Oi. Fine. Some reviewers keep calling me immature and whatnot. But pardon me for expressing my opinion. Sorry if I offended any of you and that Anon Critic. I was just angry.
But may I just point something out. This is a FAN fiction. Meaning it's meant to be FAN made. It's not supposed to be realistic. It's meant to be a way for people to leave the world and live in something else entirely. So don't read so much into those type of mistakes.
Also, you all say Kellee is childish, unprofessional and has no respect for her "higher ups". But answer me this, did Owen respect Claire? Or Simon? Or anyone in Control? Was be exactly professional? Did he really get along with EVERY single coworker? No. He wasn't and didn't. Kellee can be the same.
No hard feelings to anyone. But here's another chapter.
Enjoy lovelies!
~PREVIOUSLY~
"I love you more than you'll ever know." I mumbled, lightly kissing the under side of his chin. He shifted slightly, but remained asleep. I couldn't help but smile at him.
With that, I closed my eyes and fell asleep to the soothing beating of his heart, wishing it could always like this.
But, if only I had known that I'd meet death itself in less than 3 days...
~JUNE 10th, 2015 - 12:26 P.M.~
I got called into the paddock today because there was a minor issue with Rexy. That was assured. What's my response to this "minor issue"?
It isn't minor.
"Shit!" I yelled, ducking under the swinging tail. "For fuck's sake, Rexy! Stop swinging yo- STOP THAT!"
Rexy, having a temper tantrum, began slamming her head into the tree hallway, scaring everyone inside. They began screaming and panicking, running around in different directions.
"Oh come on!" I muttered, severely annoyed. "You know what? Fine. Fine!" I yanked a flare out from the box on the wall. "I'm done with this already."
Rexy's head turned to the light of the flare, her eyes dilating at the sight of it. She walked away from the hallway and started to come towards me. Her growl was louder than usual and it was a lot more harsher than usual. This wasn't right.
I chucked the flare as far as I could and watch her run after it with a mighty roar. People in the hallway started cheering and screaming. Go figure. Scared one moment, excited the next. But honestly, they weren't really my concern.
I want to know what was up with Rexy.
Her mood was just progressing more violent everyday. She nearly knocked down a cluster of trees a few days ago. Then yesterday, she actually tried to smack me away with her head. And now, this!
It's making no sense! It's giving me a headache! I rubbed my temples while walking toward the control panel. I need to talk to Claire about this. Maybe she can tell me what hell is happening.
After opening the door, I immediately walked to my bag on the floor and pulled out my phone. I clicked Claire's name and put the phone to my ear. After a few rings, I heard her voice come through the speaker. "Hello?"
"Hello Ms. Dearing." I answered. "So I came in to see Rexy. And well, I don't know what's going on."
I heard her sigh. "What's happening?"
"She's throwing a temper tantrum of sorts. She's been more and more violent of late." I groaned. "She just attempted to take down the hallway."
"I didn't know she was becoming more violent. Did you put that in your report?"
I chose my words carefully. "In a way. It's altered to fit the report?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I babied it basically." I admitted. "But can we please focus on what's happening to Rexy? Why is her behavior turned so aggressive?"
There was a pause before she spoke. "Can you come to the lab? We can discuss it there. I'd rather not do it over the phone."
I nodded my head before realizing she couldn't see that. "Uh, yeah. I'll be there shortly. Are you there now?"
"Yes. I'm in Mr. Wu's office right now."
"Ok. I'll see you in a bit. Goodbye." I don't think she heard me say goodbye seeing as she didn't respond back.
Sighing, I grabbed my stuff and walked out to my motorcycle. After I got on and started it, I sped off. Navigating through the terrain, I made it to the labs within a few minutes.
I parked my baby then proceeded inside. A couple of flights of stairs and a hop then a skip and jump I was in the lab, standing in front of the pristine Claire. Mr. Wu was there too, but let's forget that serial killer. Please?
"Hello Miss Ender." Evidently no forgetting will be happening.
"Hello Mr. Wu. Ms. Dearing." I gave a forced smile. "Nice to see you."
Claire dismissed it with a wave of her hand. "Likewise. Anyway, you said Your asset is behaving violently?"
"Yeah." I nodded. "She's a lot more aggressive. Showing off her strength. It's to the point she's trying to prove she's the alpha in this relationship. Trying to prove she has owner ship of me."
Claire looked confused while Wu looked pained. "I was hoping this wouldn't happen." He muttered.
"What wouldn't happen?" Claire and I asked him.
He sighed. "What we're about to share with you Miss Ended is strictly classified. You cannot tell anyone." He ordered. "You know how we have the new asset coming soon?"
"Yes." Claire said matter-o-factly.
I shrugged. "I've heard rumors and saw a pen. I didn't jump to any conclusions."
"Well," Wu walked over to his computer and typed a few things in. "we've been working on an entire different species of dinosaur completely. A new phenomenon."
"Like, a new dinosaur gene was found?" I asked.
Claire shook her head. "No. We've genetically engineered a dinosaur. A hybrid."
My mouth dropped and I began to stutter. "W-what? How?"
"We've taken DNA strands and kind of altered them. Mashed them together in a way." She answered.
"What is it? The species?"
Wu stood up and showed me his computer screen. A giant dinosaur was shown on it. "Jurassic World presents the Indominus Rex."
"If it's a hybrid, what is it's genomes?" I asked, studying the picture. I noticed it would be big, longer than Rexy. It almost looked like an allosaurus. A giant allosaurus.
"The base genome is a T-Rex," Claire cleared her throat, "the rest is classified."
I gave them both an incredulous look. "How did you manage to get Rexy's DNA stra-" I cut myself off. My brain suddenly recalled the meeting last year where we had to collect all the DNA strands from our assets. "It's from the DNA samples we gave you last year, isn't it?"
"Yes. But we didn't use them all." Wu said. "We picked a handful of the DNA. There were trial and errors, but it ended up successful in the end."
"Is it part herbivore?"
Claire shook her head. "No. We contemplated it, but we figured a carnivore would be better. We may expand with a hybrid herbivore in the future."
I glanced back at the screen. "Is it already in the paddock?"
"Yes. It's only an adolescent, but still big." Wu answered. "It'll be bigger than a T-Rex."
I stood straight again. "Ok. This all well and good, but how does this affect Rexy's behavior?"
"As far as Rexy has known her whole life, she's been the alpha dinosaur of this park." Wu explained, "She's used to knowing she's the biggest. But now that the Indominus Rex has been release into her paddock, Rexy can sense she's losing her alpha status. She can sense she's no longer the biggest nor holds more power."
Fan-fucking-tastic. "So you're saying Rexy is trying to prove her alpha status? Trying to show she's in control still?"
"Yes." Claire answered. "She'll be more violent in her actions. So we suggest caution. We have no clue how aggressive she'll get. Even towards you."
Even better! I sighed, pushing my hair back. "Ok. Um, I'll try and see how she reacts when I try to approach her. I'll go back to the paddock after this. Hopefully she'll respond well."
"That sounds like an okay plan. Do you want ACU to come with you?" Claire asked.
I shook my head violently. "Oh no! Last time that didn't end well. And she wasn't freaking out over anything last time. I don't want a repeat."
"Well, alright." Claire looked torn. "Please be careful Miss Ender."
I waved her concern away. "Nothing should happen." I gave her a lazy smirk. "It'll be fine."
~TIME SKIP~
I so lied! It's not fine! Holy Hell it is not fine!
When I tried to approach Rexy, she literally growled at me then roared. Now, she's chasing me. And it's not a game. This is life and death.
I was heading towards the control panel when (go figure) I tripped over a damn root in the ground. Why the fuck is that raised?! I attempted to scramble up when something horrifying happened.
Rexy was standing over me, her massive body shadowing mine. I heard her growl deep inside her. It was enough to shake my body, and I actually started to cry. In this moment, I was scared of Rexy.
Her head lowered, her mouth opening. I had a feeling this wasn't going to me a lick either. This was only one thing.
Her roar.
It made me cover my ears and squeeze my eyes shut. It ricocheted around the paddock and made me go deaf for a few moments. It shook the very ground I was huddled on and made everything vibrate.
Then silence, complete silence filled the void, other than the pounding sound of my heart. My fear was overruling my want to open my eyes, which were now pouring with tears. My body convulsed with sobs that left me gasping for air.
Finally, I gained enough courage to open my eyes. At first my vision was too blurry to see anything so I quickly wiped my eyes. Opening them again, I nearly screamed.
Rexy's teeth we're right in front of my face, her exhaled air puffing against my face. For once in the long period I've been with her, I was deathly scared. I didn't know what she was going to do. Eat me. Rip me to shreds. The thoughts scared me.
I felt more tears roll down my face. My body stayed still, no longer listening to my screaming brain. My instincts were to try to run, but I knew I had to stay still or else she may actually hurt me. Or kill me.
After a few moments of this position, I knew I had to do something. "R-R-Rex-y." I stuttered out. Her head twitched slightly, her eyes started to un-dilate. "P-p-ple-lea-se back u-up."
I think she started to come back to reality, because she began to shake her head and back up slowly. "T-that's a goo-good girl." My body was shaking so badly. Every one of my words were coming out shaky. I managed to stand up slowly, but it was on weak legs.
Rexy looked down at me, her eyes holding confusion. She attempted to step forward but stopped short when I instinctively backed up, nearly falling over again. And dare I say it, she looked hurt. Like she couldn't believe I was scared of her.
With a small whimper, she turned around and walked off, hanging her head down. I knew I shouldn't blame her for any of this rather her instincts. But my brain was just telling me to get out of that paddock, that there was danger in here.
I managed to stumble to the control panel. After it opened, I stepped in and just stood there. Once the door closed, I felt my body wrack with more sobs and my legs gave out. I slid down the door into a crouching position, and all I could do was cry.
My emotions started to go to war. The frightened part of me told me to quit my job. The loving part told me this was an accident, that it wasn't Rexy's fault but her instincts. Then the angered part of me was yelling to get away from that monster.
Monster.
I shook my head and pushed my hands to my head. No. Rexy isn't a monster. She's not a monster! SHE'S NOT A MONSTER!
"It's not her fault! She's not a monster! It's not her fault! She isn't a monster." I chanted internally before my brain just went blank.
My body began to rock back and forth, the shock slowly setting in. It started to become harder to breathe and my vision started to cloud up. Fear was settling in and my body started to shut down.
I was having a panic attack.
I attempted to call out to someone, but all that came out was incoherent babble. Who'd hear me anyways?
My eye sight became worse and worse as my breathing became slower. Eventually I couldn't breathe at all. My panic worsened. Was I about to die?
I didn't have a chance to contemplate it as I saw a bright light fill the room and heard muffled voices. Almost as if they were underwater.
The last blurry thing I saw was someone running towards me before I blacked out completely.
~TIME SKIP~
"Kellee."
God?
"Kellee."
I'm coming God!
"Fuck's sake Kellee! Wake up!"
Why is God acting so rude? And why does he sound female?
With all the strength I had, I opened my eyes and shut them again. Why is it so bright in heaven? "Can we turn the brightness down, please?"
"Yeah." God sounds strangely familiar.
I heard a click and when I opened my eyes, I was met with an overhead lamp. Which is weird, because I didn't think heaven's light comes from a lamp... wait a second!
I turned my head to the side and saw Lizzy sitting next to me, holding my hand. Her smile was gentle but pained. "You're not God." I looked around and realized this wasn't heaven either, but the medical room in fact.
"Nope. Just me." She chuckled, then she sobered up. "How are you feeling?"
I sat up, cringing along the way. "Like I got ran over by a damn semi-truck. What happened?"
Lizzy shifted uncomfortablly. "Um, you had a panic attack. We believe Rexy sent you into a state of shock..." her voice slowly disappeared. I started to remember everything that happened. Rexy. Her violent roar. Her instincts.
I heard a heart monitor start to speed up drastically, most likely mine. "Hey. Hey. Calm down. Calm down. You're alright. Nothing is gonna harm you. You're okay." Lizzy attempted to sooth me.
"She nearly attacked me." I mumbled. "She was blood thirsty. And it wasn't really her fault, but it was scary nonetheless Liz." I felt tears spring to my eyes. "Lizzy. I was scared of her. Truly scared."
"Hush. Kellee. You're okay. It's understandable. What's important is she didn't hurt you." Lizzy sat on the bed and pulled me into a hug. "She realized what she was doing and stopped in time."
I began hicupping from my tears. "I don't want to be scared of her. I love her! She's my baby. I don't want to be scared of her!"
"I know. I know." Lizzy mumbled comforting. "And you don't have to be scared of her. No need to be afraid of her. Not at all. It was in the spur of the moment."
I let out a sigh and started to calm down. Lizzy was a very soothing person. I was thankful for her presence at this moment. I don't think I'd be able to handle this alone.
When I went to say something, I heard a commotion come from the hallway. " 't give a shit if someone is already in there! My girlfriend is in there! Now back the hell up!"
"Owen." Lizzy and I muttered.
The door swung open, a worried looking Owen stepping in the room followed by a protesting doctor. Or nurse. Whatever you wish to call her. "Sir, she can only have one visitor at a time. Please le-"
"Don't worry." Lizzy spoke as she stood up. "I was just leaving. Bye Sourwolf. Feel better." She gave me a smile and nod before walking out.
The nurse huffed and let go of Owen's shoulder. He immediately ran to my side, cupping my cheek. "Are you ok? Are you hurt? Do you need anyt-"
I cut him off. "I'm fine. Shaken, but fine." I sighed.
"I heard what happened, how do you feel about it?" Owen asked.
"Honestly, scared. Sad. Angry." I shrugged. "Scared that Rexy will lose her trust in me. Sad that she's even like this. Angry that I can't do anything to help."
He sat on the bed next to me. "I'm sure this little tiff won't break her trust in you. I'm sure she's feeling guilty right now. Probably mourning over her mistake."
"I don't know." My voice shook. "It hurts though. I was afraid of her. I never wanted to be afraid of her." I sniffled, tears started to cascade down my cheeks. "She was trying to prove she was the alpha. And she scared me."
Owen used his thumbs to wipe my tears away. "Don't cry babe. Please. It hurts me to see you cry." I sniffled a little more before finally halting the waterworks. "Everything will be okay. Rexy won't hate you and vice versa. She loves you. Everyone can see that. Don't worry."
I nodded and looked up at him. "Will you stay here with me?" I asked, knowing I'd probably have to stay for a few more hours.
"Of course." He laid down and wrapped his arm around me, letting me curl into his side, resting my head against his chest. "I won't leave you. Ever."
I smiled and snuggled closer to him. Enjoying the sound of his heart beat and the smell of his cologne. If only we could freeze time and enjoy this forever.
But I didn't know I only had 2 days left...
~TIME SKIP~
Woo! Another chapter done! And, a clock ticking down until the big bang happens! What does Kellee mean she only has 2 days? Till her death or something bigger?! Who knows!
Anyway, review what you think.
Answer me this: What did you think of Kellee's vulnerable side and do you think she'll be too afraid to face Rexy ever again?
Love you all!
