The Obelisk

-Chapter 15 🎉-

The Kapro opened her mouth.

“You have some nerve to save a thief,” she said. She stepped forward, earning a small hiss from Spark. “But I’ll go. Just remember,” she turned to Forest. “No matter what, don’t even begin to believe you can trust him. Cause he’s not worth it.”

Sparks raised her chin defiantly. Forest huffed and frowned.

Giving Rust one last, menacing look, the Kapro turned to leave.

After she disappeared in the shallow swamp waters, Forest sighed. “That was close.”

“I’ve saved two carnivores now,” Spark mused, eyeing the trees thoughtfully. “We better go before she changes her mind and plans an ambush.”

“ you’ll just wack her again, won’t you?” Forest asked, half joking.

“Not if she brings back-up.” Spark said with a frown. Oh.

“Alright,” Forest turned to Rust. “Hey Rust,” we gotta go.”

The deinonychus did not wake up.

“Maybe she should—AH!” a cascade of brown water was flung over him and Rust. Rusts eyes snapped open as Forest flung his arms over his head, blocking most of the muck. “What was that for?” Forest shouted.

“Sorry,” Spark said, swaying her tail behind her. “I was aiming for Rust.”

Rust sat up, gingerly rubbing his shoulder. “Ow,” he said. “What happened?”

“A Kapro happened,” Spark said wryly.

“You were conked out by a vengeful Kapro,” Forest said helpfully at about the same time.

“THE Kapro?” Rust said. He laughed breathlessly. “Guess she did remember me. I owe you guys some gold. Hey, you think she’s got any more meat to spare?”

“Very funny,” Spark said. “Until she knocks you out again.”

“OK, I’m convinced,” Rust said with a crooked smile. “Let’s get out of here.”
