The blind beasts showed great interest in wanting to cause bodily harm, the dead crocodile no doubt would bring further problems as well as Jr being there. By showing weakness, the blind beast were never to far behind.
One of the majungasaurus charged forward releasing a animalistic roar as saliva and drool escaped its mouth full of razor sharp teeth. Hannibal glared fast as he threw his head up, the curved looking blades on each side of his mouth sliced into the side of the majungasaurus. Blood poured from the wound, Hannibal had delivered a deep gash upon its neck.
Gurgling the animal fell to the floor, the others of the pack charged in. The pack numbers they would use to their advantage. Hannibal was quick to meet them half way, his powerful jaws grabbed one of the majungasaurus by the head. Narrowing his eyes did he use his strength to lift up the wild beast and throw it at the others.
This fight had drawn the attention of Tyra and Jr who both watched Hannibal fight with great strength and precision. To fight like that, he must of had a lot of fighting experience.
The majungasaurus pack were slowly recovering from the blow of having one of their own thrown at them. Hannibal used this to his advantage as he charged in, stabbing one of the beast into its side. The shrill call the majungasaurus made was painful and brutal, it continued its call until Hannibal threw it to the side with those blades that were on his mouth. The poor animal squirmed on the floor once it hit the ground, his size intimidated the others as they ran off. It was not much of a battle, it was more or less a small fray.
The pack though blind to emotions and feelings knew when to flee. Though sometimes they would stand and fight, it merely depended upon them. Blind beasts were always a constant threat and should never be taken lightly.
Tyra laughed as the pack fled, Jr on the other hand looked at Hannibal with great interest and respect. The blades upon Hannibal were bloody but were clearly effective in combat. Mutations could clearly help in a serious fight if you knew how to use them.
The youngster looked at his legs, he still felt pain and he hated feeling weak. To be so tiny and helpless was something he despised, he wanted to be bigger and fight!
Hannibal snorted loudly as he watched the pack flee, he looked at Tyra and Jr making sure they were okay. "You maybe stubborn but you know how to fight!", laughed Tyra.
Hannibal merely snorted before looking at Jr, "You feeling alright there?"
Jr looked at him, he then looked down. "I want to be like you."
Tyra sort of smiled, "Two of Hannibal maybe asking a bit to much?"
Hannibal sort of smiled, "If you want to be like me, then here is my advice. Don't give up, even though you know you may die. Fight."
Jr looked at him with wide eyes, he nodded strongly with a fire in his eyes. "Fight."
Tyra looked at the two of them before shaking her head, "I'll never understand males."
Hannibal closed his eyes with a small smile as he turned around to pick up the crocodile that he had killed. "Let's eat."
Tyra nodded as she smiled at Jr, the youngster grinned. He had motivation and it was thanks to Hannibal. Jr didn't want to be entirely like his father, he wanted to be himself. The youngster wanted to fight and be respected, he wanted to show the world that he could do anything and nothing would stop him.
Scarface blinked looking from the distance, he picked up the scent of blood. "Something died."
Bloodmaw looked outward, "So, it seems."
Ruby looked around, she was a little on edge for being in a new area. Helm took notice of a fairly large meadow in the distance, he could see water as well. "The blood be coming from over there."
Ebony looked at him, "Should we check it out?"
Swiftscale nodded, "I think so, I just hope it isn't Jr's blood."
Scarface looked at him before walking forward, "Let's go."
Bloodmaw nodded as he followed after him, the small group continued in the direction of the blood. Since they were looking for Jr, they hoped that it was not his blood.
The day brought peace for a certain carnotaurus, she would probably never feel safe again for a while due to what she had seen. The Evil One was a horrific sight to witness, she also had to be careful since she was sure Goliath was still looking for her.
Goliath's words still rang in her head, the Evil One had the same striped markings that she had but the beast was a different color compared to her. Was she related to that monster?
The little rex continued to remain near her, it squeaked at her in a talkative manner. She couldn't help but smile at the little rex, only cause he looked so harmless. Offspring were harmless, it was when they got older which would cause problems. She also didn't know if it was a boy or a girl.
The Evil One only came out at night or so she was told.
The teen blinked hearing a all to familiar sound from the night before, she froze up and looked at the little rex who quickly scurried to hide behind her. She looked around, the sound was like a deep breath that literally danced on the breeze.
The teen jumped when she heard a cruel laugh, she turned to see a familiar face. One of the giganotosaurus that had ambushed her walked to her.
"Boss thinks you're special you ain't you're just some stupid kid!"
The teen glared at him as she snarled, she couldn't do anything to him due to the size difference. She however blinked when she saw a familiar silhouette behind the giganotosaurus, he was oblivious to it. "...!"
The giganotosaurus approached her as he sneered, "I am going to have fun gutting you!"
The teen blinked as heavy blood dropped to the floor, the giganotosaurus had his sneer on his face change to the one of complete pain. The Evil One had its mouth upon the side of the giganotosaurus's throat.
Blood poured as the demonic looking carnotaurus began to thrash from side to side which caused the giganotosaurus to scream in absolute agony. The teen was as stiff as a statue as she watched the horrifying display.
The Evil One had no restraint as it continued to cut into the giganotosaurus's throat until it left a large brutal looking wound. The teen watched as the giganotosaurus fell to the floor with lifeless eyes, blood heavily flowed from the wound upon his neck.
Her eyes went wide as the heartless beast approached her, its mouth was heavy with the stains of blood. She was going to die, she closed her eyes very much expecting her life to end.
However, nothing happened. She struggled to slowly open her eyes, and when she did was she eye to eye with the animal. "!?!"
The teen had never thought to see the Evil One again but here it was standing close before her. She could practically touch it. The smell of death was awful, it came from the mouth of the beast.
A deep sniffing sound came from the beast, it sniffed her curiously. The teen stood there as solid as a rock as it sniffed her, she didn't move and she refused to breathe. What was it doing?
The Evil One moved away from her face, it walked slowly from her. Her eyes slowly blinked as she watched where the animal was going. She took notice of the many different scars covering the Evil One. The scars that covered its body were deep and looked like they had to of been painful when it had first received them.
The teen looked at the little rex, it remained hidden behind her.
A deep sound gained her attention, she looked up to see the demonic beast looking back at her. The teen cautiously walked forward, when she did she could not believe her eyes. The Evil One began to walk before her, this had to of been some kind of nightmare or dream?
She was following the beast with the little rex following her, so then did that mean that she was connected to them? Goliath had said that it had mated before, so was she related to it after all? She was lost in what was happening, if she was related to the Evil One then did that mean that it recognized her? But why did it recognize her now?
Didn't some beasts stop caring for offspring at a certain age, so then what would happen to her now?
In this world no one knows what was going to happen in the future, some even speak of those holding special skills. To talk to the blind was definitely a special skill, but what if you didn't have that skill or knew you had it?
What would you do with that skill? Sometimes the answer was just unclear.
The meadow took on the full light of the day, the small group of Bloodmaw stopped at the appearance of two rexes and a familiar looking youngster.
Bloodmaw blinked when he picked up on his son, "Jr!?!"
Upon hearing his fathers voice did Jr perk up, "Dad!?!"
Bloodmaw ran over completely relieved, Scarface smiled following after him.
Swiftscale looked surprised as he ran over as well, Ebony giggled. "Told you we would find him!"
Helm laughed as he walked over, Ruby smiled. "A family is a strong thing."
Hannibal looked away, while Tyra quickly spoke giving her brother a nudge. "We wanna say sorry for taking your son!"
Bloodmaw looked at Jr, before looking up at the two. "Why did you take him?"
Tyra glared at her brother who refused to say anything, she looked at Jr with a apologetic look. "We thought he was abandoned or rather my brother said he was. I am sorry for this."
Ruby looked at Jr, she softly picked him up. "As long as he is fine that is all that matters!" She smiled.
Swiftscale looked at Jr concerned, "Are you okay?"
Jr grinned, "Yeah!" He looked at his legs as he said, "Though, I think I hurt my legs?"
Bloodmaw looked at Jr before looking at the two, "I accept your apology, I am just glad that he is safe."
Helm looked back, "I think we should head back, before it gets late."
Scarface nodded, "Yeah, it is late in the day. Night time will be a issue with all the blind beasts being active."
Tyra smiled happy but frowned as her brother began to walk off, "Uh, sorry he isn't much for conversation!"
Bloodmaw watched them both leave with a small smile. "It is quite alright thank you for looking after him. Have a safe trip?"
Tyra nodded smiling as she followed her brother, "See you again Jr!?!"
Jr smiled watching Tyra and Hannibal leave, he looked at everyone who came to get him with a smile. He was glad that he had his father and everyone else care for him enough to come get him.
Bloodmaw looked back as he began to walk back to camp, "Let's go."
As the evening rolls in, the small group make their way back to camp but of course they would have to make a stop along the way. Not at all forgetting about the rex clan of Dreadtooth, they would have to stop and talk with him.
What about was definitely the mystery.
Bloodmaw looked around looking for anything that would cause a threat, he blinked as he heard movement in the trees. Having left from the meadow and returning through the trees did the group encounter a rex sent to retrieve them from Dreadtooth.
Of course they followed the rex with caution and curiosity.
I hoped you liked this chapter! ^^
Also what does Dreadtooth want with Jr? As Bloodmaw and his small party get Jr back and follow this rex sent to get them , would they discover that there are clans out there unlike any other that they have seen!
