Well, chapter 4 is finally up and running! I'm sorry if it took a while, but hopefully this satisfies you. Anyway, enjoy!
Owen paced back and forth in front of Ian glancing at him every once and a while.
"If you are going to be trusted with something as valuable as our daughter, you need training," Owen stated as the Indoraptor nodded.
"I learned a few things from my time in the Navy, and I created some exercises that will work on a creature like you,"
Owen took out a rubber ball and showed it to Ian.
"I hid something in the woods with a smell like this," Owen explained, "You must bring it back in under five minutes. Understand?"
Ian smiled wickedly as he sniffed the ball.
"Time starts now,"
Ian took off as fast as his legs could carry him. Claire came from behind, and she slipped her hand into Owen's hand.
"How does it know English?" Claire asked.
"He caught on, after all, it was the language he heard first when he was born I suppose," Owen explained.
Meanwhile, Ian found the piece of cloth Owen hid in the forest. He began to run back, when a brushing sound stopped him cold. He turned slowly. The dark forest canopy created shadows that could make Bigfoot cower before them.
Suddenly, something leapt from behind and locked it's teeth on Ian's back. He thrashed around in a panic and whimpered in pain. Ian rammed his back against the tree, and the thing dropped off of him.
It was Blue.
"It's you!" Ian said to Blue in their raptor language.
"How do know me?"
"I saw you kill my family!"
"The dinosaur that tried to kill that family?"
"Yeah! That guy!"
"He was going to hurt the Alpha!"
"How do you know that for sure?"
"Didn't you see the rampage he went on to kill the girl?"
"He was slowly was reaching out to her!"
"Slowly playing with his next victim!"
Ian went silent. He had second thoughts on what he believed.
Blue took a moment to look at the dinosaur she was talking to. He was slightly muscular, and he was about two feet taller than her. Ian softened his expression into a crooked, lighthearted smile. Blue suddenly felt her insides twist as Ian came closer.
"You look beautiful you know," Ian stated.
"Really?"
"You bet! I've never seen a dinosaur so agile before. It's strikingly impressive,"
Blue smiled. A yell was then heard by a certain former raptor trainer.
"Ian! You've been gone for ten…minutes…"
Owen trailed off as he saw the scene before him.
"Hey, Blue. Long time no see huh?"
Blue made noises in response.
"Well, I guess you found more than I expected,"
Ian nodded and looked at Blue.
"Now that we have Ian. Do you want to come home with us?" Owen asked.
Blue looked at Ian, who began wagging his tail. Blue nodded.
"Welcome home, Blue," Owen replied, "Welcome home,"
Later…
Owen, Ian, and Blue headed back to the house. Owen built a small pen for Ian. Now it will have a new addition. Claire and Maisie were roasting marshmallows over a bonfire by the lake.
"Dad and Ian are back!" Maisie squealed as she ran to hug the two.
Claire gasped at the sight of Blue. Maisie ran behind Claire and grasped her hand tightly.
"Blue…" Claire whispered as Blue came closer to her.
"She's living with us now," Owen stated as Blue looked at Maisie.
"She won't hurt you, Maisie," Owen reassured, "Except anything that tries to hurt us,"
Blue yelped in response as Ian smiled at her.
"I have a feeling that I won't regret this," Blue said to Ian as she hugged him.
Hopefully that was a good introduction for the two raptors! I'll come back with another chapter soon. Beast boy and the Indoraptor are Beast Mode!
