Chapter 2: Speed
Ash's POV
After a long night of sitting and thinking over what streak had said ash decided that she would forgive him. After all, thats what daughters do Support there father. Even though streak wasn't officially her father. She liked to think of him that way, Her parents had abandoned her at a young age, and she could never forgive them for that. Back when she was only a chick streak took her in, He wasn't leader then but he always talked about what he would change if he was leader. When she was old enough he taught
her how to hunt, and how to wait 'The key to hunting Ash, is knowing when to strike, and when to run' she recalled a fond memory of them stalking a edmontasaurs. Back then she was horrid at waiting, just like tineye and mare.
A loud noise made her jump from her memories back into the present to see pip was tackling tineye, while mare was glaring at them. This earned a chuckle from there mentor and all three looked up at her with bright eyes.
Pip had dark green scales and Yellow spots on his back, the feathers on his arms and tail where a slight white shade and he had silver eyes.
Tineye was a whitish gray hue with black spots down his back and gold eyes.
While mare was a simple dark gray blended togeather with brown spots and purple eyes.
"And what might my favorite raptors be doing here?" She mused quietly
"We came to get you!" Tineye squealed
"Yea! I was going to hunt today remember!" Pip chirped triumphantly and he wiggled his tail and pounced on mare, who shook him off and got him into a neck hold
"Alright, alright. Stop fighting you two, I'll be out in a moment" Ash purred and stood up as the 3 raptors bolted out of her den and waited outside followed soon by there mentor
"Ash! Come quick!" The black raptor from yesterday called her over motioning towards the elders den. Ash's heart sank and she made a mad dash for the elders den and poked her head inside.
"He didn't make it" one of the packs medical raptors looked up as ash walked in
"Suffered to much from his wounds yesterday" the other one noted, then both got up and left to prepare a burial
"I can't believe it" Ash growled softly
"The last emotion he saw from me was disappointment..." Ash growled at no one in particular
"It's my fault" ash whipped around to see the black raptor from yesterday standing there Ash wanted to thrash him right then and there, but she couldn't pull herself to move a inch. The grief in his eyes was real.
"I shouldn't of challenged him, And now you have to pay for my stupidity" He looked up at her with a deep longing in his eyes
"W-who are you?" Ash examined him, noticing for the first time the marks that streak left
"Of course, just my luck. You don't know me." He sighed and looked down at streaks body
"I'm stream, hunting pack delta" He nodded towards her still keeping his eyes on streak as if expecting him to come back to life.
"I guess you know who I am." Ash inquired Stream, she wanted to test him. To yell at him. But couldn't bring herself to it, Something in the way he looked at her made ash uncomfortable
"You're ash, Hunting pack alpha, best hunter in the pack. You should go, pip is waiting" He nodded his head to the entrance, where pip was pacing back and forth
"I'll, see ya around I guess" She felt awkward talking to the raptor that killed her dad, and with out waiting for a reply she got up and left. Looking back at streak one last time
Eric's POV
Eric was looking across a field observing a T-Rex make a kill. Eric had been on the island for about 2 days when BioGen called on his satellite phone, informing him that a scientist was coming to help speed along the project. So far Eric had collected about 2 DNA samples and was keeping them in a cooler back at his camping site
"What can a scientist do that I can't?" He grumbled to himself talking to no one in particular. Just then the bushes beside him rustled which made Eric jump up and grab his pistol, pointing it towards the bush A small two legged raptor jumped out, and Eric relaxed, he grabbed a book filled with the dinosaurs on Site B and this classified as a Utahraptor. Suddenly the bush rustled again and 2 more jumped out
"Aren't you three supposed to be six feet tall?" Eric asked, to his surprise the gray raptor nodded it's head
"You can understand me?" Eric challenged, looking suspiciously at the raptor. It stood for a moment, then nodded. suddenly a much larger, 5 foot tall raptor emerged out of the bushes nearby, and froze in it's tracks when it saw Eric
"Uhh...Hi?" He asked, only to receive a hiss from the raptor. This raptor was Gray, with black specks across it's body. And it sorta looked like Ash in the small rays of sun that penetrated the canopy
"Ok, Let's all be rational" Eric said and slowly stood up, tossing his pistol aside the raptor made a call and all three of the what Eric assumed was children scurried behind the new raptor.
"Umm, Well I'm Eric" He introduced himself, trying to distract them, while he slipped past them, but the adult wasn't buying it. Well what he assumed was a adult
He stepped on a twig and the gray-black raport jumped on him. Pinning him down with it's foot, the claw threateningly against his throat.
"Wow, very friendly" He said, more to himself than anyone, the raptor roared in his face, it's breathe reeking of meat
