Terrance's Story: New World Chapter 11 + 12

Sorry for the delay, I was busy yesterday, and when I got home, I was tired, and babysitting my siblings didn't help. I hope this makes up for the delay, and had there been a cliffhanger at the end of 11, I would have honoured it and posted two chapters tomorrow. 

Enjoy

New Prey

About a month later, Terrance and Thorn were hungry, and the Edmontosaurus herd had left, leaving Terrance and Thorn to find a new food source. They looked around, checking clearings, rivers, swamps, and other places they normally saw food. After a while, they settled on a Diplodocus that was in a clearing. Terrance had never killed one before, so he went to check it out.

He walked up to it, and noticed he was at about chest level, and he couldn't reach the neck. He also noticed that it seemed pretty light considering its size. He thought of how he could use its lightweight build against it, and decided to try and ram it from the side. He went to the edge of the clearing, and charged. The Diplodocus tipped sideways, and when it hit the ground, Terrance finished it off.

Thorn had seen that, but she also wanted to kill something. She saw a Stegosaurus in the same clearing, and decided to try to kill it. She looked at it, trying to figure out the best way to kill it, only having vague memories of the first time they had seen one. She saw it always faced her sideways, swinging its tail. She knew she had to avoid the tail at all costs, and went straight for its head. It swung it's tail, and Thorn managed to duck. She didn't see it coming back, and hit her thigh. Terrance was watching, and walked over when Thorn was hit. Thorn limped back, and the Stegosaurus went to hit her again. Just as the Stegosaurus began to swing it's tail, it felt a sharp pain in the middle. Terrance had bit it's tail, and gave Thorn enough time to get out of the way before he let go and went for its head. Terrance bit the Stegosaurus's head, and it died quickly.

They started eating, and when the Stegosaurus was done, they went to the Diplodocus. They were mad at each other, Terrance because Thorn wandered off and got hurt, and Thorn because she wanted some independence. When they ate their fill, they walked back to their territory.

And here's Chapter 12, enjoy.

Sammy and Tommy

Several years later, Terrance and Thorn are walking through their territory, looking for threats, and food. It's a windy day, and they are walking against the wind, anything behind almost completely concealed. Terrance sensed something, and a roar of pain from Thorn got his attention. He turned around, and saw a Giganotosaurus had bit Thorn's leg. He attacked the Giga, and it let go of Thorn, and she fell when her leg buckled. She was alive, but had blacked out. Terrance and the Giga looked at each other, and Terrance wanted to get between Thorn and the Giga. He mock charged, and the Giga sidestepped, allowing Terrance to get where he wanted to. The Giga slashed at Terrance, and Terrance ducked and headbutted it, sending it back some. Terrance walked up to it, and it slashed again, and Terrance went to bite. This repeated for several minutes, the whole time they were walking back and forth.

When Thorn woke up, she managed to stand up and roar at the Giga, knowing Terrance could use the help. The Giga ran at her and bit her neck, and Terrance bit the Giga's neck, killing it instantly. Terrance turned to Thorn, who was standing, but clearly putting more weight on her good leg. Terrance looked at her leg for a minute, and then she lied down, not hungry at the moment, and knowing that even Terrance couldn't eat the whole Giga on his own.

Terrance was about to lay down, when he heard flesh ripping from the carcass. He growled at whatever was eating his kill, and two small dinosaurs looked up. One was a Spinosaurus, Sammy, and the other was a Tyrannosaurus, Tommy. Terrance watched as Tommy looked around, and then nudged Sammy and they left. Terrance wasn't too happy about his kill being eaten by something else, so he went to eat, and joined by Thorn, who was feeling really hungry all of a sudden. They ate all but a few scraps of the kill, and went off in search of something else to eat.

They came across a herd of Edmontosaurus, and they were already running. Terrance didn't know why, but he didn't care, and attacked the closest one to him. He killed it fairly fast, and when he looked over, he saw Sammy and Tommy, but ignored them because they weren't a threat to him, and they had a kill of their own. Thorn limped out, and she began to eat with Terrance. The next time Terrance looked up was when he felt vibrations. He saw Tommy and Sammy running at them, and then he saw a Charcarodontosaurus chasing them. He roared at the Charcarodontosaurus, Carl, and he also roared at Tommy and Sammy for leading Carl towards him and Thorn. He charged at Carl, and they both stopped completely, Carl on the ground, and Terrance winded. When Terrance caught his breath, he picked Carl up and threw him to the side, and Carl ran away.

Terrance turned around, and he was going to chase Sammy and Tommy, but didn't want to leave Thorn alone. They continued eating, and when they finished, went back to their territory for a drink.

Hope this makes up for the delay.
