Chapter 5
Cassie ran full speed down the crowded street, not caring who she hit or what she knocked over. She was in too much pain to think rationally as continue to barrel ahead. When she got to the statue of the Aerial Guardian, Cassie rolled over onto her side and began to cry again, occasionally uttering something like "It's not fair!" or "Why can't she let me live my life!" between sobs. She continued to cry until she felt something run over her side. Rolling over and erecting herself on her short, stubby legs, the Protoceratops looked up to see Cassandra Borland staring back into her emerald-green eyes.
"Why do you cry like that Castra?" she asked, her innocence radiating from her and touching the grieving saurian. Cassie stopped crying and tried to come up with a good explanation for her.
"Well," she started, "have you ever met someone that you thought was very special, even though you haven't known them that long . . . only to have someone tell you that you can't see them?" Cassandra shook her head as she was confused greatly by this. Too young to understand the concept of being in love was the young girl and she stopped there. But still Cassie was hurt deeply by this and wanted someone to talk to, so she nudged her gently, wanting Cassandra to put an arm around her. She did that, but the proto began to cry again. Cassie only wanted to be with Kalrix and her embrace had an opposite effect on her.
Just then, Cassie felt something brush her other side. She sniffed the air and found the familiar scent of the saurian she was with just the night before.
"Kalrix!" she bellowed. It was indeed Kalrix as he rushed up to nuzzle her, instantly relieving all that had bothered Cassie the short time ago. Unknown to them, Bix was watching them as they began cooing and talking to each other. That's when it hit her . . . this was very much like how her relationship with her previous mate named Casper began. She stood there with her head lowered in shame, knowing that there was nothing she could do to stop them. It took a little bit of time and a lot of courage, but Bix approached the happy pair and cleared her throat.
"Castra, I'm sorry I got upset at you earlier," she said, "I didn't think of what made you happy and only what I thought was right for you. You have definitely found a worthy mate in Kalrix here and I wish you two luck. Remember that one raindrop raises the sea and make sure you set your path in life the way you want it to be." With that, the three protoceratopses conversed and walked through the city that they loved and held dear to their hearts.
