So the chapter we've all be hoping, or dreading has arrived... the raptors betrayal!
Author note; For reason as well, I find that scene during the attack darkly funny, like you see one mercenary screaming weirdly from his camera being dragged off with a raptors tail in view. I don't why I find it funny, probably because I have a dark sense of humor

X Starting where we left off...
The whole raptor pack didn't know what to think, the I-Rex was just as big as a T-Rex. Her blood red eyes piercing into everyone of them. While Blue and Helen stood their ground with the others, Bob was standing beside Perry and Dave a few meters back from the I-Rex, he was still looking to his mum for guidance.
But straight away, Dave felt like something was wrong. The pack should have the I-Rex by now, and in truth, so should have the I-Rex. It didn't seem right with both of them just staring down each other, so why weren't they fighting?
Slowly, the I-Rex lowered her head down to Blues level, but when everyone expected chaos to erupt, both did something shocking...
Both began barking and growling and apart from Perry and Bob, all the other raptors joined in. But this wasn't aggressive behavior at all, in fact, it sounded more like they talking... almost like when people chat.
But while the mercenaries kept their guns locked on the I-Rex, Barry had picked up on the same feeling Dave was getting. Something was terribly wrong...
"Something's wrong, they're communicating." whispered Barry as Owen listened in on them.
Then it hit Dave and Perry! Claire said she used Perry's DNA to give the I-rex a human mind, but doing so also made the I-rex something else, not only Perry's sister, but part raptor.
"Wait a minute..." realized Owen as the I-rex turned her attention to the mercenaries. "This wasn't a good idea."
"HUMAAANS!" called the I-rex shocking Barry and the mercenaries. "Yoouu talk how you arreee the ultimate predatoooor, able to chaange the wooorld arooound you. But wheeen yooou tuuurn from the hunteer to the huuunted, yooou arre NOTHING!"
And to everyone's shock, for a brief moment, the I-rex stood almost like a raptor. And the rest of pack had turned their attention from the I-rex... to Owen.
Rising his head, Owen realized what had happened. The I-Rex had become the new Alpha, usurping Owen and Dave from their position in the pack. Even Helen was eyeing Owen with predatory eyes, but Dave soon thought of something worrying. If the whole pack has sided with the I-Rex, than what's stopping Perry?
Turning his head worryingly, Dave soon locked eyes with Perry and Bob, but instead of same predatory gaze as the others, she seemed just as shocked. Perry couldn't even believe her whole pack who side with her deranged sister, and her daughter of all raptors.
"No..." whispered Dave hoping Perry isn't thinking what the other raptors were.
Filled with fear, Dave began to creep back as Perry attempted to say something. But by now, the mercenaries had had enough.
"ENGAGE!" ordered one mercenary.
Within seconds, the place was engulfed in bullets and flames. Finding themselves caught in the firing line, the raptors shoot off into the undergrowth, even Perry had no choice but to run for cover with Bob as Dave dropped to the floor. But even in all this, Owen, Barry and Dave made sure not to hurt their raptors, all their efforts were on the I-rex.
But every bullet and round bounded of the I-Rex's skin like balls, all they seemed to do was piss me off. Preparing to attack, the I-rex was caught off guard as Dave threw his club at her face, stunning her long enough for one mercenary to get a clear shot. Bringing out bigger weaponry, one mercenary fired his rocket launcher at the I-rex, the rocket exploded near the I-rex, knocking her off her feet and setting the undergrowth around her on fire.
Not taking any chances, the I-rex retreated into the undergrowth. She wasn't looking for a fight away, she could just have her new allies to do it for her...
With no dinosaur in their sights, everyone emerged from their covers. Now they needed to be on full alert.
"Watch your six! Raptors got a new Alpha." reminded Owen keeping an eye for anything.
Picking his club up, Dave tried to keep himself together. To him, it was like Perry had just chosen a monster over him. But something was telling him that Perry hadn't, she just wouldn't do that!
"Dave! Are you alright?" checked Owen joining Dave.
"I actually don't know." admitted Dave not sure how he was.
Joining the rest of the group, Dave and Owen followed them through into the long grass. Even though they couldn't see the raptors or I-rex, they could hear their calls throughout the undergrowth. Almost like they were taking orders...
Then, everything turned into chaos.
One by one, mercenaries began falling prey to the raptors pack as they strike each one down like flies. With their camera - collar still recording, everyone watching the hunt from the control room could see each raptor picking the mercenaries off and dragging them into the undergrowth. But during all this, Perry and Bob remained away from the whole thing, Perry wasn't going to kill anyone just because her whole pack was as well, and Bob was too scared to get caught among the whole thing, he had also become separated from Perry, and was now trying to find Perry's scent.
In the mist of the confusion, Dave and Owen became separated from Barry and the others. With Owen aiming his gun at any movement, Dave held his sheild up for protection. Just then, the two spotted a tail raise up from the long grass, followed by a raptors head, it was Charlie.
But instead of attacking Owen and Dave, Charlie just stood where she was, almost confused about what she should actually do. She often follows Blue's lead, but with no sign of Blue, Charlie had to choose what to do on her own.
Suddenly, a rocket fired at Charlie, setting where she was alight and seemingly killing her. Caught off guard, Owen were knocked from the blast while Dave tried to sheild himself from the blast.
"CHARLIE!" called Owen hoping she was still alive.
But there was no replay, for Owen, it seemed like Owen had lost one his children...
"Owen! We gotta go!" reminded Dave knowing how Owen must be feeling.
Getting back on his feet, Owen kept close with Dave as they set off to find the others.
But not far, Barry had also become separated from the group. Now running for his life, all Barry had for defense was his pistol, and he didn't want to resort to killing his raptors.
Taking cover behind a log, Barry caught sight of the surviving mercenaries heading back to the Raptor Paddock, leaving him alone to deal with the pack.
Suddenly, Barry threw himself into the log just as Blue began to claw away the bark, trying to reach Barry. But Blue couldn't see who he was attacking, so with Barry shouting, all Blue thought was that Barry was another mercenary.
Hearing Barry's cries for help, Owen and Dave made their way back onto their motor-bikes. They needed to get Blue's attention away from Barry, even though he was still following the I-Rex's command, perhaps hearing their voices would draw him away.
"BLUE!" shouted Barry in one last attempt to get Blue to stop.
And amazingly, it worked. Stopping his attack, Blue peered into the hole he had clawed out. Almost trying to see if it was Barry he was actually attacking.
"Hey! Hey! Over here!" called Owen catching Blue's attention.
"Time to go!" muttered Dave zooming off with Owen beside him.
With Blue now chasing Dave and Owen, Barry breathed in relief, he had escaped death... just about.
X Raptor Paddock...
Back in the truck, Claire and Jess watched the whole thing, from the raptors turning on Owen and Dave, to the I-Rex's appearance.
"No, Perry wouldn't do that!" denied Jess hoping Perry hadn't turned on Dave.
"Well it looks like the other would." added Claire turning the video screen off.
"Is everybody dead?" asked Gray having opened the window again.
"No, no, no." lied Claire trying to assure Gray. "Everyone is fine."
"Don't lie to him!" snapped Zach seeing past Claire's lie.
"He's scared!" reminded Claire. "It's okay to lie when people are scared."
"No it's not!" corrected Jess knowing better. "That's how things get worse in the film!"
"I wanna go home." asked Gray not liking this situation.
"Oh, sweetheart. You will, I promise." assured Claire not lying this time. "Tomorrow, you will be home. And your mother will never let me see you again."
Suddenly, a bloody hand slammed against Claire's window. Straight away, Claire and Jess screamed in fear as Gray and Zach closed the door instantly. But this bloody hand was still alive, and determined to get the others out.
"GET OUT OF HERE!" ordered the mercenary showing a lighter side to mercenaries as a whole.
Straight away, Claire began to start the engine whole Jess tired to find something to defend themselves with. In the back however, the mercenary had opened the back door, trying to warn Gray and Zach.
"QUICK, THEY'RE COMING!" the mercenary as Delta leaped onto his back.
With Delta digging her teeth into the mercenaries shoulder, Gray and Zach tried to keep back. But just in time, Claire managed to get the truck starting. Without a second thought, Claire drove the truck away from the paddock, leaving the mercenary to die at Delta's teeth. But the back door was still open, leaving room fro anything to get in.
"You two okay?" asked Jess opening up the window.
"We're fine!" assured Zach keeping Gray from falling out.
"Just hold on back there!" ordered Claire focused on driving.
But out of the darkness, Blue smashed through Claire's side of the window. With his snapping jaws just missing Claire's arms, Claire screamed in horror as Jess tired to stop Blue.
"NO, BLUE! NO!" screamed Jess elbowing Blue out of the window.
Tumbling back, Blue got back to his feet as Echo followed along side him, both eyeing Zach and Gray...
Seeing the two raptors gaining, Zach and Gray knew they needed to slow them down. If either of them got into the back, then they're both history. Carefully getting to their feet, Zach and Gray threw anything they could find at the raptors, canisters, boxes, anything that'll hurt the raptors would do. But Echo managed to avoid their attacks, and was now running right along side the truck.
"Must go faster! Must go faster!" encouraged Jess seeing Echo catching up.
Seeing Echo catching up as well, Claire slammed the truck into her, sending her crashing into the undergrowth. One raptors down, one more to go.
But now, Gray and Zach had run out of the things to throw at Blue. But then Gray found something that should work just as well, tasers!
Pulling one out, Gray and Zach tried to aim it at Blue, but none of them knew how to turn it on. So if they didn't turn it on fast, Blue would be getting a fast food take away.
"Turn it on!" panicked Gray not knowing what to do.
"I don't know how!" admitted Zach of all the moment he should know.
But just as Blue jumped at them, Zach finally managed to get the taser working. Holding it up like a spear, both Zach and Gray threw it at Blue, who for a a few seconds, looked like a walking fossil before crashing to the ground.
"What's going on back there?" asked Jess opening the window up.
"Did you see that?!" asked Zach impressed by what they just did.
"I can't wait to tell mum." admitted Gray excited to tell his mum about it.
"NO! PLEASE NO!" refused Claire straight away. "YOU CAN NOT TELL YOUR MOTHER THAT! EVER!"
Just then, Owen and Dave emerged from the undergrowth onto the road, now racing on both side of the truck.
"Where's Perry?" asked Jess not seeing any sign of her.
Sadly, Dave get Jess a sad no. He had to leave her, there was no telling if she was following the I-rex or not.
"We gotta get indoors!" called Owen to Claire. "Follow me!"
And with that, Owen and Dave lead the way back to safety with Claire following behind. But not far behind them, Blue, Echo and Delta had come to a stop. the I-rex had caught their scent, so now she was calling out a short cut for them to follow.
X Within the forest...
Desperately, Perry called out for anyone. Her body hidden among the tall grass, not even her tail or head were above it, she didn't want to draw any attention. Now that the fighting had stopped, she could find Dave. But so far, there was no sign of him at all.
But right then, a weak growl caught her attention. Finding it's source, Perry caught sight of Charlie trapped under a fallen log. She had survived the rocket, but was now unable to get herself free.
"Hang. On." assured Perry trying to pull Charlie free.
But within the long grass, Bob had arrived. Although Perry was actually a few meters away, he couldn't see her at all. And neither could Helen, she had stayed behind in search of Charlie, and to kill any surviving people.
Just then, Helen caught sight of movement. Carefully, Helen prepared to strike at what she thought was a person. But Bob had also seem that same movement, and was now heading towards it, hoping to find her mum.
Seizing her chance, Helen pounced out of the grass at the moving object, her claws aiming to kill.
But to every raptors shock, she had not gone for what she thought it was. She had hit something else...
Oooh, so is Perry alive or not? Only one way to find out...
Anyway, keep the reviews up!
