Venno Rapter ~ A Hellish Series ~ Series 1

Clash of Raptors (Story 5 - Part 3)

With Venno: 

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

There was also an eighth Velociraptor, their leader. 

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

Unlike Venno, though, they appeared to just be regular looking Velociraptors without the added addition of horns or spikes. None of them had stripe-like tattoos similar to Venno’s, thus solidifying the fact that they were just normal Velociraptors and not some part elemental like she was.

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

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

The other Velociraptors 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. 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 like you in a long time. You can spit venom saliva, correct?” asked the leader, only guessing the abilities Venno’s subspecies could do just by the neon coloration of her hair and the added addition of glowing neon stripes along her tail and beak.

Venno’s eyes widened as Slendithera gasped, smiling excitedly, the Spiders 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 a normal Velociraptor denizen like us, but with the abilities you’ve got, we would be stronger than all the other gangs in Terronto 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, her arms crossed, 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 hand resting on her hip.

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

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

The Velociraptors 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 denizen species similar to yours!” exclaimed the Porcelain Monster, trying to convince her sister to join.
