Part 1

Chapter 7

Whisper woke up ands looked at the sleeping seal. She had the urge to strengthen the bond between them. She started grooming a patch of fur. It awakened Rojas and he stared at the chick. He smiled and relaxed, enjoying this immensely.

It took Whisper more than two hours to groom Rojas entirely. Afterwards, Rojas headed towards the water. Whisper followed.

"I wanna come." she said. Rojas smiled and picked her up in his mouth.

"Hold your breath Sausage."

"Kay!" She took a deep breath and Rojas dove in. Quickly, he made a break to the surface and hurried to shore. He splashed out on land and set Whisper down.

When Rojas showed signs of going away, she cried out.

"Don't leave me alone again!" she begged, looking at the flock of skuas. Rojas stared at the seabirds and understood Whisper's distress. Time to take charge.

"Listen up, Rats! None of you mess with this penguin chick! If even a feather is plucked off her, I will hunt you down and kill you all! Understand?" he shouted at the birds. They cowered and turned away, remembering what Rojas did to their comrade. Rojas turned to Whisper and smiled.

"I'll be back." He headed towards the elephant seals.

"Where you going?" she asked. Rojas stopped and took time to explain.

"Every once in a while, I go and eat some elephant seal pups and some small females. It's quite a feast."

"Why?" she asked in confusion. What possible reason would Rojas have to challenge these giant seals? A female may be slightly smaller, but they outweigh him two to one. At least!

Rojas looked back at her and smiled.

"To show them who rules this beach." he answered.

Whisper didn't understand this show of dominance. Then again, she's too young to understand.

"Be careful." she muttered. Rojas paused and motioned her over. She waddled up to him. Rojas gave her a long reassuring nuzzle.

"I'll be alright. I promise." he said softly.

"You double promise?" she asked. Rojas smiled and licked her.

"I double promise." he whispered in her ear. He turned to the seals and quickly stalked towards them.

Whisper watched. She soon began to realize that this could be the last time she sees him again. The thought brought tears to her eyes. But she quickly wiped them off. She shouldn't be crying. Rojas has done this before. And he's still okay. This should be no different.

With that, she began to explore the rocky slope, with the skuas keeping their distance.

"Mom! Help!" a pup yelled. It retreated away from Rojas still yelling for its parent. Rojas caught up to it and bit into its hind flippers. It screamed in pain as Rojas dragged it towards the ocean, intending to drown it.

Suddenly a seal almost the size of Rojas appeared and bit his foreflipper. Rojas let the young one go and faced his opponent. It was the pup's mother.

"Get away from him!" she said in a threatening tone. The pup moved towards its mother but Rojas seized its hind flippers and pulled it back. He took it under a foreflipper and dug his claws into its skin.

It screamed. The female seal lunged at Rojas, but he pulled away in time.

"Back off! This little one's mine!" Rojas replied, baring his teeth.

"You killed my last pup. You're not killing this one!" she told him.

"Oh? Well, watch this." He bit into the pup's throat and yanked back, ripping off the chunk of flesh.

The pup went limp, dying of shock and blood lost. As the stunned mother watched her child perish horribly, Rojas gulp down the meat.

The enraged mother quickly lunged at Rojas and bit into his back. Rojas made a gurgling roar. He returned the attack and bit into her foreflipper.

With a powerful thrust, he ripped off the limb. She let go and howled. Rojas grabbed onto her throat and used his bulk to hold her head down. As she struggled to get free and get some air, Rojas began to eat her. Looks like the feast has started.

Whisper looked around. She was over the harem, standing at the very top of the slope. She was trying to find Rojas when she lost her footing and sled down towards the massive seals. She bumped into a particularly gigantic seal. It was a male, the Beachmaster.

A Beachmaster is the dominant male and he is very aggressive to things he sees as a challenge. Unfortunately for Whisper, he didn't see her as a defenseless baby. The moment he looked at her, he was bent on releasing his tension.

He launched forward, wanting to bite Whisper in half. She got up and ran just in time. But the bull chased after her. Seeing this, she ran faster.

"Help!" she called out. She climbed over resting females and dodged as many obstacles as she can, trying to get away. But she was beginning to tire and was no longer paying attention on where she was going. She tripped.

She screamed as Rojas came just in time. He placed himself between the rogue seal and Whisper.

"Stay away Beachmaster! Or I'll rip you apart!" he warned. The larger seal huffed, then roared. But the leopard seal didn't budge.

"Get out of my way, Rojas. This is none of your concern." the Beachmaster said. Rojas stayed put. He was not going to let this short fused creature attack Whisper. He had worked so hard to care for her.

"You want Whisper? You gotta go through me."

Sorry this took so long. I was debating on whether to write this chappy first or make a second chapter to my new story...
