RawClaw nuzzled Silver, and barked in soft tones. "I am going to find food for the hatchling...I will be back." He gazed at the little chirping female and gently nudged her before running off to go find a suitable food source for the hatchling.
RawHide, meanwhile was still following Exile's scent, but he suddenly froze when he smelled another scent mingling with Exile's. He couldn't recognize it, but he decided to follow it instead. As he got closer to the smell, he came to a slow distinction. It was SharpClaw...but she smelled different somehow. SharpClaw...SharpClaw, where has she been? Howler monkeys were letting out hoots and howls over head. He could see a pack of compies heading in the same direction. The scent was becoming clearer. SharpClaw and...death? What happened? Worry started to come over his green eyes. He pushed himself to go faster. His heart was beating faster.
He finally came to a stop and saw a rotting corpse on the forest floor. There were a few compies already covering it, wanting a piece of flesh from the rotting dinosaur. RawHide let out a growl to let him through. Once the compies heard that growl, they dashed in fear. He took a few steps forward, his eyes narrowing as he observed the body. He smelled the corpse and could smell... "No, this can't be!" His eyes widened as he gazed over the body once more and looked at the head of the creature. The eyes were gone, only showing rips where scavengers had made holes. He could distinquish the coloring of the raptor...a light orange with black stripes and black on the tip of the tail with a creamish underside. He shook his head in disbelief. It just couldn't be SharpClaw...
He heard a barking cackle from behind him, and turned around, growling. "Show yourself," he snarled and waited...
The cackles stopped and the creature finally revealed itself. She looked up at RawHide, and smirked, showing her teeth. There was a maddened glint in her eyes.
RawHide's own eyes widened even more. "Exile...?" But then they started to narrow again as she came closer. He got into a defense stance. "Why are you here?"
"To finish off the other traitor," she answered, and with that, she pounced and started with her attack. RawHide growled and stepped away before issuing his own attacking upon the female, scratching her on the neck and using his killing claw to try to get her on the leg. His own eyes held anger as he came to a slow realization of what happened. She killed SharpClaw!
