Apex predator

Chapter six

The shimmering purple creature rushed through the bushes towards the survivor who was holding a glinting, sharp weapon over another of its kind. The creature leapt into the air and fell down on the survivor, pinning him to the ground, it hissed at it, and got ready to bite its head off. There was a growling noise, and the purple creature turned towards the red one the survivor had trapped who snapped, at it angrily.

Aidan groaned, the two strange creatures stood over him, and they seemed to be having an argument, possibly over who gets to kill and eat him. Suddenly, there was the familiar whooshing sound of an arrow, and the red one screeched in pain as an arrow struck its eye! The other one jumped backwards, and Aidan thrust his sword into the red ones mouth, killing it instantly, the purple one ran away, screeching angrily.

Aidan turned to his saviour, a tall, muscular man wearing ghillie clothing, the man approached Aidan and helped him up.

“What were those things?” Aidan asked.

“Ferociraptors, more and more have been appearing lately, there ferocious, powerful, faster than a gallimimus and show no mercy whatsoever” The man replied.

“ so I’m lucky, aren’t I?”

“ yes, not many people survive an encounter with them”

Aidan was having trouble believing what just happened, and from what the man said, it seemed like Aidan shouldn’t even be alive. Then, Aidan remembered his manners.

“Anyway, thanks for rescuing me”

“No problem, what’s your name?”

“Aidan, yours?”

“John, and that’s enough talking, we should get back to my house, before they come back”

“Ok” Aidan replied, and then they walked in the opposite direction of Aidans house, towards Johns’ house.
