Venno Rapter ~ A Hellish Series ~ Series 1

The Angler's Regrets (Story 7 - Part 2)

With Venno: 

The Velociraptor was laying in her bed, her leg in a cast and a bandage wrapped around her head. 

Instead of wearing her usual outfit consisting of her ripped red crop top and matching jeans, she was now wearing a pair of black ripped leggings and a black hoodie so that she could feel more comfortable. Her short hair was also tied up in a small ponytail, some of her bangs falling in front of her face, but not completely so none of her eyes were covered. 

Her arms were crossed as she glared down at the cast, her leg having been injured. 

Despite how minor the injury to her leg was, her sister had insisted that she get it in a cast. 

Slendithera, Jake, Hanna, Barry, Fiona and Jerry were in her bedroom with her, the older Spider pacing back and forth with a cigarette in his mouth, trying to think while Slendithera stood by her sister’s bedside. 

Arachné had been too busy at the bar to be able to come over and visit her, which Venno understood since she ran the place on her own. 

Venno shook her head, deciding to focus on the task at hand. 

“I got that I sprained my ankle again, but last time I didn’t need a full cast. How did you convince me to get a cast for a sprained ankle?” asked Venno, referring to the first time she had sprained her ankle, which had been a couple of years ago. 

Slendithera frowned, a look of worry clearly showing on her face, despite having only eye sockets.

“I know, but we can’t make it get worse by having you walk around instead of taking it easy and staying in bed. You’re a Bounty Hunter! We can’t take the chance” said the Porcelain Monster, resting her hands on her hips. 

Jake raised an eyebrow as Hanna stood beside him, the two looking both confused and concerned. Barry just stood with his arms crossed while Fiona looked the most worried. 

“You sprained your ankle once before and you didn’t wear a cast for it?” asked Jake. 

Jerry decided to interrupt, taking the cigarette out of his mouth as he stopped pacing, crossing his two sets of arms. 

“At least she only got a sprained ankle. My leg got injured in an accident years ago, forcing me to retire from bounty hunting. Now I’m the CEO and the founder of the Bounty Hunter Agency. I’m not complaining, but I do miss the thrill of the hunt when hunting down bounties. My leg also starts stinging if I’m walking too fast or if I’m on my feet for too long, but I push through. Believe me, kid, Rapter will be back on her feet hunting bounties in no time. It’ll only take a week or two to fully heal” explained Jerry, shrugging before taking a quick puff from his cigarette. 

Venno nodded, sighing as she glanced down at her cast, eager to get it off and start hunting bounties again.  

Barry huffed, his arms crossed as he frowned. 

“I thought you would be more careful out there, but trying to shoot your gun while surrounded by old barrels? That’s got to be the stupidest thing anyone could do” said Barry, resisting the urge to smirk. 

Venno snarled, but then smirked.

“Oh, you mean like-” began Venno, about to mention the Cooper incident once more, but the Wolf Hound interrupted right away. 

“Don’t you dare mention them, again” growled Barry, glaring at the Velociraptor with his fists clenched as she just sat on her bed and smirked, her arms crossed. 

“Oh, Barry, please calm down. You know you aren’t always careful when bounty hunting, as well. Remember when you came back with a broken arm that one time you brought back that little Butterfly denizen?” said Fiona, smiling as she tried not to giggle at the memory.
