Chapter 3: A Raptor?
By: Margueritediamond
Note to readers: Sorry it took me so long to add a new chapter. The story is finished. I just have to type it. It is sorta cute but it ends pretty sappy. Sorry I couldn't resist. Read and Enjoy. And of course thanks to those who review. It's nice to know people read my story.
Thanks
When they get back to the treehouse Roxton turned to Marguerite. He saw the tiny creature and aimed his rifle at it.
"Roxton, What do you think you are doing?"
"Marguerite move."
"Why?"
"So, I can shoot that thing."
She just looks at him strangely. "What thing?"
"Behind you."
She looks over her shoulder. "Have you been drinking?"
"No, look by your legs."
She looks where he told her "oh" She picks up the raptor gently. "You can't shoot it"
"Why not?" said Roxton
"Because you promised that you wouldn't shoot it."
"I promised if you left it at the cave."
"I did leave it at the cave. It's not my fault it followed me."
"You can't keep it."
"Don't tell me what to do, Lord John Roxton."
"Marguerite it's a raptor"
"Does that matter"
"Yes, They normally try to eat us or have you forgotten"
"It won't eat me and besides it can be trained just like anything."
"It's not a dog"
"So"
The little creature roared pitifully in a small almost squeaky voice.
"See you've upset the poor dear," she said glaring at John. Then turned to the raptor her gaze softening, "Did mean ol' John scare you"
"It's a raptor, Marguerite"
"Shouldn't you be fixing lunch like you promised" She turned and went to her room with the little raptor.
*Why does she have to be so stubborn? Raptors are normally trying to eat us and she's treating it like a puppy* thought Roxton as he began to fix the meal.
Marguerite was in her room watching the tiny raptor chase his tail.
"What are you trying to do?" The creature ignored her continuing to try and catch its elusive prey.
"If you catch your tail it'll hurt." It continued to ignore her advice.
"If you're staying here you'll need a name." She thought quietly for a while.
Suddenly the raptor screeched in pain. He had caught his elusive prey.
"Didn't I tell you that it would hurt your tail if you caught it." The creature just looked at her pitifully, "Come here let me see it" She picked up the tiny creature and examined his tail. "You'll be fine you're not bleeding." She rubbed the top of his head affectionately. "Your all better. Now, What to call you?" She was silent again as she looked at the small dinosaur looking back at her, searching for a name.
"Ronnie!!" she exclaimed startling the little creature. "That the perfect name don't you think."
Ronnie roared his approval.
Next Chapter: Finally Dinner.
Spoiler: During dinner Marguerite and Roxton have another argument. The others come back and meet Ronnie.
