Apex predator

Chapter four

Aidan stomped back home angrily, all he had found was a mutilated raptor corpse, he had tracked mysterious, four toed footprints away from his house towards a cave, and all he had found was the corpse, a nest, and a few dodo bones, when he got home, he cleared away the dead dodos, and then went out hunting.

A raptor like, four toed creature awoke in its cave, red scales shimmering, it wondered out, searching the area with its thermal vision, suddenly, it saw something, it was a survivor, dragging a dead moschops through the forest, the creature snarled happily, and ran towards the survivor.

Aidan dragged the moschops through the redwoods, when suddenly, a red, raptor like creature leaped at him. He fell forwards, the creature having only just missed him. He fired an arrow from the crossbow, and got a direct hit. The creature stumbled backwards, an arrow lodged in its neck. Aidan loaded another arrow, and hit its side, the creature fell to the floor, breathing raggedly, blood dripping out of its mouth. He felt his quiver for another arrow to finish it off, but couldn’t find one

“Great” Aidan ,muttered. He drew out his sword from its sheaf, and lifted it up, ready to kill the creature
