The Human's Retaliate
/by the nesting site/
Jamie and Haily had left to look for insects off in the forests. The babies were hungry, and they were going to attract the wrong kind of attention by their impudent squawks. They left Jay, Wrex, and Zomba to guard the nest.
Wrex and Zomba were watching the baby raptors. So far, twelve had hatched. This was a significant amount, considering one out of three would survive. Each of the small raptorlings were covered in a fine layer of downy feathers, giving them a chicken like appearance.
Jay took one last drink of cool stream water before stepping onto the bank. He shook his whole body, water flying everywhere. He stretched casually and yawned. A shiver went through his whole body as a dart hit him in the hip. He snarled and tried to grab the end of the dart, but he was feeling drowsy. He stumbled to the right, and fell onto his side. He tried to get up, but he was too drugged from the dart.
Wrex stood up to look at Jay. He yelped as a dart came from the other side of the stream and hit him in the chest. He snarled and snapped the dart to the tip. The dart was followed by another, which planted itself deep in Wrex's neck. He was down in seconds.
Zomba stayed sitting. He watched the other side of the river. Whatever was there was downwind and blind. Zomba only just blended with the grasses. He was watching, when out of the trees came a dart. It hit Zomba in the shoulder, and he yelped, jumping up. The second dart came after, hitting his hip. He was down, on his side.
Five humans stepped out of the trees. There was a tall, burly man with dark eyes and dark hair, a blue eyed blonde, and Hispanic origin triplets. They forged through the stream and made it to the other side.
The taller man grabbed a walkie talkie out of his belt. "Lege? Lege, its Farly come in."
"Lege here. Whets your position and status, Farly?"
"Three raptors down, twelve hatchlings. More pack members, these are all male."
"Mr. Marly's going to be happy to hear he doesn't have to research these bastards," Lege snorted.
"Contact him, and tell him we have at least fourteen new raptors."
"Alright, sir."
Farly turned his walkie talkie off. He turned to the blonde man. "Grab the raptors," he commanded.
"Who? Me? The big ones?"
"The hatchlings, Chris."
Chris nodded bleakly and took a box from his pack. He unfolded it and carried it to the nesting site. He was reaching down into the nest when one of the babies leapt up and landed on his chest. It scratched at him with its tiny claws and managed to give him a bloody face. Nonetheless, Chris somehow got all twelve of the hatchlings into the box.
Farly nodded. "Now you three, Guritize brothers, get the big ones," he commanded.
The three brothers nodded gravely. They were of strong build, and the seventy five pound raptors were nothing to them. There was a slight where, and a jeep pulled up to the men. "Put the adults in these, but be careful," Lege said, pointing to metal bar cages in the back.
Jamie and Haily suddenly burst into the clearing. When they saw what had happened, they were enraged. Haily ran up to Jay, in the mans arms, and rubbed the raptors face in attempts to wake him up. She grabbed the dart out of Jays leg and threw it to the ground angrily."What did you do to them?!" she yelled shrilly.
"Please step away, ma'am, these are highly dangerous creatures," Farly advised.
"Dangerous?! They are not 'dangerous!'" Haily shrieked. "I've lived with the for five months! They are not dangerous!"
"Who are they?" Farly asked Lege.
Lege shook his head. "Survivors?"
"No... But oh well. Lets get out of here. Chris, get the kids."
Chris walked up to Jamie and swung the butt of his riffle at him. Jamie crumpled in a heap. Before Chris could hit Haily, she uttered an un-humanly chirruping accompanied by a cough. Chris took a step back, looking confused.
"Sir?"
"Hurry! That's a call for help! The rest of the pack will be here soon!" one of the brothers said urgently.
Chris looked apologetically at Haily. His face was bleeding freely, and most of his face was covered in the hot, sticky, liquid. Even so, Haily could swear she saw pity in his eyes before she fell to the ground. Chris bent down, put his arms under the girls tiny frame, and lifted her off the ground. She felt as light as a feather, and was nearly skin and bones.
You see, Haily and Jamie had been living off o wild fruit and bugs, along with the occasional strip of raw meat from the generous raptors.
The men piled into the jeep, taking everything from the nesting site with them.
/MEANWHILE/
Jesper flitted through the trees effortlessly. His pack followed after him. He was nearly to the nesting site when he heard a strange sound. He concentrated long enough to hear the whirr of a motor. He stood straight up, on his back legs. His threw his head up and down as he called the other raptors to him with a raspy cough.
Chasidy, Sal, Soria, Loria, Qwill, Zanerkand, and Elsa fell in place, lining up in a circle around Jesper. Only minutes after they were all staying still, listening, they heard it. A rather strange call for help. Jesper was sure right away it was Haily.
Then, as soon as they had stopped, the raptors were fitting through the trees back to their nesting site. When they got there, it was too late. The eggs, the Raptors, and the humans were all gone. Jesper franticly searched for traces of the eggs. The other raptors sniffed around for any scents that would tell them where the others were.
Finally, Qwill stood up full and coughed to get the attention of the other raptors. They looked up from what they were doing as Qwill nosed the ground. Jesper walked over to him and sniffed the ground where Qwill was getting worked up. There was a splatter of blood, near the nests. Jesper instantly knew it was from a human, but he couldn't tell if it was the human invaders, or Haily and Jamie. He walked to where the blood seemed to stop and noticed the strong smell of more humans.
He purred, to tell the pack to quiet down and follow him. They did just that, following close behind their leader. They followed the smell of a motor for the longest time before Jesper stopped. He looked ahead to the opening of the river. There was a cage, and inside was the young raptors.
Without hesitation, Jesper dashed into the clearing. He just managed to dodge a dart aimed for him before he skipped back into the tree line. For the other raptors, however, it wasn't so lucky. Qwill had cautiously stepped out of the trees, and had a dart planted in his shoulder. He yelped and tried to pull it out, but was unsucsessful.
Sal and Loria flitted up to Qwill as the older raptor fell in a twitching heap. Sal nosed the raptor, but Qwill didn't move. There was a soft whirr and two darts found their mark. Loria and Sal were down in a matter of moments.
The other raptors were all hit somehow or other. The only one left was Jesper. He watched the clearing for the humans, for that was from what he knew the darts came from. When he saw three humans walk out, he dashed into the clearing and to the cage. He was so quick, the humans hadn't seen him. But when he was snarling at the bars on the cage, the humans aimed their guns and shot.
Once, twice, three times.
Jesper wasn't going to give in to the feeling of sleepiness. He continued to gnaw at the bars, but he was becoming slow and sluggish. He finally gave in and fell onto his side in a deep tranquilized sleep. The humans quickly ran to the downed raptors and loaded them into cages on the back of three jeeps.
The humans had cleared Jesper's pack from the island.

Well well well. If you don't like my story, its not my fault. I'm only 14, so don't shoot me over some mistakes. My computer's keyboard is sticky, so if there is a few mistakes, blame the board, not me. I consider the first few reveiws to be rather flames because I cant help if there is a few mistakes. Do I look like an editor to you? Well, I just have to clarify that I do this in my spare time and I really cant keep all the spelling errors out. Please, dont stop reading after this, but take time to remember that I am but an eighth grader, and yes my teachers teach us that words ending in Y = ie. so dont so that to me. I'm trying to keep up to the popular demand of my story by my friends who hate to reveiw because they just tell me what they think via school. Sorry if theres a spelling mistake.
Dont hurt me.
