Many of the Oviraptors followed the raptor, calling out for his blood. A few stayed behind to inspect their home, among them the dominant female of the group, who, rather than calling out for her mate, slid into the underground cave. Two younger oviraptors ran forward to meet her, and she raised her head, rage flowing through her. One raptor couldn't have done all this by itself, skilled or not...the pack close by must have been involved. She led the young ones out of the cave and left them to the care of the two other remaining adults. She began to look for her mate's body, letting out a sound resembling a moan when she found him. They killed my mate, our eggs are destroyed, and more will surely die... She closed her eyes, choking back the rage and grief. One day...the time for revenge will come, and we will do to them what they have done to us. But for now, they must think we are all dead or have left. She turned to what was left of her pack. "Come," she hissed. "We must leave this place, or we will die too." She turned and slipped into the undergrowth, heading away from the raptors' territory. The small, once-proud pack, followed her, trying to sort out their own shock and sorrow.
