This won't have anything reguarding Rexy in the ways of a relationship. The thing close to what they for is like a Mother/Child bond, reason of her being kind and protective to Alex.
I don't know actual dinosour speices named so you'll have to go by the discription to match the animal.
Just to verify, the first few chapters are Transfers.
Blue's POV
The walk back to the resort area of the park was anything but a walk in the park. I was trailing just behind the human and the queen (hail to the queen, baby!) to whatever location they were heading. We had past several others along the way, some going up to him to receive a pat on the head before turning back.
When we arrived at the main area where the humans would be heavily gathered, what I saw was completely different from what I saw before. Most structures were gone. Completely vacent from the stone pathes. But others, ones much bigger for machines still stood but were heavily covered with greens that hid the gray walls. The only way one could tell it was there was by looking through the large doors that showed the inside. Many seemed to be laying in them as like already built nests. Chirps of all kinda echoed from inside.
We rounded a corner and made out approach to sight that I was surprised was still standing. It was that strange cone shaped building. The same one we gathered at before challenging the monster. It had much more over growth compared to the other places. But one thing stood out from everything.
A giant hole was in the place facing the path. It was mostly covered with a mixture of plastics tied together and hung down like a curtain. Rexy was the first to come up to it, gently pushing it to the side with her tail. I watched the human nod to her as he entered. Then she looked back at me. Her eyes became familiar slits. It was enough for me to put in a little more speed to my steps as I dashed by. Not wanting to look into those dark eyes.
When I did go in, I was greeted with such a sight I didn't think was real. Every I looked, it was like a forest had been growing here for years. But I knew what it looked like, smelled like and felt like. It was all shining, human stench was everywhere and it would be colder than what one would experience outside. Now it was the complete opposite. It only smelled like Alex and the queen but with so many others like it was a drinking area.
Hearing the curtain fall back I glanced to my right to see her walk by, but turn slightly towards me.
"I'm watching you." her voice sent a massive shiver down all the way to the tip of my tail. The coldness that she said those words were something I thought that couldn't be more threatening then before she could talk.
As she went past me to another part of the room I could sense Alex walking towards my left.
"Don't mind her... She's nice when you get to know her... Most of the time... she's a big softy. Right Rex?" he looked over to where she had her head down. When she lifted it back up, I could see a huge piece of bright red and pink meat hanging from her jaw. When she heard his words she just nodded before flipping the piece into her maw. Making it vanish in a second.
"Only because of you, Alex." that tone. It was much different than the one before. It was almost like what a mother would saw to their young. She turned back towards the entrance, stepping past us before she used her snout to lift the bottum up enough to where she calmly walked out. Her stomps slowly became much quieter as They faded in the distance. Looking back to the human he walked up on of the ramps that lead to the upper level. As I walked over to go up I saw a large amount of things that were heavily out of place.
A mountain of cushions and a sea of sheets layed about the back wall with wood boxes sitting the area. Various white boxes and machines were sprawled about with lights of all kinds flashing. Some of this stuff I remembered from where I was born. Taking to receive look overs from human doctors that Alpha would take us to.
When I reached the top of the ramp, I watched as he went over to one set boxes and slowly pulled the cart to the side. Taking some items off and placing them on apparent makeshift shelves. When everything was put away he pushed the cart to the side and brought his hand up to his mouth.
"Terra! I'm home..." He yelled out in a much more cleared voice.
Terra? Perhaps he wasn't the only human- "Daddy!"
A squeaked voice came charging from one of the halls. The soft thumps of paws on the smooth ground zipped past my left side as a small brown three horn jumped up to the human. As they both feel back into the mound of cushions.
"Oh... Easy Terra... Remember what we said?.." Slowly the human sat up so that she was now resting across his legs. Her front paws were pressed up aganst his chest as she actually nuzzled his nose. It was something I never saw another do with a human. A sign of a bond that was formed between them. When she finally stopped, I could see her freeze like stone. It was like when I hunted prey. They knew enough that I was there but they didn't know where. Her gaze slowly turned from Alex to me. Her green eyes looked directly at mine only for a second before she broke out.
"Monster!" She jumped off his legs and ran into on of the giant mounds of sheets. Diving under she twisted around and rolled for a moment until she was completely covered. The clear form of her body was visable as her nose horn comically poked out from under the edge of the sheet.
"Relax, Terra... She just woke up today. She's not going... to hurt you..."
His voice seemed to be enough for her to come out. She slowly stepped out, not removing eye contact from me, and hastly went back to him. Curling around the back of his legs like a small child would.
"Don't mind her..." he looked to me. "She's one to... easily spook..."
Walking over yo a makeshift of some kind he sits down in a indebted place in the cushions. Terra had jumped up and started to settle her self so that she was resting against his right side. He glanced over to me and then to another pile that was across from him.
Stepping over the mess of sheets that littered the ground I stepped on to the pile and carefully sat down. Resting on my side wasn't painfully like it was before but it did send a but of a sting.
"So... I know for a fact... that you have questions..."
I did have questions. Many in fact. But where to start was a bit troubling. I was use to just having my siblings understand me. But right now a human that wasn't Alpha sat across from me.
"Way do you talk like that?" he arched a brow. "You talk as one would be if ill."
"Well," he readjusted his place. "I was born with a weak... right lung... It's sometimes hard to breath but... I manage better than what... others would..."
Well that does explain the strange speech. "How and why are you here? And what happened that's now allowing me, and apparently everyone to talk to you like you would another human."
(I won't be adding the ... between parts because it might confuse some. You'll have to think of the breaks in curtaint parts.)
"Well... to answer all that in order, It started just a little over two years ago. Back when the park was still active. I was here visiting family when I had trouble breathing and passed out. I don't know what really happened, but when I woke up in the park's hospital everyone was gone. It took some time but when I got to the main area, it was just destroyed. I didn't think anyone still here was alive.
I tried finding anyone. Find a way to call for help. But every phone or radio I found nothing got through. I found some televisions that still worked so I had some form of entertainment but not to contact anyone off the island. It got to the point where I started to break down but held against it. I went around gathering everything I could use. Food, clothes, tools. A Lot of it was left here when everyone abandoned this place so supply wise I was good for awhile.
That's when I found Terra.
When searching around for anyone, cause there still was a chance that someone was here I found her hidding in a collapsed part of the building that held the animals. She was muddy, cold and injured. When I first found her, she tried hidding but when the second time came. She got out from her spot and approached me. I got her cleaned up, warm and took her to the clinic to help her wounds.
It wasn't easy but I got her fixed up. When she could be fine on her own I let her go. I went back to my savaging but she came back. It was nice having at least some form of company around when I wasn't doing anything.
One day, after spending maybe 4 months here she came back to me with another animal. They were severely famished and were just on the brink of death. Being the kind person I was I gathered up a good amount of food that they could eat without a problem. In just two weeks they were normal and left.
Thats when it started to happen. First it was just one or two of a kind that came up to where I was staying and I tended to them. Even that giant in the lagoon. Then it became 5 to 10 and pretty much entire herds came coming to me. I was shocked to find that, creatures meant to be so dependent of their environment would come to a human. I know there were caretakers, handlers and trainers but this was something completely new.
I liked to read in my free time. And I could finish books like they were just poster cards. So gathering every book I found I brought them back with me and read them over and over. It was help in understanding how to operate the park's systems to how to treat wounds. They helped greatly in understanding how to handle everyone the way they could adjust to. It was really strange, walk out the shelter to see a stegosaurus sitting at the door waiting for me to either feed him or even give a little scratch.
It got to the point, where I moved into here. Some of them helped to clear out parts I didn't need and others brought in things I couldn't move myself. It was a bit of a challenge, a amazing one at that. To see all these incredible things working together... I just couldn't wrap my mind around it. When all this went on, I went and looked around the building.
Most of it was just stuff for tourists. Basic displayes of history. Then I found the back labs, that's when I found out about them restricting DNA in every single aninal on the island. It was self controlled, They decided if this animal was blue, green, short, tall or male and female. They were making things more and more... Stranger to be simple about it.
Most equipment was still working so I looked about and found out what to do. Thanks to what I got from being a fast learner I found that they had many, many different sets of DNA of just one species. Each set I found was completely different from the originals. It had more properties than what I thought a dinosaur should have. Vocals was one of them.
Possibly two months after that, I didn't know how I did it. It would of taken dozens of people over decades to do what I did in the those two months. I was able to make a mixture of the most up to date DNA with the unrestricted version and well, the ablity to talk was a just one of the effects. I made it so that the blank could be mixed with any of the DNA of each dino. All that was left was to just test it.
And Rexy was the first to receive it.
I didn't know what was going through her mind when I prepared it but she was the first that I gave the new set to. I knew we had to wait for it to take effect so during that time I took my chance to spread out from the resort. That's when I found your sister, Echo.
I honestly didn't know how that raptor was alive with that many holes going through it's body. But when I found another one, I started wondering what really happened here. Everyone's wounds that I found were ones that would be similar to fights of predator against prey, but this raptor was burned beyond it's limits. I was thankful to find that some vehicles here were still usable and brought them both back here. Echo was fairly easy to work with. Delta, from what records I found, was something that if she wasn't breathing you would think she would be dead. Is wasn't easy tending to them or others that has untreated injuries, but in all I was able to help.
I didn't know much about you raptors, most of what I could find was just info files like name and what not. When I found the location of the paddock where you were kept, I got them both on a truck and drove up there and that's how I came across Chalie.
Dear God, what a mess. When I found her on the side of the road heading towards the raptor paddock, I honestly thought something had eaten her. Her entire leg was gone along with a bit of her other. Chunks of her body was missing and she had severe internal damage. It looked like she was just... Blown apart. When I went to feel for any life, I could just feel her chest rising and falling. I made room in the back and loaded her inside the cab. Minding the critical damage I had to drive slower than I liked but got there. I ended up setting up a make shift infirmary to where I could check on all three of them. I left the main gate open so that if they did wake up, They could easily roam about.
Healing their wounds was possibly a achievement in of itself. I had to apply dis-infectent to Echo's bites a lot to keep it from rotting. Detla's burns were a slow process to repair the damage under her hide and Charlie was a slower task. Because of how some reptiles used to make your DNA had regenerative properties in it, her body did begin to slowly reform and grow new legs and muscle. I just had to be carefull because some times they would mutate and disform.
When the first whole year hit, the new DNA had successfully worked for not only Rexy, but litterally every single dinosaur who wanted it. I gotta say, having a conversation with a T-rex was not on my To-Do list in life. And talking wasn't the only thing changed, male's of the same species started popping up here and there to where everyone was rapidly growing. The new genetics carried over to the offspring so it saved me some work in that case. But I wasn't done. I had to try to keep the place in a working order in a way that I could actually live and the others to benefit too.
Redirecting power to things like this place and your paddock and not to abandoned shops. Make sure there was enough supplies in case of a problem was to hit. This went on for while. I stripped every building of it's furniture, food, everything that I needed that wasn't nailed down.
But during one of my searches I came across a destroyrd work station, most likely used for the control force that guarded the place, and found You.
You were curled up in a ball next to a over hang of the roof that collapsed during a storm some time ago. Out of the four of you, you were the only one in the best of shape. When I told Rexy, she did talk a little about what you two did and how you defend four humans. It was a short story, but one I did think about when taking you to the paddock.
When I had all four of you together I gave each of you the same blank gene that's now allowing you to speak. I had hopes for at least you or Echo to wake up sooner but instead I had to wait for almost a year now until you stood up before me today.
So does that answer just about everything you wanted to know in a reasonable case?"
Yes... Yes that was Exactly what I wanted to know. Maybe more than what I asked for. Possibly too much at once...
A year, almost a entire year we were asleep when all this happened. My family was still alive and being taken care of for long then I have been.
"Yes... That was..." I didn't know how to respond.
"A Lot to take in..? Yeah... I tend to talk to myself... a lot and go at it... for hours."
This was just too surreal. This hunan, the one sitting before to do all what he just said in just two years?!
"Daddy?" Terra looked up to him.
"Hmm?"
"Can we do that thing again?" The looked of hope came to her.
Alex smirked before he slowly stood up from his place and walked over to a set of crates. Dissappearing before reappearing with something in his hand. It was a tiny red version of the human's machines but with over sized wheels that skid across the ground. Alex sat forward with a small black box in his hand as he rested his thumbs on two tiny sticks. When he moved them, the you did too.
Terra caught sight of Its movement and quickly ran jumped from the pile to be in the front of it. Like two would challenge for dominance over others, she sig her paws across the floor as the you made two little whirls. Before I could ask what they were doinf, the you speed forward. Terra instantly charged with her horn lowered to the ground as them went straight at each other. But before them made contact, he turned away from her and down a clear path.
It was amusing watching the young three horn have to stop and now give chase to it. The toy easily out ran her but Alex kept slowing it down for her to catch up. They both laughed and giggled as they seemed to enjoy the activity.
It when the thought came that I wasn't needed here anymore. I had gotten what I wanted and maybe more that I didn't know. His story, it had it's parts of truth but others were just, strange. Making sure they didn't notice, I made my way out the entrance and stepped outside.
I looked back once to hear them laughing about. It was something that I remembered Alpha doing with us when we were hatchlings. Listing to them it made me feel...
What was this feeling?
It was definitely something I never felt before.
Happiness? No, that would be a understatement. Compassion? Like the bond that holds me and my sister's together.
My sisters.
How could I of forgotten them. It was almost dark when I left. When I came outside it was growing ever darker. I had to tell them what I found out. It was something that they all must know. I turned back, dashing in the direction from where the wind was bring their scent from the forest. I past by several more buildings before running into the darking forest.
