/Two Months Later, at the Nesting Site/
Haily and Jamie had spent the last two months on 'babysitting' duty. The adult Raptors would leave and go to hunt while they left -and trusted- Jamie and Haily to watch the eggs with Zomba, Wrex, and Jay. This showed that the pack trusted the two Humans.
Haily was sitting with her back against Jay's belly. Though the Humans both knew the Raptors names, Haily had affectionately nicknamed Jay 'Teddy' from his rough appearance but soft disposition. Wrex and Zomba were basking in the early afternoon sun, waiting for the other raptors to hurry with the spoils from the hunt. Jamie was sitting next to the stream, throwing pebbles and watching them skip across the water.
"Hey, Jamie?" Haily called.
"Yeah?"
"When do you think the eggs are going to hatch?"
I don't know. I'm not the dino expert," Jamie said, but their conversation was cut short by an agitated growl from Wrex. Wrex stood up and walked to the nest. He sniffed the eggs and purred softly. Haily got up.
"Jamie, I think the eggs are going to hatch!" she exclaimed, watching Wrex push leaves off of the top of the eggs.
"You think?"
"Come and look!"
Jamie walked over from the bank. He watched in total amazement as a tiny crack formed in the shell. Minutes later, a little raptorling snout stuck out of the egg.
Jamie and Haily watched, amazed, as the babies cracked their way through the eggs.
/MEANWHILE/
The raptors were separated from each other. Three on each side of the clearing, with the exception of Chasidy and Soria at the ends, ready to charge into the heard of Pachys. With a signal from Jesper, Chasidy fled into the open at her top speed, followed shortly after by Soria. The combination startled the dome-skulled dinosaurs and they forgot their aggressive nature to head for the hills, so to speak.
Right away, Chasidy and Soria singled one pachy out. Then it was Jesper's work from there. He leaped through the air and landed gracefully next to the pachy. Before it had time to move, Jesper latched onto its neck and dragged the struggling, four foot beast to the ground. Elsa leapt forward and slashed the pachy's belly, spilling its pale intestines. All the noise made the other pachys flee from the clearing instead of helping their fallen comrade. As the Pachy was still struggling to get free from Jesper's grip, with its intestines on the ground, the Raptors ripped large chunks of bloody meat from the Pachy's hide. In minutes, the Pachy's struggles grew weaker, and the Raptors were eating, all but Jesper. He still had a firm grip on the pachy because, even though it had suffered great damage, it could still disable one of his pack members to the point of death.
The way to kill their prey may seem brutal, but it was their only way to survive out in the wild. Eat or be eaten.
Finally, the pachy's struggles ceased all together. Jesper let go and tore a large chunk of meat from the pachy's shoulder. He was about to gulp it down when he froze. The chunk of meat fell from his grasp. The other raptors all went rigid, also.
The reason?
There, on the other side of the clearing, stood the male T-Rex. Thirty feet long, almost as tall as a gas station, and full of muscle, nearing twenty tons. It was just standing there, turning its head this way and that. Though its sight was great, it couldn't see long distances. Almost a fourth of a mile was a long distance, even for the burly beast who was named "Giant Tyrant Lizard." Then, with an ear shattering roar, the rex charged forward. It had smelled the raptors and the carcass. It barreled the fourth mile as if it were the fifty yard dash. It was only a long distance to see across. The rex stopped only ten yards from the raptors, hovering over them menacingly.
The raptors stayed their ground, hissing and spitting like cats. Jesper even got the nerve to hop four feet closer to the jaws of death and challenge the scavenger. The rex leaned down, its jaw nearly touching the ground, and roared another ear-shattering roar. Jesper took a few steps back, mostly because of the wind pressure from the beast's roar.
Chasidy retaliated on the rex by coughing and squawking, making the beast angry. The rex took a thunderous step towards the raptors, and they still stayed their ground. The rex snarled, advancing again, more meaningfully. This time, the raptors broke their formation, dashing out of the way. Some of them carried chunks of meat from the pachy in their jaws.
The rex shook his burly body, and all the muscles moved slightly, like a ripple. Then, he roared in his victory and snatched up the pachy. He threw it up into the air and caught it before it dropped, gulping it down in a single, viscous smack of his jaws.
Jesper stopped at the edge of the clearing. He snorted and shook his head. A hunt gone to waste. He suddenly went rigid again. He sniffed the wind slightly, but he didn't need to sniff twice to know that there were humans on the island again. He snorted, coughed, and jerked his head back to the nest urgently. The other raptors understood fully. They took off at a fast gait to the nesting site.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*
I dont know how this chapter really was. I guess it was a little bad, a little good. Try to tell me! I tried to add the Rex in, but I didn't sucsess in much more than making it look like a scavenger.... Ah well! Thats probly what it was anyhow!
