Okay, two outta three spam chapters done and here. I'm actually forewarning you, my next spam update will probably be pretty late. This is because I'm going out of town and therefore I don't have the time to really write actively and I want to have quite a few chapters written out and ready to go before I spam update if in case something goes wrong and I won't be able to update for certain periods of time. Anyways here's chapter 2 outta 3, I really hope you enjoy please do stick around and listen to the author notes near the end of the chapter. Although who really reads these?

"Keres! Are you okay?" Owen asks pressed up against the metal cage. "Just hold on. We're trying to get the cage open." The raptor's growl startles both Owen and me. "What are they doing?" The older trainer questions. I chew on my bottom lip, not noticing the way Charlie's and Delta's eye follow the movement, their eyes trained on the lip sandwiched between my teeth. Blue takes a step into the forest and his brothers look towards him. Echo moves to follow him but stop looking back at me.

"I think they want me to follow them." Delta chirpers next to me pushing at my back. The strength of the push sends me tumbling to the ground and Blue snarls out. Delta is at my side in an instant, and I wince at the soreness on my hands. He whines loudly, placing his large head onto my knee. I dust my black legging off noting with a scowl at the rips on my knees. Delta whines louder and I sigh. "It's alright. Just a pair of leggings. Not like they can't be replaced." A snarl from above me startles my eyes to Blue. He bends down nudging his snout against my bleeding palms. I crinkle my nose as the bead of metallic scented liquid. "And a bit of blood. I'll be fine." I push the seemingly worrying raptors away from me and out of my personal space which they seem all too happy to invade. Much to my displeasure. 

Delta doesn't make any move to stand as his brother begins to head back into the forest. "You coming, bub?" I ask as I realize he wasn't following. 

"I think he wants you to get on his back. Don't worry, we'll be watching the cameras. If something goes wrong, Owen will get there faster then any of the bastards can strike again." Eric attempts to soothe. Attempts. 

"I don't really want to be struck once." Eric snorts on the loudspeaker before it clicks off. I watch as Delta nickers. I swing a leg over the large reptiles back. An improper squeak rips from my throat as the animal rises quickly. I lunge towards him, wrapping my hands around Delta's long neck. A rumble rattles me and I loosen my grip assuming I'm choking the poor boy out. I shoot a pleading look over my shoulder at Owen only to find him staring worriedly back at me. He places a hand over his heart in a silent promise and I wince turning around as Delta starts to move forward. Echo chitters next to us as the pack picks up a fast pace through the dense forest. Goddamn, it's lucky I've been riding horses since 5 years old. The lofty stride the raptors are fond of reminds me of a trotting pace and my thighs scream for relief as I pick myself up in a sort of awkward posting position to keep myself stable. Without 4 legs the stride seems almost too short of any sort of posting but managing to find a decent position keeps me from bouncing right off Delta's hardback. I'm sure he also appreciates the lack of jostling.

Blue leads the pack through the brush and vines elegantly and I take a moment to admire both the muscle on the in shape predators and the way they operate without say a word to each other. If only humans could work this well together. Maybe we'd actually get something done. It was easy to see the fact the animals had often worked together based on the pace they were keeping which seemed hard to do without some sort of repetition. Not to mention the fact, they seemed to work together like a well-oiled machine. Aside from the quiet nickers and chatter from Echo and Charlie, they were silent. Doing some sort of thinking? Watching for something? I couldn't know. The quadruplet obviously much smarter than Owen and I took into consideration. 

The pace slowed down actively as the brush began to clear up. I turn my eyes high up into the trees, looking for cameras only to become panicked as I see the lack of any sort of red dots. I can only pray my coworkers took more time to hide the cameras to make the animals feel as if they have more privacy although I had never seen this place in the cameras when I had been watching them. This news only bringing waves of dread to my stomach. Where are we going? Better yet, what would happen when we got there?  

We come to a soft stop in front of a cave only keeping my feelings of dread. Delta kneels down and blue light flashing in the corner. Disappointment fills my veins when I realize it's only a LED light. 

Charlie chirps catching my attention and I turn towards the apex predators. Cracking noises fill the air around us and I watch in horror as the bodies of the reptiles shift and move into awkward positions before cracking and shifting into another. I suck in a breathe as human bodies form in front of me, tall and well-muscled. My mind goes blank as the realization; they were all naked forms in my mind. I stop breathing as the man where Echo stood takes a step forward, a hand reached out. 

"Hiya Princess." 

Then darkness. 

Oof another cliff hanger. Should I just leave the spam here? You know what. I think I will. With 1046 words. Not bad.
