-Grins- Okay folks, I've finally gotten my head out of my ass and decided to update this story, since you all loved it so freaking much. LOL.
Chapter Nine: Oh, boy
It's been about eight weeks since Brit came to live with Kelly and I in the pack. Let me just say that this kid wasn't as scared of the raptors as she had been when she first came here. In fact, she took to them like fish with water. And the pack had gone out of its way to make the newest human to the group feel right at home. Selene was no exception to this either, she protected that child like it was one of her youngsters. I had to say that I was quite impressed with it all.
Kelly and I had been on patrol for a while now and the weirdest thing we came across was a torn up parasail in the middle of the freakin' woods; not too far from the nesting area. We could both tell that by the smell of death radiating off of the thing that whoever was flying it was no longer amongst the living. It was quite freaky since we knew for a simple fact that it hadn't been any of the pack that had killed the poor bastard.
Didn't mean to sound crude, but if someone was stupid enough to parasail onto this island, well, I'd say they deserved to get . . . never mind. I was starting to sound like I don't care about the human race…oh, brother.
"Hey, Darla!"
I turned around to see my sister running towards me. "What is it?"
She skidded to a stop and held up something that looked like a camera. "Lookie at what I found!"
Okay, did she have to sound like a kid in a toy store? Yeesh!
"And your point is?"
She stared at me like I was a moron. "No blood."
"Yes, and?"
"That means that there's one other person on this island besides the three of us," she said matter of factly. "And don't ask me how I know, I just do okay."
I rolled my eyes. "What's the point then?"
She grinned at me like I was stupid. "It means that someone will possibly be coming to look for the survivors. And that means we'll finally be able to get the kid off the island!"
Was it just me or did she sound a little happy with the idea of a rescue party coming? I wasn't the least bit happy with this news. It just meant that we had to make sure that none of the pack came with us when we went to deliver the child and it also meant that we'd have to answer a lot of dumbass questions about what we're doing here. Now, do I look like I wanted to do that? Hell no. But then again, I couldn't see Brit staying here on the island with Kel and me. Damn, I hated this decision making thing sometimes. Now I knew how an Alpha felt. Then again, Kel and I were like Alpha's in the pack…for some reason, the raptors took orders from me, Kel and Selene (the Alpha female) without question. What's freakier is that the entire pack knew what we were saying! I'd never been able to figure that one out without a migraine coming on.
Off in the distance, the two of us heard one of the Spino's roaring in the distance. Next thing we heard were gunshots and the two of us were wondering the same thing: What the hell?
Forgetting to report back to the pack, Kelly and I ran headlong towards the sounds. And the thing that stuck was we hadn't been able to hear a boat or an airplane approaching the area . . . maybe that was because we were too busy doing our thing of hunting and bringing food back to the raptors, well, the ones that had been injured in the meal attack. Never again will we be taking on a Triceratops without making sure the damn thing isn't full grown! 'Bout killed me and I've got the scars or rather healing injuries to prove it too.
"Come on," I sighed.
We came upon the scene of an airplane taking off in a hurry and yet, we still heard and felt the ground moving underneath us. Apparently the Spinosaurus wasn't going to let this thing go…
A man came bursting from the foliage, waving for the plane to stop. We could both see the blood coming out of the guy's neck and arms. We could've gone out there to help the moron, but something made us stay in our tree secluded area…Oh, yeah, the Spino wouldn't be too far behind this poor bastard. And we were right.
I almost laughed when the man tried running from the dinosaur, but that was halted when the plane hit the dino a little and went hurtling into the forest. Somehow, we were able to hear the panicked screams of the people inside. And all I could of was: Oh, boy.

Okay, it's not exactly what I had written on paper, but I do hope this update appeases some of you readers out there to not kill me! I'd been really busy with things at home and hadn't had time to get to a computer to update. I hope to get the next chapter up sometime in the future. Thanks.
