowered his head down, examining the destroyed area. The footprints caught his eye. He recognized them very well. He had run into them many times in his life. So much experience growing up having to deal with these beings taught him how to deal with them. Behind him stood four figures, each nearly cloaked in the darkness of the night and a completely different species of a dinosaur. The Apatosaurus only gave the group behind him a silent nod, confirming what they believed it to be. The gang of five continued on south. The footprints were quite fresh. The threat was close.
The fire continued to spread. The blaze burned through the valley like a natural wildfire. Residents ran as fast as they could away from the intensely hot deadly flames and throat clogging smoke, screaming it terror. However, they were mainly running from another threat at hand.
Nearby, several raptors held the various pieces of wood that had fire in the earlier forest they attacked in their claw like hands. They threw the fire-sticks at the many dinosaurs, barely missing due to bad aim. A Tyrannosaurus Rex nearby held a small tree that was on fire and continued to light the forest, making all that were hiding to run away in fear.
Producing three-toed footprints in the ground, giving chase to the residents, a duck-billed dinosaur, male to be exact, that was highly different from the Parasaurolophus kind he was related to. He sniffed the air like a hunting dog searching for the scent of his prey. He was after something. The thing he was after looked like he did.
Behind a large rock a female adult Parasaurolophus stood with her back against the boulder, her whole body shaking in fear. Due to the size of the rock she was hidden well and she could not be seen by plain sight. However, that did not save her. She was unfortunately in heat at this time of the season, and the smell of that gave her away. Something suddenly grabbed her by the neck and held her tightly. At least the hold on her neck wasn’t tight enough to stop her from breathing. She let out a screaming cry of help. Upon response, the full fledged sharp-tooth that looked like her species slashed her across the face, the claws digging deep into the skin and making blood gush out.
“Stop screaming like a tail-wagger and take this like a real swimmer!” He spat disgustedly.
The female was a bit offended by what he called her, but the fear in her seemed to destroy the offensiveness she had. The male then moved into position near the one little place on the female was only allowed for a mate to go near. Nearby, in fact right next to them, a raptor watched them in great fascination.
A shadow shifted.
Pain exploded into him as a connected fist that hit his face made him go flying away and knock right into the nearby raptor. They went some distance before somersaulting backward onto their backs. The two dinosaurs got up and now saw a female Saurolophus in front of the one that he was about to do his little experiment on. She was indeed different from the brownish one she was protecting. The irises of her eyes were as blue as a well missed clear day sky and her skin was as green as a leaf from a well-nourished tree in summer time.
The male Parasaurolophus stood up and stared angrily at her. His orange like skin made him seem to almost blend in with the surrounding flames that were about. The difference with him was quite obvious. Sharp teeth and claws, and that wasn’t even the most unusual thing. The one thing that made it obvious of how unusual he was out of all things, were his eyes. The eyes had no pupil… no iris… there was nothing but the white.
He turned his head to the raptor nearby. The raptor was huge. A scary forty feet tall lightly built, fast moving, agile, bipedal and bird-like. His skin was as blue as the vast ocean, and yet, he was an abnormality himself. His eyes offered no pupil… no iris… there was nothing but the white.
“Get that fake!” He ordered the raptor.
The raptor obeyed and charged right towards the green female. He got close to the new prey. The female waited until the right moment. The raptor was about to slash at her. She suddenly grabbed the powerful right claw that was about to rip at her flesh. The raptor tried to counter with his left claw, but it was quickly grabbed as well. She may’ve been slightly smaller then the raptor, a mere two inches at most, but she was stronger, much stronger. She was able to take complete control of the right arm and plunge it into the chest cavity of the unusual raptor. The razor sharp claws ripped through the skin and pierced the heart. She then let the now dead creature fall. Blood oozing out and soaking the ground below.
Seeing his teammate lying there dead, the sharp-fanged Parasaurolophus was completely shocked. Of course, it was rather difficult to tell that there was fear in his eyes with them being all white. However, the fear was definitely there.
There was a formality to the one that had killed his teammate. Unfortunately, he couldn’t place where he had seen her before.
Suddenly, he heard thunder around him. He looked around and there was no lightning proceeding from the clouds at the moment to produce the thunder. Which meant something big was coming his way. At that point he suddenly met his end. He couldn’t even tell what it was that ended his life. The last thing he remembered was seeing something suddenly shrouding him in shadows before plunging into eternal darkness.

That's as far as I've gotten.
Do not think of me as lazy, as I've been busy with other fics. (About 6 others.) Also, I'm not that focused on doing this fic as I am on one other fic.
So, what do you think so far?
And to those who have issues with length, just remember, the chapter isn't finished yet, so it still has some length to go.
Please give me your most honest reviews.
See ya later.
