I own nothing but Alex. Thankyou for the faves, follows and reviews they really inspire me to update. :)

Alex POV

I was shaking in fear as the rancid smell of rotten flesh wafted into my face causing me to cringe.
The raptors face was made up f hundreds of smooth scales which changes colours in the light giving him a enchanted yet dangerous look. Leaning in closer made me slide back as far as possible as small trails of tears poured from my eyes without my permission.

Suddenly one of the females that I raised barked making not only me but the male as well as she smelled me. I had no idea where the other raptor was most likely scouting out a nesting area.

I shivered as ice melted and drizzled down my spine making my back arch slightly. The male swung around as the door slammed shut making my eyes widen. The kid's had locked me in here with the raptors.

I released a shaky breath knowing I was going to die and these were my last moments. My shoulders trembled viciously as the female smelt me and nudged my face turning my face while the male watched curiously.

After a few moments of sniffing me and making my stomach churn with terror, I gasped when her tongue slid up my face and she released a curious squeak.

I held my breath as I looked at her, she was indeed one of mine and it looks like she knew that by her stance, she was covering me slightly as if to protect me from danger. I smiled slightly in hope and raised my shaking hand and very gently slid it up her nose making her eyes slide shut and a rough sounding purr emit from her throat.

I straightened up a little as my fingers brushed over the top of her skull as her head bent to my ministrations. Her scales were strong but smooth and soft. The moment was ruined when a bark screamed from the male making the female slid into a defensive pose like how a tiger protects her cubs she was guarding me.

My heart was still pounding and because of the extra air I was slightly panting I was starting to get a little dizzy.

The female bowed to her alpha but I could clearly see the defence still she was projecting a defiant posture. Her tail swung slightly as the male growled and edged around her towards me. I shivered when she moved away taking her body heat with her making me shake violently in from the cold.

The alpha male sniffed my hair making it slide over my shoulder, next his nose dug painfully into my chest as I shifted my arms as far as I could behind me searching for something to hold onto. He smelt my chest before his nozzle drifted up to my neck which he nipped making me jolt in fear as I attempted to scoot away but he locked his jaws over my shoulder so I couldn't move, surprisingly his teeth didn't tare threw my flesh like I was anticipating. Instead he pulled me back in front of him before licking my face and pulling back inspecting me.

I shivered before he barked at me making me jolt and stand hesitantly, the female who I was going to call Ash due to a light patch of grey scales under her chin, purred at me before turning and nudging the door trying to get it to open.

When I was stood the alpha male who was now going to be called Check, (I don't know why he just seemed like a Check) circled me sniffing my spine before his head appeared next to my right arm where it had sliced open from the sharp ice.

I was about a 4 inch gash and was still drizzling blood in thick streams but at a slower pace then when it was first sliced.

I shivered as he ran his tongue up the gash gathering the blood in a small pool on his thin tongue before swallowing it. His eyes shuttered before he heard a bark from outside the room. We all turned and saw the last female raptor outside the door, I saw the door handle turn but it didn't open. It appears Lex had locked the door.

She was barking on the other side and resorted to bashing into the door until the hinges burst and the door flew across the room smashing loudly into the metal shelves which were holding fish portions.

The new raptor was another I had raised as purred when she saw me looking to her other pack mates who released odd shrill noises as though conversing before she backed away and rotated so she was flanking her Alpha male.

Check gave me a look before barking slightly to Peach (the last female, she was named Peach because of her slight red toned scales detailing her back in slight specks.)

Peach turned to me and barked as though she was talking but I couldn't understand, I just started to follow her as she walked cautiously through the freezer door and walked down the hallway as Check and Ash went the other direction most likely smelling out the other humans and prey.

Peach headed around the building occasionally pausing and tilting her head as if listening for something.

It clicked in my mind, she must hear the baby raptor calls on the other side of the building, I gasped attracting the attention of Peach who glanced at me before her eyes narrowed in on a noise before she barked gently at me before trotting of making me jog after her as her legs were longer she was getting further faster then me.

When I noted we were nearly at the hatchling observatory when we heard what sounded like gun shots, I jumped as Peach barked before shooting into the room where the baby raptors were. I followed quickly and nearly cried in joy when I saw the baby raptors hopping around the enclosure which hadn't broken down apparently.

Peach was leaning over the fence looking at them and sniffing them before purring, they squeaked back shyly before they ran to her jumping to try and get to her, I glanced over at the gate before going and unlocking it thankfully the electric leading to the bolts had short circuited otherwise I would have to lift them over the fence and considering they were quite heavy.

The four baby raptors ran from the enclosure, two ran to Peach and the other two rubbed their necks and heads over my legs like a cat does when scenting their owner or property.

I knelt down and stroked their heads gently and down their necks making the pair of young ins purr loudly making me smile, looking to the other two I saw Peach was nudging them gently and rubbing her head down their necks like a mother does.

I grinned before being nipped on my arm courtesy of Ace, the one who I connected with the most and was the alpha of the hatchlings.

Peach let out a small bark attracting my attention, she was turning and starting to leave the room before giving me a look. I followed quickly with the little hatchling between me and Peach's as she lead us all out into the wooded area through a broken fire exit.
