The loud explosion distorted her sense of hearing and made her head ache. She pushed away the pain because it wasn't debilitating and not serious. Owen was out there though. Owen with his fragile human body that was too small for the containment of his mind. Her alpha was out there and there was a chance he could be hurt.
She shook her head once, to clear it, got to her feet from where the blast had tossed her and then took visual stock of the rest of the pack. They're were unharmed. Half-a second later her alpha's voice flooded through her mind.
Are you okay? Are you hurt.
His thoughts were frantic with fear for their safety. He sought them out individually even as she reassured him.
We're here. We are un-hurt, save for the noise.
Her inner ear was still disturbed.
She ran forward to meet Owen and then stopped dead as a blank wall snapped over her bond with Owen. For a moment, Blue thought that he was dead. Then she registered his screams and ran forward toward the hole that had once been the gate.
Owen was crumpled in the entrance, writhing, his eyes rolling back.
"Grady!" A human voice called. The Intern. She stumbled over but rocked back in shock and fear when Blue hissed at her protectively over Owen.
The only thing that stopped her from killing the girl was the worried tone in her voice and the fact that she'd tried to stop the intruder.
The girl raised her hands up and retreated some distance away. Then she reached for her pocket. Blue hissed at her as the rest of the pack came out and surrounded him.
"I'm calling medical," she said to them. "And security, although they already should be on their way. Please, let me call." Her eyes were wide and frightened but she was calm.
Blue looked at her and then gave a slow nod. Kavita reached for her phone and when she had dialed, Charlie and Delta snorted at Blue.
Are we going to let him stay alive? Charlie asked with respect to the prey that had blasted open their paddock and hurt their alpha.
No.
They were off a moment later and Blue turned her attention to Kavita who was talking to someone from Medical.
She lifted the phone from her ear, covered the mouth piece and said, "They want me to check on his condition, see if he is bleeding anywhere and the size of his pupils."
Blue considered and then deliberately stepped back. Kavita was over in a second and she only flinched a little when Echo stepped behind her, a silent, formidable threat.
She laid the phone down on the ground, turned on the speaker enough for Blue to hear Short-Doctor-Anika on the phone giving instructions and queries. She blew her breath harshly in the direction of the phone and the doctor's voice cut of startled and then continued again.
Intern quickly patted Owen down, looking for broken bits, though Blue could tell her that there was no blood. Intern had a cut over her right eye. Intern checked her alpha's pupils and then then said to Doctor.
"His pupils are blown. He's in a lot of pain. Shit! They've narrowed to pinpoints! When is a medic getting here? He's in bad shape."
A loud scream pierced the air. Intruder was dead. Blue felt a vicious satisfaction. Intern had spun to her feet and was staring at where Delta and Charlie were.
"Um security doesn't have to worry about the guy who did this anymore." She swallowed hard and then dropped back down to check on Owen.
"Are the raptors loose?" Doctor asked.
"Yes," Intern replied. She was strained. She smelt of stress and adrenaline and tension."You might want to alert security."
"Are you alright?" Doctor asked.
"Freaking fine," Intern said, her harsh breaths giving away her fear.
"Is Owen aware of you at all?"
"Owen! Owen!" Intern called. Blue bent her head next to him but Owen didn't respond to Intern's calls.
Blue reached for him through the bond but came up short. It frightened her more than she expected, not being able to touch him. She could barely feel her own sisters. Owen had been their link and it was startling, and grating to be disconnected so. It felt like a vulnerability, a wound.
Blue reached for Owen again and touched something else, just for a second. The blank wall wasn't so blank. It shifted and moved, thoughts, feelings, behind it. Instinct behind it.
It wasn't human.
It was something else. Something had done this.
Blue remembered the Indominus. She had tried to get into their bond. She had tried to take their alpha. And she had wanted him dead.
This, this thing, whatever it was, was the opposite of a bond but it had one thing in common. Some other creature had made this. The pack could do something about that.
She bent down and nuzzled Owen gently.
We will be back, she told him, we will be back. But first we have to stop whatever is doing this. This island is ours. Ours! And you are ours. They will not be allowed to hurt you any longer.
Ours! agreed her sisters.
They each nuzzled their downed alpha and then Blue barked a command and they were off, following the tension of the blank wall that separated them from their alpha. A wall they were going to tear down, limb by limb.
Claire Dearing was in the control room staring at the screens as the park went into a world of chaos for a second time around. Trainers all around the park had just fallen to the ground screaming in pain before they blacked out.
It didn't take a genius to put together the pieces when the victims were only the preternaturally talented. Zack too had been carted to medical although he had mostly a really terrible migraine.
Reggie, Josh and Nancy were all the worst hit. Nancy had been just about to give another show, had been up on the platform, when it's happened. She fallen into the enclosure. The entire crowd had been sure she'd been eaten. M had trashed and flipped and made terrible sub-vocal noises that had none the less shaken the entire arena. But despite her ferocious actions, she had surfaced with Nancy on top of her head.
The crowd had cheered even as the rest of the trainers tried to figure out a way to get Nancy safely from M. It hadn't been easy but the mosasaur had eventually let them have her precious burden.
The entire brachiosaurus herd was agitated and were all trumpeting loudly. Becky had stood next to the walkway in the Walk Among the Giants and refused to let anyone through. It had taken the medical team some twenty minutes to retrieve him and brachiosaurs were worse than ever with him gone.
The T-rex enclosure was shut down for the foreseeable future. That was all that needed to be said.
And to top it all off, some flicking idiot, had thrown a flicking grenade in the raptor enclosure. No one knew how he'd managed to get there or how he'd snuck in a grenade into the park. Carter was heading to the park along with a unit of his men. She would have preferred him here but she knew that the pack knew him and trusted him.
He was the best bet to get the medics safely to Owen and back. That the pack was still obeying Owen was a relief. The intern present had made a call to medical and had clearly not been eaten, even though Carter told her the culprit had been.
She really, really hoped that whatever it was that Owen had done, he could fix it. She wanted to be angry at him but she was too worried to do so. She also really, really hoped that this was something Owen had done, because if it wasn't they were in serious trouble.
"Ms. Dearing!" She turned to see Carter's surveillance guy, Lorenzo.
"What is it?" she asked, an unreasonable fear beating in her throat.
"Those cameras Owen installed in the restricted area? Some of them aren't working anymore. A lot of them aren't working any more and more of them are going down."
Claire froze. "What?"
"Someone is taking out the cameras, "Lorenzo said. "I can't see what the cameras are seeing since those go to the locked server but I put in a warning flag if more than 5 of them went down. Eight are down the last time I checked."
Claire stared at him a moment more as she worked out how to deal with the new facet of the problem and then flipped open her phone.
"Carter, someone may be trying to come in through the restricted area."
She heard a muffled curse. "Alright," he said, "I'll talk to Hamada, now."
She hung up and stared at the screens and then said. "Initiate emergency protocols now. Get everyone in the safe spaces. If this turns into something more, I don't want us to lose anyone again."
Okay guys I would really like feedback on this chapter especially Blue's part.
