Chapter Two

"Isla Nublar, dead ahead," Johnson said as he looks out the window.

"How 'bout you don't use the term, 'dead'," said Kyle nerviously.

"We ain't gonna die jus' because I said-"

"Shut it guys," Percy said as he rolls his eyes at the two of them. It has only taken a few hours to reach the island, with no detours and stops. The only thing that had been a problem is when Johnson finds a way to annoy or scare Kyle... "We'll have ta be on best terms with each other before we step foot on that island."

"Well, aren't you calm and collected!" Mily said cheerfully. "Well, we'll definitly gotta get off each other's nerves, that's for sure."

"Preparing to descend, buckle up everyone," the speakers said as they come to life, the pilots continuing to get near the island.

Everyone did so just before they started to get lower, towards a long-forgotten helicopter landing pad.

"'Ey, how come we're not getting near the crashsite??" said Roger in annoyance.

"'Cause there's no other place to land, unless you can spot a big enough clearing..." Zain said simply.

"Tch..."

With a bump that would have caused all the passengers to bounce and hit their heads if they hadn't put on the belts, the aircraft lands safely on the pad that is almost overrun of vines and other plantlife. The crew members climbs out and remains crouched to avoid the worse of the wind caused by the blades above them, moving away towards their cargo.

So in a matter of short time, they are on their vehicles and on their way, to the depths of the jungles with only weapons and the speed of their vehicles to protect them.

Jerking awake, the human, Rose Laxzi, looks around. She had somewhat hoped that she was dreaming all that had happened yesterday; Hell, for the six days she was on the island.

No such luck, for the raptor behind and around lifts her head up and looks at Rose quizzingly.

'I am alive... Adopted by velociraptors... Now eating raw meat instead of normal food...' Rose thought to herself with a silent sigh. The mother raptor croons as she stretched and stands up, nealry making Rose fall backwards.

"Ack," the girl said outloud as she bends forward, sitting up on her own as the rest of the pack rises with their leader. Some look in the direction of Rose, meaning that she is to stand as well. Groaning, she grudgingly stand up with the rest, stretching out her very sore muscles. 'It really was a bad idea to sleep on aching joints...'

The raptor starts to chirp and growl, making Rose turn as the alpha female begin to give out commands (of which Rose cannot understand...). Many of the raptors around stalk out to the forest, leaving only Rose, the leader, and two others. The raptor turns back to Rose, giving some croonings.

"Sorry, I do not understand," Rose said as the raptor watches her closely. Pointing her muzzle at the nests, then Rose, the girl begins to understand. "Watch the nests... Is that right?" said Rose, pointing to the nests with a finger, then to herself. The raptor croons again as it finally follows her fellow members into the forest, to hunt. With a sigh, she watches the other two raptors, trying to figure out what to do without messing it up. They merely lay at the edges of the clearing, apparently 'staking out'.

'Easy enough, I guess,' the human thought as she goes to an area of which needs to be watched, sitting down. Her stomach growls again, but not tightening so badly like it had the other day. 'Well... I hope the dinos can get something down. I will just make sure to build a fire and hope they will not attack me for it...'

"So Liz, why was yer sis on the plane?" Percy asks as they drive along the beaten paths that hasn't been used for many years.

"...She was visiting Europe, for a trip of some sort," Lizzy said uncertainly. "I don't really know, she's been keeping to herself and she just suddenly announced she was going. Couldn't stop her, since she is 20..."

"Ahhh," Roger put in as he leans over the back of the seats. "So, she single?"

"Roger, you fucking idiot!" Percy shouts as he slams his fist in the side of Roger's head.

"OWW! Ya motherfucker!"

"Something tells me this happens often," Billy said as he hears arguing from the vehicle behind his.

"Very much so," Kyle said with little ethusisum.

"But it's good enough entertainment at times," Mily said with a small grin, though she agrees that it happens TOO often.

"Only when we need the entertainment," Zain said with a slight scrowl. He shakes his head, then gives a small smile. "I'm just glad they're on the other jeep."

"Ooohhhh yeah." Kyle nods to that.

"So, anyone here know anyone on the plane?" Billy asks.

"Me know Rosie!" Mily said automatically. "Zain only met her once, me think."

"Yeah."

"Rose is Lizzy's sister, isn't it?"

"Yup." Mily gives a slight frown. "Her entire family, except for Lizzy and her kids, were all eaten on Isla Sanora."

"Oh..." Billy already finds some common stuff between himself and Rose, even without meeting. "I have lost team members on that island..."

"Daaaang, the dinos certainly don't like humans..." Mily said with a sigh. "Well, at least you're better prepared, eh?"

"Though we still might loose people if some idiots don't shut their mouths..." said Zain with a growl. Meaning Roger and Percy.

"SHUT UP!" both Lizzy and Johnson yells, making the both of them quiet in shock. Johnson usually love being in the thick of an argument, and Lizzy is quiet a whole lot often.

"Finally..." Billy said quietly. He doesn't want any dinos to hear them, if they haven't yet.

Snapping to attention, Rose looks in the direction she heard some rustling. She glances at the other two raptors.

They haven't heard it, as it looks like.

Rose looks back at the bushes, standing up to a crouch. She continues to be silent as she can, watching intently and ready to fight...

Another egg-stealing dino pokes his head out of the bushes, not noticing Rose at all as he steps forward. Eggs of velocipraptors on the troodon's mind. Rose isn't going to let him get any - her own life is on those eggs.

'Be patiant, be calm, be still...' she commands herself as the thing comes closer. She can barely believe that her body is so still, her heart slow and steady, that the troodon didn't give any notice to her. When it nearly walked by her completely, she takes action - leaping and taking it down from behind, its head and neck in her hands.

It squeals as it struggles. By now, the two velociraptors came over to investigate. They find their newly added pack member attacking another egg-stealing creature. Instead of helping, though, they wait. Watching how she will do.

As the troodon continue to struggle against Rose, scratching her many times in the arms with its claws. Gritting her teeth and making a quick snap of her arms, she cracks the troodon's neck, killing it instantly. She sit there a bit shocked (and slightly horrified), realizing that she killed it.

'Oh gawd...'

Feeling one of the raptor's nudging her, she looks at it, finding that he's growling in approval.

"Good hunt."

Nodding to show that she acknowledges his compliment, she watches the two of them drag the new meal to the clearing, the sound of ripping soon heard.

'...It... was bound to happen eventually... And... I will need to start hunting in order to eat,' Rose thought, though her face is still a bit grim as she remains sitting on the ground, deciding that she is just going to continue be on watch. She's too sick to her stomach, even if she is hungry.

"We're not finding anything..." Kyle said as the afternoon start to set over the island.

"It does take a little while," said Billy. "We should take a break everyone!"

The others doesn't argue as they begin to pull their jeeps to a stop and get out. For the many hours, all they found along the search is some herbivore dinos. They hope to find something very soon...

"Ya know, ya'd think we would have found at least a small piece of metal from the plane," Roger comments as he pulls out a carotin and take a swing at it. Billy suspects it's some sort of booze. "Like a wing, or somethin'."

"Well, this is the isle of the dinos, so maybe they dragged the broken-off stuff around," said Kyle thoughtfully.

"The only species smart enough for that would be the raptors," Billy said with his eyes narrowed slightly. "And they're not that strong to do such a thing." Kyle must have seen Billy's face, he immediately fall silent around Billy.

"What'zat??" Mily suddenly says after about twenty minutes or so passed, pointing to something that moved in the bushes. Johnson snaps his gun towards it and takes a shot at it before anyone can say or do anything.

"John!!"

"What if that was a person?!"

"It waz'nt," Johnson said as he steps towards the area and pushes the bushes aside, grabbing ahold of a tail and dragging out a tiny cousin of the velociraptor-

"A compsognathus!" Billy said as Johnson tosses the thing in the middle of the campsite.

"That's one small dino," Percy comments, moving it with his gun to get a better look at it.

"I certainly hope that this isn't all we're facing," said Johnson with a look of disgust; he wants a challenge.

"It isn't," Billy said gravely. They all look at him, and they can tell that he isn't kidding.

With all that said, they quietly eat their small meal before packing up and heading off once more through the depths of the jungle.

'It is nice that this river is slow current and without any man-eating fish...' Rose thought as she wades into the water. The raptors long since returned, enjoying the two meals - one they caught and the kill she made. A couple of them turn their attention to her, chirping nervously. They never enter the water themselves, being that they lack the proper equipment to swim, much less stay afloat. She gives a very small smile as she goes further into the river, until she is waist-deep. At this, she stops and crouches down, getting wet thoroughly.

'It is... COLD...' she thought as she sucks it up and ducks her head under the surface. She pops right back up two seconds later, her teeth chattering loudly. 'Gah, how can these waters be so cold... We are in the middle of a humid jungle.'

She sighs as she gets used to the temperature of the water, finally finding it okay once she start to scrub at her hair. Soap or no soap, she at least wants the dirt out of it...

'It will be a long while for me to get used to being part of the pack...' she said in her head as she looks over at the raptors. Her apparent new family. '...But maybe it will not be bad... Even if their cousins killed my real family...' She shivers as she drags herself out of the water, sitting on the warmest rock there is around the nesting grounds. 'But all-in-all... I hope that I will not remain here for the rest of my life.'
