The Raptor Ranch Part 15
Finally got time to upload a new chapter. The festival finally begins and I admit I had fun writing both this chapter and chapter 16. Honestly there isn't much else to say other than I hope you guys enjoy!
3 Weeks Later
It has been three weeks since my entire life as gone from relatively unusual to absolute madness, and I honestly don't even look back on it in despair. I've pretty much embraced this with open arms and I don't care who disagrees or looks at me with any amount of disgust or discomfort, they can answer to Alpha Vex and the rest of the pack if they wish to say something. That being said I don't mind people asking questions or simply talking to me, I'm not so much of a recluse now that the only people that I hangout with is my pack.
After our night time adventure I had effectively gotten a new out look on the whole raptor thing, just seeing them work together to take down that Elk made me want to understand more. While they're domestic animals to a degree, the power of evolution and ancient genetics clearly still show through with them being completely able to hunt on their own if they managed to escape, which is what makes them so dangerous if unregulated breeding does happen. They could easily reproduce and then become a danger to people everywhere. Anyways the Elk provided us all a large meal that night and there wasn't much left to even save. I ended up dragging the remains out of the clearing to keep it somewhat clean as I felt that we'd be coming back to this place more and I didn't want flies or other animals trying to constantly visit because of the leftovers. But we all took something from it home, some of it's bones mainly as they make for great chews for them. I realized that I also need to chew on something because my teeth began to hurt some, it seems like they're growing in more so I ended up taking a few rib bones back home to chew on, while Vex and the others grabbed the huge leg bones for themselves. It was a learning experience for me that I wish to do again.
With the last 3 weeks we've honestly spent alot of time outside, nearly as much as we would spend inside sleeping. The weather has held nice and sunny the entire time which was lovely, nice summer weather, good for everyone really. Most of the routine was that we'd all wake up and have breakfast, then outside for several hours only to hear back inside for water and lunch, and then it was back outside till it got dark. Our routine would change however depending on where we went. If we ventured into the woods then I expected to either stay there all night or not return till very late. Speaking of woods we've pretty much claimed that clearing Red had found as our own and by claim I mean we pretty much used it as another place to fuck in. It was a secluded spot far enough away from the Ranch that we could truly run wild for a bit and it seemed to bring out these untapped emotions that the whole pack seemed to have locked up. While I felt it to a small degree, I still felt mostly like a stranger standing or sitting there watching the droms rush around and fight with each other in a playful manner, though fighting wasn't the only thing we did that's for sure. Those untapped emotions led to extreme lust that brought out the animal in everyone. I have all new deep scars thanks to them all over this time, legs and arms too. I think I have one on my ass from Adler biting me there too. I did...manage to catch a rabbit on my own while in the woods, broke it's neck once I snagged it, I tried giving it to Vex and the others so they could eat it but they all encouraged me to eat my first kill, and that sparked a rough rutting after my meal, the animalistic nature taking control there.
But one thing I have noticed is how more..... Alpha like Vex had become. It seems making that kill then immediately rutting me like the bitch I am finally unlocked the final form of Vex's path to being a true Alpha Raptor. While his attitude didn't change too much , he was still soft and loving when he wanted to be, but he kept me in his sight constantly. I was always leashed to him now, he barely let me off to do anything, like showering, and he always kept me close. He'd check on me also, like sniffing at me or licking me somewhere to make sure I wasn't going anywhere. He also had gotten into the habit of forcing me to sleep under him as well, usually with my face buried in his crotch for the night, not that I was complaining either, it was where I belonged anyways. I feel that this was more of him making sure that I knew my place as the Omega and I was fine with that. Sex had also gotten rougher with me too but I'm finding out more and more that my body could take the punishment without issue and bounce back like a spring afterwards. This Alpha attitude had however become something he likes to show around to people at the Ranch, as if we went into the Ranch he'd make sure I was behaving and such, and I do remember the looks people gave me the first time they saw the giant raptor leading his human pet around the place.
The adjustment for everyone seemed to be hit or miss for some and I don't blame them, it's not something you usually see. But I also wasn't taking any shit anymore either if they decided to say something I didn't like. Tim had gotten a good look at me too and I swear I thought a vein in his forehead was going to fucking burst and kill him from an aneurysm which would be on way to trigger one, honestly I wasn't sure if it was because he was deep down turned one by me or the situation or that he didn't really believe me till he saw me with his own eyes. But it seemed that people gave me enough sympathy after word had gotten around about my "accident" and the sudden changes to me both physically and mentally. I mean I was still human in most of my mind but the raptor parts of my brain had sharp claws that liked to show themselves often. Honestly I think the biggest adjustment for everyone was me walking around naked and seeing my junk sway in the breeze open and leaving nothing to the imagination. I've seen people streak before but this was just casual nudity now, I'm basically a fucking nudist at this point and I was ok with that. Though I did still order some clothes, mainly for the festival coming up so I wasn't naked around all the executives and such. They fit well enough I guess, but being so used to being naked made them feel strange on me.
Speaking of nudity I had managed to record a few more videos for Featherlay and release that huge 5 hour long orgy with everyone and the fucking response was wild as hell. People were just screaming for more, the sounds of millions of horny souls crying out in unison for more of my ass being dominated by huge raptors and I was definitely willing to make more. I set up more of my profile on there and got a donation thing set so that if people really wanted to support me doing this they could and some already have, now it hasn't been huge loads of cash but a few hundred dollars worth of donations that I immediately spilt and sent half to Tim saying that this was the first money to roll in, I was going to keep my end of the bargain after all, even with the promise of this huge settlement that I was going to eventually get, I still wanted to feel somewhat independent. Some of GreenTek's lawyers did get in contact with me and we talked things out, I can't really say anything about it because of my own NDA but at least they were going to take care of everything I'd need in order to stop the idea of me trying to sue them or take them to court somehow, I wasn't going to but sure pretend so I can milk this as much as I could.
With the weekend coming up with the festival I had volunteered as much as I could to help set things up, with the pack's help too. Most of it was setting up and cleaning the Visitor's Center and the massive show room for the banquet and the few booths that were going up. While some of it was going to be outside like in the fields for letting like the kids interact with the raptors and such, some of the stuff was going to be inside like the massive banquet that was happening. I'm not sure what food was going to be served but all I know that I was honestly looking forward to it just for the free food alone. But because of how my pack is going to be, they'll have to be there too, and I hope Tim can explain that off to all of his family and other rich people that are going to be in attendance. Damn it's gonna feel really weird being there with them as I'm also going to the whole process of getting this settlement from their company, I really hope no one tries to speak with me about it, I could at least flash the NDA and say that I legally can't speak about it. I also hope they don't look at me like some science experiment either, that would be horrible. I had taken some advice from Tim and bought Vex and the other their own collars too, that way anyone could immediately identify them easily. Of course Vex was immediately offended by the notion till I very simply explained that they only have to wear them for one day and they only have their names on it, that's all. I specifically pointed out the fact that these collars for them didn't have any loops for leashes or leads at all, which I explained as them being completely independent, while I was the only one with a loop for a leash.
I'm just hoping this entire situation goes well and nothing happens that requires me to do anything. The fact that I had to avoid fucking my pack for at least two days beforehand caused me some amount of discomfort as I've found out that I need release at least twice a day to feel any sort of relief. A few more in depth doctor's visits with both Jessica and Rachel had revealed that most of my insides had changed too, like organs and such, I don't recall all the science medical stuff with it all but it seems that my prostate and overall male genitals had enlarged and that meant both bigger orgasms but also discomfort if I abstained from fucking at all, and it was torture. I didn't think I was going to become addicted to raptor ass but by damn the longer I went without fucking one the more I craved it. And being around other droms besides my own also seemed to spark that same craving too. I think most if not all of the raptors here, big and small, know I'm a raptor now and more importantly a raptor slut too. I've seen the looks some have given me, damn teases.
At least I wasn't needed today at all. The festival got underway today on Friday so it was all mostly kids, parents, and the like visiting and enjoying themselves. I was given the opportunity to come down and everything but I opted out saying I wanted as much time to prepare myself and everyone else for tomorrow. All the important rich people were coming tomorrow for the banquet mainly and to visit some of the facilities like the labs and such. Tim was a nervous wreak as well, him not liking that his family will be here and trying to tell him how to run things. He does everything just fine so why try fix what isn't broke right? Right now it was just after 7pm, I had slept much of the day because yesterday I was helping so much I had to be up bright and early to give everyone a hand, I mean I didn't mind at all, one good thing to come out of this was the extra strength I was getting, I could actually lift Vex up, who was 600 pounds of muscular raptor and I could carry him around which definitely opened new opportunities for sure. But being able to use that strength to carry multiple tables and stuff came in handy while the pack pitched in when they could, main Vex and Adler, Rose was lazy as hell and Red just got in the way. Now however I had to be up early again to meet and greet everyone, ugh.
"Alright, hate to say it guys but we need to get some sleep because we need to be up early tomorrow." I said gathering up all of our bowls and other dishes, I still ate with a fork whenever I used my drom bowl, I'm fucking civilized after all! But everyone made some kind of groan and small chitters of complaint as I understood that they didn't want to get up either. Vex snorted at me while he followed me around, well more like leading me around on my leash while I still did normal caretaker stuff. Honestly might talk with him about getting a longer leash so he doesn't have to stay so close.
"I know Vex, I know. I'm not looking forward to rubbing arms with all of those people either. But... they own this place, they're the ones who pay for everything I have pretty much. My boss signs the checks but they come out of his family's company. At least it's just for one day really. Sunday will mostly just be us taking everything down really." I let out a sigh."But...I need to be there to show support. Tim's a great friend to us and I feel like he's family a bit to at least me, right?" That got Vex thinking. This entire thing had gotten Tim really invested in all of us, and while he was loved droms like I do, he was more the man manning the helm, organizing everything and making sure that it all ran on time.
Soon everyone was in bed, the twins had started sleeping in the bed too leaving their room pretty much vacant. But it felt nice to be covered in droms in a big sleeping pile like a bunch cats. For once I wasn't being laid on by Vex, instead being in the middle between him and Adler like usual with Rose pushing too much into my back with her clawed hands while Red just laid himself on top of Rose, Adler and myself. But I found myself sleeping much better like this, and soon I dozed off.
The alarm going off made all of us mad, we were sleeping so well then the abrupt wake up from the blasting dubstep that made up my alarm just irritated us all. I wish time would just freeze and allow us to go back to sleep for another several hours. But with it constantly blasting I had to turn it off before Vex finally had enough and smashed the alarm clock, which I'm surprised he hasn't yet, probably for my sake. I had to shove Rose off of me as she was sprawled out and she let out a whine. Adler whined too and covered his head with a pillow as I had to clamber over him and shut the stupid alarm off. Finally the noise stopped and everyone was groaning and slowly moving. I was out of bed first and stretched, feeling everything pop and snap a bit. I then grabbed my phone and sent Tim a text letting him know I had just gotten up, and I was going to shower and eat then we'll all down soon. He didn't reply but did read it so he's probably already busy as hell. The raptors were taking their sweet time crawling out of bed so I just slipped into the bathroom, after unhooking myself of course, and hopped into the shower for a quick scrub and rinse. I'm glad the unscented drom shampoo and body scrub worked well on me, and it didn't bother Vex at all, as I had....er....fucked him in this big stand up shower, him pinning me against the reinforced glass and pounding away. But him being in the shower meant that I cleaned him normally but he didn't complain.
After the shower I got out and dried myself off. I was still going to smell, as I had the natural oder of a drom now, but I hope that I could limit it as much as possible with all the shampoo and soaps. I took one last look at myself in the mirror, it had became a habit of mine, but I looked no different than I did three weeks ago. Still looked mostly human, apart from the sharp claw like nails of mine, drom eyes though they still stayed green, purple feathery mixed hair, and the taller slim yet toned build, I was fine. Satisfied I put my collar back on and headed back into the bedroom to find it empty except for Vex of course. He simply nudged me while leading me into the kitchen to make breakfast for everyone. I went with my go to classic of bacon, eggs, and toast plus drom food and everyone seemed happy with it. I should probably make french toast one of these days to see what they'd think, probably too sweet for them. Maybe pancakes or waffles then? Hmm ideas for later. We all ate in mostly silence as I flipped through the TV channels but nothing was on that caught my attention other than like the news or the weather. But at least it was inside even if the weather turned bad, so that's good at least.
After breakfast was ate I had to usher everyone into the bedroom so I could get dressed and help them with their own collars. I picked a simple nice black vest with a white shirt underneath it and dress pants plus shoes. Everything had to be at least one or two sizes bigger due to my sudden growth, and that also meant that my underwear was also needing to be larger too. I thought about going commando but decided against it. After I gave myself a once over and tried straightening out my hair and such I felt that I looked presentable enough. But I heard Vex whine behind me and step up looking at me with disappointment. I knew he didn't like me wearing clothes and it felt off wearing them myself, but I had to do this in order to at least look a bit civilized. But the way he looked at me also told me more of a story of me hiding his favorite toy so he couldn't play with it for a while, and that made sense too, I was his favorite toy in the whole world. Looking at Vex more I realized he had put his own collar on wrong.
"Here you put your collar on wrong. May I fix it?" He nodded his head so I reached around and unclasped it and fixed the issue before putting it on right. I looked him in the eyes once I was done."Look, I know you hate this, but please if anything just tolerate it for me alright? I promise once this is all over with I'm yours to do whatever you want with ok? Trust me, this is just as difficult for me to do as well." I pulled his head into mine and then I kissed him on the lips, he repeated the moment and I was lip locked with my Alpha for a few minutes of just sensual kissing. But I had to pull away before we just said fuck it and went to town on each other.
"Thanks." He nodded his head and licked my cheek. But I went around and saw that everyone had put their collars on wrong, causing me to groan. I started with Adler since he was the closest."Here let me fix this. And.... please be brave for me alright? You have everyone else here to support you, but I also understand if you do end up hiding." He rumbled some before leaning in for a kiss of his own. I rolled my eyes and lip locked my Beta as we had our own sensual kiss as well. Pulling back I went over to Red who gave me a bit of a sky look.
"Here let me fix your collar, and yes we can kiss afterwards. Just let me fix this first." Not even two seconds after I had gotten his collar adjusted he grabbed my head with his hands and pulled me in for a rough kiss with him, he's never been much of a kisser and it showed, I'll have to help him get better. He let me go and I had to wipe the slobber of my face as he was sloppy. Rose was last.
"Yes you get a kiss too girl. Just let me fix this for you first." Once I was done she gave me a less sloppy kiss, but at least she was short and sweet. I rubbed her head before standing up and sighing. I looked back at Vex."This is the worst part but....may I take command now? You're still my Alpha you know." He nodded and growled a bit. Obviously for today I had to be free to roam around as I wanted unlike usually.
Once he gave me permission I had everyone follow me out of the door. It was nice and sunny, warm already for mid summer now. No rain meant the ground was nice and dry too so no mud to step through. I had everyone follow me to the ATV and hopped on, giving everyone enough time to get themselves ready to run after me. I revved the engine a bit before taking off, it honestly felt nice to drive the thing for once, usually I was on foot but the wind in my face felt wonderful. I heard the raptors chase after me and I hope they actually like running after me like that, I know I would definitely enjoy chasing them if they could drive the ATV. Even as I got close to the cluster of buildings I could hear everyone that was mingling around, the sounds of music playing faintly caught my ears and of course the scents of multiple people hit my nose. I found a lucky parking spot not to far from the Administration Building which connects right to the Visitor Center, but I also know that there's tons of people outside too as it's still too early for the banquet. I hopped off my vehicle as the droms caught up to me and I stood there hoping to get one last quick word in with them all.
"Alright, look I know we all would rather not be here today but I really have to say thank you to you all for coming with me. Vex I know I took charge but I'll deal with interacting with all of humans here, you're still in charge of keeping everyone else out of trouble." He puffed out his chest a bit, fucking showboater.
"Adler there's alot of people here so I completely understand if you just hide for most of this, I don't blame you. But just.... honestly just keep being you." He bobbed his head a bit and stamped a foot.
"I expect you two to be on your best behavior today! No fucking around, if you do you are in so much fucking trouble. Especially you Red, you fuck around and I find out, and I will find out, I'll be a fucking shit storm in your worst fucking nightmares boy." I hissed at him and he ducked his head down a bit. Rose did too and they got the message. Satisfied I waved them to follow around to the front where several tents were set up for outdoor stuff, there were tables and chairs all around and tons of fancy looking people milling about, but I could feel eyes on me as I walked through with my raptor groupies close behind with Vex and Adler taking the front and the twins in the back. I did wave at a few people as I passed by but most seemed to give us a wide berth. I was mainly looking for Tim, and normally I'd have trouble finding someone out of a huge crowd like this but I guess another benefit of being part raptor now was being able to use my nose to pick people out, and since I know Tim very well it was easy to follow his scent, which faintly smelled of whiskey on top of his usual oder, and I found him standing there talking with two people I didn't know but I got an immediate sense of familial connections with them as I approached.
Tim was dressed in a very nicely trimmed three piece tuxedo, black with a white undershirt. Honestly it was a little shocking to see him dressed up like that and I knew he probably hated it too, he never liked dressing up. The two people talking with him were dressed in well.....what I could only describe as fancy with a capital F and a full outfit that probably costs more than all the paychecks I've ever made put together. The taller man was dressed in a similar black tuxedo with a crimson red tie and had a very expensive looking smartwatch on his wrist as well as a very noticeable wedding ring too. He had brown eyes and mostly black hair with grey in them. The woman next to the man was a bit shorter but was dressed in a sort of greyish dress of sorts complete with two white pearl necklaces, a similar bracelet, big wedding ring, and a smartwatch on her wrist too. She was a bit skinny and had dirty blonde hair with some grey in them too but both of their hair was equally well done. Their eyes caught mine and the woman gasped a bit and that's when Tim turned around to see me. He gave a very happy smile but also gave me "save me" eyes too."Hey Alex! I'm so glad to see you made it! And you brought your guests too."
"Hey Tim, it's good to see you dressed up for a change." I gave him a teasing glance."But thank you for inviting me here. I do hope that my raptor friends aren't going to be an issue. And who are the two with you?" I kinda had a good guess that these were Tim's parents, current CEOs of GreenTek Genetics, but I didn't want to guess and guess wrong.
"Oh Alex these are uh...my parents. Evelyn and Thomas Young. Mom, Dad, this is Alex Karver. He's the one I was telling you all about."
"It's a pleasure to meet you both." I said with as much of a friendly none toothy smile as I could while sticking my hand out for either of them to shake. His father reached first and I shook his hand.
"It's nice to finally meet you Alex, or do you prefer 'Mr Karver'? By the way that's a very firm handshake you've got there." Oops I hope I didn't squeeze too hard.
"Alex is fine with me Mr. Young. And sorry if I shook too hard." He simply chuckled and his wife reached out and shook my hand, though this time I made sure my hand was looser.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Alex. Young Timothy here was talking about you. And now seeing you....he definitely wasn't lying." She eyed me up and down, yeah even with clothes on it wasn't hard to tell that there was something wrong with me.
"We're terribly sorry for what happened to you kid." Thomas said looking at me."I'm more amazed that I've heard that you've adjusted so well after the accident." I needed to stop this before it gets too much farther.
"There's no need for apologies. Look what happened....well happened. There's no way to actually change the past nor well reverse the changes done to me. But I'm fine, you're son Tim has been such a great help and I'm happy to have known him." Looking at Tim he blushed with mild embarrassment and honestly it was nice to be the one dishing it out this time.
"Well we're still responsible for what happened since we own the lab that it occurred in." Evelyn said."We promise to take care of anything that you need, it's the least we could do." I'm pretty sure they're just saying that to save face for meeting me in person, whatever don't really care.
"Well that's very kind of you to do Ms, Young." I replied, only to feel Vex's nose brush against my back, he obviously is needy and wanting attention. Thomas's eyes widened at the sight of the big raptor right behind me bugging me. "My that is a massive beast. Alex would you care to introduce us to your raptor friends then? I'm very curious to meet them." Honestly the way he said it sounded like a kid in a candy store, so maybe they actually have a heart.
"Well the big guy here nosing my back is Vex. He's supposed to be a Blue Goliath Utahraptor but he has that "Alpha Gene" thing that sorta what infected me as well." At least I didn't have to lie about that bit, it was Vex's blood/DNA that gave me this."He's rather friendly with people, he loves me however. He sorta brought me into his pack after the accident but he's been very good with me." I gave him a pat on the neck as he nosed his way forward to allow the two to pet him. It was like watching two kids get to pet a zoo animal at an exhibit. Vex rumbled with pleasure as he was having his pride stroked.
"He's massive." Evelyn said petting his neck some.
"And he's not the only massive one either. The big green one over there a bit looking well... sacred is Adler, Vex's second in command. Same thing with him, though he doesn't like people too much. I'm working on that with him." I gestured to him who was chilling over by an empty table but I saw his eyes darting around and he was rather tense. Unfortunately it seems that the twins realized that there was attention to be had over where I'm at so they rushed over chirping away, I sighed. But it seemed that the Youngs weren't too fazed or annoyed by this and both gave them some pats and rubs.
"The red and white one with the crest is Red, he's a bit of a troublemaker, oh and he steals so be very careful with anything loose or in your pockets because he will try to take it." Red gave me a glare but I just gave him one back. Vex was watching this with an impassive gaze.
"The macaw patterned one is Rose. She's a sweetheart honestly but she's also a glutton for food so if you have anything with you watch it otherwise she will scarf it down." Rose wasn't paying attention to me as she was rubbing up on Ms, Young's legs like a cat, a big 5 foot tall feathery cat who needs a diet. But Evelyn wasn't too bothered as she gave her pats and rubs on her side.
"She's so soft." She laughed."Honestly you have a very good pack here Alex. They look well cared for and happy. I can see why little Timothy hired you. Where are you from exactly?" I saw Tim look like he was wanting to melt away into the ground and he mouthed 'Fucking Mom' before adverting his gaze from me. But I guess the small talk is now beginning.
"I'm from Ohio originally. Though my family moved when I was two to the city of Persistence, Washington. I've lived there most of my life till I graduated from High School."
"Oh we have a summer home up there in Persistence!" Thomas said with a laugh."Small world it seems."
"Timothy said you graduated with a degree in Raptorology?" She continued with a chuckle at her husband. I nodded at her.
"Yep that's right. Part of the very first group to do so seeing it was a new study at the time. I graduated from Denver, Colorado. And soon after that I got my job here. The rest is history." I have to say that Tim's family so far doesn't seem like the regular stuck-up crowd I was expecting. His parents own a massive corporation worth billions yet here I was talking about where I grew up with them like it was a family reunion. Before they could continue there was another person walking up. He was a bit short like Tim and wore a more...I dunno relaxed looking fancy suit while holding a glass of what I could smell was something good and strong. His hair was dirty blonde and looked a bit less grey, not sure how old he was. Tim's parents looked rather older,at least in their sixties but looked really good for their age, I probably have a good guess on why they do. But my train of thought was interrupted by this new guy.
"Ayy I thought I heard raptors over here!" He said very loud and very cheerfully."Tommy! Big Sis, it's great to see you guys again! It's been to long! And little Timmy, looking good. But you....you look different. Like your hair by the way, purple is good color on you for some reason!" Ok this guy was both hilarious and fucking annoying, I'm starting to see the family resemblance already. Thomas Young looked a bit annoyed at being called Tommy, while Evelyn looked embarrassed, by her brother I guess?
"Ah it's good to see you too Elliott." Thomas said with a bit of a sharp tongue, yeah definitely annoyed."I trust you've been well? Staying out of trouble I hope?"
"Eh the usual for me. I'm glad to see the two of you are doing well." Elliott said with a laugh. The name rung a bell with me.
"I'm glad to see you too little brother." Evelyn said with a similar sharp tongue of annoyance. But she looked at me for a moment."And the purple haired one is Alex Karver. One of Timothy's employees here. Alex this my brother Elliott Pierce, owner of Elliott Computing." I stuck my hand out for him to shake.
"Ah I thought I recognized the name. You make all of the genetic sequencing computers correct?" I shook his hand.
"Hah you'd be correct. Finally someone who's done his homework! It's nice to meet you Alex. I trust my sister and brother-in-law haven't been talking your ear off about raptors have they?" Ok so he's the crazy uncle then.
"Nah not too much. I was just introducing them to my raptor pack here." I made a faint gesture to the four as Vex stood to his full height behind me, looking like an imposing guard ready to strike. Elliott looked him up and down with a wide eye.
"Well damn you're a big bastard aren't ya?" Vex let out a low growl at him, he wasn't necessarily happy with this new guy already."And nice collar on him, matches his coat pretty well. And you seem to be wearing one too!" He laughed and pointed with his drink hand at my neck where, yes I was wearing my collar, I'm always wearing it, I don't take it off unless to clean it or myself.
"Got a problem with that?" I asked with a raised brow. I wasn't going to let him make any insults at me or my family.
"Nah not really, just wanted to point it out." He took a drink."Now you must be the kid who went part raptor then right? The feathers on your head don't hide it very much." I'm going to kill this guy by the end of the night I can feel it.
"Yeah that's me." I deadpanned at him, really not wanting to talk with Elliott anymore.
"Well you look good for what happened to you kid. Well I won't keep you guys long, I've got a few other people to find. I'll catch you all later." And with that he wandered off and I just kinda felt my blood boiling ever so slightly. We stood there in silence for a bit and I was kind of wanting to grab something to drink and cool off some, that man made me crave violence at the moment.
"Well if you guys don't mind I'm going to go and cool off some. Plus get the raptors some water to drink." I really didn't want to make an excuse for my reason for leaving and it seemed they agreed.
"We're really sorry for him." Evelyn said with a sigh."Elliott is unfortunately usually like that."
"Yeah my brother-in-law isn't the most behaved individual." Thomas groaned and rubbed his head a bit."I could immediately tell you weren't fond of him, same with your big raptor there."
"Yeah Uncle Elliott is kind of a fucktard, sorry dude. Should have warned you about him." Tim rubbed the back of his head only for his mother to smack the back of his head.
"Timothy Young! Language!" Oh great I honestly should stay now just to watch Tim get his ass chewed out by his mother. I simply wished him good luck and then told the Youngs that it was very nice meeting them before walking off with Vex right behind me. I was hoping to keep them outside as much as possible for now, not sure if I could actually have them inside during the banquet. But I found myself the bar and got some water for all of us just to start out. I might grab a drink later, maybe a screwdriver. But honestly I just sorta mingled on my own. I did see Cody, Rachel, and Jessica walking about and they waved at me while I chilled next to a table near one of the more decorative trees in the front of the Visitor's Center. It was slowly getting close to noon and from what I remember is that the banquet starts at like 1 or 2, not sure which however.
I was kinda bored, wishing to go back home or go back into the woods to live the rest of the day as some feral child some, maybe pick a fight with Red like I have been doing to test my reflexes some. I didn't see Tim anymore so I figured he wandered off or went with his parents. Most people kind of gave me space mostly because of the two massive droms that were near me. While Adler was still a bit freaked out, he was handling this way better than I was expecting so he's getting better which is great. The twins looked bored as there wasn't any other droms to play with around, I think I saw a few Microraptors walking about looking for food, honestly Microraptors were the pigeons or seagulls of the drom family, annoying little shits who screech like death itself is coming then try and swallow your whole hotdog in one motion while another takes your fucking fries and you chase them away while the last one knocks your soda over and ruins your lunch, fucking gremlins. But then I saw Tim walk over.
"Hey I need you to come with me for a second." He said waving me on. I jumped up finally wanting to do something and I knew that the others were going to follow me too.
"What's up?" I asked.
"Uh there's some people who want to meet you." He honestly looked a bit confused and nervous. Wonder who they were. But as we rounded the corner of a small utility building that was attached I caught a very good look at who there were. A man, a woman, and a daughter. The man was dressed casual in a button up plaid shirt and jeans, he had an obvious beer belly but looked slightly built, he also had glasses on his face. The woman was tall a a bit skinny dressed in a simple casual outfit, honestly where'd she get that. The daughter was definitely dressed for a day out on the town, not skimpy but more like she was going to the mall, she looked bored and had glasses on her face. I blinked and stopped walking and Tim noticed this and stopped walking too. No...no... no who the fuck..... invited....
My parents!?
