Chapter 2: The Cave
A little while later…
Marguerite and Roxton had gone to a well known watering hole to find something to eat. So far they have had no luck.
"Roxton instead of just waiting for something to come why don't we follow tracks and find something"
"That's not like you to suggest more walking"
"Well I'm hungry and I'd rather not starve to death waiting for something to turn up"
"Come now Marguerite you won't starve to death in one day"
"I may not starve to death but I could very well faint due to malnutrition."
"All right we'll track something down. Raptor or Boar?"
"Which ever is closer"
"Raptor it is then"
They follow the tracks to a cave.
"Be careful, Marguerite. And don't say anything till after the we have the raptor"
"Fine"
They slowly walk into the cave. They turn a corner to see the raptor a few feet in front of them. Roxton takes aim and shoots it dead in one shot.
"We have our supper"
"Finally, now hurry up the quicker we get back the quicker we eat."
"Then you'll help me," Roxton said hopefully.
"I didn't say that. I'll just make sure the cave is safe."
Roxton laughed to himself *She'll avoid work at all cost* Then started to cut the meat.
Marguerite went down a narrow tunnel into a chamber with a nest in the center.
"Looks like eggs for breakfast" She picked one up and returned to where Roxton was.
"Roxton, Guess what…I found eggs."
"How many?"
"Five I think"
Roxton looks up at the egg in Marguerite's hands. "You cracked it"
"No I didn't"
"Well it's cracked"
Marguerite looks at the egg and notices a large crack in its shell. It seemed to get bigger.
"Roxton …I think it's hatching."
A little raptor head broke through the shell. Roxton was expecting her to scream but she never did.
"Marguerite set it down"
"Why"
"So I can get rid of it."
"You can't kill it. It's just a baby."
"Marguerite it's a raptor"
"So it's still a baby."
"Fine, I won't shoot it."
"Promise"
"I promise I won't shoot the little creature as long as you leave it here."
She was quiet for a while then stated, "Fine," and sat the raptor down on the cave floor.
"Are you ready to go."
"I guess so."
They leave the cave and start towards the treehouse. Unbeknownst to them they are being followed by a tiny raptor.
