Terrance's Story: New Word Chapter 15

Sorry for the delay. Couldn't log in this morning. 

Enjoy

Independence

Terrance half ran, half walked to where he heard the roars coming from. When he got there, Thorn was on the ground, unconscious, and the siblings were looking at her, deciding what to do. Terrance roared at them, and they turned and roared back. Terrance attacked the male, and after nearly biting his head off in his anger, Terrance attacked the female. He bit her snout and bit down hard, cracking it all over in the front section. She pulled out when there was no bone for Terrance to grip on anymore, and both ran away.

Terrance turned to Thorn, who was still on the ground, on the verge of death. He sniffed her, nudged her, everything he could think of to wake her up. When she didn't, he thought she was dead, and walked away, more determined than ever to kill them. As he walked, he roared at the top of his lungs, scaring everything away for miles, and then went to get a meal.

He had noticed the Torvosaurus that Thorn killed, and figured Thorn had done that. He began eating, and wondering if he had always been too protective with her. He saw that she had put up a fight with the siblings, and he knew that she was better on her own than he had thought. After eating, he went to sleep in a cave they had found.

Thorn woke up several days later, having not been disturbed by anything big or small because Terrance's angry roar had scared everything away. She had several broken ribs, a small fracture in some of her vertebrae, and her bottom jaw was fractured. She went looking for a meal, and immediately thought of the Torvosaurus. When she saw it had been half eaten, she figured Terrance had been there earlier, and began eating.

When she finished, she went looking for Terrance, unaware that he had went elsewhere days earlier. When she didn't find him, she looked around the surrounding area, figuring that Terrance would be nearby. After searching for a few hours, she gave up and went hunting.

Terrance and Thorn both realized that they could survive without the other, but preferred to be together. They didn't realize that they would reunite almost a year later, just in time to meet Tommy and Sammy again.
