"Drugged.Just perfect."{The Just means she put emphisis on that point.}
Sighing,she climbed into a nearby tree to wait for the morning.Hopefully the drug would wear off by then.
"If you dare move from the bottom of this tree you numbskull,I will personally rip your tougue out and slap you with it."{Isn't she so polite and kind?}
"Nighty night Glowy!"Was the chipper,perky reply.
Lotus gritted her teeth and reminded herself that without this raptor,she might never find Stormtracer.
And on that happy thought,she drifted off into a deep sleep.......
"Really?So you don't like anyone hear you play?"
"Yes,except for Roma."Iris nervously wringed her hands.{I think that's the right term.........please correct me if I'm wrong.}
"Roma?"Stormy asked.
"She's my gaurdian."Explained Iris."After my parents disappeared,she took me in and looked after me.Her children have long ago grown up and she felt lonely.I've always loved her dearly,even before my parents died,and she's often told me I'm like the daughter she never had."
"Oh."Stormy replied lamely.{Hey,if you just heard someone talking about their dead parents what would your clever reply be?Exactly my point.}
"I'm really sorry I woke you up."
"Ah,it's nothin'."Replied Storm gruffly."I never did sleep very soundly.I might as well go say hi to my mate."
"Won't he be sleeping?"Iris asked.
"Not for long he won't."
"Well.....bye."
"Bye."And Storm left it at that.
{You probably think I'm gonna either end the chappy here,or I'm gonna go back to Lotus,Reo and Arc,right?
BEEP
Wrong!Hehe.
Incase you wanna know,Storm and her hatchlings(plus Iris and Roma)Are in Carnassus,a small town located two inches left and one millemetre (sp?and no,the re doesn't count) above the B in Rainy Basin.Perfect for Carnosaur attacks,right?Well,not quite it exactly.............:)
Note:No people but the readers will be harmed during the next part,which will either make you hate me for using a idea so old it's from the Precambrian era,or make you jump for joy at my clever plotline.Enjoy!}
Sh'rlat woke up from a very disturbing dream about giant eight-legged berries attacking her and shaking the earth with their footsteps.She couldn't quite tell which was scarier,the shaking or the berries.
Probably the berries.She thought.
Untangling herself from the resting couch she slept on,Sh'rlat yawned widely.
Then she realized her nearby glass of water was shaking.{Yes,it's over used and decrepted,but I'm in the middle of a severe headache.}
Thump,thump,thump,thump.
Hmm.....interesting.
"Hey Anile.....Anile!Wake up!"She nudged her adopted Utahraptor sister with her beak.
"I told you.......four hundred fish should be enough......hey buster,I just saved your family from that falling tree,you say 'How can we ever repay you?',and in the end you refuse?Cough it up mister!"
"Anile!Wake up!I think there's something out there!"Sh'rlat whispered.
"It's sorta outside,so of course there's plants and stuff out there."Anile yawned widely.
"No,I think there's something-"Sh'rlat stiffened,along with Anile.
"You feel that?"Asked Anile calmly.
"Yeap."Replied Sh'rlat.
"What the heck was that?"Yram murmured sleepily.
Excited,terrified whispers buzzed.It sounded like a bunch of insects had suddenly found a way into the room.
"Everyone!Quiet!"The whispers stopped at Anile voice.
"Now,you all heard that right?"A few dozen clawed hands shot up."Okay then.I want you all to go wake up the rest of the village and meet me by the old ginkgo,you know,with the knarled branches?"Everyone nodded.
"Okay.Sh'rlat,Yram,Sharky,Tawny and I will get everyone else in this Inn out.Now,go!"Everyone scattered.
"Well,c'mon!"Anile shouted to the remaining youngsters.
Stormy was walking along,looking for Reo when she felt it.
"An earthquake!"She gasped,then ran back to the village.
{The next morning....}
"What do you mean that Carnussas was hit by an Earthquake?Sir,my fiance is staying there!"Will Denison panicked.{I bet you didn't see that coming...:)}
"Was staying there.Apparently the Skybax patrols could not find any survivors."Oonu(sp?) replied.
"Sir,I request permission to join the search."Will replied.{big surprise.}
"Very well Will,but I must warn you,there are at least ten Carnosaur tribes nearby to the city."
"I've dealt with much worst sir."
"Maybe,but these Carnosaurs are very formal and by no,and I mean no circumstances are you to enter their territory unannounced."
"Yes sir."Will replied,then left to find Cirrus.
