The Story of Cleo, Episode 5: The Race for Survival

Cleo, with the help of her parents, has made a good recovery. She gets up for the first time in a long while, and she starts walking around. She starts doing a bit of running to get her legs back in top condition. Running is very important to the life of a Deltadromeus. She goes over to the carcass of an Ouranosaurus, and starts to eat from it. She savors every bite because she hasn't had an Ouranosaurus in years, eating only fish and Kaprosuchus for a long time. She looks over to her parents, who are looking into the woods. Cleo feels that something is wrong, and she looks into the wood with her parents. A large Bahariasaurus walks into view and roars at the family of Deltadromeus. Clarice and Chase roar back at it, not going to back down. The Bahariasaurus, very similar to Deltadromeus, runs forwards, and just as it was about to slam into Chase, Cleo jumped onto its side. Toppling it, and breaking many of its light bones. As Clarice and Chase go over their usual attack by opening up the belly and throat, the Bahariasaurus lashes out with its leg, driving its toe claws deep into the nearest Deltadromeus, which happened to be Clarice. The Bahariasaurus gets up, but Chase is in to attack it. The Bahariasaurus swings its arm and hits Chase dead on. Knocking him to the ground. Cleo comes in to attack and bites the throat of the Bahariasaurus, but is quickly shaken off. She recovers to see the Bahariasaurus, angry at her, running towards her. She runs away at top speed, but the Bahariasaurus has a light body frame, and stronger leg muscles, so it is faster than Cleo. just not by much. Cleo is running at top speed, but the Bahariasaurus is slowly gaining. Chase and Clarice don't want to lose their child again, and chase after the Bahariasaurus. It is a very hot day, and Cleo is already starting to feel the effects. Her body temperature is rising. She sees a tree up ahead, and moves to the left. The Bahariasaurus follows. Cleo keeps on running, but she is getting very hot. He can't stop because if she does, the Bahariasaurus will get her, no her parents are nowhere to be seen. The Bahariasaurus is right behind her now, but Cleo give off a burst of speed. She is overheating now, and starting to see spots, but she keeps on going. Cleo inside is on burning. Her internal temperature is becoming dangerously hot, and of she doesn't slow down soon, she will have a problem besides the Bahariasaurus. Suddenly, the Bahariasaurus drops to the ground, lurching and gasping for breath. It had the same problem as Cleo, but he is bigger, and makes more heat faster. The edges of Cleo's vision is turning black, and she lays down. The Bahariasaurus stops moving, and Cleo can tell, it is dead. The heat got to it, and Cleo dangerously hot too. She sees a large river nearby, and she musters up all her strength, painfully stands up, and walks into the river. Relief is almost instantaneous. The water is only slightly cold, but Cleo is so hot that the water felt like ice. She bolts out of the water, shivering because of the sudden temperature change. Her heart has calmed down her and her temperature returned to normal by the time her parents showed up. They had to take breaks every once and a while so their temperature doesn't rise too high. Cleo Chase and Clarice decide to take the area by the river as their new territory. Having lost their old one as they chased the Bahariasaurus.
