Owen trekked through the forest, about a half mile from the extraction point, which was a small building with a helipad on top. He would be there shortly and be safe one he got there. All he had to do was hustle through this last half mile. Suddenly he saw a blur whiz past froze. He knew exactly what is was. Raptor. And it wasn't Blue. Just then, a white and grey raptor walked out in front of him. She snarled at him. Owen knew that if he moved he was dead, and was wondering if the attack would come from the left, right, or the rear. He hoped that this was Blue's pack and that she was nearby. The raptor moved closer and prepared to lunge. Owen shut his eyes, waiting for the attack. He heard a scream, but the attack never came. He opened his eyes to see Blue on top of the other raptor, biting and clawing at her throat. He ran over to a tree and climbed as fast as he could, hoping to escape the other raptors he knew were there and maybe help Blue with his gun.
Blue POV
Blue heard Gimpy let out a hunting snarl, and she knew that she had something cornered. She ran over to help take down the prey when she saw what was being hunted. It was Alpha! Blue saw Gimpy creep forward and prepare to leap at him. This time, Blue would not submit to Gimpy's rule. She let out a loud scream and jumped onto Gimpy, knocking her over. She tried to get at her neck but Gimpy fought to get back up and managed to get to her feet. Both raptors let out menacing screams and charged each other. This was a full blown fight, and only one of them would make it out alive. Blue sunk her teeth into Gimpy's side and bit off a chunk of flesh, but not before Gimpy could sink her claw into Blue's flank, drawing blood. Both raptors let go of each other and circled one another. Gimpy let out a snarl, but Blue was silent. She was completely focused. She would defend Alpha to the death. The raptors charged at each other again and Blue was pinned down by Gimpy. Gimpy clawed at Blue's exposed underbelly, leaving deep cuts that would scar. But, blue managed to grab one of Gimpy's arms, and Gimps howled in pain, momentarily letting up on her attack. Blue seized the opportunity to knock Gimpy off balance and onto her back. Blue sunk her teeth deep into Gimpy's neck, and ripped out her throat. It was over. Blue was the alpha now. She barked to let all of the other raptors know, and they all lowered themselves submissively to her, even Red. It was then that Blue looked up into the tree to see Alpha. She went over to the tree and looked up at him patiently. She would protect him now and forever.
Owen POV
the fight had been long and bloody, but Blue had won. She was cut up badly but seemed to be okay. She had let out a few calls after the fight and the other raptors had lowered themselves to the ground. Blue was now an alpha! This was crazy. Then, Blue walked over to his tree and looked at him. Owen saw a look of what he thought was love in Blue's eyes, and decided to head down.
Blue POV
Alpha came down the tree, and a yearling made a move at him. Blue snarled and the young male took a few steps back, chirping with confusion. No one would harm Alpha while she was around. He looked at her lovingly, and the said "Blue, lets go" before walking towards the big water. Blue walked right beside him, with the rest of the pack following behind her. Red moved up to walk next to her and nudged her, and Blue returned the gesture. After all, an alpha raptor would need a mate, and Red was a very good candidate. Blue also looked at Chunk and gave a quick bark, letting her know that she was still her Beta. Chunk chirped in response, seemingly thankful. Eventually they arrived at a human structure. The other raptors held back int eh forest but Blue called them forward, and they obeyed. A whirring noise was heard and the raptors became nervous, but Blue calmed them down. Then a big gray bird came out of the sky and landed on the structure. Owen turned to Blue and placed his hand out. Blue put her snout into his palm. She heard Owen say "Good-bye, Blue. You were the best Beta an Alpha could ask for. Take care of your new family." Then Alpha walked towards the gray bird and got into it, and was carried away. This time, however, Blue did not feel an emptiness. Now she had a pack, and she had a feeling that Alpha would return soon. She knew that the next time she heard the whirring noise, it meant that the gray bird was returning with Alpha.
Owen POV
It was hard leaving Blue, but he would be back to check up on her. And now she finally had a pack. Owen felt that she would do just fine. "Well, how is our special girl? I see she's found other raptors. How do you think being an Omega is suiting her?" Barry asked once the door of the helicopter closed. "Well Barry, she's actually the Alpha of the pack now, and I think she has a mate." Owen responded. "Yea, that sounds like Blue, always taking charge of things." Barry said with a big smile.
