Darkness shifted slightly, uneasy from this speech. I am your mate, I will always remain by your side.... he growled, bowing his head slightly. Darkness lifted his head to watch Steeltalon, still slightly uneasy.

Sandstorm laughed slightly and barked "You have done so much for us I am glad to accept the risk. Riptide and ALL of his supporters are dead. They wont be coming back. If anything Shadow Leaf and I are more of a risk with our own preveoius feuds."

Steeltalon shrugged and gave a kind of half-nod. She glanced warily around the edge of the clearing. Why did she feel like something was watching them, planning its next strike? She froze when her eyes met Raven's, open to slits and watching her every move. I'll never get used to having him around, she thought with a shudder. Darkness had tried to kill her, but their hatchlings were in the nest beside them. Somehow, she didn't think she could ever get used to seeing Raven on the edge of the clearing, waiting for permission to eat or drink.

Switchblade continued to sleep, but something was invading her dreams...

An eerie echoing raptor cry jolted the Lili awake. The nest around her was empty. All the hatchlings had dissappeared. Darkness and his mate were nearby, Steeltalon still unconscious. Then she felt the ground behind her tremble as a footfall landed close by. She whirled around to see an enormous velociraptor with one of the hatchlings clamped in its jaws - dead. The raptor was dark grey with golden stripes down his neck and lower jaw. "Raven!" she screeched in terror, her voice echoing through the darkened forest. The monster of a raptor turned slowly to stare at Switchblade's tiny form and opened its mouth, dropping the hatchling's body and revealing needle sharp fangs. In absolute horror beyond any she had previously known, the Lili turned away and tried to sprint into the cover of a small cave. Her legs seemed paralized, rivited to the spot where she stood. She turned to peer helplessly at the raptor, her eyes wide, her mouth gaping. The monster snarled, a terrible, gutteral growl that seemed to rattle her bones. Then it belted out a deafening, demonic scream and lept. All Switchblade could do was watch as the huge monster soared through the air as if on wings, eyes burning with fire and killing claws extended...

"AHHHHH!" Switchblade screamed in panic. Her eyes snapped open and she sprang to her feet, leaping out of the nest at top speed. She tore through the black forest, narrowly avoiding crashing into the trees. Running faster than she had ever done before, a collision at this speed would surely be fatal. Her panicked state along with the blackness of the night made it impossible to see where she was going. Suddenly, there was nothing under her feet, then SPLASH! She had run straight into the river. Switchblade bobbed at the surface, gasping for air. "Heeeeeelp!" she called into the night.

Steeltalon heard a scream, then a splash, and staggered unsteadily to her feet, making her way down to the stream. She looked at Switchblade calmly and gently pushed the lili towards the bank with her snout, making sure that she had to swim slightly to get there. "You'll keep us up all night if you keep doing that," Steeltalon purred jokingly, but her voice wavered as she tried to stay standing. When Switchblade was fully out of the water, Steeltalon laid down on her side and asked, "What was that all about?" Her voice was no louder than it had been when she'd first woken, and her tone was gentle and caring rather than harsh and angry.

Sandstorm was closeing his eyes, just about to fall asleep when He heard a terrifyed scream. His eyes burst open and he jumped to his feet, thinking they were under attack. Seeing Switchblade drenched with Steeltalon caring for her he groaned loudly. Shadow leaf growled in anneoyance and rolled over, trying to sleep. Sandstorm kept his gaze on the Lili, wondering what happened...

RawClaw only looked down at the nest, not saying anything. "We need to rest. Let us lie down," he purred softly as he went to lie on the ground and closed his eyes, falling into a peaceful sleep.

Exile was getting tired of running. By now she was just beginning to enter Crusher's territory. She had to rest now. A barking yawn escaped her. She tried to press on, but she was too exhausted to do so. I will continue tommorow morning. Tommorow, they will all get it and see," she thought with a smirk as she lay down and tried to fall asleep.

Meanwhile, Killereye and his pack were just returning after another sucessful hunt. They were all very exhausted and ready to fall asleep. "Get a good rest. You all deserve it," murmured Killereye as he made his way to the back of the cave to get his own rest. The raptor chatters and barks soon died down as they all searched for a place to rest for the night in the cave.

Switchblade, having been shocked awake by the sudden drop into the river, was breathing fast and shaking slightly. "I- I," she panted, trying to catch her breath. "I had - a really - really bad dream." A slight wind began to blow and the Lili shivered, the night sucking the heat out of her body. Reluctantly, she tried to recall her nightmare. "I-it was Raven." she muttered, still unnerved. "He was huge. He killed your hatchlings, then tried to kill me. I saw one of them hanging out of his mouth." her lip curled slightly as she remembered the gory sight, but she made herself continue. "I was stuck. I couldn't run away or even move at all. Then he made this horrible scream..." she gritted her teeth and squeezed her eyes shut for a moment. " and he leapt at me, ready to kill me like he did the others. And then I woke up." She couldn't make herself explain the horrid details. It was too frightening just yet. She blinked up at Steeltalon, hoping her friend didn't think she was going crazy or paranoid.

Steeltalon glanced at the dark gray male who was again dozing lightly in the tree, and murmured, "To be honest, I've been having wierd thoughts lately. All to do with you, Switchblade. I keep thinking Raven will do something terrible to you." She shuddered and added, "Worse, even, than what happened to nearly all of our families." She forced herself up, staggering slightly. "You're not the only one with nightmares about him." She walked unsteadily back to the nest and laid down beside it. Beckoning to Switchblade, Steeltalon rested her head, keeping an eye on the sleeping Raven. She would sleep beside Switchblade tonight, because it was chilly...and because of Raven.

Silver rested her head beside Rawclaw's and closed her eyes, not sure what would happen to her brother if he harmed Steeltalon again.

Softfoot blinked her eyes tiredly. She stood up shakily and droped off the branch landing on the one below her. She made her way down the branches, carefull to pick out the ones that would hold her. When she reached the bottem she jumped onto the grass softly and crept into the cave. Everyone was already asleep. She walked slowly over to the spot she has laid in before and curled up. Quickly falling asleep.

by **Pyronychus** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 6:47 pm

Switchblade followed Steeltalon back to the nest, stepping carefully over the sleeping hatchlings, and laid down in her spot. What does she mean? the Lili thought, confused. Our families are dead. What could be worse than death? She forced herself to turn her thoughts away from Raven, and soon drifted into an uneasy sleep. She had more dreams that night, but none about Raven.

by **TyrannoTitan** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 7:21 pm

Darkness lifted his head, seeing Steeltalon by Switchblade. He shifted uneasily, not knowing what just happened. Darkness sighed, laying his head back down, still slightly uneasy about the day's events. A low growl escaped him, finally surrendering himself to sleep.

Diablo continued his trot to his territory. He eventually made it, and started patrol. This was a rather boreing patrol, nothing popped up, it all semed silent. Nothing stirred, he saw no signs of creatures in the bushes, it was as if his pressence had scared them all off, Diablo took it as a sign that he was slowly moveing up the food chain and then raised his head proudly as he marched along. But, because of the boredom, Diablo continued his thoughts on the fact that he had no mate. And he was begining to get old enough, his horns were growing, and his head was redening, a sign for Carnotaurs that they are matureing. But Diablo didn't feel ready, he didn't exactly know why but he didn't. He had memorized the mateing call, he was pretty sure he knew how to comfort a female, but he wasn't ready. Yet, Diablo promised himself no more fears, so he stopped, and looked around. "Okay Diablo, you can do this..." he said to himself. "Just exhale and..." Diablo breathed in, a long breath, then He let out a loud below. Almost like the sound of a trumpit, yet it had less of a musical tone, and the longer the call lasted the deeper it got. Until finnaly it was over. Diablo gasped for breath as he listened for a reply. If he got one.

Steeltalon finally settled into an uneasy sleep. She was plagued with scattered images until she finally dreamed something disturbing.

Steeltalon looked around her and saw her friends slaughtered. Every last one. Her hatchlings were at Raven's feet, who stood at the center of the massacre. The sky was blood-red with the first light of dawn...or was it freshly spilled blood? Whatever it was, it drew Steeltalon's attention back to her dead friends and her mate, who was closest to her.

And in the center of the devastated clearing was Raven, Silver and Rawclaw in front of him, dead. The four hatchlings and Switchblade stood in front of him, covered in bloody wounds and wailing in pain. The eggs in a nest beside Raven were smashed; the contents seeped out in a small, sticky river.

"Kill us!" Switchblade was squealing to Raven desperately. "You've already done enough!"

Raven smirked and raised his killing toe, hacking off all five of the young dino's heads in one smooth motion. Steeltalon's scream of horror went unheard as Raven turned to face her and slit her throat with a swift kick.

She choked on her own breath and blood bubbled in the wound as she saw, not Raven, but Riptide, Night, Amberclaw, Red Death, and all of the rest of the group who had wiped out Steeltalon's family. They were laughing, jeering, and then one voice came to her louder than the rest.

"WAKE UP!"

Steeltalon jerked awake and found herself staring into terrifyingly familiar green eyes. She gasped as her hand instincively jumped to her throat, but aside from the bite wound she'd recieved from Amberclaw, it was fine.

"You were screaming in your sleep," Raven growled. "Something about Riptide and Switchblade." His eyes glinted with faint interest.

"I...it was nothing, Raven," Steeltalon hissed shakily, removing her hand from her throat and relaxing slightly, though not by much. The sky was tinted blood red, reminding Steeltalon horribly of her dreams.

Switchblade faintly heard someone yell something. Her tail flicked and her head repositioned itself. She almost woke up, but sank back to the depths of sleep, still emotionally exhausted from her night terror.

by **Stallordasaurus Rex** » Mon Jul 23, 2007 8:45 pm

The Rex was fritghtened away from something bigger. The big creature let out a roar, It was a giganotosaurus roring in the distance somewhere, It had scared the rex away.

Today was the day Redclaw had to find a mate. He left the pack and traveled to a place near a large lake. When he got there, There were a lot of other Nanos there. "Whoa..." He ran off into the group, along with the some other young males in his pack.
Redclaw walked along the group, a lot of the other Nanos had found mates already. "Where is a good looking female when you need one?" He then found a lone female, away from the group of other Nanos, He headed towards her. "Hello there..."
She looked at him "I am Dawn, You are?" She said, kindly.
"I'm Redclaw" He growled.
"Nice to meet you, Redclaw!" She replied.

Steeltalon was breathing a little heavily from the shock of how vivid the dream was. She was trembling slightly as she tried to avoid Raven's curious gaze. I haven't had....a dream quite like that in a while... she thought as she pushed herself into a crouching position. I'll have to tell Darkness as soon as possible...as well as Silver and Switchblade. They have to know. Steeltalon watched the sun come up, red as her own eyes. She was still shaken by the nightmare.

orange sail had woken from his sleep when he heard an annoyingly familiar rex roar on the east side of the lake shore. he stood up and and quickly found the scent of the rex. this was the scent of the same rex that he had seen earlier and this meant the rex was intruding again. orange sail had been about to roar at the intruder when a roar broke the silence. the roar wasn't from orange sail, but from another predator. the spinosaur could see the rex thanks to the light from the clear night sky. orange sail saw the rex quickly turn and flee, running to the east. orange sail didn't roar in case he woke razor edge. the spinosaur closed his eyes and returned to sleep. everything was almost quiet again, the only sounds came from the insects still in the jungle, unseen by the sleeping spinosaur.

Darkness awoke suddenly, jumping to his feet, barring his teeth. He swung his head back and forth, his eyes turning to slits. Raven... Darkness snarled, eyeing the raptor. His head snapped to Steeltalon, eyeing her with the insane look he had when the eggs were first layed. Darkness walked toward the nest, eyeing the sleeping hatchlings. He snarled, turning back to stare at Raven, hatred clouding his gaze. Darkness snarled again, his head snapping forward. He walked over to his mate, laying down a few feet away. Darkness was uneasy, scanning the jungle, his gaze always returning to Raven.

Steeltalon jumped slightly as her mate aproached, looking concerned. "Bad dream," she breathed, some of the fear leaving her gaze. "Really bad dream."
