Steeltalon sighed, forcing herself to calm down. "He was a murderer. He struck at times when he was sure his targets couldn't strike back...he killed my family and gave me this." She shifted slightly, exposing the long scar down her left flank to Redtooth.

Darkness yawned, getting up and walking back downstream. He walked onto the overhanging rock and layed down, listening to what they were talking about, not wanting to ask. Darkness growled to himself and layed his head down, concerned about their discussion.

Redtooth winced at the scar. He hissed, "That's looks a lot worse than mine, I know that much."

She shrugged, sending an explosion of pain through her wounded shoulder. "It could've been a lot worse," she growled softly, shifting again.

Redtooth hissed, "Please, spare the details."

RawClaw yawned and gazed in the direction of the sun. He noticed that the sun was starting to disappear and night was beginning to come over the land. He listened partly to the conversation between Steeltalon and the other raptors and lay down on the earth again.

Steeltalon shrugged again, not really wanting to talk about her past. It was long and painful, especially to speak of. But she supposed it was time everyone knew the truth. She barked to Sandstorm and Shadowleaf, wanting them to hear this. Darkness could listen if he wanted to. Steeltalon sighed deeply. "Maybe you all should know exactly what happened..." she murmured.

Redtooth sighed and growled, "If you say so..."

green eye woke and saw the sun was setting over the island. he mioght still have a chance to visit steeltalon before she went to sleep. when it night, he would leave and let steeltalon sleep. green eye rose to his feet and began to head in the direction of steeltalon's territory to the east. he knew the way well enough so he could find it easily. after the one hour walk. he saw steeltalon, and her friends along with redtooth. green eye growled to steeltalon:"hello steeltalon."

Sandstorm and Shadow leaf stood up moving closer. Obviously this was a very sensitive subject to her. Sandstorm growled softly "Are you sure?"
Then greeneye showed up and he couldnt help but roll his eyes. he did his best not to look at the tyrannosaur.

Darkness was still watching the group, listening to their conversation. The hatchlings were asleep, and Darkness was idley laying on the rock. He was listening, interested in his mate's past.

"I...I'm sure," she murmured. Steeltalon nodded to Greeneye, acknowledging the rex's presence. She was a bit nervous about telling him as well, but she decided to start. "You know by now that Riptide's pack killed my family. What you don't know is that I was only a hatchling at the time, so I couldn't do anything to help. My brother, Tigerstripe, was the first to be killed...his throat was slashed by Riptide himself. When I tried to help, I got this." She gestured to the scar and continued, "I blacked out...and when I woke up..." Steeltalon trembled, fighting back a scream of sorrow. "They were dead...every last one of them. I ran from the sight...not wanting to believe it. When I found their nests..." She shook her head. "I did something I'll never forgive myself for. Every hatchling that was there...I killed. When the pack hunted me down a few weeks after that...I killed seven of them." She turned her head, watching the setting sun. "And they found me again, a year after that. I snapped, killing three more of them and...and young rexes and spinos as well. Finally I attacked an adult spino and thought for sure I was going to die...when it clawed me, I finally returned to my senses and ran until I wound up here...I'd been wandering ever since, until I met Fatalis. And Sandstorm's pack, of course." She nodded at Sandstorm and Shadowleaf, thanking them silently. "I settled down here...and I've been here ever since." Steeltalon sighed when she was done, waiting for the shouts of disbelief to start.

Silver and Raven were silent, their eyes wide with shock. Not even they believed that Steeltalon could be such a...a cold-blooded murderer.

Redtooth was shocked, but he managed to hiss, "Wow, that makes my childhood seems like a luxury."

Darkness smirked slightly, seeing the similiarities between himself and Steeltalon. I attacked Crusher...can't top that... he thought to himself, not that shaken from hearing her past. Darkness was sorrowful at the lose of his mate's family, but pasts like this make a raptor interesting. Darkness's face returned to his normal, emotionless expression, and watched Steeltalon intently, his mind thinking over her words.

green eye saw it was now dark on the island. he growled to steeltalon:"i'm sorry that my visit is so short, but i need to return to my territory. i remeber crusher's warning that he would not be pleased if he heard a noise from me at this time of night." green eye nodded farewell to steeltalon and redtooth and began to walk quickly back to his territory while trying not to make too much noise. it still took him an hour before he was back in his territory. when he arrived, he saw his mate and son were asleep. he lay down beside them and fell asleep, his dark green eye s slowly closing.

Switchblade silently crept halfway out of the ferns again, deeply moved by Steeltalon's story. Without looking at the raptor, she murmured "I know what it feels like to lose your family." Without another word, she crawled back under the ferns and curled up, turning away from everyone.

by **dinoman666** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 7:34 pm

Redtooth growled angrily, "And I got the murderers who were foolish enough to do it!"

by **Doc 42** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 7:36 pm

Sandstorm's jaw dropped slightly in dis beleif. He mumered quitely "Well, as Clawfist used to constantly remind us. Whats in the past is in the past and whats here and now is all that matters. Im sorry for your family"
Shadow leaf remained silent running the story over in her head.

by **Pyronychus** » Thu Jul 19, 2007 7:43 pm

Switchblade, still curled up, concealed in the fern muttered, "Yeah. Those sauros won't be causing any more trouble." She was glad the monsters were dead, but thinking about it brought on a fresh wave of sorrow. Her eyes clouded and she curled up tighter, resting a claw over the tip of her tail. "I miss my brothers and Sabre." she whispered to herself.

As though coming out of a trance, Silver murmured, "I...didn't know. I'm so sorry..." Raven growled quietly, not bothering to add his apology to Silver's.

"So," he hissed softly. "We have both been victims of Riptide." He bowed his head to Steeltalon in deep respect.

Steeltalon remained silent, not knowing what else to say. She nodded to acknowledge everyone's comments, but one didn't say anything at all, and it disturbed her a bit to see him smirking. She sighed and closed her eyes, needing to think a few things over.
