"Excuse me, ma'am you can't-"
"Move out of my way!"
A loud female voice roared as she pushed past the man who was two times larger than her and stormed into clean, white, and bright board room. When she came into the room all eyes were on her. Her blue eyes went to the man at the head of the table.
"You're petting her down?!"
Masrani stood up and looked at the dirty woman in jeans standing in the room. A solemn look was on his face and he didn't look her in the eye.
"Annie, can you please come to my office?"
She crossed her arms and let out a deep breath and followed him out of the room and down the hall to his large office. The moment Annie walked into the room she opened her mouth again.
"How can you do this?! None of that was her fault!"
"Annie, I don't any other choice. The boy's father-"
"He can stick it up his ass! Sabrina was trying to protect Jill! The kid was asking for it! He was throwing rocks at her!"
"Annie!"
She closed her mouth and clenched her jaw. She stood her ground and didn't look away from Masrani. Her employer took a deep breath before continuing.
"I really have no say in this. The boy's father is a powerful man and is going to sue if nothing is done."
"She's my animal! She has a family!"
"I'm sorry, Annie. I wish I could do something, I really do. I hate to do this. But it's happening tomorrow morning."
"You let this happen and they will never trust me again."
Masrani looked down. Annie's blood boiled and she turned on her heels and stormed out of the office. She didn't stop till she was out of the building. Annie got into her truck and drove away as fast as she could. She was still seeing red and she knew nothing could calm her down.
She drove for the next twenty minutes before she stopped in front of Airstream trailer and shack. In the front yard of the hidden away home was a man working on another truck. He heard the truck and stopped working and looked up. When she put her foot on the brakes it was foot to the floor, an almost neck breaking stop, she took the keys out then got out and ran towards him. Annie wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly.
"Hey, what happened?"
He asked in shock as he, in turn wrapped his arms around her and held her close.
"I can't save her, Owen. They're going to kill her in the morning."
Then all the built up anger boiled over and tears came out. Annie was filled with both anger and heartbreak. After the long drive home the anger seemed to die down and the truth set in and Annie couldn't handle it. The smile on Owen's face dropped when he heard the news. He put his head down and kissed the top of Annie's head.
"I'm so sorry, Annie…"
Letting out a sob, tears rolled down Annie's face and it seemed like it was never going to stop. Owen stood there in front yard of their hidden away bungalow holding his co worker and girlfriend. They stood like this for what seemed like an hour until the tears stopped and Annie's legs could barely hold her anymore.
"Let's get you inside."
Picking her up, Owen walked to the trailer and took her inside, laying her down on their bed. Annie curled into a ball and turned away from Owen. He didn't say anything, all he did was lay down next to her and wrap his arms around her.
Annie stood at the gate, her heart felt heavy as she looked into the enclosure. Owen stood by her side with his hand around her waist. Letting out a deep breath Annie lifted her hand and typed the code in than slowly the cage door started to open. She didn't look at Owen one last time, she left his side and walked into the enclosure.
The park had closed down the triceratops enclosure for the day and only one of the large plant eaters was inside, Sabrina. There she stood in the clearing eating a patch of grass. Her head looked up when she heard the cage door opening and Annie walked in. The dinosaur walked away from her food and towards Annie.
As Annie walked towards Sabrina she felt eyes looking at her. Quickly looking to her left she saw Masrani, a few other big wigs at the park with the punk kid and his family. Slowly her anger started to build again but then her eyes moved away from the viewing outlook and went to Sabrina. She was standing in front of her now and she dropped her to knees in front of the triceratop with a smile on her face. Sabrina laid down in front of her trainer, like a puppy playing with their owner.
"Hi, Sabby… hi baby…"
She said putting her hands on either side of her large head. Sabrina let out a gruff and slowly moved her head closer to Annie's, making her laugh and rest her head against the side of her face. Looking up the dinosaur's face she made eye contact with her, almost making Annie's cry again. When her head rested on her's, Sabrina let out another low noise, one that Annie had accosted with happiness for the large herbivores.
"Hi Sabrina. There's my sweet babygirl."
Then they both heard a twig snap and Sabrina looked away from Annie, but she moved so she was in front of Sabrina again.
"It's just us, Sabby. It's just us, okay."
The triceratop let out a large breath out of her nose and tried to moved her head again, only to have Annie in her line of vision again.
"Hey. Focus on me."
Out of the corner of her eye, Annie saw one of the park's workers coming up behind Sabrina with a gun in his hands. Annie took a deep breath and put her head against Sabrina's again.
"It's okay, Sabby. I've got you… I'm so sorry."
Then a gunshot echoed in the enclosure and Annie felt Sabrina's last breath leave her. In the distance a call was sent out by two other triceratops, the sound was heartbreaking. Looking up at her eyes, Annie saw the light leave them and then the weight of the large dinosaur fell to the right. The tears fell again from Annie's eyes as she looked at the now dead triceratop. She started to cry and again rested her head against Sabrina's.
From the viewing post Owen stood off to the side from the large group that looked on. He looked from the dead dinosaur to the family of the boy. A grin was on the pre teen's face as he looked at Sabrina and Annie.
"Now that awful creature won't hurt anyone anymore."
The father said to his son as he placed his hand on his shoulder. Owen quickly looked back at Annie then went back to the family.
"That was an animal. She was trying to protect her family and your son was the threat to her family. He doesn't even have a scratch on him."
The father looked at Masrani with a look of disgust on his face.
"Who is this?"
"One of our trainers. Owen, please this isn't the place."
"No! Listen to me you son of a bitch, that animal had no right to die. You just took away the trust that those triceratops have for that trainer."
"Owen. One more word and you're fired."
The trainer bit his tongue and turned around walked away. He heard the older man laugh then say,
"He's talking like this things have feelings."
It took everything in Owen to not turn around. Instead he walked back to the door and waited for Annie to come back.
Annie stood next to Barry as they watched Owen walk along the catwalk of the velociraptor enclosure. He was working with his four raptors Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo. Usually Annie would be watching like a hawk, but after that morning she barely wanted to be there.
"Sorry about Sabrina."
Barry said as he watched Owen. Annie looked up at the man next to her and then looked back over at Owen.
"I tried to go back to Kelly and Jill but they won't listen to me."
"I'm sorry Annie. On the bright side you'll have more time to work with Selina and the other girls."
"I guess. I'm heading over after Owen's done."
Barry nodded and laughed a little, making Annie lightly push him without taking her eyes off of Owen.
"What's so funny?"
"You and Owen. Two raptor trainers in love."
"Shut up, Barry."
Author's Note:
I just saw Jurassic World last night and now I need to see it 12 more times. I fell back in love with velociraptors and felt like a kid again.
Then how did you not fall in love with Chris Pratt/ Owen in this movie?!
Anyways, favourite, follow, and review!
Ciao
XOXO
