Venno Rapter ~ A Hellish Series ~

Clash of Raptors (Story 5 - Part 3)

With Venno: 

The Velociraptor demoness, her sister, and the two Spider demons rode the elevator down to the first floor to find the rest of the Spider demons who had been in the large dining room glaring at a pack of about seven Velociraptor demons, three males and four females. 

There was also an eighth Velociraptor demoness, their leader. 

She was taller than the others, her hair being a bright neon yellow and pink, her skin being a slightly darker shade of grey than Venno’s.

Unlike Venno, though, they appeared to just be regular looking Velociraptor demons without the added addition of horns and spikes. Some of them had stripe-like tattoos similar to Venno’s but in the respected color matching their hair. 

Upon seeing Venno, the leader of the Veloirpator demon pack perked up, smiling. 

“Hey! You’re the Vleociraptor demoness we saw in New Strip City” said the leader, smiling as she crossed her arms. 

The other Velociraptor demons nodded in agreement, some voicing them. 

Venno raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms. 

“Yeah, I saw you, guys, too. Now then, care to explain why you came all the way here just to find me?” asked Venno, deciding to get straight to the point. 

The leader glanced back at her pack, one of them nodding before she returned her attention back to Venno. 

“Alright, getting straight to the point, then. Listen, we saw how you chased down that bounty back in New Strip City, and we liked how agile and fast you are. We think that you would make a perfect member of the Raptor Pack. Haven’t seen a Velociraptor demon like you in a long time. You can spit venom saliva, correct?” asked the leader, recalling the abilities Venno’s demon species could do. 

Venno’s eyes widened as Slendithera gasped, smiling excitedly, the Spider demons exchanging worried glances.

“Uh...yeah. I can spit toxic venom saliva. I also have a paralyzing glare. And you want me to join your Raptor Pack? Why?” asked Venno, shocked and trying to process what had been said. 

The leader chuckled, shrugging. 

“Like I said. You’ve got what it takes to be a part of the Raptor Pack. You may not be the same Velociraptor demon species as us completely, but with the abilities you’ve got, we would be stronger than all the other gangs in Pentagram city combined!” said the leader proudly, raising her arms for emphasis as she walked back to her pack, each member striking a different pose around her. 

Venno narrowed her eyes at them, unimpressed with their display. 

“Yeah...I don’t know if it really works like that. Sure, I can spit toxic venom saliva, have a paralyzing glare, can run fast and be super agile, but I think my skills are better used for bounty hunting. Besides, there’s always a catch. What is it?” asked Venno, her arms crossed as she turned her head away. 

Slendithera gasped, grabbing her sister’s arm and pulling her off to the side to speak to her in private. 

The Spider demons immediately understood what she wanted and stood in a way that formed a sort of wall between the two sisters and the pack of Velociraptor demons. 

The Velociraptor demons got out of the poses they had gone in, exchanged confused glances as their leader frowned and narrowed her eyes. 

“Come on Venno, they want you to join their pack! Wouldn’t that be great? You would get to hang out with a demon species similar to yours!” exclaimed the Porcelain Monster demons, trying to understand why her sister didn't want to join.
