I have no name. My mother had never gave us one. I fend for myself as well as the eggs in my nest. Ever since my mate died. Soft-skins killed him. I smelled him dead and found him being hung up at a village entrance like some type of trophy. This angered me. Now my hatchlings will grow with just one parent to protect them.
I decided that I'll add more soft-skins on my prey list more often, thought I'm not able to go hunt as much. I have to guard my nest. But if I stay much longer I'll be too weak to fight off anything that's a threat to my babies. Add to that, I already hear a few of them squeaking and turning in their eggs in the nest. I need to hunt for them as will as myself. They'll be tired and hungry hatchlings when they break out their shells and come out into the world.
I finally make my decision after hours of debating with myself. I scrape more dirt and dead leaves over my eggs. After that I carefully made my way around the forest. Smelling the air using my forked tongue. I pick up a scent immediately. Deer.
This deer is an old buck, easier to hunt. So I won't have to spend days waiting for my poison to weaken it. By most it will be by sunset that I will be able to make this kill. I wait in the tall grass for the deer to come to me. I am born patient. This is a natural hunting technequic, ambush. The buck finally comes closer....
*Chomp*
I bite down on the old buck's neck. But as quickly as my attack was made I let go and watch the animal run. I followed it silently, patiently waiting for the animal to give in to the bacterial infection.
(Three Hours Later)
The old buck collapses from the infection. I rush in quickly to finish the buck. I begin to tear into the tougher parts of the deer. I save the more nourishing and fatty pieces of meat for my hatchlings.
