"Pants"
Blue and Delta were running as fast as they could, hoping the Tyrannosaur would stop chasing them. They had made a foolish mistake of angering her, but at least Alpha was safe. That was all that mattered.
Stern One let out another deafening roar, but it was a roar of defeat. She had given up the chase. Blue and Delta stopped to catch their breath when White One came out of the trees. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head as she looked at the pair.
"B…Blue?" White One stammered.
She was dumbstruck. White One had known she had killed Blue, but to see her alive, it troubled her deeply.
Dead things just didn't come back. They stayed dead.
"How are you here? I must be dreaming," The Indominus said as she sat down on her haunches.
"That doesn't matter now, White One, but what does is that our Alpha is back!" Blue chirped happily.
White One thought about this before saying, "I thought I was your Alpha again. Wait, you mean the human Alpha? How can he be here, the humans left, they…"
Then the Indominus went quiet. For now she knew how the humans had gotten here.
In the flying machines she had hid from earlier.
She didn't feel comfortable with those humans here on this island. They would hunt her down like they did before, and they may actually be able to kill her this time. But then she thought back to when she had been grabbed by the Swimming One. She presumed the humans thought she was dead.
She would use that to her advantage.
Her mind was already clicking; forming plans to get rid of the humans.
He was leaning against the cool wall of a building, listening to the thundering footsteps fade into the distance. He shouldn't have run, but he had panicked. He thought the Old Lady had been further away, but she had been too close and had caught up to him far too easily.
Owen moaned again as the searing pain of the wound rippled through him.
"Stop moving, I need to tighten the tourniquet," Claire said firmly as she tightened the belt up another hole.
"Man, this hurts like a bitch," Owen complained as he winced from the pain.
"Well, if you hadn't been such an idiot and tried to run from a T. Rex, then you would still be fine. So shut up while I stop the bleeding," Claire scolded as she wrapped the wound with her white sweater.
Not two minutes after she had placed the clothing over the gash, a large, deep crimson splotch was forming. Owen had been running from Rexy, and he had almost reached Main Street, when she had somehow managed to snag his arm and lift him off the ground a few feet.
If Claire hadn't lit the flare, Owen's arm would have been in worse condition or not even there. After Claire had lit the flare, Rexy dropped Owen to bellow at the red fire before she turned her attention to Blue and Delta. Claire had dragged his sorry butt behind the closest building, and out of view of the large carnivore.
"Lowery, Owen is hurt pretty badly; we need to be picked up and brought back to Control."
There was a brief pause before the radio crackled, "Don't worry, Claire, ACU is on its way to pick you guys up," Lowery said as Claire heard the rumbling of an engine to a Mobile Vet Unit. Basically, it was a supped up version of an ambulance, but for dinosaurs.
She just hoped it would get here before the smell of blood drew in any, unsavory characters; carnivorous dinosaurs looking for an easy meal.
Her vision blurred as the world around her changed into shades of blue and black. But there were the occasional orange and red hues that corresponded with the presence of warm blooded critters. She glanced around the surrounding jungle. She saw nothing of interest until she was facing towards the sun.
That was when she saw two orange figures near a building.
In her memory, only one creature had a shape like that.
They were humans.
Her vision restored to so she could see the colors around her.
She slowly began to make her way towards the humans, taking care to not make a sound as she walked along.
Halting within a few strides of a distance from the humans, she melted into the foliage as her skin turned color to match her surroundings. She watched the humans critically, judging whether she should gobble them up or send them shrieking in terror.
There were pros and cons to both options.
If she ate them, the humans may know she was here, and hunt her down. But if she did, then that would be two less humans she would have to worry about.
If she sent them running in terror, they would know she was alive, and try to hunt her down. But if she didn't then she would still have the element of surprise. She thought about it a little longer before the sweet scent of blood reached her sensitive nose.
Looking closer, she realized the male was wounded and bleeding.
That would make him easier to catch.
Lowery watched as the M.V.U was coming closer to Claire and Owen's location. He switched to a camera to look at Owen and Claire, to see how they were fairing. Owen was leaning against a building, and the makeshift bandage was beginning to seep through with blood. Claire was pacing slightly, waiting for the ambulance to arrive. Lowery glanced towards the jungle to see if any danger was coming.
All seemed fine.
Yet, something wasn't right.
The foliage was normal but something was wrong. Lowery glanced closer as two crimson eyes open and closed. It was only a few seconds, but Lowery was sure he hadn't imagined it. Looking closer, he began to make out the shape of a large animal hiding in plain view.
He could only think of one animal that was able to camouflage and be that big.
Lowery reached forward and picked up the radio. His hand was beginning to sweat, and he was trembling all over. He thumbed the radio on before he squeaked, "Cl-Cl-Claire, you need to get out of there, the Indominus is right in front of you!"
There was a pause before the radio crackled back, "-at was –hat? The –at is –n front –f us?"
"The Indominus is right there in front of you!" Lowery shouted, hoping the message wouldn't be a garbled mess.
"Th- Indo- is? No Lowery, -ou -re –istaken, -e is –ead,"
"No I am not, pull out your phone, I am sending thermal readings to it,"
He tapped a few buttons before an infrared image was sent to Claire's phone. Lowery watched as Claire picked up her phone before gasping, "Oh –it!"
That was when the massive head of the Indominus emerged out of the jungle.
All Lowery could do was watch in horror as Owen and Claire began to run for their lives with the hybrid chasing them.
"Go, go, go, go!" Owen shouted as he pushed Claire along ahead of him, trying to keep out of the reach of the Indominus. They rounded the corner on Main Street and continued to run as fast as they could towards the Innovation Center.
The Indominus let out a shrieking roar as she crushed the bones of the fallen Spinosaurus skeleton beneath her feet.
Owen and Claire had nearly reached the heavy doors that lead to the Innovation Center before flinging the doors wide. Owen was about to follow Claire in when his belt was snagged by the long talon of the Indominus.
"Help!" Owen cried out as he was slowly dragged towards the dinosaur.
Claire ran forward and started to hit the long talon in vain. As a last resort, Owen struggled to unbuckle his belt before succeeding.
Now all the Indominus had was a belt.
Plus Owen's pants.
