The sound of breaking branches and labored breathing filled the dark jungle as an injured Bactrosaurus ran into its enclosed area. Thick with trees and foliage, the jungle was a far safer place to hide than the dessert she had escaped from. Such sounds and foreign smells were very inviting to any hungry predators in the area. Such an unfortunate series of events indeed for the poor hadrosaur.

Turning her head to examine her flank, she groaned in distress. Across her belly and her thigh were deep gashes, heavily bleeding at that. She could feel a bite on her neck and claw marks on her back as well, but was unable to see more than the blood dripping to the ground. She swore under her breath before looking the direction from where she came. She couldn't hear the foot beats of running raptors nor the sound of the shrill cries. They had abandoned her. Sighing in the relief of at least that, she limped forward, going deeper into the forest.

Having been chased from her home and herd in the marshes into the dessert and back around to the nearby jungle by a pack of ravenous Velociraptors, her day had been less that enjoyable. Lost in the thought of her day and her wounds, surprisingly, she was oblivious to the sounds of heavy footsteps approaching her from the front. Turning her head mid step to look over her flank once more, she didn't see the large Tarbosaurus stopped in front of her and walked right into its fat belly. Jumping back from surprise, the action causing her to stumble over onto her uninjured side, she looked up at the obviously hungry predator. "O-oh no!"

Natasha, a mature Tarbosaurus and well feared carnivore of this particular jungle, possibly the reason behind the raptors bailing their prey, took no delay in reacting to the Bactrosaurus' mistake and gently placed a heavy foot onto her side, ensuring her capture. "Don't struggle and everything is going to be okay, that and I'll just break your ribs if you do."

Despite her command, the already injured hadrosaur began to squirm beneath her foot and attempted to buck herself free.

Natasha shook her head, and before her future prey could actually escape, she pressed down with her foot and did as she promised. With a loud crunch and a scream from the Bactrosaurus, her ribs were shattered. "Shame." She sighed in mock pity. "I was going to just break your neck, but that's out of the question now."

The Bactrosaurus looked up at her predator with teary eyes, blood from her crushed organs starting to drip from her bill. "P-please, have mercy."

Natasha leaned down to look her prey in the eyes before shaking her massive head. "I'm sorry, but no. I offered that and you refused. Now it's going to end the hard way."

As the Bactrosaurus lie on the ground in agony, Natasha lifted her heavy foot and examined her prey. She had no fear of her escaping now. "You were attacked it seems. I smelled the blood before you even entered the jungle, which was probably a mistake to begin with. I suppose had you not struggled, I'd have killed you faster than that pack though." She licked her jaws at the sight of her prey's mangled torso and bleeding gashes. "They would have spilled your belly and just started eating you alive. I'm a kind carnivore though; I usually have mercy on my prey. I'm relatively famous for that."

The broken Bactrosaurus whimpered as her future consumer spoke with an almost kind tone to her. She deeply regretted struggling. "I-I'm sorry..."

"Shhh, don't talk. It doesn't matter anymore. I don't give second chances in situations like this." She looked over the bite on the hadrosaur's neck. "This would have killed you anyway." She touched her snout on the wound, deeply inhaling the scent of blood. "Yes, you're time was limited already." She licked the wound before lifting back up. "You're probably in a lot of pain right now, yes?"

The Bactrosaurus gave a soft nod, a bit of blood spilling from her mouth.

"I'm going to give you a couple minutes, okay? Tell me if the pain stops." The Bactrosaurus seemed confused by the request. "You're starting to go into shock. A side effect of this is a loss of feeling. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not. If it does happen, let me know."

The Bactrosaurus remained confused, her breathing quick and painful and her mind hazy, she was unsure how the pain would simply stop. Despite this, she was given several minutes to rest. She started to think about moving, about getting up and running, but she couldn't even feel her legs to do so. She couldn't feel much of anything really. In fact, her body as a whole was starting to go numb. She started to look around in confusion, unsure of what was going on really. Her breathing was a tad more calm, but she felt it had more to do with approaching death than her body healing. After a moment, she groaned softly. "I-it stopped."

Natasha gave her a warm smile. "Very good. I'm going to eat you alive, but I allowed you the chance to be without pain. Do you understand?"

Fresh tears began to spill from the Bactrosaur's eyes. "Yes, I understand."

"Alright. Just relax; you'll be gone soon. You'll probably be dead before I'm done."

The thought surprisingly comforted the Bactrosaurus. She wondered if this was okay. Death was a part of life after all, and the Tarbosaurus couldn't help but desire flesh and bone. With an accepting sigh, she nodded. "Go ahead."

Natasha licked her dripping jowls before leaning down to the side of her prey. Stating just behind the shoulder, she bit down and pulled a strip of flesh free from her prey's body. Based on her meal's lack of a pained reaction, she could tell she was without pain. Ripping the meat from the body with a jerk of her muscled neck, she flipped her head back and let the bloody morsel slide down her throat with ease. She moaned softly from the flavor and feeling. "Oh goodness, you're very delicious. I'm sure those raptors regret losing you."

The dying Bactrosaurus, her glazed over eyes half closed with heavy lids, couldn't help but chuckle softly at the thought of her former hunters being both afraid of her consumer and kicking the dirt in regret of losing her. "Y-yeah."

The encounter continued like that for some time. Natasha pulling away long strips of flesh from the hadrosaur's belly and flank while the practically comatose Bactrosaur relaxed with slow breathing. At one point Natasha mixed up her pattern and began to eat from the Bactrosaur's muscular and meaty thigh, marveling at its meat content and muscle tone. "You had a beautiful body for your age. Were you a mother?"

The Bactrosaur nodded softly. "Once upon a time. Most of my eggs were eaten by a small pack of Citipati, but I managed to chase them off and saved three of them. They're all grown up now, mothers of their own. I wanted a son too, but I suppose that wasn't meant to be." She coughed up some blood before continuing. "A-are you a mother?"

She swallowed a mouthful of flesh and licked her jaws clean of gore before answering. "Not yet, but I want to be. I haven't found the right male yet, but I hope to soon." Looking down at her prey, her flank and back leg showing bone, she realized she'd eaten essentially her entire right half. Craving some organs, she sighed. "Well, I'm going to start eating your organs now. You'll probably slip away soon after I start that."

The Bactrosaur paused, no more tears but instead a face full of sorrow. "I understand."

Leaning down, Natasha licked the Bactrosaur's check. "Good night sweetheart."

Closing her eyes, the Bactrosaurus didn't even feel it as Natasha moved her head to her belly and spilled its contents by ripping away the last strip of flesh. Wanting to finish off her meal quick, not wanting her to suffer any longer, she went straight for the heart and lungs, scooping them up with her broad purple tongue and ripping them free, swallowing them down hole with a might gulp. The Bactrosaurus, thought not in pain, could feel herself unable to breathe, but she was calm. As if slipping into sleep, she passed on.

Natasha continued to devour her prey's belly and liver and all her other tasty organs, except her intestines. She hated going through the trouble of shaking them clean before swallowing them, and their contents made her ill. This was not a meal she wanted to throw back up later; it was too precious to her. In no time at all, the Bactrosaur's torso was empty of meat and organs, but Natasha's belly was full and heavy. Lifting her now sticky red head from her meal, Natasha let out a proud burp and then licked her lips and teeth clean of gore and grime. "Well, my sweet, you were absolutely amazing. I'm sorry I can't pity you longer, but if I did I'd probably starve myself to death, and we couldn't have that." She looked at the almost sleeplike face of her kill and smiled. "If there is an afterlife, I hope you're happy there."

Feeling the familiar sensation of a fat and bloated belly rubbing between her thighs, she moaned happily. "Oh yes, I think I need a little me time now." With a happy grin, she stomped off into the forest, leaving the remains of her meal for whatever scavengers may want it. Perhaps those raptors will come back and finish it off. One never knows.
