Terrance's Story: Jurassic Park Chapter 13

Terrance and Thorn

Several hours after being knocked out, Terrance woke up. He stood up, and after the dizziness subsided, he looked around and saw Thorn. She had went to sleep next to him, and she was still asleep, so Terrance left her alone while he tried to figure out what happened. He knew something hit him hard and knocked him out, but he didn't know what. Terrance's whole face stung from the blast of the rocket, as well as a bit from Muldoon's .50 cal.

Thorn woke up an hour after Terrance, and he was still growling in pain, anger and frustration. Terrance was facing away from her, and she gave a soft growl to get his attention. Terrance turned around and looked at her, and Thorn jumped back, seeing all Terrance's wounds for the first time. Skin was flaking off his snout, his face was a bloody mess, and his left eye barely survived the blast, but it was swollen shut at the moment. On the left side of his jaws, Terrance's gums were exposed where the skin was blown off, and most of his teeth were cracked, chipped or missing.

Terrance saw Thorn had freaked out about something, and he turned to face it. When he didn't see anything, he thought it was him that scared her. He lied down, and Thorn licked his wounds. Terrance closed his eye and took a deep breath, happy to see that Thorn still cares about him.

An hour later, they went hunting. They walked to the watering hole, and they saw the Triceratops herd. Thorn walked out, and the herd recognized her as a Tyrannosaurus. A few members ran away, knowing that an adult would be close by.

Terrance ran out of the tree line and attacked the slowest Triceratops, bringing it to a complete stop. Thorn was at his side a few seconds later, and she started attacking the Triceratops. When Thorn backed off, Terrance let go and went for a better grip. He managed to bite behind the frill when Thorn distracted the Triceratops, and it was dead a few seconds later.

They both ate, happy that they have a meal that will last them a week or so. They went for a drink, and the Brachiosaurus herd showed up and tried to drive them away from the watering hole. Thorn hid behind Terrance, and Terrance looked up at the Brachiosaurus and growled. The Brachiosaurus herd backed off when they saw Terrance's face. Terrance and Thorn finished drinking, and then went to sleep at the carcass.
