Howler watched from the undergrowth, staring at a small cluster of Compies in the brush nearby. They were preoccupied, hopping and chirping, trying to snap flying insects out of the air with their slim jaws. Howler took a cautious step forward, slowly drawing into attack range. One more step...
The raptor's foot stepped on a twig, which snapped loudly, alerting the Compies. The little green dinosaurs perked up, staring in the direction of the sound, bodies tense. Knowing it was now or never, Howler leaped from his cover, towards the Compies, who scattered in every direction. Unfortunately for Howler, his had misjudged his jump and forgotten to take the ground around him into account. As he leaped up, his large toe claw bounced off a tree root, throwing himself off in mid-air. With an alarmed screech, he tumbled to the ground amidst the Compies, landing hard on his right flank. Dazed, he watched, morose, as the tiny scavengers fled into the jungle. After a moment, however, he felt something strange underneath his flank. Getting up, he saw that he had, in fact, killed one of the Compies: the raptor had landed on the unfortunate animal, his entire weight snapping its neck, as well as breaking several other bones in its body. With a triumphant snort, Howler picked up the Compy in his jaws and trotted back to Death Valley. Wait until Stoneclaw heard about this...
Bladetooth finally finished his meal, licking his blood-stained jaws and stomping off towards the river to get a drink and wash his meal down...
