It's Not The Raptor DNA

Chapter 29

"A Debt to Rexy."

Stupid attackers.

Blue made a sharp whip around the large trunk as her sisters dodged their own obstacles. Delta made a large leap over a tall bounder, and Echo skittered over the trunk of a long dead tree. Blue was happy to be running again, but she had to focus on the mission.

White One was acting as a second Alpha. Blue accepted her as such; she cared about the pack now. Alpha was in touch with White One; they understood one another.

Blue had agreed with White One; this harmless attack was an attack regardless. No one messed with this pack and lived to brag about it. Blue was not that forgiving.

The three broke into the clearing, and Blue stuck close to the tall fence as she began to make her loud 'I'm here' barks. Her sisters stuck close to her as they began to do the same, and they waited before a loud roar shook the earth. Blue clutched the dark weapon against herself before giving a sharp snort as they bolted over.

Rexy broke free from the trees before letting loose another furious roar. She had heard the roar from White One. On one hand, Rexy was absolutely proud of how terrifying that roar had been. It shook the trees, echoed through the jungle, and demanded Death's very presence.

Regardless of how wonderful the roar had been, White One was still just a youngling; she was Rexy's responsibility. Rexy would be there to protect her even if it killed her.

Rexy turned her head towards the fence when she heard the sharp barks from the raptors. She didn't like how White One wasn't with them; she didn't like how they were trying to get her attention. Was White One in danger? Rexy wondered if she was overwhelmed by another attack, but that didn't make sense to her.

As much as she hated raptors, she would never deny they were brave creatures. Sometimes brave to the point of being dumb, but they were brave.

And noisy, raptors were so noisy; always chittering or barking. It drove Rexy up a wall just thinking about it. She liked the silence of her territory. She would only tolerate noise near the false log, and she had learned to ignore it.

Rexy almost gave a sigh at the overly excited raptors; she didn't know their tongue. She recognized few calls. A call to hunt, to run, and to attack. She lowered her massive head to their level before blinking at the blue raptor.

Rexy knew what that was in the raptor's claws. She had seen several humans use it before, and they had even used it on her twice. The first time to get her in this walled territory, and the second to help her when she had grown ill so long ago.

Did the blue raptor intend to use this on her? She didn't think they were that smart, and she didn't seem to be holding it correctly. Rexy wasn't exactly sure of the correct way, but it didn't look like that.

Rexy startled when the blue raptor began to shove the weapon towards the fence. Was this raptor not aware of what this fence did?

Clearly not when the shiny tip drew nearer to the buzzing fence, and Rexy gave a stern snort. She was more startled when Blue paused, and looked at her questioningly.

Velociraptors could actually listen to others?

Rexy could have fallen over dead at all of this, but instead she gave another snort to not touch the fence. The confusion clouded the raptors' eyes, and Rexy was frustrated; the language barrier was a bitch.

Blue gave a frustrated huff. Why wasn't she allowed to push the weapon through? She wanted Stern One to catch the attacker's scent. She didn't think Stern One would be so territorial. Blue wished White One was here to translate, but she had to stay there so Alpha didn't know about this plan. It had to be a backup.
