Acid the Dilo part 19

I slipped among the green foliage of the forest. The ominous beep beep of of the raptor tracker a constant reminder of my dangerous situation. Suddenly I heard a terrifying screech followed by a raptor hurling itself off a large rock at me. I calmly loosed two arrows in quick succession. Then my Dilos led by Acid fall upon the unfortunate raptor, ripping it to shreds. “Good job.” I say smiling “That’s three down just two more to go.” During our hunt we had ventured more and more deeply into the forest. I could sense that we were entering dangerous territory, but we were so close to completing the pursuit. So we pushed on. Then I saw it. Huge, ugly, it’s body was sparsely covered in feathers, it had a long ugly neck. But probably the most terrifying thing about it were it’s three long claws on each hand. A Theri! No sooner had I realized what it was then it suddenly turned around to face me. It was still a good distance off but it began to charge at me. I was filled with sheer terror as it came rushing at me. Finally I was snapped out of my trance and I began too loose arrow after arrow at it. My Dilos rushed in clawing and biting at it. But still It rushed forward until it was right on top of me. It raised one of its terrible clawed hands ready to swipe me. But the claws never made it to me. At the last moment Acid leaped in front of it, taking the hit for me. “Acid!” I screamed as she went sailing through the air. But I had no time to help her, the theri was already bringing up its second hand for another swipe. I dodged it, running behind a tree to take cover. I heard one last terrible roar from the theri, then nothing. I new the other Dilos had taken care of it. I rushed out from behind the tree and ran to the last spot I had seen Acid. But she was no where to be seen! “Acid!” I called tears streaming down my face. “What are you crying about?” I hear someone snap from behind me. I whirl around to find Acid harvesting the theri with the other Dilos. I stood there lost for words. “I thought the theri had gotten you.” I finally say. “Pft that over grown dodo. Nah it would take a lot more than that to take me down.” Acid replied. More tears stream down my face and I fling my arms around Acid. “What would I ever do without you?” I whisper.
