the man then whipped around to find it standing there. The Velociraptor. The very one that had been slowly following behind Mark without him even knowing. The creature didn’t immediately attack, but stood in complete and utter stillness, with nothing but the damp ambience of the cave creeping in under waves of tension crashing over Mark’s body. His body told him, shouted in his brain, to run. But Mark couldn’t move. He knew the Raptor would effortlessly catch up to him if he were to do so. He knew the creature would make his move, yet it just stood. Watching him. Suddenly the raptor tilts its head, slightly startling Mark. Mark couldn’t speak, couldn’t bring himself to do anything but stare at high alert at the primal yet masterful murderer standing before him. The creature coos in a low tone, walking slowly around its prey. Its large eyes were given an unnerving glow of reds and oranges to them by marks crudely made torch, and trained themselves on mark and mark alone as it circled, tapping the titular Sickle Claw on its foot. Mark was terrified yet confused by this behavior, walking away as his heart pounded from the tension between this dance of death. Mark couldn’t make out much more of the hunter cloaked in shadows it’s illuminated head, covered in feathers that had been stained with the blood of a fresh kill near its narrowed snout. “It’s…..eaten already….” Mark thought to himself. The beast wasn’t even there to eat him it seemed. The velociraptor was just there…..to entertain itself.
