Hey everybody. So, it hasn't been long since I last updated; y'all shocked? I'm sorry about the slow progress in my other stories, I have been having a hard time trying to get off of my irregular sleep pattern... I stay up all night and then stay up until I pass out and wake up later on. And then repeat.
Oh, and you guys may have noticed, I deleted an author's note from the stories that had it. I didn't want it there any more, but I left some of the other ones. It was just that Goodbye author note, and I've been itching to get rid of it.
I do not own Jurassic Park, I'm pretty sure I haven't been putting the disclaimer. Oops, I do forget to place it in there often.
Again, thanks babe for being my beta. I hope to see you soon :)
I am so pleased with the amount of people who had read and followed/favorited/reviewed. It is a lot more than I thought this would get.
So anywho, I wish you all to enjoy this new installment of Claws and Nails!
Oh and before I forget, this is set in Jurassic World, so it's going to start to have tie ins to that. There aren't any spoilers YET, but I'll be sure to let you know when they come into play~
Now and enjoy!
A couple of years had passed, maybe eight, give or take. She was successful in her attempt at hiding. Apparently she could camouflage herself into the foliage, as well as kill anyone who found her. Over the years, there had been plenty of invaders to the island she now called home.
Over the years, she had been successful in keeping on the down-low and out of the way of the dinosaurs who had already claimed their dominance in the area. That especially meant the Velociraptors that had managed to survive the first park attempt, twenty years ago.
She remembered clearly what she had learned that day. When she had returned to the lab she had escaped, in her human body, she found the blood bath she had left behind. Through it all, she found what she wanted.
The procedure that they were doing to her was to test how dinosaur blood affected humans. She was also given something that messed with her memories, making it so that she could not remember anything before she woke up that first day at the lab. But she did not care about that, she would not have wanted her family to see her like this anyway.
While searching through that lab and office, she found a file. A file they had kept on her and used to track her progress. It contained everything about her, including her name (which she did remember) and her age, at the time it was twenty-one. As she read the file, she realized what the procedure had done to her completely. It had messed with her own DNA strands and bound the dinosaur blood to her. She was only supposed to have the attributes of a Velociraptor, but she knew that she had gained the entire package.
As she walked through Jurassic World, for the millionth time, she scrunched her nose at what has become her home, her island. Those invaders she had watched had turned her home into nothing more than an amusement park. Her heart clenched as she watched the noisy and ungrateful human children pull their parents along and treat the young herbivores as nothing more than toys. Sure, in the past she had used them as her food, but that did not mean she did not have respect.
A low growl crossed her lips as she immediately turned tail and left to go into one of the less traveled areas. Looking up at the signs that told the directions in the park, she realized why this area was less traveled. It was, for one, closed… And it was also the Velociraptor paddocks. The Velociraptors that came from the previous park were far too wild for them to use as attractions, so they were killed. But, the eggs from those were kept and raised in the park.
She ignored the signs that stated the closed section of the park, closed probably because the carnivores still needed to be handled. She continued on towards the paddock, wanting to see what was going on. She had not gone anywhere near the Velociraptors, in fear that they would notice the difference in her scent from the humans and the similarity towards their own.
It was relatively easy to get through the forest undetected, even with the thermal sensors and cameras placed round. She had mapped them all out long ago and could move unnoticed through the park. She never said having a Velociraptor section of her was a bad thing. She had rather enjoyed it for the last eight years.
She navigated through the forest and watched as the many handlers worked around the paddock, from her position in the vegetation. There was one human that caught her attention almost immediately. She had noticed him before, he almost always wears the same thing. A blue button-down shirt with a brown leather vest and brown pants (or jeans) with brown or black boots.
She had been watching the Velociraptor paddock since it was built, since the others were put in. And with the young ones, the man came with them. He could communicate with them in a way that the others couldn't. He communicated with them… As an alpha.
With a deep breath, she stepped out of the foliage and walked forward. She could feel the curious eyes of the other idiotic handlers on her, along with the eyes of the dark-skinned one. She respected him as well, almost as she did the other.
Soon, she felt the gaze of the male on her. She watched as he walked closer, handing off an empty bucket to the other hands. It used to contain some type of meat, she could smell the blood. He stopped in front of her, his green eyes piercing into the amber orbs she possessed.
A pleasant, and fake, smile crossed her face as she held out her hand. "Hello Mr. Grady, my name is Amethyst Borders. I'm the new handler."
So I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. I still do not like how short it is... But hey, it allows the chapters to be written faster. I'm going to tell you guys a secret: I have chapters 4-7 all written :)
But I am not going to post them all at once.
Again, thanks baby for being my beta, means the world. I'll see you later, yeah?
I have nothing more to say, other than please leave me reviews! Tell me what you guys think okay? Follow if you want more. Favoriting is not required but it is recommended :D
