Chapter 11
Matt POV
Last night was a disaster, not only did we lose, but we lost everything. Our camp, our ammunition, our men. I could hardly sleep, not with what had just happened. Oreck may have saved us by delaying them, but I fear that more will come. I soon got up to know this place that we are taking shelter.
I soon noticed that both James and Daniels were gone, like that they had deserted me. I quickly looked around trying to find them. I then without thinking started heading outside into the long grass. It wasn't until I see Daniels torn to pieces, and then started to hear James screaming "HEEEELP, AHHHHHHHH!"
I raced over getting my knife ready, I soon found him all clawed up but still alive.
"You alright?" I asked.
He soon slapped my head and shouted "Get away from me! You let us here, allowing them to kill us all."
"I…I just…you right but we need to stay together if we're going to survive."
But, as soon as I said that his face was in terror and was pointing that something was behind me. I turned around to see three raptors right behind me.
"Clever girls." Was all I said before they pounced on us and started tearing me up.
"AAAHHHHHHHHH!" was all I shouted before realizing that it was all a dream. I quickly looked around to see that both James and Cory were still here alive. A tear started to form and I started to cry a bit. I know a soldier must be tough and strong. But after what happened last night, it's like we lost ourselves.
The morning soon came and I was the first to get up do to the fact that I had barely slept. I decided to look around, maybe find something eatable and enough for the three of us. It was a long search, and it was a waste of time. Until, I soon saw something, there was a spear on the ground. It was like someone was living here, but there wasn't one but three of them.
"Carlos?!" was all I said to myself.
Looking around I soon see human tracks that look like a thirteen-year-old. Then, what I found caused me to worry really bad. Carlos' clothes were all torn up, like something got him. It didn't take me long to figure out what did this to him, for there were raptor tracks everywhere. However, what didn't make sense was that if these are Carlos clothes all torn up, where's the blood and more importantly, where's the body?
The rest of the men soon got up with the same thing on their minds. And that's to find food, luckily Cory had found a vending machine behind some debris. How the hell did I miss that is beyond me.
"How you are feeling?" asked James to Daniels.
"Gee I feel great." said sarcastically "You know after losing almost all thirty of the men, all of our food and our stuff are back at the CAMP SITE THATE WE WERE ATTACK BY A HUGE GROUP OF LIZARDS!"
"Actually, I think their birds. Like birds that are design to kill and…"
"Those…" I interrupted getting both of their attention "those are Velociraptors. Well, igens genetic Velociraptors. The actually ones wouldn't be as intimidating."
"What are you saying?" asked Daniels.
"I'm saying that ingen has found a way to clone dinosaurs with the amber that they "found" and mix it with some frog DNA. Some stayed the same others had some changes like the raptors that we just saw."
"How do you know this if you don't mind me asking?" said James.
"My…" I just signed and had to admit it "Both my uncle and my father worked at the old Jurassic Park."
"Oh, like the one that is under construction?"
"Well sort of, only that looks like they are taking precautions. Back then, I think Hammond took the "Spare no expense" I little too far."
"You knew this…you about this the whole time!?" shouted Daniels only to have James tackle him.
"I knew about Isla Sorna but not this island. If I did I would've have been more prepared."
"I'll kill you for this, Oreck was my best friend! And this was all for nothing, we don't even know if you so called cousin is alive!"
James kept him down for a moment until he calmed down and after letting him go just goes somewhere to punch something. I don't blame him, he has every right to be made and after losing a friend to them, I guess that would have messed with my mind. James got all the food out of the vending machine to figure out how long would it last.
"Judging from the looks of it, for what we have this is enough to last for about five weeks."
"Five weeks?" questioned Daniels " I hate to break it to you pale but we aren't going to last five fucking minutes here with those things around. We have no guns, nothing to fight with."
"Well we got our combat knives." Said James pulling one of them out of his pockets.
"Oh, woopy de fucking doo, our team got shredded. SHREDDED I TELL YOU!"
I couldn't stand it anymore, I grabbed him and the slapped him in the face hard causing a red hand print on his left cheek.
"You done?" was all I said before letting go of him.
"If you don't mind Matt? How intelligent are these Vel…"
"Velociraptors?" I corrected him.
"Yeah? Velociraptors."
I just signed and answered, "From what my father says they are highly intelligent and highly dangerous to deal with"
"Tell us something that we don't know." Said Daniels slightly annoyed.
I just rolled my eyes and continued, "they rely on pack hunting, were there's one there's more. The ones in books are nothing like those here. Like I said these Velociraptors had change thanks to genetics. There stronger, faster, smarter, and nothing to mess with. The only way to win is to out-think them and be faster."
"Oh, and how are we going to do that, face it were fucked."
"I don't know? I would ask Dr. Grant, Dr. Malcom, etc. but there not here so unless you got any bright ideas then shut the hell up."
I soon found a map of this area including were we are and started to get a plan together.
"Alright, the first thing we need to do is get the power back on, you think you can do that Cory?"
"Yeah I guess." Answered Daniels.
"This is no I guess, this is Do or Die."
"It'll take me a few days to get it up and running but other than that I can do that."
"Good, James you're our only medical man and knows how to set up traps. Get this area secure so that nothing can get in and if so…make so they do get out."
"You can count on…wait what about you?"
The two of them stared at me and I answered "I'm going back there to get more supplies. If I don't make it, you know what to do."
"Cry like a baby? Or commit suicide" answered Daniels.
I just rolled my eyes before heading out but James soon followed and said, "Please be careful Sargent."
I just smiled "Keep Daniels safe and make sure place is nice and secured. I'll be back…maybe."
"And we'll be here…maybe." Was all he said as I left the only "safe" place.
Takeshi POV
We soon came out of the back and honestly, there wasn't much room but it was something. Gosh, I think Alkane had a hard time sleeping through the night. And that's saying something at least from my standers. She soon got out and something was a little odd about her, and that is that her stomach was a little bulge but not to noticeable. It may have been the food we ate, gosh that was a bad idea eating something that was expired. At least it was better than nothing for the night.
"Morning, did my Little Flower sleep find last night?"
She just giggled and responded, "Sort of but nothing too bad, how about you "Big One."
I just lick her snout to give her my answer and we just locked up for a moment. We soon broke up our kiss when I started to hear the front door open. The two of us walked and then hid under some tall grass.
"You alright?" I asked after noticing that Alkane was having trouble.
"Yeah, I'm good." Was her answer.
Continued to listen and I could see Matt and one of the survivors which was a huge relief for me that at least they made it out.
We soon hear the man say, "And we'll be here…maybe."
"Let's follow him."
"What?" was all she said, "I think it's better if we go and tell Razor about this."
"Come on, this is my only chance to make sure he makes it alright. Plus, that back maybe back and they need all the help they can get."
"Um yeah with me being a bit slow, your lack of experience, and three humans who could barely hold on their life."
"Let me remind you that they probably lost a whole bunch as well so I have doubt they would come back."
She just shook her head knowing that I had a good point and asked, "Why do I put off with this?"
"Because I am your favorite strong, intelligent and attractive mate."
She just rolled her eyes and says, "The intelligent and attractive yes, but strong, yeah right, I beat you every time."
"Come on" I argued "I did want to hurt your beauty."
"Yeah, sure you were."
I just rolled my eyes as we continued following until I started to smell something, like either my nose was just playing with me or. Then I just realized that where Matt was heading to.
"We got to hurry!"
"What wrong?" asked Alkane trying to keep up.
"I have a feeling that Matt is heading for a death trap."
