Chapter 4
AN: Happy New Year! I wish all of you the best year of your lives!
Once again Thank you all of those that reviewed my Story. For those that asked what was the name of the main male raptor, well this chapter will finally reveal it. There was one of the reviewers who asked why the raptors did not try to escape, well, they know that if they escape, they would have to get past the electrical fences that surround the enclosure and even if they do, they need some form of cover like a storm or something to achieve this.
Time to go to the story. Reminder, I do not own Jurassic Park, only the Ocs.
The rest of the week flew by and I had spent them in the Raptor enclosure repairing the mess that the male Alpha raptor had created. Funny thing was that over that period of time, I believe that I had become his friend. He would be waiting at the door when I entered, spent the whole day following me around and would even send me off at the end of the day.
During the time that we spent together, he never even made a single move to harm me and even helped me out a few times by handing me tools and helping me dig holes. I gradually started to see the raptor as a friend and no longer feared him at all, I trusted him to help me watch out for the other raptors as I worked. I even named him! He is now called Sorin and responds whenever I called him.
I never told anyone about my new friendship with the raptor, not even Josh since his first encounter with Sorin was not exactly very friendly. Anyway, today was a very important day as Hammond was going to arrive with his very first batch of guests that he personally invited to be the first to explore Jurassic Park. From what I recalled, his guests consisted of the professor Alan Grant, his fellow colleague, a lawyer, a mathematician and Hammond's own grandchildren, Tim and Alex.
Simon wanted Josh and I to take care of Tim and Alex when they arrived until they went on the tour with the rest of their grandpa's guest the next day. So now, Josh and I were on our way to the helipad to pick up the kids, who had just arrived.
"Hello. You guys must be Tim and Alex. I am Rae and this guy here is Josh. We will be your guides till your grandfather arrives later on in the evening." I smiled in welcome.
"I think you are scaring them." Josh whispered to me when I was ignored by the two kids in front of me. I 'accidently' stepped on his toes as the four of us boarded the jeep and made our way to the visitors' centre.
We spent the whole afternoon following the hyperactive Tim, who had insisted on exploring the whole of the visitors' museum. Alex just followed behind her brother quietly, not really interested and a little scared. Finally, Arnold radioed us to tell us to bring the children back to the main entrance of the visitors' centre as Hammond has arrived with his guests.
Tim and Alex flew into Hammond's arms when they spotted him, Josh and I stood at the side, unsure how to act in front of he guest but Hammond saved us as he started to introduce us to them one by one.
"My dear Gentlemen and Lady. I present to you my two Gardeners and assistant park wardens. This strong man here is Josh while this cute little lady here is Rae." Hammond said with a wide smile. Me cute? Well that's a first. No one had called me that before.
"Hello" The whole group greeted. Hammond invited them to tea before he started the brief tour on the history of the park. Josh and I were allowed to go back to our duties, so we went to take a stock check of the four green houses located throughout the whole island. After we were done, we went for dinner and retired for the day. Tomorrow was a big day, as everything had to be in working order for the very first tour of Jurassic Park.
"Your human is really something eh Brother. Nailing your name in one try." Lexus laughed from where he sat opposite me. We were both at the watering hole watching the chicks play around in the shallows while their mothers went off for some quality time together after dinner.
"She really named you Sorin? Are you sure she is not part raptor?" Lucas asked.
"Don't be stupid Lucas, she is definitely human. She practically smells like one." Lexus answered, "Unless there is something wrong with your nose."
"My sense of smell is perfectly fine. Plus I was just asking!" Lucas fake glared at his elder brother.
"Would you to shut up! I am trying to think here." I snapped.
"Of?" Lexus asked, grinning.
"His human, like duh!" Lucas shouted.
"I know that you freak. I was just trying to tease him." Lexus snapped back.
"No you two noisy loudmouths. Can't you feel it? A huge storm is coming!" I barked.
"Oooo… Storm, you're talking about the escape plan right?" Lexus asked.
"Yes. When the storm hits, probably around this time or slightly later tomorrow, we will make our escape from this caged forest." I explained slowly for my two elder brothers.
"Then Freedom!" Lucas shouted.
"Won't the humans come after us?" Lexus questioned.
"Of course but we will kill them if necessary." I answered.
"How about your human? When we escape, you can't see her anymore." Lucas pointed out.
"Don't worry, she will be coming along with us." I smirked, thinking about how I would finally have my human constantly with me.
"I said it before when you first met her and I will say it again now. You are OBSEESED!" Lucas screamed.
" I am NOT obsessed!" I yelled back, sweeping my tail to trip him into the water. The look on his face when he hit the water had both Lexus and I laughing so hard that we too slipped and fell into the water.
"Rae! Wake up and open this door right now!" A loud voice shouted as some idiot pounded on my door. I cursed as I threw my blanket aside and got up and went to throw open the door.
"What!" I growled, I was unable to get any sleep last night when I had a sudden allergy attack from who knows what I ate. My whole body had itched the whole night and I had stayed up the whole night scratching.
"Wow, you look like shit." Josh greeted, making me growl even lower.
"What is it you want?" I snapped.
"Simon wants us to meet him at the control centre in half and hour. Thought you might want to know." Josh answered with a smile.
"Argh! I'll see you there." I yawned, slamming the door shut before going to get ready for the day.
Half and hour later, Josh and I stood in front of Simon who gave us a briefing on the important points of the tour before sending us on our way. I went to the raptor enclosure for some last minute checks while Josh went to the triceratops enclosure.
After waiting for about half a day, the tour group with Hammond arrived at the Raptor enclosure, just in time for feeding time.
"Hello Boss, Doctor Grant and the rest of you'll. You guys are just in time for the raptors' dinner time." I greeted as Simon came up with his precious gun.
"Thanks. Ellie and I have been looking forward to seeing how the raptors hunt and feed." Doctor Grant said.
"Then you are in for a treat Doctor." I grinned.
We all made our way to the viewing gallery as the rest of the other workers, prepared to lower a cow into the enclosure. Doctor Grant started to ask some questions but before I could answer, Simon cut in and answered them for me.
I had seen the raptors feed quite a few times before but I was not really used to it. It was just plain weird still but I guess survival means just about eating anything.
"That's was awesome." Doctor Grant said after everything was over.
"I am glad you liked it doctor. Now how about we head for dinner before you al head out on the tour." Hammond said, as he started to lead his guests away. Simon said I was dismissed, so I went back to the dorms and back to bed after grabbing a quick dinner with Josh and some other people who had also just gotten off from work.
The storm was getting nearer and I could not wait for it to hit, so that my pack and I could escape our confined forest. More importantly, so that I could go get my human. I could smell her scent if I breathed in deep enough, she was near, most likely above the forest looking down at us with the rest of the humans, that I could smell.
Dinner was served and my pack and I ate our fill in preparation for our escape. Soon my human, soon I will have you and I have no intention of letting you go.
