Chapter 15
Part 1: Blue
I am so sorry for the delay. Was busy working on other stuff on and offline and getting another dinosaur story moving again. (Not related to caretaker.) And am now part of a very active roleplay group.
Will try and make these next few chapters as long as possible. And by Part 5 is (BRIEF) lemons. Vote for who is still up for debate.
Blue's POV.
'okay Blue, you can do this!'
This was it. The sun was just right, the wind was blowing gently on the hill we sat on. There wasn't another living thing for a mile, and Alex was beside me. Letting me lean against his shoulder.
"This is nice…" he said leaning his head on top of mine. I couldn't help but let out a small purr at the touch of his now messy hair on my hide.
"Very…" It was nice. Better than nice. This is like the part of Alpha's- no. Not Alpha, Owen's movies. While if we ever did see him again, then we would welcome him. But he is our Alpha no longer.
A lifted my hand up. Twiddling the five digits that adorn it. My hide was beginning to recede. The gray I and everyone was use to was slowly melting away to show… white. The kind of white tanned skin was. Like Alex.
Tracks said it would happen soon. It was what happened to everything; evolution. But yet something was holding the full change back. He didn't know, neither Rexy or Alex.
But I felt it in my heart, it would cone soon. "Alex, what do you think will happen to us?" I asked laying it on his lap.
"I don't know, Blue. For all we know the sky's the limit." he looked over to me with his smile. God that smile; if it was a drug I would and am addicted to it. Reaching a arm behind I felt him pull me closer. But in a quick move I actually didn't see coming, he rolls us over on the grass. Spinning around until he was on top of me with his hands pinning mine. The Sun was perfectly behind him to shield part of his face in light while I could still see his eyes. He truly looked like a angel.
Then he started moving closer. I could feel sweat drops form, but that was technically impossible for us, as I leaned closer. I could feel his warm breath just a few ticks away. I felt my eyes close and I just let my mind drift to the feeling I was about to- "Blue!"
I felt my eyes spring open as I felt something collide with my snout. I quickly ripped off the pillow from my eye sight; praying that I just fell asleep after the 'event'.
But looking around, I saw I was facing the tall roof of the visitors center.
It was just a dream… But it felt so more real. The feeling of our skins touching were as smooth as this pillow case. Yet I wished I wasn't disturbed by this confounding, but nice and soft, puff cloud. Twisting my neck I look to the down towards my feet. I was… in my human form.
'Crap,Crap,Crap, Crap!' I mentally screamed. If I'm still in this form and Alex is find then that means…
"Glad you're finally awake." I heard Alex's voice not too far away. "Have a nice dream or nightmare?" I looked over to see him eating out of a bowl on top of the blanket mountain.
I raised a brow, "Why?"
He looked over to me before focusing back on his food. "Because at first I thought in sweating. But when I got up I saw it was mostly on your side."
I was confused by this. But something did feel… off. I say up in the bed and kicked the covers down. I was still bare naked. And now Alex had a complete view of my new body. But that was my concern; because I felt my heart turn to stone and blood run cold. The white and gray sheet that covered the mattress itself was soaked on my side like it was halfway dunked into the ocean. The scent was unfortunately confirming my suspicion. But the feeling of my legs being very sticky was the finally nail.
Oh my God did I…? In the same bed? AS HIM!?
"I will say." he said snapping my attention to him. "It must of been one hell of a happy dream if you actually started to hump the bed."
I could just feel my blue stream turning pure red. My cheeks feeling earner than any part of my body. Dear God… what does he think of me now? Some wild sex crazed animal. It started off so well and then this had to happen.
"Might wanna go find the others and get cleaned up. Cause afterwards," he stood up from his spot. "We're gonna have a little chat regarding you all suddenly becoming human." he then started to walk away. Not sparing a glance as he passed by me.
I could feel my heart literally ach. Like it was a child just denied…
I quickly jumped up. Not wanting to be here anymore I look around for my clothes. It's still so strange to wear such things, but it felt so much better when you felt something hit it instead and not your own body directly. But it did little, if any, made the stick even worse. And the smell was still there. Quickly walking while my leg wear was only half way up he called out.
"I'll met you all in the Food Yard."
The Food Yard. The area where the most human restaurants are and where we keep the foods for others. Place where everyone gathered to eat. Once I got my head through the shirt, I quickly thought of changing. A leaped off the top of the ramp and in seconds became my true form. In sped up faster than I ever did, even for hunts. I raced out from under the tarp to go and find the others.
Unbeknownst to Blue however, was that Alex was trying his hardest to hide the biggest blush he ever had in his life.
"God…" he said with his voice returning to it's rasp form. "If this is a sign, what is it for?"
Blue couldn't think straight. No matter what image she tried to think of something else. But every time she got something, the image of Alex on top of her, coming closer to sealing the first step in the human process of mates.
Track's words now replayed in her head;
Flashback!
"Now that you 4 have human like bodies, you are not fully human." Tracks said standing in front of us. He too was in his human form wearing a long white cloth that the people would wear when we got taken to be healed. Me and my sisters all stood here in our forms too. With Rexy behind us blocking the only exit out if this room.
"You should know, that despite the changes, your natural instinct will sometimes go against common sense and vise versa. Meaning when your heat comes, your more human instincts will try to counter this."
"And why do we need to know this?" Echo said with boredom in her voice.
"Because." he said in a more stern tone. "Last year we didn't know about this until 6 other flyers like myself tried taking Alex as a mate. We had to keep him always occupied indoors but thankfully it didn't last long."
I felt my hand clench tightly. I didn't know why I did when he said that. But I figure it would just go away later.
"But on topic, because you're two different instincts will eventually become one of the same, human customs are different. You can't just go and claim someone. There's actually steps to go through before you could become the perfect couple."
End!
Oh how wrong I was… He then proceeded to tell us about life everything and how both of our true and human sides would work. And when he got to the point, it was a very strange how humans went through a 'courting' process before becoming mates. Kinda like a way to see if the other is the right one or not. But why me? Why that one raptor on the island that just woke up from a year long nap to suddenly fall for a unknown human.
I mean, it wouldn't technically be the first time. In our younger years I always thought Alpha was the one waiting for us. Mostly me for making me beta of the group. But each time he showed affection it was like that of a guardian to a hatchling. Parental; while annoying at times, was still love been always gave us. But Alex, he's been what everyone calls him, a caretaker for everyone. Even then they consider him part of a bigger family.
Family… that one word long ago I thought was meaningless. Alpha was gone. And I was sure that so were my sisters. And here we are, together as a whole because of him. Blunt kindness is all I could call it. While if he was here before the incident I doubt it would of helped. But now it was something everyone had. So why did I feel like this like before only greater.
I knew it. They put something in that needle to affect or emotions. Tracks said it would change how we would think over some things, and this was one of them.
Even if it was true, then what was the point now? Technically everyone lied to him about one thing I was pretty sure he wo7ld of actually been happy about. Isn't that why he made the serum. For us to all be on a level together that he could help everyone equally. If it upset him this much that we all have a human form, them what will happen next?
That question spun around much head all the way to the Food Yard. When I got there there was already a sizeable crowd. But what surprised my was how everyone were interacting. I saw 3 flyers in their true forms literally dig at a pile of meat while beside them was 4 children in their human forms calmly eating plants. It was a sight that I'm still growing on from being baffled.
scanning the area I searched for my sisters. Having to rely on sight for the scent of meat was drowning my nose. Thankfully I was able to find them near the far back. All three were in their true forms like me. Hastily weaving between the larger people in their true forms I quickly strolled up to the large table that had three piles of delicious meat that each one was eating at. But good was the last thing on my mind at the moment.
When Charlie glanced over to me, I could see in her innocent eyes that this would be unbearable. Walking up to the head of the table, I sat down on my hunches looking blankly forward.
"Well good morning-" A loud thump shook the table as my head collided with all its weight. "Blue…" she looked at the others for a response. Delta just 'shrugged' as Echo was still eating. She looked back to me with concern on her eyes.
"What's wrong Bl-" she stopped instantly taking in a heavy breath. She sniffed the air for a moment before aiming in my direction. Her eyes widened in shock as the level of embarrassment was risen. "Blue… did you and Alex-"
"NO!" I practically screeched. And instantly regretted. For everyone turned to look at me. Without looking I could feel their eyes boring a hole in my head together before returning to their meals.
"*sigh* No, Charlie. Me and Alex did not… mate. Though… I do think I'm now going into…" I trailed off. The thing that of Alex and heat in the same subject was like a 100, no, a Thousand needles stabbing all over me.
"Into what Blue?" Echo asked with that smirk of hers.
"Into-" I was about to say when I felt a very strong hand be placed on my shoulder. "Well doesn't someone smell ready to be pounced by a male." he deep voice said near me.
I felt every blood cell in my body become frozen. At of anytime soon, especially after what just happened, she had to be hear.
"What the hell are you doing here." Delta hissed confirming who it was.
Inda...
Oh how I wish I could spin around right now and rip her throat out. She's in her human form and standing, more like leaning, up against me. But then her words came to my ears and I wished all life would suddenly end.
Echo looked up from her food. "Wait. You tried mate with Alex?" Her voice wasn't one of her usual jokester tone. But more like actual astonishment.
"No. I did not." I said lifting my head up.
"Not yet maybe." Indy added to my dismay. "I mean, and this is both me and the heat talking, but who wouldn't want a male like him?" I could feel my claws dig into the wood.
"He's gentle, caring, strong for a human like himself and protective. You wanna know something?" she whispered just a inch away from me.
"What." I said through my teeth.
"For a human," she paused, "he's pretty big."
"THAT'S IT!" I spun around to jump her.
"BLUE!" Two different voices yelled out stopping me from biting down on her head. Snapping up to see who it was I froze when the lean body of Alex and the godly look of Rexy beside him walking toward us. The former of the two looking not to pleased at the situation.
"I would rather not have any more blood spilled as it were for you twos' history." Alex said without any sign of his broken voice. "Now, since you're all here, we can go see Tracks about this situation…"
Turning his back to us he walks steadily away. Heading towards the healing building where Tracks and several others helped heal the sick and wounded like the humans did. Inda jumped up to her feet like my attack was nothing and, literally, pranced after Alex like a hormonal hatchling. Rexy then followed behind not saying anything as she just closed her eyes and shook her head.
I looked back to my sisters, each one of them sharing the same worried look as I did. But not on the he same level as I did.
When we arrived at the building we went to the room where we were first told about our bodies. Alex sat in a foldable chair facing towards the door with his arms crossed and a neutral expression. There was 7 more of them. Both Inda, Rexy and Tracks were still human stilling in the ones from the right.
"Sit." we heard Alex say slowly.
Doing as told we all changed. Even when I felt my bones shift places in moments I never lost eye contact with him. Unfortunately the others decided to take the left 3 chairs leaving me directly in the middle. Once seated we waited for Alex.
He looked over us from right to left and back. Not making a single change in his mood. Finally he closes his eyes and takes in a deep breath. "Alright… let's start with the basics. When, Where and How?"
All eyes drifted towards Tracks. "It started around the time you face us the serum. When you started teaching us how to properly communicate is when we started… developing these traits. Being the curious one of my kind when you taught me to use human equipment, I began looking through how we could talk. Then Rexy came to show me something."
The queen shifted her gaze down. The look of shame in her eyes. "I came by to discuss about how to further adapt to this change. But over the days I began developing pains as if I was pregnant. But during one test I felt my body collapse in on itself like I just stepped on small prey. And then I… changed."
Tracks then spoke up. "At first I thought she was dying. I acted quickly to try and help the pain but by the time I got back she was already in her human-""Anthro."
That puzzled us. "Any non-human beings taking on the form of a human; standing up on two legs, arms, more lean body. It's a word used a lot on the internet."
"Ah. Okay, well when Rexy change she held more traits of her real form than what you see before. Over the course of the year she began changing further; taking on more human as time went by. But the 7 of us weren't the only ones. Everyone on this island that we know of can do what you see before you. Even Terria."
This seemed to bring his attention so where else. I know we all saw that look. The look of surrealism.
"While I knew she was most likely hiding it to not give me a heart attack one day. Why did you hide this?"
Everyone except Indy turned away.
"It was because we truly didn't know how you would take us in these forms." Rexy spoke. "To suddenly see our kinds' to change into something so close to that of a human, even to some thought this against everything that separated us from humans other than bars and glass."
He nodded in agreement. Then looked to Indy.
"And what about you? I never met you until yesterday and pretty sure you never came close to the serum. Everyone's been accounted for each day so we know you didn't eat someone."
"That's because I at fish just to prevent myself from starving. And the dumbasses who made me had human put in the mix. Even when I was still a egg I could hear them speak about how I would turn out. How I would look like and so on. And so forth, I went on a rampage to kill them."
All eyes widened in slight surprise at how calmly she said that with a straight face. Even Alex had an arched brow. "Okay… Next topic, involving you two." He points to both Inda and me.
"First one tried to make me their mate and the other I find butt naked in my bed seeing like she had the dream of her life."
I tried to hide my growing blush. Wishing to reverse time and prevent that moment from ever happening. But I could also feel the looks of my sisters all looking at me like they just proved something.
"Then again," He continued, "I did find 4 other wet spots of the place. At first I thought someone spilled something. Until the scent hit like me like a train." Now it was my turn to look at them. Not in a smirk of being caught, but actually surprised.
Charlie looked ready to faint from embarrassment. Having a blush that turns her green hide redder than mine. Echo look so nervous like the first time she saw a needle. And Delta, while looking collected, one could easily see the figurative sweat dripping down.
'So they too have something going for Alex. And to think this wouldn't be a competition.'
But Alex said he found 4 other spots. If he was referring to the others and not me than that would mean-
"Hey, you can't blame me. You're a desirable male and I'm a female in heat. It's basic nature. I'm more or less surprised this one hasn't said to just let it happen but this one is like she trying to have you all to herself."
All eyes shifted from the others to both me and Indy. Rexy resting her head in her hand at how and why Indy just said that.
"Wait, what do you by that?" Alex asked leaning closer. Oh please just this morning once let Indy stay-
"This one," she points to Rexy that tries to hide her face even more. "Thought it would be a good idea to pair you up with these 4 as possible mates. How I know this? I saw the look in both their eyes when they came to get you. The looks that one female would give to another when fighting over a male to become-""ALRIGHT ENOUGH!"
We all instinctively jumped from our spots when Rexy literally roared out. But Inda didn't move; If anything she just merely flinched from being so close. A smirk adorning her crooked teeth was her response to the others outburst.
Rexy huffed once before taking in a deep breath to try and clear her mind. But I could tell that would be a long ways from happening.
Alex however seemed to react differently.
Instead, he just got up from his chair and headed to the door. Not saying a single word or even glancing at us as he walked out from around the corner. I've seen that exact look only once in my life. And that was the when had betrayed Alpha for this white monster. The look of utter distrust that would take so long to heal. And even then the damage was done.
Glancing over to where Indy sat, I resisted the urge to growl loud enough for her and her one to hear.
'I don't care if I have to hunt down and kill everything on this spit of land, I'm getting to him first before you can.'
Like anything involving evolution, the dinos Anthro Forms will undergo changes. Blue's snout becoming more smooth and round was the genetic structure of her body evolving . The same will happen to everyone as time goes on.
