Chapter 16 : " Revange "
Time was passing by as we stayed there. We lived in peace alone and not disturbed for over a year. I was now an adult, young, patient and willing to learn more with each day.
The family got stronger as well. John, Calista and Maugrim became young adults as well and Roody was about to be an young adult as well. We alsaw got 2 new family members that folllwed Kalash and Darkee to ouer new home after they saved them from a spinosaur that was about to kill them. They were both males a bit older then Orchid.
They were brothers. One of them was bright brown in general with some darker spots on his belly as well as dark brown nearly black face with grey strips going across it, his name is Khahasin. Other one looked nearly the same only diffrance was that his spots were white on the belly and he had bright grey stips across his back, he alsaw had more scars then Khahasin. His name is Kharhir.
Since i became adult i was training realy hard get faster, stronger, smarter.
Thanks to some hunting tricks i learned from Kalash my hunts were incredibly succesful.
The dry season just finished luckyly no predator was powerful enought or stupid to attack such group like ouer family.
Now we even have nests build up so noone is sleeping on ground anymore.
Mostly when i woke up i getting a drink of water and i'm moveing the mountan to small flat area. From that spot i can see everythink around us. I was too busy looking around to see that Roody had come up to my spot.
"Hi Sky how you doing ?" he asked.
"Oh hi Roody did not saw you comeing, and thanks i'm doing good" i answered.
"You sure those clawmarks from yesterday hunt dont hurt ?" he asked gently.
"Yeap i'm sure, it was just a scrach, that cerato did not knew where to hit me to actualy hurt me" i replied smileing.
"Hehe yeah you are right" sayed Roody.
"Anyways mom wanted to see you" he added and turned around walking down hill.
"Alright i'm comeing" i said standing up.
When i made it to the clearing Enna was already waiting for me.
"Oh there you are Sky" she said as soon as she spoted me.
"Hi mom! What happend that you called me ?" i asked walking out of the bushes.
"Kalash wanted to take you, Khahasin and Kharhir to a see if a herd of shants is back to ouer old spot" explained Enna.
"Ok mom! Where is Kalash then ?" i asked looking around.
"He will soon be back he went with his sister down to the pond to take a drink" Enna replied.
"Alright. I'll wait" i said and layed down close to the river.
As i layed there i was thinking about ouer old den and if the rexes are still there. I would like to go back there.
My thoughts were interrupted by a voice calling from my right.
"Come here Snacky" said Kalash.
'Ughh here we go again with Snacky. I hate when he calls me like this, but who am i to change it' i talked to myself as i moved towards Kalash.
"Ok. Comeing" i replied.
"We are moveing, are you ready ?" he asked.
"Yeap, ready" i answered.
"Lets move then i want to be back before sunset" said Kalash.
As we moved down the river we arived to ouer old spot it was as silient and abandoned as at the day we left it.
"Soo ... what now ?" asked Kharhir.
"We will look around for a bit and come back" answered Kalash.
"We will go north" said Khahasin.
"Certainly not! Noone gose enywhere near gulf!" growled Kalash.
"B-but why?" asked Khahasin.
"Because its dangerous" explained Kalash.
"Whats down ther then?!" asked Kharhi.
"Death" answered Kalash walking away.
Noone asked any more questions. We started to look around but we found nothink not even scent.
After a while of serching we decided to go back. We were about to leave when Kalash stoped in his spot sniffing the air.
"What is it Kalash?" asked Kharhi.
"Shh. Dont talk just listen" i said as i started to look around.
After a while of tension Kalash finaly spoke up.
"We need to get back home, NOW!"
"What did you smalled?" asked Khahasin.
"You dont want to know" replied Kalash.
By then i knew what that was ... rexes.
We start to move faster then before nearly running.
When we were about half way there the think we did not want to meat just runned out of the forest to ouer left.
"Split up" said Kalash and everyone started to running.
We were attacked by 6 adult rexes. We got grately outnumbered. Five of those rexes runned after Kalash, Khahasin and Kharhi and one was after me. I started to have déjà vu when i runned into the forest and rex was closely behide me. This time i got sick of always running away. It was time to strike back.
I took a tight turn behide tree and jumped up on the rex side to make it fall. First part of the plan worked out the next one ... not so much. Rex was still standing. I quickly climed on its back to avoid being grabbed in its jaws and as soon as i stood on top of the rex i started to biteing its neck and slashing its back with my claws.
"Get of me you crazy fool" yealped rex.
"You can dream about it" i growled in respond.
After a while of trying, rex succeed and throw me off of him.
"Try that again" said rex bleeding all over from his neck and back.
"Beter go now while youyou can walk" i growled threatning the rex.
"Ha ! You think you can threat me just because you got luck and slashed me few times" said rex like if i did nothink to it.
We keeped on fighting for a long while. The rex was desperately trying to get the air while i still had plenty of stamina, looks like play fighting with John all this time was worth it after all.
"Give up and walk away. Its last chance" i said standing proude.
"Never! I rather die then be on a merci of a weakling like you!" growled rex.
"As you wish" i said and ouer battle continued.
'I will fake a bite on his back so he will stuck as he will try to bite me and i will get his throat and end this fight' i formed a plan inside my head and begain the attack.
It went smooth, rex had catched a bait and i got his throat.
"AHH get ... off" said rex being bearly able to breathe.
I just tightened my jaws harder and i finaly cut rex's life vein. He finaly fell down on the ground. Out of adrenalin and blood gushing down my throat i could not lose the grip on rex's neck.
When i was laying there Enna, Kalash, Orchid and Lynx came running towards me.
"Sky! Sky are you alright!?" said Enna.
When i heard her voice i finaly let the neck go.
"M-mom?" i said confused.
"What are you doing here?!" i added.
"When me, Khahasin and Kharhi got back to the den we realised you are not here. We were sure made it before us" answered Kalash.
"So we came here with back up" said Lynx.
"We alsaw took down other five rexes" added Orchid.
"But looks like you did not needed back up" said Kalash seeing i had killed the rex.
"Quite impresive" he added.
"Th-thank you" i replied.
"Where did you got wounded" asked Enna inspecting me.
"T-thats not mine blood its rex's" i answered shakeing after adrenaline rush went out.
"Come on let me help you go back to the den" said Enna only supporting me since i was too big and heavy to be carried around any more.
"Thank you mom" i said as i tryed to stood up by my own.
"Lynx, Orchid help me drag this body" said Kalash as he moved to the rex and started to pull it.
We walked for almost an houer makeing sure nothink is following us. It was some houer after noon when we made it. Chaos and Maddie were eating the rexes that got killed after they followed Kalash to the den.
"Hi everyone" i said as we arived.
"Oh good to see you Sky. Are you ok?" asked Haute.
"Yeap i'm good" i answered.
"I see you got another rex" said Baltier to Kalash.
"Think is we did not do enythink" respond Kalash.
"What do you mean?" asked Jaiden.
"When we ariver rex was already dead. Sky got him by his own" said Orchid proudely walking up to me.
"Wait w-what?!" asked at the same time Baltier, Jaiden, Kharhi and his brother Khahasin surprised.
"Hows that even possible?!" added Kharhi.
"You will need to ask Sky that. When we arived we just saw a dead rex and Sky still haveing tight grip on its neck" answered Lynx and at the same time my legs started to shake and i colapsed.
"Oh looks like you will know it tommorow" said Enna as she saw i was bearly standing.
She then helped me stood up and walk me up to my nest where i layed.
"Actualt i can tell you now in short and maybe with a bit more details tommorow" i said to which Baltier respond.
"So what you waiting for tell us the story of your fight heh"
"More like revange" said Kalash.
"So when i was running away i got sick of it and decided to top it over which failed but i started to bite its neck but it manage to throw me off so i tired the rex insted and used the trees to my advantage and when i grabed it throat i cut its life vein" i said proude of myself.
"Ha! Good job snacky" said Kalash.
"Will you even stop calling me like that?" i asked looking at the ground.
"Why would i? It fits you well" he answered mockingly.
I just sigh at it as i knew argueing wont fix it.
"If you dont mind i would want to rest" i said getting comfortably in my nest.
"Kalash let him rest" said Darkee to her brother.
"Eh ... ok" he answered as he moved to his sister.
Soon after i layed there just resting my eyelids got heavy and i fel asleep.
