The Acura Of Life
Alrighty guys, not much to say since I just released the last chapter, so no more delays, it's time to finally kick this story into high gear, hope you guys are ready. :P
Chapter 4: The Birth of something extraordinary
I still couldn't believe it, The egg was hatching one week too early, which naturally wouldn't be such a huge deal. However, because these eggs were designed and not bread, eggs are perfectly designed to be born on the best day, time and environment for it to become a strong individual. The egg hatching this early could cause many issues with her health and growth cycle.
I rushed into my hotel room to put on my caretaker uniform that Jurassic world gave me. I've never worn it so putting it on was a little awkward, but I managed to slip it on fast and rushed back out. I slipped and dodged customers as I ran to the scientific and incubation facility, running down main street like a madwoman.
God these people would not move, "I've gotta be somewhere!" I yelled as I started pushing people out of the way. I cannot miss the eggs birth, or it could heavily jeopardize the relationship I have with her. I got through most of the group of customers and made a Beeline for the facility. I ran through the doors of the science facility like a bullet and was sweating like crazy.
I ran down the stairs to the incubation area and immediately saw Doctor Kira. "Doctor I'm here!". She swerved around and had a face of relief. "Oh my god, thank the lord your here Miceala, she hasn't hatched yet but were getting high levels of action in the egg, were expecting her any minute now. We both started making our way over to her incubation room. I started getting really nervous, obviously, this partner of mine is gonna be the most important thing I've ever dealt with in my life, and I'm really hoping I don't screw it up.
We get to the incubation room and Wu is standing outside watching the scientists work with the egg. I slowly walk up beside him and watch with him. "I'm worried about her Miceala, this has never happened before. I don't know why this is happening but I hope she's okay", He says as he doesn't even move his face, still eyeing the egg. "I don't blame you Wu, this egg is very important to you, as it is to me. May I enter the room? I would like to see how it's doing".
Wu nodded, as I slipped between him and the door as I scanned my keycard. Before I entered Wu grabs my hand and looked into my eyes. "Please Miceala, make sure you can care for her, she's important to all of us". Wu was never a very emotional person, but I could see the sadness and worry in his eyes. I nod and walk into the incubation room.
The scientists look up as I walk in but they've been informed I'm her caretaker so they don't bat an eye and continue their work. I sit down on one of the nearest chairs, sit down and look at the egg. It's bigger than it was a week ago, she's really pushing herself to get out. I can already tell the strength and rebellious nature of her and I haven't even met her yet.
For some reason, all mentions or hints of life disappear, and the egg goes stale. The scientists go into a frenzy trying to figure out what's wrong and I just sit there not being able to help. After a very long 20 minutes, the head scientist puts his hands on each of his coworkers shoulders signalling them to stop. The head scientist looks back to me slowly, then to Wu, and slowly shakes his head back and forth. I look back at Wu, who looks down at the floor, then walks away slowly from the glass.
The scientists pat me on the back as they leave the room, and close the door behind me. I can't believe it, all that effort, and she failed, the poor little thing. A tear slowly trickles out of my left eye, as I look down and close my eyes.
I simply sit in my chair, with my head in my palms. A bunch of thoughts roll through my head. Bad ones, so I close my eyes and relax, falling asleep.
I wake up from my nap, I check my phone and notice the time "11am already, I better get up". I look up and see the egg, still motionless.
I get up from my seat and walk up to the egg and put my hand over it's top. "I'm so sorry little one, the world didn't deserve you. You would've been too good for us, and I would have loved you. I let go of the egg as I take one last look at the egg, before making my way to the door. Before I reach the door, an extremely small sound catches my attention. I look back and look around the room, "Hello?" I ask. Another sound is heard, but from where?
I then notice a little crack in the egg, and it begins moving. I jump into high gear and start moving the little pieces of the egg she keeps trying to move with her little head. I continue moving pieces until I finally see her, her little scales, and her right eye looking into mine. "Oh my goodness," I say in my head, she has purple eyes. She's so beautiful. She then uses all her energy and pops the top of her egg clean off and slowly climbs out and lands on the warm padding under her egg. I move the egg off the pad and look back at her. There she is, laying down on the pad, staring at me with her beautiful purple eyes. She then slowly with her little feet attempts to stand herself up, although falling over a couple times and making me giggle.
After finally catching her footing, she raised her head and began looking at me, slightly tilting her head back and forth. I bend over so I can see her closer. I finally opened my mouth after my shock of her hatching. "Hi there little one, I'm Miceala, your handler. I'll be taking care of you and making sure you stay healthy and grow into a big strong adult". I put on a smile and look at her, followed by the cutest sound I heard in my life. She let out a little squeak, followed by another and another.
Before I get too carried away, I run to the intercom and page Doctor Wu. and his scientists. "Doctor Wu to Incubation room 2, it's an emergency, I repeat Doctor Wu. to incubation room 2".
After making the announcement, I walk back over to the little dino still with the same expression, with her tilted head staring at me. Her violet eyes and her purple/grey scales, she's so beautiful.
Before we could bond more, Wu and two scientists run through the door, "Miceala what's wrong? Are you hurt? Why did you ca…" He cuts himself off when he sees the tiny dinosaur behind me. He slowly walks around me and is in pure awe of what he's seeing. "M.. my god, she made it, she's alive. I can't believe it, it's a miracle". He slowly gets closer and she sticks his finger out, as the little acro attempts to nip his finger. "Feisty little one, that's good, you keep that up little one". He turns back to me, "You know what this means Miceala, you've imprinted on her, and she thinks of you currently as her mother, which is a very key aspect in raising a predator like this. Are you ready for your story to begin?" I look up at him, and nod my head confidently, I will not let Wu down, but most importantly, I won't let… Come to think of it, I still haven't named her.
"Doctor Before we proceed, I believe one thing is needed." He looks back at me while he was studying the little acro, "Yes? What is it?". I walk over to her and stare into her little violet eyes, as she stares into mine, she's perfect. "I would like to name her, and I believe I've found a name". He puts a wide smile on his face and grabs his pen and clipboard, "well, what will it be Miceala."
I stare at the little acro one more time, as she looks up back to me, and lets out a little squeak, almost like she's encouraging me.
"Her name, Is Acura, Acura the Acrocathosaurus".
