The Boy Who Cried Velociraptor
Dom went on his own little adventure through Main Street, tackling a few guests and making Owen and the others hunt him down before Alice destroyed the island to bring him back. Claire arrived and all was resolved. Claire was the Alpha of the island, and, just like Rexy, her presence made others silent. Let's hope nothing crazy happens now.
It was Tuesday now, and Owen and Alice were very nervous for what was going to happen today. Dom was going to meet the raptors, Owen's raptors at least. James' velociraptors had arrived early in the morning and were immediately placed inside of their new paddock, which was Alice's old paddock, but renovated. James couldn't be anymore grateful for Claire allowing him and his raptors to stay on Nublar. It was a gratitude that James would have to pay her for later. Owen was eager to see the male raptors again and decided to visit James and Sorna's raptors some time before Dom would meet the girls.
It was around closing time for the day at the park, and Ian and the others were hanging around inside of Alice's paddock. Alice welcomed Ian into her home because he was Dom's human, but she decided to let the others in because they seemed like they wouldn't cause any harm to Alice or Dom. Alice was walking around the paddock, as the teens sat around the front of the brush, in sight of the viewing room.
"Dom, promise me that you won't get killed when meeting my uncle's raptors," said Ian as he rubbed Dom's head.
Dom let out a chirp. telling Ian that he would be fine and that he had Alice to watch over him. Alice then appeared and lied down behind Ian and watched the human cradle Dom.
"Alice, make sure Dom doesn't hurt himself today, okay?" asked Ian.
Alice nodded her head and then let out a chitter, telling Ian that he had nothing to worry about. Alice was grateful that this human had the utmost of concern for Dom. Maybe, one day, when Alice wasn't around anymore, she hoped that Ian would be there to keep watching Dom.
"Alice," said Alexis as she walked over to her with her phone in her hand, "would you mind taking a selfie with me?"
Alice tilted her head at Alexis. What was a selfie? Alice blinked at Alexis at when she held up her phone and a clicking sound was heard.
"Oh boy, my friends are going to be so jealous. Besides you Olivia," said Alexis.
Olivia rolled her eyes at Alexis and then said, "Anyway, Alice, how are you holding up?"
Alice crooned at Olivia, telling her that she was doing fine and that she was excited to see Blue One and her sisters again.
"That's good," said Olivia with a smile.
Casey simply stared at Alice and Dom, admiring that he was in the presence of the most fierce predators on the planet. Alexis eyed Casey and then asked, "You gonna start hitting on Alice now Casey?"
Olivia and Ian laughed and Alice simply blinked at Alexis and watched as the teens garbled amongst each other.
"No Alexis. You know that you're still my number one girl," said Casey.
Alexis huffed air through her nostrils and then said, "Casey, I swear-"
"Alexis, relax," said Olivia.
"But, he's being a creep!"
"He's not being a creep. It's a ruse."
"A ruse?"
"Yeah."
"I'm confused."
"You mean to tell me that you have never realized that Casey is basically putting up and act?"
Alexis turned her head to Casey and then asked, "Is that true?"
"It's what's kept our friendship going, hasn't it?"
Alexis rolled her eyes and then said, "Ruse or not, he's still a creep."
Dom leapt out of Ian's arms and then jumped on top of Casey. Dom began to sniff Casey and then nuzzled his face all over Casey's. Alexis began to laugh hard and then took pictures of the matter at hand.
"Can somebody get this guy off of me please?" Casey asked.
"But, it's so cute!" said Alexis as she snapped more photos.
As Casey was getting smothered by Dom, Ian turned around and stepped up to Alice and then said, "Alice, promise me something?"
Alice turned her scarlet gaze to the boy and then wondered what his promise was.
"Promise me that, when I'm not around anymore, you'll keep looking after Dom," Ian said softly as he placed his hand on Alice's snout.
Alice was taken aback by the boy's promise. What did he mean by when he wasn't around anymore? Was he expecting to die before Alice? Was he going to leave soon? Alice gave a soft and concerned croon to the boy and then nudged him gently.
"Don't be worried about it Alice. I'm just telling you this in case if anything were to happen to me," reassured Ian.
Alice gave a firm chirp at Ian. She hoped that the both of them would be around long enough for Dom.
Owen had arrived at the Sorna raptors' new paddock and was greeted by James.
"You here to se the boys again?" James asked.
"Yeah, I want to see how they're holding up to a new territory," said Owen with a nod.
"All right. Follow me."
James led Owen over to the paddock and Owen was a bit surprised by the changes that were made to the paddock since the last time he was here. It used to be Alice's old paddock, but now it was a renovated paddock for the male raptors. The viewing room was gone, and a catwalk with railing was put in. That's about all the change that happened. The paddock was still the same size, but new trees and bushes were put in and a few streams were added for the raptors.
Owen walked out with James onto the catwalk and then looked around and asked, "Where are they?"
"They're watching us," replied James.
"What?"
Then, Silver jumped out and nearly clasped his jaw on the railing, scaring the living shit out of Owen.
"Jesus! What the hell was that about?" asked Owen as he bounced back and grabbed a hold of his fast beating heart.
James burst out laughing and soon wiped joyful tears from his eyes.
"Mís niños love to scare people!" said James as he caught his breath from all the laughter.
Owen punched James in the shoulder and said, "James, I'm going to kill you!"
"Quit being such a baby Owen."
"It's not funny. I could have had a heart attack and died!"
"Que dramatico eres muchacho."
"English James."
"You're so dramatic."
"I am not!"
"You so are."
Owen rolled his eyes and then said, in a terse tone, "Where's the rest of them?"
"Chicos! Vengan!" yelled out James.
In a matter of seconds, all of James' raptors were front and center.
"You four se recuerdan de Owen right?" he asked them.
The pack of four let out confirming chirps and stared at the human next to their Alpha.
"Well, he's here because he want's to know si a ustedes les gusta su casa nueva."
The raptors let out assuring barks. They liked their new home. It was actually bigger than the one they had on Sorna.
Well I'm glad to hear that you boys are liking your new home," said Owen with a small smile on his face.
Enrique let out a squawk and then stepped forward as the others watched him.
"Enrique, que paso mi amor?" James asked.
Enrique barked at Owen, and both him and James arched eyebrows.
"What'd he say?" Owen asked.
"Maybe it's his way of saying he likes you," responded James.
You like me Enrique?"
The raptor trilled at Owen's question and then spun a full 360 and bounced happily.
"I've never seen any of my hijos like a human so quickly," said James as he placed his hand on his chin.
"Well, maybe your raptors see that I'm the Supreme Alpha and your just the regular Alpha," Owen replied proudly.
"Don't make me laugh Grady. My boys love me as their Alpha, isn't that right chicos?"
The raptors replied with content chitters before running off to hunt for some food.
"Right. Well, it's good to see that they're loving the place," said Owen as he placed his hands on his hips.
"And it's all thanks to Claire, and Alice of course," said James as he put his hands behind his head.
"Why Alice?"
"Well, if she didn't exist, then this paddock wouldn't exist."
"Oh yeah, you're right."
"Did you need anything else Owen?"
"Yeah, I wanted to tell you that Alice is taking Dom to meet the raptors today, and I thought you might want to tag along to meet Alice, Dom, and my girls."
"I'd love to meet them!"
"Great! They're meeting in a few hours. I'll come by and pick you up in a jeep."
"Sounds like a plan. See you later Owen."
"Later James."
Owen then left the paddock to go and prep his girls for meeting the hatchling Indominus.
The time had finally come. It was time for Dom to meet Alice's old pack. Owen, Ian, and Alice were nervous. Alice was most nervous. She trusted the girls to behave around Dom and to accept him, but, Alice also knew that anything could happen. The world wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, and neither were velociraptors. Alice, though overall happy that Dom was going to meet the girls, had to remain vigilant of everything. Even of those who walked around the paddock. Some humans had kidnapped Dom before, no telling if it would happen again. Ian was worried because he didn't know how the raptors would react. Ian hadn't gotten the chance to fully interact with Owen's girls, so Ian was very weary of what was going to happen. Owen was nervous because he didn't know how his girls would react. Sure, he told them behave and not start shit, but that's never stopped them from disobeying their Alpha of course. Owen told Blue that she couldn't let anything happen to the hatchling. Blue fully understood though. She was getting the chance to see Alice again, and this time with another of her kind. It was a real feat. Blue promised Owen that she would make sure that nothing would happen to Dom, but couldn't keep her promise on the behaving part. She wasn't going to start shit, but she was going to flip out and go wild with Alice and Dom, in a fun way. She was going to have fun, and she didn't care whether Stupid Alpha cared. She was her own raptor, her own woman. She could do as she pleased.
Alice, Dom, and Owen arrived at the raptor paddock and Ian, the other teens, Ryan, Claire, Sarah, James, and Lowery were all going to watch from the catwalk above the paddock. Owen told everyone to be careful on the catwalk. One wrong move and you can fall down into the paddock. Owen didn't know whether or not his girls would act out of being wild or attack anyone, but, he also knew that his girls were crazy most of the time.
Owen told Alice to go around through he big door in the paddock while he took Dom tot he cage where they holstered the raptors and checked them up close. Owen entered the caged room and Dom trotted in and let out a chirp, alerting the raptors that there was an intruder in their midst. Blue and the others rushed to the iron bars and saw the small hybrid standing there. Dom backed up and stood behind Owen's leg, because he got a little scared of the big creatures that showed up.
"Girls, I brought over some friends to meet you," said Owen as he looked down at the small Indominus that latched his hands to Owen's pants, Please, behave and don't do anything stupid. That means you Blue."
Blue snarled at the Alpha for pointing her out. She wouldn't do anything of the sort, especially with guests!
Alice entered the paddock and got onto all fours and walked over to the cage. She let out a croon, making the raptors turn around and bounce around in excitement. They were super excited to see Alice again! The three raptors let out barks and chitters while gathering around the Indominus. Alice told the girls that the little one with Alpha was her younger sibling. With that, Blue gave a bark, telling Alice that he was welcome into their home.
Dom heard the affirming bark and then slowly walked toward the iron bars. Owen opened the gate and watched as Dom slowly trotted in. The raptors then flocked over to the little one and began to sniff him all over. Dom couldn't handle all this attention. He had never been surrounded by so many girls before. Dom wriggled out of the frenzy and then ran over to Alice and hid behind Alice's leg. Alice looked down and then chittered at the hatchling, telling him that the girls were her friends and that they would do him no harm. He was safe here, she assured him of that. The Indominus hatchling proceeded from behind his big sister's leg and walked out in front of her. Alice crooned at the raptors, telling them to be gentle around him. They were new to him, so she didn't want them to scare him. The raptors understood Alice's wishes and then Blue slowly stepped up to Dom. The Beta raptor lowered her head and sniffed the hatchling. She could smell Alpha on him, and a few others, but this little one didn't pose any kind of threat. Blue then stepped back and chirped at Delta and Echo, telling them that he was clean. With that, the other two raptors then invited Dom to run around with them to hunt. Dom barked happily and then followed the girls into the brush. Alice stayed behind and then sat down on her haunches, with her head being next to the catwalk, where everyone was watching from.
James and Owen were now standing next to Alice from the catwalk. James was amazed by the Indominus and just stood there, staring at her, with his mouth wide open.
"James, meet Alice the Indominus Rex," said Owen as he patted the snow white scales.
Alice turned her head and saw Owen and a man standing next to him, with his mouth open. Was this human hungry or something?
"Alice, this is James. He's an old friend of mine, from the Navy," said Owen as he patted James on his back.
Alice gave a warm croon at the man, greeting him.
James continued to stare at Alice, and then said, "Hola Alice."
"James, will you stop giving Alice creeper eyes?" asked Owen.
James closed his mouth and blinked a few times before saying, "Sorry, it's just, ella es tan hermosa."
"Alice doesn't understand Spanish James."
"Oh, but she will now."
"What?"
"I'll teach Alice Spanish, that way we can make fun of you with you even knowing what we're saying."
"No, don't do that James. You know I hate it when you do that."
"That's why it's so fun."
Ian turned his head to see Owen and James talking as he moved his head closer to his mom and said, "Is that...James?"
Sarah turned her head and then said with excitement, "It is James!"
Ryan then turned his head and then yelled out, "James!"
James turned his head and then smiled widely at seeing the rest of the Grady family. They flocked over to him and greeted him. Claire arched an eyebrow and walked over to Owen and asked, "All of you family knows James?"
"Yeah, we were actually buddies a bit before the Navy, he met Sarah and Ryan during that time. He met Ian while I was down here. They love him."
"I can see that."
As James was catching up with the Grady family, Alice watched as Dom and the girls came out of the brush, and Dom plopped onto the ground next to Alice, catching his breath. Alice wished she could laugh, because if she could, she would be dying of it right now. This was the first time that she had ever seen the hatchling so tired. Even with all the running around that he does in their paddock, Dom never seemed to get tired, but it seemed like the raptors were just the trick. Now Alice knew where to take Dom if he was restless at night instead of sleeping.
Alice lowered her head and lightly nudged her younger sibling, who responded by giving a tired croon. Alice chittered at Blue and her sisters, asking them what they did. They said that all they did was run around, and it had only been a few minutes. They said that they were surprised that the little one was able to keep up with them. That meant that when Dom was a bit bigger, about the size of a velociraptor, he'd be as fast as a velociraptor, until he grew up to be Alice's colossal size one day.
Alice smiled as she then asked the girls if they had any food to give to the hatchling. They told her that maybe Alpha might have something to give the small hybrid. Alice turned her head and chittered at Owen.
"What is it Alice?" Owen asked.
Alice looked at Lowery, who then grabbed the laminated letters and then placed them onto the floor of the catwalk. Alice stood up tall and reached out with her hands and rearranged the letters. Lowery had printed two more sets of letters so that Alice could fully spell any words that she could.
'Food for Dom'
"Oh, well, yeah. I think I got a few dead mice in a bucket," replied Owen.
Owen walked over to the edge of the catwalk and asked Barry if there were any dead mice left. Barry handed the man the bucket and there were a few dead mice left. Owen carried the bucket over and grabbed one and held it out.
"Dom?" Owen asked.
Dom did his best to look up at Owen, who was holding food in his hand. Dom perked up and stared at Owen.
"This is for you big guy," said Owen as he tossed the dead mouse onto the ground.
Dom rushed over to the food and devoured it in a few seconds. Owen then tossed a few more mice, and Dom continued to feast.
Alice smiled, the raptors welcomed Dom into their home, and they were a good remedy to get him tired if he was restless during nights. She was happy that everything was going so well. Maybe, and hopefully, it'll go well when Dom meets Rexy and Felix and Silas.
Dom met the raptors today, and Alice couldn't be more happy that he had a good time and that they welcomed him with open arms, or claws. Al that's left is to watch how Dom meets the other dinosaurs right?
