*I'll Never Leave You Again*
I woke up somewhere cold, and I couldn't move. I attempted to kick my feet around, but ended up scraping something metallic. I opened my eyes, and snarled and screeched loudly when I realized I was locked in a small enclosure. I couldn't even move at all. There were bars holding me down and all I could move was my tail. I glanced around and Genevieve was next to me, in an exact same enclosure I was, but bigger. She was still asleep, and I wondered if they had knocked her out again. I look to my other side, and men with guns are walking by, as if patrolling the area. I try breaking through the bars holding me down, but I fail. I couldn't get out on my own. I wondered if Lima was here too, and if the rest of my pack had escaped. I really hoped they did.
I knew Owen and Indigo were on the island. And I also knew they would do anything to get me out of here. I just hoped they'd get here in time.
I snarled when a man walked by and leaned over. It was the same guy that had the dirt and smoke scent from yesterday. I snarled and tried snapping my jaws at him, but my snout was tied down too. He chuckled, and I only growled in response.
"You're not getting out. Try all you want, and no one's coming for you. I ordered my men to kill the rest of your friends. You're all we need," he scowled. I made a low snarl at him.
This man is so much worse than Hoskins. And I'd make sure to kill this guy myself.
He chuckled again, blowing smoke in my face, but I didn't flinch away. He frowned and pointed at me before getting up and grumbling, "You're next when we finish with you."
I watched him walk away and I huffed. I had to get out of here soon, somehow. I flickered my gaze over to Genevieve, and I heard her make a low, calmed rumble before opening her eyes. I trill warmly at her and her eyes flick over to me.
'Fire.' She chitters.
'I can't get out,' I tell her, and she moves around slightly. She growls when she realizes she can't either. I flinch when she lets out a shrill roar, causing some of the people to scream in fear. Some begin shooting at her, and I screech at them to stop, while Genevieve continues to snarl.
She was panicked.
"Tranquilize her again!" Someone yells. I growl and screech, but they continue shooting. I hear faint calls for help, and I recognized the calls were Lima's. I get even more frustrated, and continue to growl.
But something stabs my side, and in a few seconds, everything had gone dark again.
Indigo's Pov
Around an hour later, we had made it back to the docks, and Claire wouldn't take her eyes off of the new velociraptors we had taken in. I was currently sitting next to Owen in the deck, while I was attempting to take Kilo's bullet out. She kept growling, but Blue was doing her best to calm her down, and I was cooing at her softly. I could tell it was soothing her, and I smiled when I realized the two feathered velociraptors were still pretty young. Blue and Fire were eight now. But so far, Blue still behaved like the spoiled raptor she was. Yet in the end, she was always a smart girl. And led a smart pack.
Kilo let out a pained whimper, but I finally got the bullet out.
"Easy Kilo," Owen whispered, running his hand over her. Blue chittered softly at her, and Juliet snuggled under Kilo's arms. I watched Barry walk up to us, handing Owen bandages.
"Is she better?" He asked.
I nodded, before saying, "I managed to get the bullet out. I just cleaned it, but hopefully her leg wasn't too infected. She should be fine in a couple of days, as long as we keep watching over her."
He nodded and kneeled down next to us, Blue nudging his hands.
"Lily!" I called, who had been talking to Claire. She looked over and shouted back, "What!?"
"Got any food with meat? I don't think they girls have eaten in awhile." I asked. She stares in thought before walking into the kitchen. A few minutes later she comes back with two bags of beef jerky. I laugh, as she hands them over. Blue almost tackled me for it when she caught the smell, but Owen pulled her back.
"Calm down Blue," he said chuckling.
Kilo and Juliet snap their heads when I open them up, and I give them each a couple slices before taking one myself. Blue glared for taking some of her meal, but I only said, "You don't scare me."
"There ya go. We'll get you three something else to eat when we find something better. You girls must be starving..." Owen said.
I finished dressing Kilo's wound, and she had finally learned to stay still after Blue's constant growling; and receiving her meal, of course. I sigh and say, "Alright Kilo. You're fine now."
She chirps in response, and I was actually relieved and surprised how well she behaved. It must've been something Blue had kept chittering to her about, but I could tell the two younglings were slowly beginning to trust Owen and I.
I shift Kilo over so I could get up, and Owen sternly yells at Blue when she attempted to nip at his vest again. I giggle when she succeeds, then pulls him over, a little too rough for his liking, and ends up falling on his side.
"Blue!" He scowled. She growled in response and shoves him over, only irritating him even more, but he only rolls his eyes at her.
He stands up and groans when Barry and Claire begin laughing, and I decide to join them.
"And here I thought you were an expert animal trainer, Owen," Lilian blurted from the top of the boat.
"Not funny!" He grumbled. We laugh even more when Juliet joins Blue, and they both cause Owen to grab on to the railing in order to keep from falling again. Kilo moves over to the comfortable seats next to the doorway that led into the kitchen, and sets her head down.
"Hey Lilian! What time is it?!" I call over. She looks over her shoulder and turns back before replying, "Almost three thirty."
I open my mouth to speak when Owen's radio crackles. He frowns and grabs it out of his belt, and clicks the button.
"Owen? Quoting Blue's actions, you may want to get moving soon. I just watched something on one of the cameras and you are not gonna like it. And neither is Indigo," Lowery said.
Owen smirked as he replies, "First off, that's not what quoting is. Two, what did you see?"
I hear Lowery mutter something before answering, "It was at the camp closest to the park, or well, what used to be the park. You know the plaza is still in ruins? No one ever bothered to go clean it or anything-"
"Lowery!" Claire yelled, walking over to Owen, and crossing her arms.
"Right! Well, its the place they're keeping Fire, Genevieve, Lima, and some other dinosaurs which I'm assuming they're going to be moving tomorrow morning when the ships arrive." He rambles.
I frown and ask, "Ships? What ships?"
"Well. I found their schedule. There's supposed to be two ships arriving tomorrow morning that are supposed to keep the big dinos. Like Genevieve and her mama."
"Her mama? Really Lowery?" Owen mocks. Lowery only laughed in response.
"Well Rexy adopted the little Indominus didn't she?"
Claire giggled, and I say, "Well. Lowery, what did you see on the cameras?"
"Well, the girls are locked down in these weird black cages where they can't even move. They were sedated, but Genevieve woke up, and freaked out and started roaring and scaring the people. Fire seemed agitated by it and began snarling and barking at them too. Basically, they were tranquilized again, and by the looks of it, the people aren't being friendly about it. If they keep it up, and end up overdosing them, your girls might not wake up." He explained.
I stared at Owen worriedly, and Lowery continues, "Similar if a person overdoses on sleeping pills, they aren't supposed to kill you, but if you take more than what you're supposed to, then—"
"Got it, thanks." I interrupt.
"There's already mire helicopters arriving near the park to take the smaller dinos..." Lowery mumbled.
I look over at Owen, who was ruffling through his hair, trying to think about what to do. I sigh, glancing over the three velociraptors currently snapping at each other playfully, Barry trying to calm Blue down, Lilian fumbling with her phone, and Claire gazing towards the island. I try to think of what to do, and I sigh.
My eyes land on Owen, and I finally say, "Alright. Let's get moving. I have a plan," I pause, looking over at the velociraptors.
"But I'm gonna need Blue to come along."
"Blue? What for?" Owen asked.
"You'll see," I reply with a smirk. He only gave me a confused expression.
"Aaaand, you're planning on leaving the other two here without her? What if they go rogue and attack?" Claire asked. Owen groaned at her for being slow, but said, "They won't. I'm sure they would've by now if they wanted to. Look at them. They're well behaved. All they need is someone to be stern with them."
Claire only scoffed at his answer, but gave a small smile at the trio currently chittering with each other. But then Juliet suddenly growled at Blue, and Barry calmly said, "Easy girl."
Juliet gave him a quiet trill before chirping at Kilo who was nuzzling her.
"Blue. Come here." Owen called, before making a sharp whistle. The three girls turn over, and I giggle when Blue made one of her adorable warbles. Owen grinned and pulled out his clicker, using it. Blue only trilled at him warmly, before running over and tackling him. Claire, Barry, Lilian and I burst out in laughter as Blue nuzzled Owen happily.
"Whoa! Calm down Blue!" Owen said in between laughs. I could only imagine how happy she was to finally be back with her Alpha.
And I knew Owen would never leave her side again.
