Eric's POV
Eric's heart was pounding. 2 days on the island and he hadn't once stumbled into a situation like this. The raptor wasn't hunting, that he was sure of. It seemed to be protecting it's young
"Just my luck, i run into a overly protective mom!" Eric fought against the raptors foot, managing to move it slightly off him. Earning a growl from the raptor.
The iconic whipping of a helicopters blades shouted over head as gunshots rang out hitting the ground around them. The younger raptors dove into the bushes while the female starred into his soul for a few seconds more before retreating into the tree line a. thump hit the ground beside Eric as he sat there staring off at the canopy
"How'd you get you're self into this mess?" Eric heard a voice ring out somewhere to his left.
"Never, ever. come between a Utahraptor and her young" Eric said still breathing hard.
"Oh that wasn't her offspring, if it was you'd be dead" the voice replied, Eric looked to his side to see a pair of boots stumped in the mud. He slowly pushed himself up into a standing position and examined the new person in front of him. He had short curly red hair with a tan button up shirt and blue denim jeans, his eyes where a faded green color and he wore a brown light jacket.
"Let me guess, you're the scientist they sent" Eric groaned, even if he just saved his life Eric usually worked alone. His presence was a insult.
"I am, and you must be Eric Multian. I've heard a lot about you" He replied, with a smirk across his face. For the first time Eric noticed a scare across the mans face, as if he's been in dangerous situations before. Eric began to respect him slightly more
"You don't look like i pictured you" Eric noted, nodding his head at the strangers appearance. Which only widened the smirk on the mans face
"No, i suspect i don't. My name's John Kingson" John thrust out his hand. Eric cautiously drew up his own hand and shook john's.
"Tell me" John noted "What DNA samples have you collected already?" the man grabbed a 44. Magnum from it's holster and checked the ammo, Before spinning the barrel and shoving the gun into it's holster again. This made Eric remember his own pistol and he trekked into the bushes to find his colt, it was a custom made gun that held 10 rounds a clip.
"Triceratops, and velcioraptor" Eric replied "The raptor was a tuff puppy to track but 1 tranquilizer took it down" Eric looked over John who was nodding his head.
"Well let's get back to that camp of yours" john unsheathed a machete and cut down a leaf blocking there path "It'll be dark soon, and i'd prefer to stay away from that UtahRaptor"
With out another word Eric was off, leaving john to scramble behind him with a T-Rex roaring in the back round.
Ash's POV
After the Flying demon arrive to save the human ash and her students watched from the bushes as another human leapt off a long twisting vine that hung from the side of the beast in the air. The two talked for a while and then left. Not really interested in them Ash gathered her students and continued to search for prey
"That was so cool! Did you see how that human tamed a Flying demon and rode it to save his pack member!" Mare wagged her tail and tried to demonstrate the demon that had spat at them
"Oh, and how the human jumped down from the vine!" Tineye pipped in, leaping onto mares back and sending them both rolling on the ground
"Mare, tineye!" Ash growled in furstration "That wasn't a game, the humans are dangerous. Don't you EVER run off again understand!" by the end of her sentence Ash was almost fuming with rage and glaring down at her two apprentices, who where shifting uncomfortably under her gaze
"Y-yes Ash, we're sorry" Mare managed to stumble the words from her mouth. and nudged tineye who nodded in agreement.
"Over here!" Little pip squeaked "I've found a herd of galli…..galli…. gallimimus!" His voice soothed Ashes emotions, and she gave mare and tineye one last long look, before spinning around and dashing to meet pip. He was staring at a crowed of 7 foot golden creatures with long necks and a small head butting from the top
"well done pip" Mused Ash and she nuzzled his head "which one do you want to take" Pip scanned the peaceful gallimimus and motioned for a older looking one
"That one!" Pip beamed as Ash nodded her head in approvement.
"Ok, me and mare will chase the herd towards you and Tineye." Ash described her basic attack maneuver to all three raptors "then you'll peel of the one you want and begin taking it down, we'll join as soon as the herds well away from the target" The other three raptors nodded as Ash and Mare began to circle the clearing towards the back of the gallimimus herd
Remember, we're only the decoys. Don't attack until Pip and Tineye have the target" Ash spoke to her apprentice, who nodded and kept her eyes on the herd. Ash began to feel the blood rush through her body like it always does when she's about to make a kill. She tapped her toe claws on the ground signaling for mare to get ready, and she crouched on her hunches ready to sprint into a stunning 55 MPH. Then with a mighty cry she and mare leaped into a deadly sprint towards the rear of the herd, which began running at once. Mare being shorter could not reach her full speed yet, so Ash slowed down until her and mare where racing neck and neck. Then Pip and Tineye rushed in cutting off there target from it's heard, running along side it for a short while. Pip made the first strike, slashing his claw against the soft skin of the gallimimus, which bellowed in pain in response.
Mare and Ash split from chasing the herd and cornered the animal from running off away from Pip and Tineye as they took turns jumping onto it and inflicting minor wounds. Then Ash stepped in and gripped the things throat, pinning it down as pip grabbed it's head and snapped it's neck.
All four raptors roared in victory and began dragging the carces back to the nesting ground, but the entire way home Ash's thoughts where haunted by the human
