Epilogue: Safe at last
"Blue?" the sweet voice said, again, and the raptor opens her eyes. Who she saw surprised her. The beautiful face of Aurora stares at the raptor and she laughs with joy.
'Aurora!' Blue screeches and stands up on her injured legs, only they didn't hurt anymore. The injuries she had sustained were gone, she felt no pain, and she looks around.
The place was awfully white and nothing else. Blue decided to forget that and screeches in excitement and Aurora embraces the raptor's head. Aurora then plasters Blue's nuzzle and head with kisses and Blue licks her face.
'You're alive?!' Blue chirps at her. She did look to be in full flesh and blood.
Aurora shakes her head, "We are no longer in that world where we can get hurt," she said and Blue notices Delta, Echo, and Charlie coming over to join them.
They screech in greeting and nuzzle against Aurora, their alpha.
"Who's ready to go home?" Aurora asks them, but they gives looks of confusion. Aurora has them follow her into a dark cave.
It only took a minute for them to see the light at the other end and they emerge from the darkness to a wonderful sight. Everywhere they look, there were hills, meadows, and pools of shiny, blue water. The sun shines high above, illuminating this new world.
Numerous dinosaurs occupy the pools and others eat from the tops of trees and the grass. There were plenty of herbivores for the raptors to hunt and they chirp at Aurora and she points. To the raptors' surprise, there were even carnivores among the prey, but they did not pursue them or eat them.
"This is what I envisioned, this is a safe place where we are not owned or subjected to experiments," she said to her pack and they follow her down from the mouth of the cave.
Charlie was the first to chirp, 'Who wants to go swimming?!'
In a flash, Charlie sprints down the hill and Echo screeches, 'No fair! You had a head start!'
The three raptors jump into the cool water of the pool, but Blue and Aurora stay at the shore.
"Blue, when you forgave Owen, you've earned your place here, much like Delta, Charlie, and Echo. You also admitted your fault in not protecting me, but I forgave you the moment I died beside you," Aurora said to Blue.
Then, Blue pushes Aurora into the water with her muzzle. Aurora looks at Blue, shocked at what she just did. Blue then begins to chirp, but it sounded like she was laughing.
The five of them play in the cool water, they were happy to be together, again.
They get out and the raptors shake their bodies dry. They knew that no one owns them here and they finally free to roam.
Blue chirps at her pack mates, 'Let's go hunting, sisters.'
It was then that a pig squeals and runs by. Blue lowers her body down for Aurora and she gets on her back.
The four raptors trot away and go into the jungle, just as a pair of pterosaurs flew overhead.
The End
From the author: Cue the JP theme music! It is done!
What did you think?! If anyone has a request involving Blue and my OC, I would be happy to create another story, as long as it takes place in the afterlife.
