I do not own Jurassic Park. I only own Mary and Stacy.
Story start
"Mary, are you sure you don't mind taking the photos for the company?" my fellow employee and friend Stacy asked.
I sighed and ran a hand through my short and edgy blonde hair. "Yes Stacy I'm sure. Anyways we are already so close to the island. I'll be fine. The hunters will keep me safe from whatever dinosaurs are out on this island. All I know is the boss better pay me very well for this," I said while checking my camera and the bag of lens and other items I brought. I situated my camera on my neck and the bag on my shoulder before looking at Stacy.
"I'll be fine, don't worry," I said and hugged her. She hugged me tightly and I heard her sob a bit in fear.
"Just come back home safe," Stacy whimpered.
"I'll try," I said and laughed and she hit me.
"That's it. I'm coming with you. You crazy daredevil, you will get yourself killed," Stacy said and I sighed. I have been fighting with her for the past hours on the boat to make her not come, but she won't listen to me anymore.
"Whatever, just don't try and pet the dinosaurs," I said and she smacked me on the back of the head. I laughed while rubbing my head.
"Ladies we are ready," the main hunter said. I never cared to get his name.
"Alright well let's go," I said and jumped off the boat onto an old dock. Some of the boards were missing but they were easy to step over.
Stacy was griping a few times when she almost lost her footing and I rolled my eyes. Stacy is not a nature person so I have no idea why she came, but she keeps thinking she can save me or help me. I have been in the woods ever since I could crawl. My dad was a big nature man and I became a nature lover as well. He taught me how to survive so I think this should be no problem. I just have to take a few pictures of some dinosaurs and then I can go home and get my big paycheck.
"So where are we setting up camp?" I asked one of the hunters closest to me. There were four hunters with Stacy and me in our little group. It pleased me to see a female hunter in the group. Earlier she had explained the different weapons in her arsenal and it made me feel a little better.
"Don't worry miss, we'll find a place when we see it," the man said and I rolled my eyes.
"Well that's comforting," I said before checking my camera. I motioned for Stacy to shut up as we started walking through the first few trees of the jungle. I have never been on an island with dinosaurs, but I have heard Isla Sorna does not disappoint with its dinosaurs. They are not animals in a petting zoo so I am going to be extra careful while I am in their territory.
I heard the motor of the boat as the boat was leaving the dock. The boat would be back in three days. Stacy was gazing at the boat longingly before the female hunter looked at her. "You'll be fine," the female hunter said and tried to give Stacy a reassuring look.
A roar sounded in the far distant and Stacy shook her head. I smirked as I felt my hands itching to take pictures of the dinosaurs. I know my boss wants the pictures for his company's new image, but I just want to take pictures of these beautiful and dangerous creatures.
"This way," one of the hunters called out and I wanted to smack him. It is good for us to be silent, but he yelling is very attention grabbing, which is not good.
"I've heard that the dinosaurs gather around the open fields to eat the vegetation there," one of the hunters said.
"It's not only herbivores eating there," the female hunter said and I agreed with her. Predators lurk in the shadows of the forest edge when there is plenty of prey in the fields. The lead hunter of the group just motioned for us to be quiet as he led us through the jungle and to a clearing. My eyes were scanning around wildly through the tree line. I stared at the big trees around us and started climbing up one.
"What are you doing Mary?" Stacy whispered and I just showed her my camera and pointed to the field. "We're all going to die," Stacy whispered before hiding close to the hunters.
I shook my head at her gloomy mood before resuming my climbing and lying down on my belly on a thick branch. I scooted closer to the edge of the branch so I could get a better look on the field of dinosaurs.
My eyes were wide with amazement as I focused my camera on each type of dinosaur in the field. I took as many pictures as I could, but I did not fill all of the memory. I knew the predators would be arriving very soon and I wanted some pictures of a hunt in action.
One of the hunters tensed and looked around very slowly. "Get up in the trees and be very quiet," the hunter ordered. Stacy climbed the tree as fast as she could and got in the same tree as the hunters. The female hunter got into the same tree as me.
My breath caught in my throat when I stared down the branch and saw a pack of velociraptors. I have seen pictures of them from the failed Jurassic Park, but those were only female raptors. The male raptors were very imposing looking with their red eyes and the few feathers on top of their heads.
The female raptors looked exactly like the ones from Jurassic Park. The hunter besides me was still as stone and silent. I followed her example by not moving, but I had a feeling that the raptors would still see us if they looked up. I just prayed they did not look up and that they just focused on the prey in the field.
The raptors gave each other a few low chirps before slinking into the tall grass of the field. I slowly brought up my camera so I would be ready to take the pictures of the raptors making their kill.
The velociraptors paused and focused their attention on a weak looking dinosaur. It was a big stegosaurus but it looked a little sick and weak on its feet. "Perfect," I thought as I started pressing the button on the camera and snapping pictures of the raptors attacking the stegosaurus. The other dinosaurs charged away for safety. A few stegosauri wanted to help their kin, but the raptors kept them away. The stegosaurus went away and they left the raptors to their kill. The raptors ate quickly and some were carrying meat back into the jungle.
"Must be for the babies," I thought as I held my breath while the raptors ran under the trees.
The crazy frog song started playing and my eyes widened in shock. I looked over at the other tree where I knew Stacy was. She looked terrified as she quickly turned off her cell phone. "I didn't think I'd get service here," she explained quietly to one of the hunters. Everyone was tense and on full alert. The adrenaline was rushing through my veins as two raptors stopped below the large tree and stared up.
"Idiot," I thought as I stared at the raptors from my hiding spot in the leaves.
The raptors let out a few calls and chirps, as they smelled the air. There were two female raptors. However, another raptor soon joined them. The raptor was male. He was tall with black and red skin. He had a few red feathers on his head and blood red eyes. Even though he was not staring at the tree I was in, I could feel the power and hunger in those red eyes.
Stacy whimpered at the large raptors looking into the tree and the raptor let out a loud call. "Shit," one of the hunters whispered that was up in the tree. He grabbed his gun and shot at the raptors. He hit one of the females and she staggered at the blow, but she did not die from it. The two other raptors growled angrily and started clawing and jumping at the tree. I stayed still and so did the girl hunter beside me.
"We need to get out of here," she whispered to me.
"I'm not leaving Stacy," I whispered and she grabbed my arm. She jerked me towards her and the movement drew the attention of the male raptor. I froze in place as those blood red eyes met my own brown eyes.
