The soft growl passed through Echo's scaled snout. Her yellow slit eyes piercing deeply into Tyler's big blue's. "That's my girl." Tyler cooed running her hand down the base of Echo's neck. Nobody was ever allowed in the cage during this time. No feeders, no managers, not even Tyler's older brother Owen. It was far too dangerous for anyone else to be near. The only one comfortable enough to get into a cage with a raptor was Tyler herself, and only if it was just with Echo.

The two had an inseparable bond. Sometimes Owen would tease her for being part raptor, but in all honesty there was no complaining from Tyler's end. She absolutely envied these creatures. The way they were so loyal to one another, how they communicated with looks and sounds. They were simply amazing creatures that intrigued the 16 year old beyond belief.

"Not long now and we'll be doing our own shows girl." Echo groaned nuzzling her snout into Tyler's long blond hair. It was something that the raptor always found amusing. When it was just a little lizard, barely hopping around on it's own, Echo would hang from the blond locks. A nervous vibe was sent from the raptor and Tyler was quick to pick up on it. "Me too girl, me too."

Suddenly Owen called out from the cat walk above. "Alright guys! line up!"

Both Echo and Tyler looked up in her older brother's direction. He was clicking his signaler communicating with the raptors telling them to gather. "Go ahead." Tyler patted the tail end of Echo and she took off joining the other raptor's side.

Closing the door behind Echo, Tyler moved out of the enclosure and moved to her brothers side. He was beginning to pull out the mice to feed to their pets. "You know, sometimes I'm jealous of Echo." He tossed Delta the first mouse. "I think you talk to her more than you talk to me."

Tyler chuckled pulling out the mouse for Echo. "Well she doesn't argue."

"Just marry the damn lizard. Blue! This one's for you!" He called tossing the mouse to his favorite, the lead raptor, Blue.

Rolling her eyes Tyler shook her head. "You'd prefer that from an actual boy wouldn't you?"

"Well yeah." He continued as Tyler made a clicking noise from her mouth signalling to Echo that it was time to feast. "Hate to see any bite marks other than from Echo."

"You're sick."

"I'm protective, there's a difference. And we're moving!" He hollered out to the raptors. All four moved in synchronization as Owen made his way around her. Echo kept her eyes on Tyler only to receive an approving nod to keep with it.

Owen went on with his own tactics directing the raptors on where to go and how to act. "Don't give me that shit Echo, you look at me right now!" Her brother's anger rose and Echo simply kept looking back to Tyler. It just made the teenager chuckle.

Suddenly, Tyler's phone went off. She was quick to pick it up hoping it would distract the creatures. Immediately seeing the collar I.D, her heart almost sank. Claire. Claire was Owen's Ex-girlfriend, along with the parks executive manager. When Owen picked them, he really picked them.

"Hello?" Tyler asked somewhat confused.

"Tyler! Thank god, I need your help."

"With what?" She turned facing away from the raptor cage making her way down the stairs and onto the lower level. With each passing second she weaved between the workers.

"My nephews are coming today and I need someone to show them around the park."

"Okay... why can't you just get Zara to do it?"

"She is. She's picking her up right now but my youngest nephew loves dinosaurs. And I figured since you're close to their age you could help them get a better experience. Maybe even show them the raptors eventually?"
