Chapter 3

The night was long and freezing, but the two of us were able to get some sleep. Well for most of it cause of those nightmares of that White Demon. But from the way she was taken down, I had a feeling that was the last time we'd see her ugly face. I was hoping that father would stay and help me find them. But even he stayed I had a feeling that humans weren't meant to be with us. And I had a feeling that he was thinking the same.

However, I felt like he could've stayed as well cause we could protect him and even help hunt with us. I would've been fine with that, and I'm sure Delta wouldn't mind despite her aggressive addittuted.

Flashback 1 year before I-Rex crisis

I couldn't really understand why Delta was so aggressive towards the humans and even to some of us. Most of us including myself thought it's what the humans call "a sense of pride being broken" something like that. If only I knew what pride ment then I would have understood.

"Hey…." I heard father and all four of us got up, well except Charlie. She was still a bit exhausted from last night. We look up to see father with a new human.

"How you been, Owen."

"Greeeat, it's good to see you to Robert."

"It sounds like they know each other." said Echo.

"Gee what gave you that brilliant idea Echo, I wouldn't have guess that." said Delta.

I just rolled my eyes to see Charlie looking up watching the humans talking. Now Charlie was an odd one, and I mean that in both a good and a bad thing. While most of us aren't really sure whether or not to trust new humans, unless father says its ok (which rarely happens unless its the dark skin human who helps father take care of us.) But for some reason Charlie always like to get close and listen to many of their conversations. And at the end of the day, would share them to us. Some of them were good, some were sad, and there were others that really got us laughing a bit. So much so that I thought I heard Delta laughing a bit before she even realized it. Yep, Charlie maybe a bit what the humans say "immature", she still knows how to have a good time.

Father left who he calls the dark skin Barry in charge in both keeping an eye out and feeding us. Echo would always like to go first whenever he was giving us an "exam" or whatever they called it. This was kind of strange cause well, Charlie is well the nicest, Delta is the most aggressive, and I could say I was the most obedient but level-headed. Then Echo would be the shyest, except when it comes to father or that Barry fella. Neither me or the others, not even father could understand it but I think Echo has some kind of liking towards him.

The only problem is that he doesn't really spend as much time as father does but we do see him by fathers side watching us.

"What?" said Echo

"Why do you act like that?" asked Delta.

"Is there a problem with giving another human a chance, since he is going to be with us if father is here or not." was her answer but continues "Beside, I think you give us a bad time Delta."

"May I remind you the reason why father has another human is because of what that fatso did to us. What if this one does thes same?"

I just rolled my eyes before Charlie spoke, "If that was the case why would father have him close to us."

"In definition, we have to be in those cold bars just to keep us from biting him."

"Thats been there, after what happened between the two of you." said Echo pointing out the fight between both Delta and I a few years back.

Delta just snorted before leaving us with Echo. Echo did have a point about the purpose of those bars. Even I didn't like them, but if its keep both father and everyone around him and us safe. Then I am willing to trust him.

After a long day, father returned to talk to Barry. And without any surprise, Charlie goes (or at least tries) close to them to here what they both had to say.

"Your seriously not going to tell her to be careful." said Echo.

"I'm sure she's aware of that but with this around us, I doubt she would cause trouble. Plus, I like some of those stories that she ends up hearing."

Echo just signed a bit before asking "Permission to ask?"

"Echo, you don't need to do that. I know that the humans do it to father but we're sisters but sure go ahead."

"Well, have you ever, thought about having...well...a...mate."

"Excuse me?" I questioned.

"Just curious, cause well...I...well...Delta...I think Delta is aggressive cause I think she…"

" Have you been watching Delta. You do know how she feels about that."

Echo just smiles and shakes her head, "Yes, but what I saw what she was doing was…"

It was kind of hard for Echo to say but once she said it, I just laughed softly but figured that maybe the case. Though, I could end up doing the same thing. Just thinking about it was enough to make me blush.

"Lets just say it's a bit too early to talk about it. Why are you thinking about having one as well."

"Will I get laughed at if I admit it." said Echo who was blushing a bit.

"No, and I can understand. I will admit it, I was thinking about it. Only there is a slim chance of that happening. Unless father can figure something out."

"Okey, I just thought to talk about it with you."

"Hey, we're sisters we look after each other. No matter what happens."

End of flashback

I just opened my eyes a bit, to see light shining through those clear windows in the sky. I soon stretched out a bit before nudging Delta to get up as well. She just growled a bit before getting up. I walked around to make sure she was alright, and her burns were healing but that bite mark wasn't really healing right.

"What the...hell are you doing."

I just looked at her and answered, "Just checking your wounds that's all."

Delta just shook her head and started walking with me right behind her.

"So, where do you think we should head to alpha?"

"I don't know, the last thing...what did you call me?"

Delta snorted before responded, " What, father isn't here, and even if Charlie and Echo were still...well alive. Would there be anyone else to lead."

"I just wouldn't think to hear it from you but even so, this is only until if, and I mean only if father comes back."

She just rolled her eyes and respond "I would admit your better than me, if that ever happens."

"Ok, then it's on and you better hold your bargen this time."

"I make no promises." was all she said before we started heading back out into those tall plants.
