Terrance's Story: New Word Chapter 17 + 18

Decided to post two chapter today because they're both pretty short. 

Enjoy

Chapter 17

Together Again

Terrance got to the east side of the mountain, and saw enough food to last for years. He quickly got a kill and began eating. Before he could take more than a bite, he was challenged by an Allosaurus pair. He roared at the top of his lungs, and the Allosaurs roared back, ready for a fight to the death, having not eaten in weeks.

Thorn had heard the roar, an unmistakeable roar that she had only heard once, during the battle with the pair. She had a flashback to that moment.

She had been fighting the female, the sibling's mother, and was about to get killed by her when Terrance stood up and gave that exact roar. She remembered the lightning flashing, the blood dripping off his teeth, his heavy breathing, and the look of anger in his eyes.

Thorn walked to where she heard the roar, and when she got there, the two Allosaurus lay dead, and Terrance was ripping at the Edmontosaurus. Thorn went to where Terrance was, and when he looked up at her, recognized her immediately and they bumped snouts, rubbed necks, and gave a friendly growl. Terrance was amazed Thorn had survived the battle, but glad that she survived on her own. Thorn was happy to see Terrance, and was surprised by the amount of scars he had obtained since she last saw him. They began to eat together for the first time in almost a year, and they enjoyed being together again.

Alone, Terrance and Thorn were an impressive sight, and nearly unstoppable in a fight, together, they are nearly invincible.

Chapter 18

Thorn's Territory

After they ate, Terrance and Thorn walked around the borders of her territory. Terrance was impressed, and it went from the mountain to a lake about twenty miles away.

They stopped for a drink at the river, and decided to follow the river, it being in Thorn's territory, and them having nothing else to do. They walked for a few minutes along it, and eventually, they came across a familiar scent. Terrance smelled Sammy and Tommy, and Thorn sensed them too shortly after. When they saw Sammy and Tommy, they got defensive, and Terrance walked over to Sammy. Sammy freaked out and slashed Terrance, which led to him pushing him into the river. Sammy had been carried down a few miles before getting to the shore.

Tommy looked at Terrance and Thorn and ran away, fearing he would be killed otherwise. Terrance and Thorn look at each other, confused, and continue walking around the area, eventually stopping to rest in a clearing.
