I've been waiting. Waiting… And waiting… Time no longer exists for me. The sun simply comes up, and then goes down. I've gotten bigger, that's for sure. The trees shake when I walk, my movements are no longer quick and swift, but powerful and lumbering, and I can now see behind the clear wall with ease.
I pass it now on my rounds of my enclosure. There are cracks in it, from my one desperate escape attempt. I don't even remember what happened. One moment I'm sitting in the shade, the next I'm banging on the wall with all my might, blinded by desperation and fueled by rage. I'm ripped from my thoughts by a chorus of clanging. The humans have been oddly active on the outside of my enclosure lately.
They've been gradually building higher and higher. A growl forms in my throat. Those infernal things. All they've ever done is keep me here. I flex my claws, remembering how they came in when I killed my sister. The only time those walls opened was when they came….
I don't know how long I stood there, running this plan through my head, but by the time I came to my senses the Blob is at the glass staring at me. I snort and walk off to my sleeping spot in a small clearing in the trees. I settle down, close my eyes, and plot.
I wake up in the heat of the day, the sun baking my scales. I blinked wearily for a few minutes, unsure what had awaken me. A chopping noise? It sounded too big to have come from the humans that were building. And athough the noise passed by above me, it was definitely not a bird... But I forget to worry about it when two red forms appear in my peripheral vision. My head snaps up as my heat detection picks up two bodies standing behind the clear wall. I stand up, alert and use my normal vision to see their features clearly. One is the female human, precise and proper. I haven't seen her in a while. But the other is new. I slowly take a few steps to get a better look at him.
This one is male, and his most noticeable feature are his eyes. The expression seems strange, but yet so familiar. His eyes gleam with an emotion I haven't experienced since I was much younger. Curiosity…. I study him the same way. It's been so long since something new and interesting has been this close for me to analyze.
I give a defiant chuffing as he stares me down. But he turns and begins to communicate with the other human. I can hear them somewhat, their small voices almost inaudible behind the clear wall. But I don't need to understand nor hear them to know they're here to talk about me.
After awhile, they leave. The Blob reclines back and falls asleep once they're gone. Honestly, I'm not even sure of his use. I try to hunker down and fall back asleep, but my body won't let me. Something inside me keeps whispering in my ear, Prepare! Get ready! You need to prepare! My nerves were on edge, but for what, I can't understand or explain. I flex my claws again, this time noticing how dull they are. I get up and go over to one of the enclosure walls, raking my claws against the rough surface. Once I'm done, my claws are sharper and the wall is marked with scratches.[1]
I lie down in the shade. My claws battle ready and my muscles taut. The shade helps cool me down, and I let it's coolness flow through my body. Even my thoughts became slower as I let my body cool down. And sometimes if I relaxed and let my mind clear enough… My scales would gradually change too. I'm not sure how it happens, but it just does.
I close my eyes, take slow and deep breaths, and relax. Whatever was about to happen, all I'd have to do was wait for it. And I was very good at that. And so I began waiting… Waiting… And waiting...
[1] - I've always really disliked how they anthropomorphized the Indominus so much in that aspect. I can understand her using her camo and her ability to lower her temp, maybe thinking the humans had heat sensors too or something. But scratching up the wall on the chance the humans would come in, seemed a little farfetched to me.
A/N: Okay, yes. I know. Almost a year since this thing started and only just publishing chapter 3. Bad me. BUT, I've had a lot of time to think, plan, and go over details and such in my head. I have decided this fic will have TWO endings. Say wot?! Two endings? :O Yeppers, you heard it folks. Straight from the grotto's mouth. AAANNNDDD two similar fics of our other favorite dinos from their POV. One is a sequel to a previous fic, and one will be new like this one. So keep those eyes open!
