Desi had been living near the mouth of the river for about a week. Here she had easy access to edible fish and freshwater. But oh, how she desired the company of another dinosaur. She hadn't seen one for a long time since she'd come to the river. Any other sociable creature would do. She sighed. With a rustle of foliage and feathers, she stood and surveyed this area of land for the last time. The ocean wind blew from the coast and kissed her goodbye. Pivoting on a claw, Desi ran inland. She followed the river and rested when she couldn't run any longer. She would then start up and continue to head to the savanna. Days later she reached an area of tall grass. Assuming this would be a good place to look for a companion, she walked into the waving sea of yellow. "Hello?" she called, feeling a bit foolish but being unable to contain herself. She stood in the partial shade of the grass and awaited a reply. Every raptor instict was screaming to look for friends rather than stand here, but she dug her claws into the earth and kept her senses keen.

In the tall, yellow grass, a young deer lay on the ground. She had no real reason for being here. It just seemed like a nice place to stay while she decided what to do. But what would she do? Her family was dead, she had no where to go, and no friends to talk to for advice. Her fur coat, made of yellows, reds, and browns, with white spots, of course, helped her blend in with the savanna grass. She kept that in mind, but didn't consider that this was a good place for predators to stalk their prey. Nor did she realize that this was a herd territory and that the leaders may not take kindly to her being here. For now, she lay and tried to think of somewhere she might be able to go.
The young deer lowered her head to the ground, wishing she could just disappear. Even here, where she blended in well, she felt vulnerable. She was such a small thing. And even her parents were defenseless from the alligator that had took their lives. But Ellen tried not to think about that. Thinking about her own defenselessness could only make things worse. But before she could even silence her worrisome thoughts, she heard a voice.
Ellen's instincts caused her to freeze, hoping that whatever it was would not notice her. The voice sounded friendly enough, but she couldn't take a chance and answer. What if this creature was not friendly at all? What if it was hungry, just like that alligator? Try as she might to breath quietly and slowly, Ellen could feel her breathing increase as panic flooded her mind. She stayed low to the ground, not daring to even move her eyes to look around. She only felt worse when she saw movement up ahead of her and her eyes rested on a huge beast. Perhaps it wouldn't have looked so huge to another creature, but Ellen really was quite small.
She watched, terrified, as the black and red creature dug at the ground slightly with it's claws. Everything about it made Ellen fear for her young life. It was bigger than she was. It had sharp, dangerous looking claws. It was not her kind. It looked older than she was, and she was always nervous around those older than her. To make things worse, Ellen remembered seeing a similar looking creature once. It was much smaller than this one, but she remembered that it had been eating a large rabbit. The scent of fear radiated off of Ellen and she couldn't stop herself from gulping loudly as she stared at the dinosaur with wide eyes.

Desi was about to give up when a familiar feeling wavered into existance in her mind. That feeling she got when a nervous animal, prey, was close. She turned her head and, lo and behold, a scared young deer lay hunkered in the grass. Desi smiled, hoping not to show her teeth to the petrified creature. "Don't worry, I'm an icthyvore," she assured, pulling the big claws back and out of sight. She wagged her tail stiffly. "I'm Desi." With a slight rustle, she sat down and admired the youngling's bravery. Most young animals would flee at the sight of Desi. This one stayed right there, obviously horrified but standing her ground. Desi remembered when she was a baby, she was nervous when a brachiosaur or tyrannosaur walked just over her head and would bolt to the nearest shrub. The pyroraptor female continued to look at the fawn with cobalt eyes, trying not to appear threatning.

Ellen did not move or speak when the monster called "Desi" spoke to her. She only stared up with wide, fearful brown eyes. The young deer wasn't sure what to say or do. She felt like bolting for cover, but what good would that do? This dinosaur could probably outrun her easily. Besides, right now, she was too terrified to move. She couldn't even think. All she could do was cower as the beast moved in to devour her. But... it wasn't coming for her.
When Ellen's mind finally began working again, she spoke quietly, her voice shaky. "Y-y-you're not gonna eat me, are you?" She felt as if she were in a dream. Everything seemed distant and made little sense. "L-like that alligator a-ate my mommy and daddy....." A wiser creature might have bluffed and said they had friends and family near by that would take revenge if their love one was eaten. However, Ellen was only a fawn and she didn't know any better. Her young mind hadn't had time to learn much, for she was only about a month old. For this same reason, the word the monster had used, icky-something, made no sense to her. By the way Desi said it, Ellen assumed she meant that she didn't eat deer, but she couldn't allow herself to believe that. At least, not right away. She wanted assurance.
Up until now, Ellen had kept her eyes locked on Desi, but now she began to quickly glance around, wondering which direction was the best to run in if the dinosaur said she ate deer. The beast with the sharp claws had taken a position that looked less threatening, but this didn't cheer the little fawn up much. It still looked dangerous, it was still big, and it still looked like it could eat her much too easily.
