LOUDER THAN WORDS | FERAL UTAHRAPTOR

[Sorrel]

POWER OVER MIND

BLUE — FEMALE — THE TYPHOON — NONE — EXTREME PHYSICALLY EASY MENTALLY

Having been Beta the majority of her life within her pack meant that she could be stubborn when it came from taking orders from others. She liked to do her own thing and there was very little one could to do change her mind in the end. The Utahraptor was almost like that of a child, which was why Owen had his work cut out for him in the very beginning. Luckily for him, he had raised them when they were just hatchlings and they were able to imprint on them. This was able to be noted due to their bird DNA that was put inside of their genes. Blue didn't get a lot of bird DNA, and instead, she got an increase in black-throated monitor lizard DNA, which had given her the signature blue stripe that ran across her body. They were pack animals, and that meant that more of them were almost made instantly. Being the oldest meant that she was able to grow a lot quicker than the rest of her siblings and get a bit of a head start. This allowed her to assert her dominance on her smaller sisters and fights would eventually break out between them. There would be squabbles here and there for dominance, but once a line was drawn it was rarely crossed again.

An instance with Echo is where she had challenged Blue for her position in the pack and Blue was quick to punish her for it, leaving a long scar along the side of her face because of it. Echo usually didn't speak out of turn from that and Blue was glad for that because it didn't mean that she had to waste her energy on useless fights that already had everything dictated on it. Blue was the Beta, and when Owen wasn't around she was in charge and she made sure no one tried to get overconfident. She ruled with an iron fist but it was because of that, that her pack was able to survive as long as it did without Owen originally helping them out. The Utahraptor was strong-willed and so were the rest of her sisters. If they had each other, there was nothing for them to fear or perceive as a threat as they could take on much larger creatures together. And if they couldn't, they would devise a plan on how to do it. Blue made sure that she remained on the other side of the deer carcass that was still not completely eaten in front of her. Blue's shifting movements slowly start slowing in intervals and were less rapid. Which was certainly progress but it was far from being anything good.

She would still look out of the corner of her eye to make sure that there weren't any of the other beasts that would try to attack her. Blue blinked her eyes once when she was given praise, and hearing that gave her a bitter memory of the creatures that tortured her saying that when she did something remotely right. This memory caused her lips to curl slightly until she heard the beast in front of her speak to the other raptor that was near him. She broke eye contact to look at the smaller raptor, before turning to look back at Owen, her sickle claws tapping the ground as she clenched her fingers. She moved into a standing position into the slightly lowered one that she had been in. Blue did lower her head to scratch at her left arm with the shackle to scratch at the irritated area. Her attention turned back to Owen when he turned around and commanded her and Delta to follow. Blue's eyes looked toward Delta for a moment wondering if she would follow what he said, and she watched him go into the trees.

She wasn't sure if she wanted to follow that command or not. The Utahraptor looked at the other creatures that were still there, and especially the large dragon that had always caused trouble for her. She would much prefer to be away from him that was for sure. A loud exhale scaped her jaws as she let out a frustrated growl trying to decide what she wanted to do. She looks down at the deer in front of her again, and there was no way she was going to leave that. Blue lowered her head, steadying the carcass with her left foot, and used her sickle claws and the claws on her fingers to slice away the flesh of the deer's leg, before twisting her head to the side as she heard the joint pop out of place on the deer's hip. From there, she was able to rip the leg off of the dead animal and start moving slowly in the direction that Delta and Owen went. Blue was extremely cautious, making slow progress as she looked over shoulder and looked at the animals that would be left behind. Blood coated her claws and teeth as she carried the severed deer leg, before finally disappearing in the trees. Even now, she was going to be avoiding the beast that called him Alpha until she came to terms with the idea that it was indeed Alpha.
