Chapter 4

Akana POV

I couldn't believe what just happened, a human a creature that should have killed me had just saved my life. I…I just don't know what to say. I'm both kind of confused and really bothered about that. Maybe there not all bad but I don't want to go into conclusion. Since they are still considering a danger to us. I need to know why, and what is he going to me when he wakes up.

For those who don't know, my pack really never liked the humans for a few reasons. One of the reasons is from what I heard was that before I hatch a group of humans apparently kidnaped both me and my brothers and sisters. Thankfully they were able to catch them and get the us back or else I wouldn't be here. In fact, none of us would last very long if they didn't get us back. But all I know is that humans are dangerous kill them before they kill you.

I shook my head from all of the confusion and looked up at the strange human who was fast asleep. I could have sworn that liquid was some kind of poison. If that was the case, why am I not dead yet. So many questions I have to ask but how could I get it to understand is beyond me.

I soon put my head down and tried to sleep for the rest of night. It wasn't easy since my leg was asking in pain but I manage to do so.

First thing in the morning, I going to try to see if he could understand me. Then ask him why he helped me?

Carlos POV

Morning came and I couldn't really get much sleep at all. Part of the reason being that I wasn't use to sleeping on the ground. Let alone not having any kind of blanket around me. Last night was freezing cold but I had managed to keep myself warm through the night. O.K. mostly but thankfully there was a heater nearby.

The main reason is trying to figure out what the heck just happened yesterday. It starts out with going to this building that we're in, then I accidently ended up in a pack of raptor nest, then getting chase by them, and finally ended up saving this one hide. Yep it was sure a heck of a blast for the most part. A part of me is shaking knowing that this thing could have me at any moment but as of right know it seems like it's fast asleep.

I took a deep breath and moved back to where I was. I analyzed from the decedent to figure of what kind of raptor its was. Very carefully I made a guess that this was a fully grown female. How do I know it's a girl? Well if you see like birds, the males would be lighter than the females to show them how strong and health it is. The brighter it is the more ladies the male would get.

The Raptors skin is a deep black with some kind of reddish brown strips on its back. I couldn't really tell since she (I think) is a bit dirty from yesterday. I soon tried to get the bandage off her ankle in order to see how the wound was healing.

"Well the good news is that it didn't hit a bone?" I said to myself quietly. "Bad news, is that you might not be able to hunt for a few days."

As I began to put the bandage back on I noticed her leg starting to move a bit. I looked up and noticed that she was awake and looked scared. I mean I wouldn't blame her for what just happened but I'm just a thirteen-year-old boy and I'm trying to do everything I can to help her. So, what is it so freighted about. Is it that she never seen a human before, maybe she came in contact before and maybe something happened.

"Hey, if you can understand me…try to relax." O.K I just said the stupidest thing to say to a raptor.

"You b…b…what I'm trying to say is that"

I couldn't finish my sentence because of two reasons. One, I could get killed if given the opportunity, and two how do you calm a raptor down? Seriously I'm open for ideas on how to calm her down?

We looked at each other for a moment before she trying to communicate with some chirps and barks.

"Sorry, I don't really understand what you are saying."

Akana POV

"This was going to be harder than I thought." I thought to myself.

I trying again hoping that he would understand what I am trying to tell him. "I want to know why you are helping and are there more of you humans out there?"

"I still can't understand what you are saying." Said the young human who was giving me the comfused look at me.

If my father was here right now, it wouldn't go well seeing how much he despises humans. But staying on topic I soon notice it getting something out of that strange container. I wanted to know what it was getting. So, I tried to get up so I could see what it was getting. But the pain in my ankle was starting to hit me and started to squealed a bit.

The young human turned around and help me go down so that I don't end up hurting myself. It then tells me to stay down and explains that I need to stay off it for a few days or weeks or else it would heal. It said something like that but I couldn't understand it a bit. Seeing if we get hurt we would try to get up and continue like that one time my brother ended up with a broken arm after fall off our target and was up and running trying to help us take it down. Thankfully he only had a mild brake but he was still in pain.

Still though he was alright, thank goodness he was able to return with the rest of the pack to continue hunting. So, what this human is say and if I get this right is that I should stay on my hide and wait until my foot "heals up" (whatever that means). Heck no, my father will be worried sick and will start a nice searching party. Then I would get a nice speech on how I shouldn't have ran off like that. I know what you are thinking. Your father just wants to make sure that you are alright and such. O.k. I understand that but try being treated like a hatchling every now and then. I'm a health young adult.

Half about who knows how long, the human comes out with something in his hand like a little round ball. He soon placed it in his ear and tries to talk to me again.

" Alright now try to say something." Said the human.

I was a bit nervous for the moment since I felt my nerves starting to get the best of me.

"It's alright, I'm just hoping this work."

"Hope what works?" was my answer.

"That those ear things I found…did you just speak?"

I paused for a moment kind of shocked a bit could the human understand me or is this trick.

Carlos POV

It was a moment of silence since the female raptor spoke I don't know if I was dreaming or maybe it had to do with those weird ear thingies.

"Can you talk?" I asked.

The raptor didn't answer for a moment until she finally answered "I can understand your but not really talk your language."

I know that I should be kind of scared and excited but the last thing I want to do is scare her so I just kept on talking.

"Well I can understand you thanks to those things I found and it said something about being able to understand animals. I don't know since I'm only thirteen years old."

I soon stopped explaining seeing she was even more confused. To be honest I don't know if that made any sense.
I soon realized that the sun was about to hit high noon and we still haven't gotten anything to eat. So I looked for something that could help me hunt.

" Let's see now, I need a strong stick and a nice sharp stone?"

The Raptor looked at me but didn't make any effort to move to see what I was looking for. I soon found two to five long sticks that could be good for both either a javelin or a spear. I soon got a decent stone which didn't look good but it would have to do for now. It took about another five minutes to get those sticks sharp enough to the point where it would penetrate a dinos hide. I got my things together and soon started to head out but before I did that I explained to her that I was going out to find some food for us and that she may be alone for a bit. But if there was any kind of trouble just give me a call. From the look of things she didn't get what I meant but before she could say anything I was already out.

"And when I get back I hope we could start over and get to know each other better."

Hey guys Dragon here to apologize for the long wait since I had to get my costume and go to work but hey at least I am getting this one done. I am going to try to work on it as much as I can. Until then I hope to hear from you guys and I'll try to post the next one up soon.
