So yes...I am back to finally get back into updating my stories. I want to apologize for the time it took me to update, as it was much later than I had ever intended.

I would like to thank my readers for their support and patience. The reviews are very helpful and encouraging, and seeing them has made me very happy. :) One of you mentioned an idea for a fanfic of "Rexy"; everyone's favorite T-Rex. I would like to say that it would indeed be something I would like to write, but most likely after I am finished with my current fanfiction.

In this chapter, I have introduced some of the OC raptors that will be included into the story. Credit is due, so I happily present to you the names of readers who were nice enough to help me by adding their ocs. :3 Thank you all.

1: CoolGoblin14's OC "Tango" (described as a grey female with deep green spots)

2: SentaiFan95's OC "Alden" (described as male elder Albino)

3: moonlitepassion's OC "Shadow" (described as jet black female with blood red stripes)

4: BoraKryuHuntress' OC "Hook" (described as brown elder male with burgundy stripes and missing right death claw.)

My OC "Kilo" or "Black scarred one" (described as high ranking black male with scar over left eye)

These are only some of the ocs. So in the next chapter or so when I add the remainders in I will credit their rightful owners.

I hope that this chapter was enjoyable and the OC intro was alright as I struggled to fit many in one intro at once.

Anyways. Thank you all again!

"Jurassic World: Why So Blue?"

Chapter 6

"Raptors Land"


Blue's POV


It was so daunting at first. Very daunting.

The new world that Alpha had brought her to was so new and unfamiliar. Blue didn't like the feeling of concern in her gut.

They had agreed to begin after a point of direction was made; when Alpha had pulled a loud crinkly paper from the bag on his back. He called it a "map" and Blue studied it from over his shoulder, but the lines and pictures interested her for only a moment before her attention was captured by more scents and sounds radiating from the forest before them.

It was like a toddler standing at the gates of an amusement park; the smell of food and sights of carnival games pleasing to the senses, kiddy rides starting a spurt of excitement...then the sudden and unexpected roar of an overhead roller coaster with the screams of its passengers passing by. By then, the toddler was back with its mother ranting on that everything was a bad idea and they needed to go home.

This was Blue.

Looking up at the island the raptor's nostrils widened as she took in the flow of endless scents. Birds, jungle animals, fresh water streams, and a multitude of other dinosaurs. Some she recognized as creatures familiar to what she knew from her Isla Nublar home, and once she growled at the hint of a Tyrannosaur. But half of the smells she detected were entirely foreign.

They smelled like the dinosaurs she was used to from her old home, yet they were different, and she couldn't figure out why.

Hearing movement from behind Blue turned to see Alpha and Barry walking towards the trees. As Alpha passed her she gave him a soft churr and a look to express her skepticism, but he simply lifted a hand and gestured to the forest with a nod.

"We'll be fine. Just one foot after the other, Blue."

She snorted to the calm tone in his reply, and as he slipped into the ferns

her face went blank. She either went in with them or she'd be left behind on the beach. She wasn't about to let Alpha leave her behind again.

Thrashing her tail about in a fit of anticipation, Blue reached one leg foreword. Step after step she walked and entered the forest of this new world.

A few long strides brought her back to Owen's side, where she gazed about with alert golden eyes. Her body went rigid, and her talons extended until they scraped softly against the dead foliage scattered across the ground.

The environment wasn't all that different from Isla Nublar. The air was humid and the plants were an explosion of bright green again the eyes. Jungle birds chattered above; combining their movement and the slight wind to take the tree branches into a soft sway.

Lifting her legs high Blue growled and lowered her head as her eyes shot to every shadow and noise. Her lungs expanded in long breaths as she constantly tested the air for scents of danger. Still she was confused by the smells that barraged her.

Flinching slightly when a bird swooped overhead, Blue heard Alpha chuckle, then once again he looked at his "map".

He nodded as she walked a few steps ahead and paused to survey their perimeter. Slowly her talons lifted from the ground, and the look of concern in her eyes shifted to slight curiosity. Nothing had happened to them yet.

Owen pointed to his paper, "There's a worker's village to the north of us about 2 miles inland...we should be able to find shelter there until the helicopter comes back."

Barry nodded, "There should be a natural fresh water supply nearby as well."

Blue heard them speak, but unable to fully understand them she snorted and clicked her teeth together. How were they so relaxed in such a foreign territory? All the odd scents she could smell were putting her on edge, and she was distraught by Owen's lack of similar reaction.

The raptor tilted her head and snorted. He brought her here...he caused her uncertainty and threw all these Confusions at her. Why was he not on alert with her to assure their safety?

She was strong...she was a raptor and Alpha's Beta...but they were not invincible. Survival did not depend solely on strength and confidence. It often required the skill to detect danger and know when it was time to flee.

If her sisters had been there with them...she wouldn't be so concerned.

Releasing an impatient growl, Blue scraped a foot over the ground and bobbed her head to Alpha. He didn't respond for a moment, then he finally lifted his head.

He stared at her, and Blue hissed with a flash of teeth before flipping her head back in the direction of the trail. They needed to keep moving as to remain undetected by rival carnivores.

But, to her utter shock, the human shook his head. Mumbling something he then looked down at at the map he held and said something to Barry. They hadn't chosen a path to follow to get to the village yet.

Blue released a sharp breath and reeled her head back. The nerve of him! How dare he ignore her now!

Making a grumble of her own the raptor snarled, and when Alpha shrugged it off, she stepped foreword and snapped her jaws. He didn't react.

Groaning and letting her tail fall in defeat Blue snorted. She would have challenged him further...but memories of past such moments were filled with him getting the upper hand of her and making her back down. He was Alpha for a reason.

Frustrated, Blue let her eyes drift to the foliage surrounding her, as if she expected some danger to come leaping out for her throat. The ferns hid nothing that she could sense...that is until she caught sight of a massive fallen log resting amongst the green.

It would have been a simple observation in other situations, but at the sight of it Blue lifted her head and crooned sharply. A perch; a place higher than the ground to keep watch.

Glancing back at Owen and growling, the raptor moved foreword. Legs bundling up like springs she crouched, then releasing she launched herself up towards the top of the log. It was tall, but an easy task for her.

Talons ripping through the rotten wood, Blue gathered her balance and puffed out her chest as she stood up tall on the log. To her disgust it only earned a glance from Owen. The nerve of him...to find her after all this time, to shoot her, and move her to a strange land and just ignore her.

Golden eyes dark Blue turned to begin scouting the forest around them. She could see so much more from her perch, and walking down it like a cat on a fence line she took in heavy breaths. If she saw or heard anything, she was going to grab Owen by the scruff of his neck and drag him to safety. She didn't care if he was Alpha.

Moments, turned to minutes as Owen and Barry continued to search the map for a quick route to their planned shelter. It was old and outdated...so recognizing an easy trail to follow was hard.

Currently they stood in the middle of a flat landed forest; with a beach blocking their back, and a range of hills and ridges between them and the village. The map said there was a way through at some point...but determining where was the hard part.

Sitting crouched on her log perch Blue huffed and watched the two humans with a sour gaze. She could have led them to a safe place and back by now.

The raptor's quick mind was restless, and her thoughts were plagued with the growing need for food. Her hunger had not been satisfied for quite some time...but in this new place she was not quite prepared to go out and hunt. She could sense the life on the island and the opportunities for survival it would bring, but still she was hesitant. Her thoughts were so heavy, that it took her a moment to realize they were being watched.

She first felt it's gaze, then heard the rustle of the bushes. Never before had she reacted so quickly.

Standing and spinning all in one movement, Blue's lips curled back and a sharp snarl erupted from her gut. Her tail rose and her head lowered into defensive position as her golden eyes fixed like flames on the ferns close to her log. It wasn't huge...but out here she wasn't sure what was hunter and what was prey.

To her glee however, Owen finally looked up from his map and shifted his attention on her.

About time.

Hissing Blue thrashed her tail as the bushes continued to rustle. It grew louder, and small chirps wavered out as well as light growls. What was it?

Suddenly, a flash of green jumped free of the bushes onto the log Blue stood upon. A long slender neck and tail whipped about as small needle teeth snapped closed. Beady yellow eyes glared up at her, and a sharp shriek caused the raptor to hiss and stumble back in surprise. Her feet slipped on the mossy wood, and she fell from her perch with a crash on the ground.

Laying on her back Blue groaned and stared up at the canopy as the breath went back into her lungs, before hearing a loud burst of human laughter. She blinked, and looking up she gazed with disbelief at the sight of Alpha. He had pulled his gun, but after Blue's fall he was now leaning foreword with flashing teeth and bright eyes.

Blue had linked the sound with the humans' feeling of amusement long ago, and eyes slitting she bared her teeth in a scolding snort to her Alpha. It wasn't funny at all.

As she laid there, a sharp cry again sounded from above and Blue's gaze shot back to the

log. She rolled; getting her feet underneath herself before lurching to a stand. Alpha continued to laugh, which bruised her pride.

What was worse, was when she turned her attention back to the creature that had lunged at her.

It was much smaller than she was led to believe...maybe only 10 inches tall. It had mottled green scales and stood upright on its hind legs like herself, but it's neck was thin and it's arms folded up against its chest tightly. It stared up at her with beady eyes and snapped its little jaw closed. She had been frightened by this...vermin.

Grumbling softly Blue hissed to the thing, and it repeated the sound. Owen laughed heartily and slid his gun into the holster, "Meet the Compsognathus, Blue!"

Blue stared down at the thing with a sour look; hissing when it bobbed its head in challenge and stalked back and forth before her on the log. It was brave, for a vermin.

However, the more Blue stared at it, the more her anger melted away and reformed into curiosity once again. Her head tilted and her expression softened with a gleam of the golden eye. One thing entered her mind as a pang of hunger escaped her stomach.

It was small, it was vulnerable...so was it edible? Obviously the creature could not bring her much harm.

Blue tested it's scent. It did not hold the tang of danger similar to the larger carnivores like the Tyrannosaur...but it did not smell like the plant eaters she so often hunted. Forgetting her embarrassing moments before, Blue lowered her stance and inched towards the green vermin with a gleam growing in her eyes. What did it taste like?

The creature, staring up at her and growing concerned by her slow advance, let out a small squeak and took a step backwards. She responded with a stride foreword. That seemed to put the right message into its little brain.

Erupting with a high pitched squeal and leap into the air, the green dinosaur spun and dove into the bushes. It was quick...but her hunger from lack of food for the past days was spurring Blue onto the challenge.

Jaws spreading the raptor snarled and leapt over the log with bounding leaps. The bushes whipped against her scales and dirt flew up behind her feet. A call from Alpha shot out, but falling against hunger shrouded ears Blue continued on the trail of her prey. The rush of the hunt was once again flowing through her veins and her heart crashed against her chest.

Running like lightning through the brush, Blue caught sight of a green tail in front of her. The green vermin was still fleeing from her, but it wouldn't be for long.

Snarling Blue jumped foreword and snapped her jaws, but they closed with an empty click and she looked up to see her prey leap to the side and change course. Following it she hissed and refused to give up.

Behind, Alpha's calls grew in distance, but as Blue zigzagged through the forest she refused to take her attention from her target. The calls went silent, and her chase continued.

Looking back at her with sides heaving the green vermin squealed sharply; causing her satisfaction. She could smell its fear and her thirst for meat and revenge on its previous challenge tasted sweet on her tongue. Just a little longer and her stamina would outlast her prey's.

She was unaware of the distance they were covering, and as they leapt over a small stream, the trees began to break in thickness. The brush thickened, then like the trees they too thinned.

Suddenly, turning sharply and darting back under her legs, the Compy hissed and ran back a ways until it reached.a large tree. Blue spun in an attempt to catch it, but the little vermin slid down a hole in the tree's roots. It couldn't escape!

Sliding to a stop Blue made an outraged snarl, then began to claw at the hole with her talons. She could smell the green prey, but it was free from her grasp and it squawked in victory.

The hunt was failed.

Realizing this after a moment Blue pulled back; sides heaving with heavy breaths as her mouth closed and her talons fell away from the wood. Frustrated growls escaped her, and her tail whipped about. She was so close...she had it.

Slowly her mind cleared, and looking up Blue was concerned to find herself pulled away from Alpha...in an unknown part of the forest. Her hunger had fogged her judgement.

Making a soft churning sound Blue stood up on her hind legs and tilted her head as she searched for any signs of the humans. None came, and a distraught groan rose from her throat. She would have to follow her trail back...

Giving one last glare to the hole the green vermin had escaped into, Blue turned and was about to slink back into the trees. Although as she walked, something brushed against her senses and demanded her focus. It was like the soft gush of the wind, and it called to her instincts with urgency.

At first Blue was confused to the point of pausing on the trail. Her head rose and her eyes darted from the shadows to the path behind her. There she could see a tree line; beyond that the green waves of a grass field. She had stumbled across a meadow.

The raptor chuffed, then the odd feeling came to her again, and this time she heard something in the distance. It was quiet, but a real sound and something she doubted she had actually heard at first. It had been so long...how was it possible to hear such a thing?

Full attention hooked Blue turned and cocked her head as she inched back towards the tree line. The sounds came again; this time making Blue quiver and her jaw gape open.

The soft chirps and chatters of her raptor sisters...Delta, Charlie, and Echo. Although...they sounded strange...different.

Purring softly Blue called out with a weak gurgle. They were dead. How was it she was hearing their voices? They were hunting calls; the kind of gentle orders the pack used to give each other as prey was being stalked.

Blue froze and just listened to the quiet noises, then her heart began to race. By some miracle, were her sisters on this island? Had she found them alive!

Without thought the raptor's foot fell foreword; followed by the next. Her golden eyes brightened and a gentle churr hung in her throat. The sunlight shone ahead through the trees and sparkled on her scales.

Again, awareness of her Alpha fell.

Happiness beginning to surge Blue slinked faster foreword until the sunlight came blinding against her eyes. Closing them she pressed onwards, and felt the soft tickle of long grass against her chest and stomach. She was in the field, and she became aware of the presence of other dinosaurs. A herd of Parasaurolophus.

Opening her eyes Blue sniffed the air and was blasted with the powerful musk of a bull Parasaurolophus. It was the first time she had met a male dinosaur, and shaking her head with a snort she was once again confused. All of the dinosaurs on Isla Nublar were female...the very existence of a male dinosaur was unheard of in her reality. There were only male humans.

Up ahead was the bull; the leader of the herd. The sight of him was both intimidating and mind boggling.

He stood up tall with deep red crest flushed with blood as he stood guard over his harem of females. He was much bigger and more powerful, and watched over them with a possessive look in his dark eyes. They grazed blissfully unaware of the raptor in the grasses nearby.

While the thought of male dinosaurs was odd in her mind, her instincts told her it was natural...meant to be.

However, as Blue gazed about, she realized with a slight panic that the raptor calls had gone silent. Had she lost her sisters!

Making a small quiet call Blue went to step foreword, but she sensed movement a moment before it came rushing beside her in a blur of color and whistle of wind. Her eyes widened and she chirped in happiness. It was! Her sisters were alive!

She almost burst into a run after the raptor sweeping through the grasses, but another passed by, then another. These were followed by a third, a fourth, and lastly a fifth...

Five raptors...Something was not right.

Falling back Blue tilted her head and crouched into the grass as she watched the shadows move onwards towards the herbivores. Now she heard the clicks of teeth an talons and the barely audible chatter of raptors communicating with one another. Now this close Blue knew these were not her sisters.

Suddenly and with a sharp roar, a blur of color jumped up from the grasses and lunged foreword into the group of Parasaurolophus. This was followed by two more, and the herd burst into a chorus of frantic trumpets and its members split apart in fear. They were being hunted.

Blue, hiding in the grasses, watched as the raptors worked to single out one of the youngest females of the group. By now the bull was alert and charging towards them with an agressive bugle, but the hunting party was prepared.

Lunging from their hiding spot three more raptors surrounded the bull. Whilst they slowed and gave off challenging hisses and snarles, the other three worked to trap their target. This was when Blue was given a good view.

One of the raptors, about Blue's size, hissed with a flash of white teeth and slashed its death talons over the female prey's hide; drawing blood and a pained roar that made the bull rumble. The raptor was grey in color, with deep forest green spots scattered over its scales and fierce golden eyes.

Another, leapt up and landed upon the struggling herbivore and tore into her neck; teeth slashing the flesh and ripping her life vein as a gurgled cry erupted from her lungs. Her death would be quick.

The second raptor leapt free. It was large, and was a warm brown color with burgundy stripes down the length of its body.

From the other end of the action, the bull made a loud roaring call, and the raptors surrounding him snarled; jumping foreword to snap their jaws and push him back towards the tree line. He brayed at them, but his eyes strayed to its female, which now lay still in the grass.

He rumbled softly, then slowly and reluctantly, he turned on his hindquarters to walk into the trees and rejoin with the rest of his herd. That left the raptors to peace with their kill.

As all went quiet, Blue shifted uneasily and tried to lift her head over the grass to watch the pack. How was this possible? It was always just her and her sisters...they weren't the only ones?

It was hard to process, as for her entire life Blue was only aware that she and her siblings were the few existing of her kind. She didn't know that they had a kind. But now...

Tilting her head Blue sniffed the air. She was disappointed that her wild assumption that her sisters had survived was indeed false. But her new discovery had her gears spinning. Raptors...more raptors like her.

Puffing up her chest Blue watched as the pack ahead moved towards their kill. They chattered to each other and closed in, then by the sounds of ripping flesh and approving churrs, they had begun to feast. The thought if it made Blue's stomach twist.

Whimpering softly, she shifted uneasily. Every fiber of her being wanted to go out and join the pack in their meal. To feel what it was like to be with a pack once again...to be with other raptors.

Breaking down, Blue struck the ground with a talon and growled in frustration. She needed food...she needed to see those raptors...she was no longer alone and to be so close to her kind was killing her.

Making a hiss, the raptor reached foreword with a hesitant foot. She would go. She had to go; even if it meant risking her safety.

Steps slow and small Blue slid through the grass towards the Parasaurolophus body and the growing sounds of the raptors feasting. She sniffed the air, and again she was puzzled with the scent of a male dinosaur. There were male raptors as well? Not just human and prey herbivores?

The thought made her tilt her head and click her teeth. She didn't quite understand what made the males so different, but she knew they were.

It didn't take her long to come to the edge of the long grass; where the quick hunt had trampled the grass down to the earth. Up ahead through the green blades she could see the honey colored hide of the Parasaurolophus. And occasionally the jerk of a raptor's head just visible on the stomach side. The fresh meat smelled so good against her senses.

Gait slowing further, Blue bobbed her head and slinked free of the grass line. Her blue scales gleamed in the sunlight and her golden eyes flashed with a mixture of uncertainty and excitement.

Inching up to the carcass, Blue looked down hungrily at the delicious looking meat. Then, reaching foreword she opened her jaws, and very carefully sunk her teeth into the soft hide of the body. Warm blood trickled onto her tongue and she made a quiet purling sound, then her movements stiffened and quickened as she began to tear into the food she had so long not had.

The sounds of the other raptors chittering to each other caused her to close her eyes and warble gently. She forgot what it was like to hear those sounds...

She was able to down a few mouthfuls, and licking her lips Blue savored the taste, but silence met her ears. No longer were the raptors chittering and no longer did their teeth rip through flesh. There was silence.

Freezing, Blue's body tensed and she swallowed the meat in her mouth before stiffly raising her head. She felt multiple gazes burning into her skull, and heard the ever so slight growl of a Velociraptor.

When she looked up, her gaze was met with burning yellow eyes and curled black lips.

Standing up on top of the Parasaurolophus was a massive black raptor; its scales mottled and marred with pink scars trailing down its neck. Its left eye was sealed over and split by a long pale scar, while chunks were missing from its lips.

Immediately, Blue could smell the heavy scent she was beginning to realize was male. This raptor was male, and massive.

On either side of him were the other five raptors; each Blue cast an uneasy glance as they all stared shards into her body.

Two, she recognized from the hunt.

Up close, the grey raptor with green spots, turned out to be a young female with confident eyes.

The second, the brown raptor with burgundy stripes, she was surprised to discover was an elder male. He was large, decorated with small scars, and she could see on his right foot his death claw had been torn away. He was obviously an older raptor with experience and a full life.

The other raptors, Blue had previously not had the chance to look at.

One, was a jet black female with blood red stripes that ran down the length of her back. She stood close to the largest of the raptors and held her head high with dominance. Immediately Blue could tell she was a higher ranking pack member.

The next, was a surprise entirely.

Like the raptor whom missed a claw, this male was an elder. But oddly, he was the color of a pale white sheet; skin shaded a light pink and eyes a deep rose. Quills decorated his head, arms, and tail. He was big, and an Albino. While Blue did not know this word she knew he was very different and was surprised he had survived because of his poor scale color.

The raptors were all much different than what she had been used to with her sisters, but gazing up at them she had never felt so torn. Part of her was frightened and challenged by their aggressive gazes, while part of her longed to remain with them. Somehow she knew that wasn't going to happen.

A sharp hiss rising from the biggest black male, Blue turned and found him glaring into her eyes. His teeth flashed and he inched ever so slightly foreword with head lowered and forelegs extended with talons at the ready.

Who was this strange female who had the audacity to eat from their kill right from under their noses?

Snarling loudly the male jumped foreword abruptly and Blue stumbled backwards on her feet. Golden eyes wide she hunched over, but the black scarred one continued to march foreword. With great speed he lifted a leg, and the next thing she knew Blue was pinned to the ground.

Lips curling up Blue snarled back and squirmed at the pain of a claw piercing her shoulder blade. Her tail thrashed and she looked with wild eyes to the one who pinned her. She wanted to struggle and free herself, but the male was much larger and she was not strong enough to remove him.

Tight with aggression the male shoved her backwards towards the tree line and snapped his jaws at her neck. His teeth nicked her skin and she cried out softly, but free of his grasp she rolled and shot to her feet.

That was when the male, rising up till he towered over her, released a bellowing growl and swished his tail from side to side in a show of dominance and aggression to her presence. Blue shied away, and when he lunged for her she cried out and spun on her legs.

It was not the welcome she had pictured in her fantasy, but instinct made her obey the black scarred one's warnings. At least he had released her alive. She could tell by his actions that he was either a Beta...or an Alpha...

Growling in hesitant submission Blue walked some strides away from the pack. They followed her with their gazes.

She had found other raptors on the island...her

Alpha would not believe this...SHE didn't.
