The Story of Cleo, Episode 6: The Kill

A couple months after the incident with the Bahariasaurus, Cleo and her family are doing very well. The are looking for food when they hear a large crashing sound. They go towards it, and find, in a large plain, a herd of Aegyptosaurus. They would ignore it, but they see a young one about 30 feet long alone at the back of the herd. They are hungry, and in a small pack, so they decide to attack the sauropod. They all rush to the herbivore, and jump onto its sides. Cleo and her family drive their claws deep into the sides of the Aegyptosaurus. The sauropod tries to shake the Deltadromeus off, and eventually succeeds. Chase is thrown off, followed by Cleo and then Clarice. Cleo bites the back leg of the sauropod, and claws at it, leaving deep wounds. Chase tries to bite the sauropod's front leg, but it rears back onto its back legs, and crashes back down, landing on Chase, and killing him. Clarice sees her mate being killed, and a wave of anger surges through her body. Clarice jumps onto the sauropod's back and bite its neck. In her rage, she doesn't notice that the mother of the sauropod had come over to where she is, or the tail swinging through the air until it is too late. The mother Aegyptosaurus hits Clarice dead on, and sends her flying. Clarice lands hard, and is killed. Cleo just stands there as she sees her parents get killed. The mother sauropod, with her child, walk away from the scene, completely forgetting Cleo. The anger and loss hits her hard. She looks at the sauropod that killed her mother. Her conscious tells her that it is suicide to attack the sauropod, but her anger wins her over. Cleo screams bloody murder at the sauropod and charges it. The sauropod turns to face Cleo, and swings her tail. It hits Cleo, and she is sent flying. Then everything goes black. Cleo wakes up several weeks later to find that she is not dead. She is on the ground, and she can tell that, once again, most of her bones are broken. Luckily for her, only a bit of the tail hit her, and it wasn't enough to kill this Deltadromeus. She slips back into unconsciousness, and doesn't awake up for several days. She wakes up to see a battle between the mother Aegyptosaurus, who apparently hasn't left the area, and a Charcaradontosaurus. She watches as the Charcaradontosaurus slams into the Aegyptosaurus and knocks it over, then proceeds to kill it. She notices that she was knocked into some bushes when she was hit by the Aegyptosaurus, and hasn't been found by anything yet. She is tired, and healing takes a lot of energy, so she goes to sleep. She wakes up about a week later to find a searing pain in her torso. Cleo opens her eyes to find she is being carried the same Charcaradontosaurus that killed the Aegyptosaurus, which had already been eaten. She screams, and the Charcharadontosaurus is so surprised to find her alive, that it drops her. She lands, and finds her legs are mostly healed. She runs away form the Charcaradontosaurus, who just stands there, paralyzed from the suprise. Cleo runs until her legs practically give out. She is very hungry and walks off to find a river to fish from.
