The Story of Cleo, Episode 4: The Crocodile Hunter Becomes the Hunted

Cleo is growing older, and now she is seventeen feet long. She is a very successful crocodile killer, an experienced fisher, and a good swimmer. Cleo smells something coming towards her and her territory. She sees an Eocarcharia coming to her. Cleo faces it, and roars at the Eocarcharia. The Eocarcharia roars back, and shows that it is not going to back down without a fight. Cleo uses her speed to get in and slash at he Eocarcharia's nose, then back up before any damage could befall her. The Eocarcharia runs in, but Cleo jumps over it. She then turns around and bites the back of the Eocarcharia's leg. The Eocarcharia runs forwards to escape Cleo's jaws, and he turns around to slash Cleo's face with his claws. Cleo is hit hard, but she quickly recovers, and slams into the Eocarcharia. The Eocarcharia is pushed back and falls, but quickly gets up and bites Cleo on the side. Cleo roars and tries to get free, and she eventually does. After freeing herself, she turns to face the Eocarcharia, and makes a calculated jump onto its back. She then read her long hind claws agains the back of the Eocarcharia, who throws her off. She turns to face the Eocarcharia, but as she does, gets headbutted right in the side, breaking many ribs. The Cleo roars in pain and falls. The Eocarcharia walks over to where Cleo is, and is about to crush her with his weight, when Cleo lashes out with her leg, catching the Eocarcharia's throat. The Eocarcharia backs up, sucking in air. Cleo sees this and gets up. She runs over to the Eocarcharia, and bites down on its neck. She shakes her head up and down, side to side, and sinks her teeth in deep enough to cut open the jugular, killing the Eocarcharia. A couple years later, Cleo is becoming a very good hunter, especially when a herd of Ouranosaurus stop near her territory. She is about 20 feet long, and it is a normal day for Cleo, she caught a few fish, a Kaprosuchus, and now she is hunting a large Ceolacanth. She runs into the water and grabs it with her hands and mouth. As she drags it back to shore, she notices the fish scatter. She doesn't pay much attention to it until she gets to the shore. She still doesn't see any fish in the water. Normally they come back after she leaves the water, but not today. Cleo sees a disturbance in the water, then she sees a snout. An image flashes back through her head. The jaws of a Spinosaurus about to bite her mother, but she also remembers a sail, and when the animal emerges from the water, there is no sail. She does see and adult Suchomimus, and it wants to kill her. Cleo is fast, and has great reaction time, but the Suchomimus is also fast, and before Cleo can react, the Suchomimus is already very close to her and swinging his arm at her. Cleo tries to jump out of the way, but she is still caught by the Suchomimis's large hand claw. She is sent flying and lands hard. She has many broken bones, but this was just the beginning. The Suchomimus is upon her before she can get up, and it bites down on her. The Suchomimus lifts Cleo up in his jaws and throws her very far. Cleo isn't killed by the bite because of the Suchomimus's weak jaw strength, and the landing doesn't kill her either, but she has many broken bones. She gets up in excruciating pain, only to be hit by the tip of the Suchomimus's snout, hard. She is once again sent flying, and lands with a thud. Cleo is seeing spots and barely moving. Her speed and light frame worked against her today. The Suchomims hits her with his arm and rakes his claws across Cleo. The impact if the arm broke most unbroken bones, and the claws cut up bone with ease. Cleo is going in and out of unconsciousness, and now black is taking up more of her vision. The last thing she sees before blacking out is the jaws of the Suchomimus coming closer to her. The Suchomimus is about to bite Cleo, when two angry adult Deltadromeus run at the Suchomimus and jump on its side. The Deltadromeus are not heavy, but they were going so fast that they created a lot of force, and it knocked the Suchomimus over. The Suchomimus landed and broke ribs, but worse were to come to him. The two Deltadromeus tear into the neck and belly of the Suchomimus, and they don't stop until one of the Deltadromeus rips its heart out and step on it. The two Deltadromeus now walk over to their only child, Cleo, and though she is unconscious, Cleo can tell that her parents, Chase and Clarice, are here. A couple days later, when Cleo finally wake up, she sees her parents watching over her, and she looks around to see the dead Suchomimus, and a large piece of meat in front of her. She still has most of her bone broken, but they will heal. Clarice and Chase are there to look over her, and bring her back to full health.
