Chapter 16

Part 2: Echo


Okay so this story was originally intended to be a humanXBlue and not a harem. But by everyone loving the latter idea I had to do it and here's the first problem. Because I didn't focus on the other three at all, I didn't build much on them like I did Blue.

So to fix this is some impractical way, their whole Alex Love would technically be noticed now as a sign of primal instinct. Because it's common for multiple animals to compete over who can get the opposite sex.

And that's exactly what Echo, Delta and Charlie plan on doing.

And sorry for the wait and no VDay chapter. February was one of my more dead times.


Echo's POV

Well, today is already interesting.

Woke up wet, wasn't happy. Got a plate of meat so good, was happy. Now sitting outside the medical center on the bench, thinking.

Why am I thinking? I should be out enjoying myself. This place had become paradise for our kind. I should be doing what I always like to do. But after what happened in there, I don't know why I'm just sitting here. It just feels so strange; was this what human life was like? Sit around and wait for something interesting. I could have a better time chasing birds than this.

But I want to figure way this was now happening. And the sound of Alex's voice caught my attention.

"...Rexy I know… that you're worried about me knowing… this. But I should of been… told a lot sooner. Maybe the time you first… changed"

I twist over the bench to see them walking away from the building. Rexy in her human form had a apologetic look on her face as she looked down to Alex (Rexy is about a 1'6" taller than Alex. So even now she's still big.)

"I know. But I was worried at the time. Humans don't react well when they see our kind suddenly be at eye level."

"*sigh* I know you meant well. But this… is something that could… of been cleared up… years ago. Well… I'm heading to the lagoon. Could use… a really nice and warm… soaking."

The lagoon? I know that place, it's a human made hot spring just a jogs distance away from the main road. Many people go there in their human forms to relax on the warm waters. This could be my chance to figure out my situation. Alex maybe a bit angry right now but he still is kind to anyone who needs help.

"Alright, be careful please." And at that Rexy went down a left hanging path leaving the human to continue to the lagoon.

Taking my opportunity I leap over the bench and race down the path. Making sure to keep a good distance and out of Alex's sight as he took the main path up a hill. It was one of the few that were cut out of the overgrowth to be remotely visible with a large layer of bush separating the surrounding jungle and the lagoon. I stopped my pursuit and hid behind a large tree and watched as Alex pushed his way through.

'Alright. Just go in, ask what's happening, crack a home about Blue and don't look at his pride in the water. Yeah, good plan.'

Creeping closer to the bushes I made sure to stay low below the undergrowth. Not wanting to draw any attention to myself as I push through noise first. On the other side was something completely different than the forest that covered the island. In a clearing the size of the lagoon back at the resort was a much smaller pool of water that was being held inside by a wall made to look like giant river rock with that smooth finish that covered a good ¾ of the lagoon. On the far side was a small waterfall that, while not like a roaring falls, spewed over into the crystal clear water that at no matter what time was always the perfect mix of cool but warm.

And over near the falls… was Alex. A glance at the left was a pile of his clothes lying in the sun as he swam in the opposite direction on his back towards the rock wall the falls were at. And while one would just see a human male drifting towards the falls, My gaze was permanently locked on the thin piece of meat he had between- 'NO! Bad Echo! Don't fall to your instincts right now. Tracks said it could possibly be the result of heat for this situation. Even though Blue got to cuddle up with him… But that doesn't mean you should go thinking it. This is your first time going through this, it's the first time for the others too, but that doesn't mean you go jumping on the first make that's exposed and- GAH! STOP THAT! THIS IS ALEX! He's pretty much like a caring older brother to you all. Hell a threehorn calls him her Daddy and even some hatchlings call him Grandpa!

...Whatever the Hell that is…'

Poking my eyes back over the wall I looked further to the right where Alex had now placed himself in a incrop next to the falls. His arms stretched out to the grove the rock was weathered away to keep himself from either sinking or floating. But the way he dat there almost seemed like an open invitation for her to just swim over and-

'Stop. IT! This is just the heat talking. Remember what Indy did when-' My mind paused mid thought. That night suddenly flashing past my eyes I recalled every event to lead up now. 'That white bitch of a overgrown lab rat already had her scent all over him. He still had traces of its once this morning. Though she herself said they didn't fully mate; but that he will be hers if we were to take him back. I guess that's why Rexy kept on pushing us to him. To prevent this… Great… come here wanting answers then suddenly it's so hot down there it'll start a fire if I move.

Damn you instincts! I Need it, and I Need it N-'

"Echo." "GAH!" I jumped up higher than I should of and spun around. Planting my feet/claws firmly on the ground in a crouching position I use when about to jump prey. I flexed my hand claws out wide brought my head just a little bit. Ready to attack whomever had the idea of sneaking up on me and my moment.

Only when I saw the person was I surprised and annoyed. "What do you want, Blue." I asked not caring for her answer. Even though I did want to know why she was here in her natural form.

"What are you going here? And why are you hiding in the bushes like this."

"Well I was just…" 'Just what, Echo? Hiding while spying on Alex bathing and thinking about stuff from before?' "practicing. Yeah, practicing! You know what happens when we let our hunting skills get rusty."

Blue seemed to shrug a little. It wasn't a complete lie. If we didn't go on hunts or even practice on ourselves we would get sloppy. But because there seems to a decent amount of available food at any time that has gotten a bit slow. But I knew the look in her eyes she was giving me. It was the same look right before our first real fight.

And without much say, she stalked over to me. Being in this human form meant that i was a lot smaller compared to my sister right now. And her coming towards me like trapped prey was a bit concerning. I tried crawling back away, not wanting to know what she had in mind. But I was unfortunately stopped by the outer rock wall that prevented me from going in the water. Blue continued forward bending her head down until she was eye level with me. Despite the slight differences in our faces, our human forms show much more emotion and expression, I didn't take a smart guy to know she was staring at me with that 'challenging' look.

"Stay away from Alex." she nearly hissed. "He's gone through enough for now and what he's done deserves a bit of freedom."

I smirked, "And by freedom you mean alone time for you to come up and mate with him." This actually made Blue recoil some. Gotcha, "We know you have it for him. But he's one for a lot. And you know what? That nice personality, kind heart and massive tool will be mine, Blue. Mine."

I watched as she took another step back. I knew I just got that sweet, sweet image in her head that I know will drive her crazy. Shaking her head a few times she looks directly back into my eyes. "This is your only warning. Stay Away from him." And at that, she turned and dashed into the trees. The only trace of her being her was her claw prints in the ground all around this area.

Thinking over her words I thought it out; Try and get Alex as my 'mate' and piss off Blue that I'm now higher up on the pole. Make Rexy proud and probably piss of Indy to a greater extent. Or actually listen and turn back away.

...What to do…

'Screw it.'

In one swift motion I grabbed my yellow shirt and ripped it clean off. I really didn't care about it, the clothes felt more restricting than free. But I guess it's a nice idea, because when a warm breeze blew past my exposed chest I literally shivered at its warmth. My bust wasn't as 'large' as other people I've seen in their human forms. Tracks said it was more or less slightly above average. Slightly above? These things are huge on me! And they surprisingly retain a much lighter color of my scale color, weird.

But with that out of the way the next part was to go. Now I didn't mind these shorts, they actually provide protection down there from getting dirty and me having to clean it every few hours. So over so gently I hook two fingers under the waistband and slide them off. Feeling the same warm air now covering my whole body like an invisible blanket, I honestly could sit right here and enjoy this feeling.

But this wasn't the feeling I wanted. The one I wanted was sitting in the water completely unaware of what was about to happen.

Twisting back around I looked over to the edge just enough to see Alex. His head was slumped to the right away from my direction, clearly on a deep sleep.

'Perfect'

As swiftly as possible I crawled over the rock and head first into the water. Once my whole body was submerged in the 10 foot deep lagoon I scanned the near crystal clear water for my prize. And I did, target locked, proceeding operation: Make Blue Lose It.

Floating to the bottom I used the smooth gravel like floor to pull myself towards the human. His body up to his mid torso was completely under water with his legs spread at an angle to where he seemed to float half his body. It was a perfect position for me, cause then I could swim right up from under him and bam! Mission accomplished.

Pushing to the surface I was just five feet away. My head hovering kist at the surface so my eyes saw my target looking… right at... me...

"Echo, what are... you doing?" he said in a familiar raspy voice.

'Oh my god, please tell me this isn't happening…'

I rose a little bit more, "Uh… enjoying the water?" I tried looking innocent. But it didn't work. Pushing himself up Alex closes his legs and leans up against the rock wall.

'God dammit, so close on the first try!'

"Mmhmm. And why's that?" he asked with a raised brow.

Now I've been caught in compromising positions before, but this was already number one on that list. I tried thinking of something. Anything! But nothing came up. I was literally stuck.

Alex seemed to take notice, because his facial expression softened just a little bit before he lean over. "Come here."

I gulp. Moving as slowly as I could, trying to make time go as slow as it could be made. But in just seconds I was floating at Alex's left side with him still watching.

"Closer…" I did as said. This wasn't what I was expecting right away, but I felt it coming. Worming closer I didn't realize I was so close until I felt the smooth wetness of his skin touch my bare hide. It really sent a shockwave through me when our sides came into contact.

Shifting a little he lifted his arm up around around my back hooking onto my left side and pulled my closer to him. Almost like an embrace Alpha used to do with use when we were smaller. But this was a lot different in the terms of intimacy. But I welcomed it completely; letting some of my body weight shift onto him like a life board as my legs curled up closer. It just felt so… lovely being like this. His own body heat slowly but steadily flowing into me. I couldn't help it, but a felt a low purer escape from me.

"Enjoying yourself…?"

"Mmmm… very." I tried snuggling closer. Just to feel more of his body touch my own.

"You girls really… are clingy to me… eh?"

I cracked a key open, "Well, you have proven to be a kind and very grateful soul. And we need to keep you as far away from Indy as we can." he gave a low hmmm at the answer.

"Are you mad at us?" I asked with actual wonder. The way he reacted said a lot for us all.

"I'm not mad… just, disappointed and confused. For… two years I haven't seen another human. And now you all are… human-ish and all. It's all… confusing."

I nodded. I guess that he had a point. To be away from one's kind for sometime with others and suddenly find out they are almost alike. Damn, even that messed with my mind. Pushing it to the side though, I wiggle closer to him so my head rested up under his chin. I could feel the tiny hairs on his jawline tickle against my snout as I took in a deep inhale.

"Even still. We'll be here for you. Especially me." I made the point form reaching around and giving his cheek a light lick. He chuckled before bringing his other arm around and tightening his embrace that I gladly relaxed into.

'He's gonna be my mate, I don't care who tries to stop me. Not Rexy-well, she's already trying to get the four of us, but he'll be mine alone. And not Blue or even Indy can stop me.'


So this is what has happened in the terms of lemon; Indy gave him his first hard licking, Blue literally slept with him in the nude, and now Echo enjoying a nice cool bath with both him in the nude. So, what do you think is in store with Delta?

I bet you all that came for the human X raptor part wanted a lemon in this scene. Have one of the more aggressive of the Raptor Sisters making the first real play.

So after Part 5 is done that will happen, But to who first?

The current review vote for who gets the prize first:

Blue-

Indy-

Charlie-

Echo-

Delta-

The order will change after each review that says who should be first.
