Chapter 12

Carlos

Man what just happened? I whispered to myself, only to see Alkane awake.

"How do you feel?"

I shook my head trying to get over the pain that I felt last night, though when I look up Alkane, um, for some reason is around my height now. Did I have some kind of growth spurt or something. I tried to get up only to notice something is attach to my butt. I quickly got up only to fall on my back and notice that I have a tail. I rolled over and then started to noticed that my entire body had change from human to a raptor.

"O.k, this has to be a dream, can it?"

"Um, no." was her answer.

An idea soon popped into my mind and shared it to her.

"Hit me."

"What?" questioned Alkane.

"Come on, knock me over. I want to know if this is a dream."

She could tell that I was having trouble standing up, well I'm trying stand up straight but it felt very weird doing it for some reason.

Alkane just looked at me and asked "Are you sure, you want me to do that?"

"Absolutely positively sure." was my answer.

She soon started charging with her head down and made direct contact on my chest. Immediately, I ended up flying and landed on the ground with a loud thud.

Christ that hurts was all I said to myself before Alkane went up to make sure that I was alright.

"Yeah, at least I know I'm not dreaming. But seriously what just happened?"

"I don't know?" was her answer before continuing "I was awoken up by your constant screaming. I believed that either you were in pain or just having a nightmare. But then I noticed that your leg was turning bright red. So, I ended up trying to find something to help you. Moments later, I couldn't find anything but for some reason you stopped screaming. I went in and saw you were no longer human. I'm surprised that you aren't freaking out about it and such."

"Um, yeah, I'm sort of am. But at the same time, I could get used to it." I tried to walk forward only fall flat on my face. "Eventually."

Alkane just giggled a bit but eventually help me up.

"First off, don't stand like that it makes you look like a..."

"Moron?" I stated.

"Well that's putting it lightly, but I can understand you not being use to this. Since this is all of a sudden."

I soon got up and mimicked how she was standing and to be honest it felt way, way more comfortable. Great, I getting lessons on how to walk like and stand raptor. But then, I started to smell something. It's like my senses got an upgrade or something, this is amazing, though also kind of scary at the same time. O who am I kidding this is awesome, depending on how look at it.

Alkane soon helped me at least how to move around from place to place and to be honest I feel like a hatchling. Which to be honest, this is kind of embarrassing learning to walk…again.

It took me a moment to get use to this, but the real hard put is hunting. Hopefully, she can teach me to hunt like a raptor.

"Everything else is based on your instincts, and that's really all."

"Um, ok but that's not really going to be a really easy thing to rely on."

Alkane just laughed a bit to my response but who could blame her. She soon caught something in the air. I soon could smell it too…it smells like more raptors.

Oh great, this is not what I wanted to happened while trying to get use to my new body. Thank goodness, the doors are shut and locked so that they can't ge….

Alkane soon walked up to the door and took a quick sent and started barking with joy. I got up and ran up to her (only to fall again, this is really going to be a long day for me). She unlocked the doors and ended up opening the door and who it was. Well, I couldn't really make of it but both Alkane and the mysterious pack we like barking and screeching like crazy.

"Come on, I want u to meet him." Said Alkane to him (colors if you remember…never mind focus).

Alkane POV

Few seconds ago….

I open the door and I could believe who it was… "Razor!?"

"ALKANE!" he shouted before his group started to come in and surround me. I can't believe they were able to find us, we'll to you maybe…me not really since it does take us awhile for us to find one and another but when we do sence one of ours. We go to find them as quickly as we can until we get close.

"HOLY SHIT, GIRL I THOUGHT I NEVER FIND YOU!"

"It's good to see you again Razor. How's dad and the others?" hoping to get a positive answer.

"There doing find, but they will be thrilled to see you again.

I just rolled my eyes and answered "Yeah, I bet they will. Hopefully, he doesn't give me a lecture when I get home."

Razor soon questioned where I was all this time, and to be honest I wanted to tell him. But, as much want to. The last thing I want is to make a fool of myself.

"Come on?" I said heading in the building.

"What are you doing?" he asked wanted to get home badly, probably to get some respect from the hunting groups. Why, well this may be kind of shocking but as much as they make fun of my nickname that I WILL NOT REPEAT…and if you know what's good for you, you'll forget about it. Razor had always been picked on. Cause well, not because of his true name again not going to repeat it. It's because he's the mini-alpha of the lookout group. Yes, I know you'll want me to explain but that will be um kind of boring to listen to.

Anyway, best way to say it is that the lookouts don't do very much other than keep an eye out for rivals or anything dangerous coming like humans for example.

"Come on, I want you to meet him." was all I said.

I soon see Carlos just standing there looking at us very weird. But was also very shy…I can tell, his movements say so.

"You've been taken care of my little sister?" asked Razor.

Carlos just looked down very scared to speak. Man, you think answering him is bad, try answering my father. Golly he could be a drag sometimes, but that's just who he is and what he does.

He soon answered "Yes."

Razor soon started walk around him, smelling him, and um… I rather not say it. Anyway, he was soon done looking at him (way to embarrasses yourself in front of your own sister doing that but at least it wasn't in front of the group, or dad), he soon walked up to me and then turned around to talk to his group and stated that they will stay here for the night before heading back. They all agreed and started looking for a place to rest.

Razor and I talked for a long time before I took a break. Carlos was just sitting there trying to figure out what's going on.

"A boring pack?" question Carlos.

I just rolled my eye and answered "When there's nothing to do kay."

Soon Razor came and join the two of us. Probably, wanting to know about Carlos and etc.

"I'm actually really surprise you were able to take care of her. The last time I saw her you know was when I saw that human taking her in."

Carlos POV

I didn't really say anything but since I knew who he was talking about, and the last thing I want to do is to offend him. Plus, who would believe that I was the human who saved her life. Yeah, u no one, so I had to figure out what to say.

"Well, I was also in there to be honest and it was thanks to that human that we we're still alive."

"Really?" he questioned how was that even possible and I explained to him how it happened. To be honest, I didn't really word it out very well. Even Alkane could believe most of the things I said.

"Well, I guess not every human isn't as bad as father said they be."

I just shook my head and said "I guess, we were just lucky that he found the two of us."

"I think I should introduce myself. My name is Razor, I the leader of the lookouts. And you are."

"Um…" I soon thought about it…I need to figure out this part should I say my true name or just give myself a raptor name. My name is….

And that's when I'm going to end it and have a competition in giving him a new name. The one who gets this one right will get a quick peak of the next story I going to do at the start of Winter. And I will give you credit for it unless you don't want you username on there. Good luck, and hope to hear from you all soon.
