Chapter 7


Sorry for the short chapter.


Blue's POV

6 Days Later...

Humans.

Oh how I will never understand thee.

The first day after they gave us the shot, me and my sisters were trying to adjust what was happening.

To put it in a reasonable way, all the people on this land had the same liquid put into them that can make their bodies change from their giant forms to just above human size. So when we were told we can do it, Echo tried later by grunting loudly like she was trying to lay a massive egg that all but ended with a headache to follow.

For the next three days we were shown around the area where everyone stayed. Where the food was, how to get back to the center of the island to our old home. It was… strange being lead around by the queen in her 'form'. But what I couldn't understand was what she wore over herself. A large piece of cloth cut in various areas to allow her large legs and tail to move freely. I didn't see the point. It offered no protection of any kind.

She did explain it was a human custom to wear something over one's diligent parts to be respectful to another. Just about everyone wore some kind of it.

Then on the fifth day. It happened.

It was around morning when a loud yell just inches away from my head made me and the others all jump up and see what happened. To our surprise, Charlie had changed into her new form. She still looked like herself but stood on her legs more straight up. Her neck was much shorter with her forearms now longer ending in a talon hand like limb. At first she had problems walking, mostly due to her injury still healing even after all this time. Delta stood at her side as Charlie took a few steps forward before breaking out into a run. While she was technically the slowest of the four of us, even now she was just as fast. When the Queen noticed this, she had Charlie dragged away to be 'fitted'.

When she came back, we couldn't believe what we were looking at. She was now wearing human clothes. A unbelievably yellow top that hugged her torso tightly enough to still be comfortable with a black bottom that stopped just above her knees. If I didn't know any better, I would've said she was human. But come that night her body reformed back to her original state with the clothes strangely disappearing.

But during all this our attention has been stuck on Alex. His state has been one of question with him showing signs of improvement then all a sudden he's back down in pain. He hasn't woken up for the past week or moved very little at all. Terra would come by with a cone like object, lift his head up, and pour water down his mouth. Running a hand over his throat to pushed it through.

With us now appointed as his 'guards' we decided to take turns watching. Me and Delta had the night while Echo and Charlie had the day.

So now I sit here on this field of cushions with my body snuggled nicely into them, my tail curled up so that it was close to me and Delta on the other side of Alex's nest. Glancing over I could see Delta was already fast asleep. While we did have to watch we still tried to get some rest to keep us going through the night. Looking him over I stared at his reddened face. His head angled just slightly to me. Puffing out once I adjust myself before laying my head down. Using his own massive cushions to lean against I let my eyes closed ever so slowly.

But moments later they jolt open.

I could feel something on me moving. Just along the inside of my neck across my hid. Going down before stopping and going back up to the top to start again. It felt cold, like life of it was non existent. But yet warm of its manner. I'm glad no one was around to see this, because my back arched up some so that I could feel more of it. A soft purr escapes from me, it just felt so good!

I remembered when Alpha would do this when we were smaller. I would sit on him in his strange brown thing he sits and he would rub there until I got off his lap from boredom or fell asleep. But this feeling was different. The gentle stroking wasn't like it was meant for pleasure but…

"Blue…"

I felt all my veins suddenly contracted in size. My breath caught in my throat as I carefully, ever so slowly, turned my head to the side. Surprised to see that one fave.

Alex was looking down at me with his puffy red eyes. The look of complete exhaustion was as clear as day with his arm draped over the side. Just barely holding onto me.

"What… what are you doing… here?"

"We were assigned to keep watch of you." I answered. Still trying to get the fact of how clear we can both understand each other.

He doesn't say anything back. He just continues to rub that one spot that I was trying to resist from giving in. I try to get closer, almost having my body now be on top of the bed to get as much as I could. But when I feel a sharp hiss, I quickly retracted. I swear that one of my claws had made a tear in the sheet just big enough that it went through and was dragged across his left leg. Fear quickly overtook my mind, jumping up I grabbed the top of the sheet before ripping it off of him. Tossing it away I quickly looked at the cut. And to my utmost relief there was no sign of blood.

The thought of Rexy finding out about this made me feel like all the color on me was gone now and replaced with a white brighter than the Monster.

"Thanks for that… Blue."

At first I didn't know if he was being sarcastic or just forgiving. But when the stench hit my nostrils, I was moments from collapsing right their. The white bedding that he was laid on had a massive dark spot where his body was. Thankfully it wasn't what one would expect but the product of his body trying to stay cool. I was use to this. So was the others. Alpha would smell like rotting meal days old to a strange greasy like smell.

But Alex here was completely different. He was… well… I don't know how to describe it. It was mix of something so fresh you didn't want to be anywhere without it and something foul that still smells good. (What's up with that?)

"No problem." I try to do a smile for him. For my kind it was. For anyone else it would look like I was ready to feed. But his reaction told me that he knew what I meant.

Then things started popping in my mind about times with Alpha in our old home. How every time he would talk to us we would try but he couldn't understand. I saw he did understand our tone but not our words. And with all that we've been taught for the past week, there's still so much more I can ask. But I knew that would have to wait.

How long? I don't know. But I do hope soon. Because from what everyone has been like around him; Terra calling him her daddy. I remember when Charlie would call Alpha that when we were still small. It wasn't until we got bigger did we go to calling him Alpha. Rexy who I have no doubt thinks of him as a hatchling. Why, I do not have the answer to that. And everyone else. Everything here literally changed since that fateful day.

Then I felt his hand touch my neck again. Breaking away from the thought I saw his eyes were shut as the settled breaths of his sleeping form returned.

I just stared at him for a moment. It was truly weird how things just changed so fast. Realizing that the cut was still visible, I quickly jump up and find a much thinner and clearer sheet. Dragging back over him I set it just below his neck. Letting him still have his arms out if he ever moved again. Taking a glance over him again, then to Delta who during all this didn't show a sign of noticing at all. I stepped back some before spinning around in my spot before gently laying back down.

Making sure my head rested on a comfortable spot I dig my snout down under his hand. Wiggling it some till it rested on that one spot again before falling into the grip of sleep.

.-.-.-.-.

Meanwhile, Rexy stood there just outside of the tarp that cover the entrance. Peering inside the building from a break away.

Part of her was relieved. Alex had woken up. Even if it was just briefly. It was like a thorn in her heart, seeing someone she felt was like her hatchling of another kind made a ever growing pit pulse in pain. Wishing to what human god she could think of, just like before she prayed in her mind that he would pull through.

This wasn't the first time. In these two years this was the fifth time he got even remotely sick. But each one was worse than the last. And this one was reaching a new higher bar. She feared that this time, he might not make it.

While the strong will survive, they too can fall from things that can be prevented. And Rexy hoped that Alec was just staring enough. For her, Terra, everyone.

And apparently now Blue and soon, her sisters.


I'm debating on having this either a Blue X Human or a whole Raptor Squad X Human.

Take your pick, I can work with either.

Yes, Owen will be in this story. No, his roll in it will not be big but will be effective.
