Charlotte awoke with a heavy groan and crusty eyes. She hadn't got much sleep. Her night was filled with a recuring nightmare and being awoken to the sound of some very loud birds. The room was cold, her hands felt numb, the blanket she had found was lay stung out on the floor. She thought to her self that she must have really tossed and turned. Her back was stiff, her legs were sore. Her throat felt rough as she took a small drink from her water bottle.
She coughed very heavily as she looked around the room and seeing no sign of Wind Walker started to worry as to where he might be. Then out of the corner of her eye she saw him walking toward him with what seemed like an outdated hand held CB radio in his mouth. He laid it down on the desk next to her left leg.
"I found this in one of the rooms." He said, I figured you would now what to do with it." "Oh Ok she" said and she cleered her throat. She picked it up and flipped it over, She popped off the back and to her suprise were batteries that looked to be in good condition. She put the back cover back on and flipped it back over.
"I wonder if it still works." She thought as she raised the antenna and flipped on the power button. To both Charlottes and Wind Walkers suprise it started up but with only static. Wind Walker was confused as to why the box was making such an irratated noise and the fact that at the moment he wanted to smash it until Charlotte explained as best she could what it was and how it worked. Though she didn't really explain it all to well since she had, had a C in physics.
More and more white noise came through the radio as Charlotte started to tune it. Most of the channals were in spanish or some dialect that was similar until she found a music station playing old country music. Being raised most of her life in an orphanage she knew almost ever old country song imaginable. The radio station was playing Would You lay With me In A Field Of Stone by David Allen Coe. One of her favorite songs. The song ended. Then came on the radio host. "Thanks everbody that listened, that was a tribute to all the men and women that lost ther lives in the fatal plane crash almost a month ago. Our hearts go out to those who lost a loved one as the search for any more survivers has been called off."
"But now it's time to talk about the truth. Do you know what it's like to feel your heart beating in your chest so intensely that you cant even breath. This is a story of Monsters, Creatures, Hideous nightmares that crawl in the night. I've seen them In visions, and you will too." Heheh I know what you must be saying to yourself. What does a finding enlightment brother doing in this god forsaken landscape. Well i'll tell you. It's the truth that has brought me out hear and this is the only place where I can tell you the truth and they can't. That's right, right here at KFRD freedom radio. The inside know on goverment conspieracys, space aliens and up to minuets reports on when they plan to invade."
Charlotte had heard enough and turned the radio off. She looked to Wind Walker and said. " What a nut job." He replied "Yea but what was he even talking about." "Who knows, some humans are just plain crazy." She said as she tried to hold back the thought of her sunken heart at the fact that she wont be rescued before she started to cough heavily.
"Are you alright, that cough doesn't sound very good." He said with great concern. "I'm fine I think I just caught a small cold." She said as she wiped her brow and looked at her now sweaty palm. "Are you sure, you look awfully pale." he responded. "I'm fine really I just need some medicine from the box over there." She said in which Wind Walker stepped over and picked up the box in his mouth and handed it to Charlotte. She then took some pain relivers.
"Are you sure those little things will help you." He pondered. "Well I hope so, but it may take a little while for them to take affect." she responded.
Wind Walker turned his head toward the door. "Did you hear that?" He questioned.
"No, what did you hear." Charlotte responded. Fearing something dangerous she unsheathed her knife.
"I don't know but it sounded like it was in the cave." He said as Charlotte got up and slowly moved toward the door. She then put her ear up againt the cold hard cement wall.
She heard a strange tapping sound against the walls of the cave which echoed through out the passage way that lead to there hide away.
"What could it be." Both of them pondered as the sounds grew steadily closer.
"Do you think it's another raptor that tracked us here." Charlotte whispered to Wind Walker
"It's possible but i dont see how they would have know how to open the what you humans call doors." he responded
Then a voice came echoing through the walls. It was a long drawn out hello. The voice sounded feminine, almost teenager like. In human standerds it would've sounded like a girl around the age of eighteen with a very happy sounding pitch. Moments later the same voice called through the cave.
"Should we answer her." Charlotte said, obviously puzzled at the events transpiring while shrugging her shoulders. "I don't know, there are a bunch of things that could happen." Wind Walker said. "She's either alone and clearly out of her mind or that she's trying to draw us out so more of her pack could ambush us."
Then the voice called again. "Come on you guys, I know your here. There's no one else but me. I just want to talk."
"If she's telling the truth maybe we should at least let her know were here before she starts atracting some bigger predators." Wind Walker said to Charlotte. "And if she's not." She said. "Well sometimes you just have to roll with it." Wind Walker said with a slight smerk calling down the hall to the mysterious voice.
"Ugh it's about time. Now will you tell me where you are." The voice said. Wind Walker then gave her directions and soon both of them heard clicks and taps following the up the stairs. "Well I'm here now will you let me in." The voice said.
"If we do, you promise not to hurt us." Wind Walker said. "I promise on the hairs on my head, now will you let me in so I can see your faces."
Wind Walker look at Charlotte and she looked at him. Both gave aproveing not before Charlotte walked close to the door and opened it half way before the Raptor barged through the door and made some distance before turning around to see some a raptor in an attaking stance and a human that looked like she saw a ghost.
"Hehe, you guys look silly." The female raptor said.
Charlotte getting up from being knocked on the ground sternly said. "What the hell, you scared the crap out of me. Who the hell just barges through a door. God that's just rude" She stood up and dusted off the dirt from her pants. She looked up and could now clearly see the velociraptor.
She had a variety of different colors that covered her hide. The most notable color on her was brown but her underbelly and back were speckled in spot of blue and green. An array of small to large black stripes ran down her tail. A long scare ran down her face which beset a pair of golden eyes that shined brightly in the semi light room.
The raptor stared at Charlotte, most likley confused at the fact that she was able to speak there language. Then she turned her attention toward Wind Walker and asked him how she was able to speak to them.
Charlotte felt a little annoyed at her as Wind Walker explained to her how. Charlotte spoke up after he was done. "So what's your name." Charlotte said as plainly as she could so she could hide her irratability at there rude new guest.
"My name is Kiara" daughter of alpha pair Trevor and Alexis who you've probably already met." She said. "Who." Charlotte questioned." Umm Charlotte remeber a couple days ago with the other raptors." Wind Walker said before Kiara had a chance to talk. "They were the raptors that I was talking too in hopes that they didnt rip us to shreds."
"Yes they were on a hunting party. I would've been there but I was assigned to guard the nest." She added. "Speaking of nests, what's up with this place, it's so bland and depressing. I mean the view is nice but that's pretty much it."
"Well excuse me, we haven't really had the time to spice the place up a bit." Charlotte quickly snapped at her. "And don't think that because your a guest here doesn't mean I wont be silent when you decide to poke fun of our choice of living and in case you haven't noticed yet we don't really have a choice of luxury."
"I would watch your tone with me human. Just because i'm the daughter of an aplha pair doesnt mean I will go running home to them everytime I feel in trouble."
"Ohh well excuse me princess but i'll have you know that I also can handle myself just fine."
At this point Wind Walker stepped between them. "Woah, woah ladies please, let's not have a massacre here. Now Kiara, please tell us as to why you are here."
"Ahh well yes. My father wanted me to spend the day with you two to make sure that you stay in your boundaries and to make sure you don't get into any trouble. He said one more thing though but I can't seem to remeber what it was."
"Ohh well that's just great. First I wake up feeling like a rhino with a brain tumor and now I get to spend the day with a very rude house guest, oh that's just perfect." Charlotte continued to ramble on as she walked over into one of the other rooms.
Kiara looked over to Wind Walker. "Is she normaly like this."
"Well, I wouldn't exactly say that she's the most sane human, I think that she just woke up on the wrong side of the nest. You see she got sneezed on by a carnatour a few days back and I think she's getting sick."
"Ewwwww that's so gross." She said.
"Yea I know. It wasn't the prettiest sight, there was mucas everywhere." "I should probably go and see if she's ok. In the meantime I think you should think of an apologize about how you introduced yourself and for calling our home bland and depressing." He told her as he started to walk into the next room.
"Fine, only if she opologizes for calling me princess." she replied. "Fine, i'll see what I can do." Wind Walker said.
Moments later both Charlotte and Wind Walker reappered into the room. After both Charlotte apologized Kiara said that she didn't get their names to which both of them gave.
After a few hours of senseibal nonsense, getting to know eachother and the boundries to which Wind Walker and Charlotte are not suppose to go to unless they are accompanied by one of the pack members Kiara finally went to the door and said.
"So who's ready to have some fun."
