A/N: Sorry to have you guys wait so long for an update. Again there might be some inconsistencies due to lapses in my memory and some minor creative freedoms.


Blue slid around a corner, claws gouging the polished wood floors, and rushed toward Owen's I-mean-business voice. She stopped dead in the doorway. A black, snarling figure hunched in the middle of the room, whiplike tail thrashing, saliva dripping from its jagged teeth. There was something familiar in its long arms and curved talons, its skull-like face and lipless mouth, the malicious glint in its eye. There was a lot about it, she realized, that reminded her of the bloodthirsty Indominus. The one who had misled her and her sisters, the reason that Blue had spent years alone and friendless in a strange jungle.

There was a whimpering child huddling on the bed. Owen stood between Blue and the inky monster, back to the doorway. His attention was completely focused on the creature that was poised to leap on him, and so he didn't notice Blue behind him until she let out a screech and threw herself at the Indoraptor, defending the closest thing to a friend that she had as much as venting her anger and loneliness on this ghost of the Indominus.

Like the Indominus, its hide was tough, nearly impervious to her claws and teeth. There was an odd scent coming from it, something she couldn't place, something she couldn't know was male. He hissed and screamed, twisting and snapping, knocking over furniture and tearing the wallpaper. Blue crawled over his back and ducked under his claws. She had no one to back her up this time, no sisters or rex. No one would be coming to her aid if she got caught.

She recognized the chittering and barking coming from the Indoraptor. He was trying to communicate, but she wouldn't be making the same mistake twice.

Blue sank her teeth into the less-tough underside of the Indoraptor's throat, and he sent the both of them through the window. As they landed in a struggling heap on the roof, Blue was dimly aware of Owen ushering the shrieking child further along the top of the building. The Indoraptor tensed against her. It was the child he wanted. And Owen would protect the child, had been ready to die for it. Blue desperately clawed at the Indoraptor's ribs, but she couldn't even break the skin and he hardly paid her any mind. Digging his talons into the nape of her neck, he flung her aside.

She slid down the rain-slick shingles on the opposite side of the roof, managing to stop her descent just before she plummeted to the ground several stories below. For a moment she clung to the roof there, panting, the downpour washing the blood from her neck and sides in red rivulets. Trying to stop this thing seemed futile. Her attacks had no effect, and it was just a matter of time before he killed her. Perhaps it would be better for her to crawl back into the mansion and find her own escape.

The girl gave another scream and Blue could hear Owen's low, urgent tones. The Indoraptor would kill Owen, easily. A peal of thunder rattled her bones, and Blue began to inch her way back up the roof. Owen was the only creature that had shown her kindness. And she hadn't become the beta and been responsible for keeping her sisters in line by running away from a challenge.

As Blue crested the peak, she saw the Indoraptor perched above a hole in the ceiling. He had Owen and the child cornered on the edge of the rooftop, ugly maw open in a triumphant howl. Blue didn't think. She threw herself at the Indoraptor and felt them tip over and fall, plummeting through the mansion. She braced for a bone-crunching impact, but the Indoraptor smashed onto a replica triceratops head and his crumpled body broke her fall. Blood pattered to the floor in a steady stream. Blue lay on the still-twitching Indoraptor, gasping and trembling with adrenaline. The bedlam in the mansion was getting worse. She had done her part in helping Owen, now it was time for her to leave before something nastier could come along. She dropped to the floor, and turned her back on the grisly scene.


A/N: Yes, it's canon that the Indoraptor is male.

One more chapter and then I think this fic will be wrapping up. Thank you for all the reviews and follows.
