Chapter 8

A trilling sound awakens the slumbering human, jerking her awake to see a few raptors looking at her. In confusion, she sits up from where she dozed off at, patting her egg to make sure that it's still there.

Shaking even more urgently, the egg bounces under her hands. Gasping, Rose looks down at the egg with wide eyes.

'It's hatching??' Picking it up as gently as she could, she gets to the small nest and places it inside, sitting herself on the ground and watching it closely. She can see cracks forming all over the egg slouwly but surely, as well as can hear much tapping from inside. After some minutes, the top of the egg starts to push open.

Gingerly, Rose starts to pull the shell away, but trying to let the creature to get out itself. She knows that if a creature couldn't get out of its own shelled-womb, then it's a high possibility that it wouldn't survive very long.

A dull beak starts to push the shell away from itself as the creature starts to show what it is. Rose gasps as a newborn dimorphodon finally tumbles out of the shell. Squeaking, it looks around for either its mother or food. When Rose moves slightly, the dimorphodon looks up at her. The two of them watches one another for a few minutes, Rose at a loss of words and the creature trying to decide if the human is its mother or not. Giving a soft squeak, the barely-feathered creature tries to move to get closer to Rose as the squeaks become more urgent.

"Oh no... What do you eat??" Rose said mostly to herself, realizing that she doesn't know what dimorphadons eat. She was starting to panic until she hears more squeaks from above. Looking up, she can see that the parents are busy flying back and forth between a bush patch and the nests, taking something with them each time.

Calming down, Rose gently picks up the nest and slowly walks to the bushes. The only times that she stopped is when a dimorphodon or so flies around the area then back. She's trying to not scare the birds off, since they also need to the food to feed their young ones.

Settling near a bush that has been overlooked, Rose reaches forward and grabs something that looks like a cherry, but smaller and a bit blue instead of red. Looking up at the parents again, she can see that their feeling the young ones with the same things, whole.

Holding out the berry to the one in the nest, she is surprised that it didn't hurt her as it lunges forward and clamps onto the berry and her fingers. Gently prying its beak apart to pull her fingers away, she manages to give the creature the berry. It became easier to feed the thing as it learns that it has to take the berry instead of biting onto the fingers and the food at the same time.

"Such a smart bugger..." Rose said quietly as it finally has gotten full. Struggling to move closer to Rose, she helps the dimorphodon to the edge of the nest gently and places her hand on top of the creature, since it seem that it wants to be constantly touched. Calming down, it almost instantly fell asleep. Rose looks over her shoulder to see the raptors watching her closely, even Okaa. It must be a strange sight, indeed, even for the raptors.

'Well... I hope that they do not target this little one as something to eat...' she thought to herself as she settles herself more to be comfortable, since she's going to have to be around the creature almost 24/7. And she doesn't seem to even mind the idea.

"This is the island of Hell..."

"Shut it, Roger…"

Lizzy hasn't moved from the jeep ever since she and Kyle survived that attack, while Kyle is trying hard to get her spirits back up. But it's rather useless, unless she responds to anything...

"C'mon, this is just insane to keep looking... as it is, there's no one left alive, not on this island. And we already lost two of our members."

"Shut up, shut UP!" Lizzy cries as she turns her hardened-eyes on Roger. "My sister is on this island, and she's alive!! And we're going to keep looking until we find her!"

"She's been done for like the rest of the people from the plane the SECOND they crashed here! Look at the damn facts, Liz, because she couldn't last out here for five minutes!"

Only by being held back by Billy and Kyle that Lizzy didn't attack Roger for his words.

"Everyone, CHILL," Billy said sternly as he glares at Roger. "You shut the hell up, Roger, since you're not helping matters at all. You're making things worse."

"Feh…"

"And Lizzy, you need to calm down a little. We're not giving up on your sister anytime soon. Dead or alive, we're going to find her."

Lizzy nods her head a little, already feeling exhausted from all her pint-up rage and the outburst towards Roger.

"Now then…" Leaving Kyle to the task of keeping Lizzy calm, Billy walks to the second jeep that they had returned to from yesterday. After the incident with Percy, they're keeping their distance from any herds for now. It was the map that he's wanting, and he quickly unearths it from the rubble of the jeep's content, unfolding it and looking at the trails. "I think that we should take our camp to the abandoned theme park that Dr. John Hammond had created for the original purpose of bringing the dinos back to life. It's a better chance than being out here in the open. It shows here a long-downed electric fencing, so we should be able to get across it and to the park."

"So what would happen if the fence is actually operating well?" Zain asks as he raises an eyebrow at Billy. That is a big question.

"Then I guess we're screwed and have to keep lookin' until we find an opening in the fence," Billy replies. "C'mon, let's get moving so we don't become part of the food chain here."

"Amen to that…" Kyle whispers as Mily climbs into the jeep with Lizzy and Kyle, starting it up and taking off in a slow pace after Billy started the other jeep, him, Roger and Zain taking the lead to perhaps their only hope of survival.

About five days passes as Rose watched the progress of her newly-acquired dimorphodon, Levine's growth (yeah, she finally got around to naming the creature). His flight feathers started to grow in as his frame becomes larger and much lighter. But he's still small enough to fit into her hands perfectly, so he isn't ready for any flights yet.

"Keep growing like this, and you would be about as big as the young raptors," Rose said to the creature as Levine hops out of her hands and on top of a raptor, the both of them squawking out of surprise. She laughs as she picks up the dimorphodon before he could start trying to run away, cuddling him to her to soothe the creature. He gives off a slight sound of a purr as his trembling calms down. "Good Levine, good bird." Smiling, she lets him down on the ground again, and in an instant, he hops after a young raptor, ready to play.

'A strange sight for everyone… A bird playing with a lizard,' Rose thought with a giggle. The few days, the young raptors had tried to eat Levine, but luckily for the bird, Okaa and the other raptors managed to make the younglings understand that Levine is part of the pack, even if he is different from themselves. Rose can at least finally wonder off from the nesting grounds without fear of returning and finding a small bundle of feathers in place of the dimorphodon…

Shrieks and trills from afar catches Rose's attention, as well as some of the other raptors. Rose learnt to recognize the sounds of a raptor calling for help. On her feet, Rose looks to Okaa for any orders for her, and she finds that she's going to go answer the cry with the pack, while three raptors remains behind. Nodding, Rose follows the pack into the depths of the jungle.

"Get the raptors before they can attack us again!!" Kyle cries as they try to evade the lone raptors they had encountered on their journey to the theme park. There is three raptors, and they are hungry for meat.

"Shit, jus' as things were goin' our way…" Roger said as he tries to load up his rifle, but finding it difficult as his hands keeps jumping whenever he almost has a bullet in the slot. They had found the fencing about three days ago and crossed over it (with difficulty, but they still made it), and they were traveling at a gas-saving pace until the raptors jumped them from above…

"Enough of jabbering, fire the damn rifle!!" Zain yells as he fires his handgun at one raptor that aimed to attack him. It detours from its attack path and aims for Mily instead.

"Come and get some!" Mily cries out as she fires off a almost-impossible movements of firing two rounds within five seconds, scoring more than ten shots in the calves and the chest, making the raptor scream out in pain as it runs to the side. The second raptor covers the injured pack member, hissing in anger at Mily and Zain as they trained their guns on them.

"Don't kill them if you can help it, guys," Billy said as the raptors stopped their advances, crying out sometimes and hissing. "Raptors defend their pack's honor, and they kill for the death of any of their pack members…"

"Tell that to them," Zain said with a snarl. He has it up to his ears with the attacks of the dinosaurs…

"When they cry like that, doesn't that call for more raptors??" Kyle said in a near whisper as the injured raptor starts to cry out with vocal-shrieks.

"It does…"

"Then let's get the hell out of here!" Roger said, in the fact that it's the absolute REASONABLE answer to the situation.

"Our gas is running low, dimwit… We wouldn't get very far…" Mily said as she backs up to one jeep, reloading her lugers. "Unless the theme park is nearby, we won't be able to make it!"

"What'll we do, then?!"

"Guys, more raptors are comin'!!" Kyle said in a panic. In that instant, he's already trying to climb the nearest tree, but failing, as it is that all the vines on the tree is too weak to support him…

"Stay calm!!" Finally loaded, Roger takes his stance in front of the group as more raptors swarms in from the sides. Hissing and snarling at the humans, the raptors surrounds them as a few aids to the injured raptor.

"What now?" Mily whispers to Billy as they grow into a tighter formation.

"We have to get to higher grounds, which means that we have to climb the trees and get out of reach," Billy answers just as quietly.

"Damn raptors…" Lizzy growls at the raptors as she sweeps her gun side-to-side, keeping them from moving in on them without getting shot first if and when she's to open fire. She hates them with a passion, considering that it was the velociraptors that had killed her and Rose's family. And even though it wasn't on this island, she wants a small thing of revenge…

"That does it!" Roger cries out as he points his rifle up at the closest raptor, unlocking the safety lock.

"Roger, no!!" Billy cries just as Roger opened-fire. The raptor cries out in sheer pain as it falls to the ground, almost instantly dead from the open-wound in the chest, right at his heart. The raptors instantly respond as they charge in from all sides.

"Fuck!!!" Zain backs to the tree as he open-fires on the raptors with his own rifle, taking out about two of them at two times when they leaped at him. They all were wounded, but not dead.

"Get back, now!!" Billy pushes Kyle to the tree next to them and pushes him up the vines, at least finding them able to hold the weight this time. "C'mon Lizzy!!!"

"ARRGGH!!" Lizzy finds herself pinned down to the ground by Roger as he was pushed backwards and tripped over something on the ground. Roger is instantly pulled into the air by one raptor, another one grabbing hold of one of his limbs and pulling him apart, his screams lifting into the air.

Coming onto the sight after mending some of the wounds on the fallen raptor, Rose's eyes widens as she spots Lizzy on the ground.

"Lizzy…?" In realization, Rose rushes forward as Okaa steps forward and lifts her clawed foot to slam it onto her sister. "Stop!!" Rose steps in front of the raptor before she could attack, instead slamming it into the ground right in front of Rose. Hissing in anger, Okaa shoves her muzzle into Rose's shoulder, trying to shove her to the side. "No, you cannot kill her!!"

"Rose?!" Lizzy turns her head to look up at Rose, trying to ignore Roger's screaming. "Rose, move out of the way, it'll kill you!!"

"Okaa, no, she is my sister!!" Rose said as she tries to stop Okaa's muzzle from shoving into her shoulder's muscles, since it's hurting her. Grabbing onto the raptors' neck, Rose buries her face into Okaa's shoulder. "She's my sister…" Tears is starting to run down her face as she tries to make the raptor understand her, try to make her realize that the woman is important to Rose. "Don't kill her..."

Her hisses calms as Okaa catches the scent of something salty running down Rose's face. Crooning, the raptor nuzzles the human-member of the pack in her hair, trying to calm her down while confused of what the human is upset about.

"The hell...?" Billy stares at the oddest complexion of the decade, as does Lizzy and the others.

"Rose...??" Lizzy tries to move up, but in that instant, Okaa hisses as she snaps her head over Rose's shoulder, staring Lizzy down with a hard glare. Turning her head to look at the currently-dead corpse of Roger, Okaa sniffs the body before sneezing. Then she turns her attention back on Lizzy, glaring again as she lowers her head enough to catch the humans' scent.

"What's going on...?" Mily said quietly.

"I... I think that Lizzy's sister somehow... became part of the pack..."

Narrowing her eyes, Okaa is even more of a state of confusion. She can smell similarities between her adopted pack member and the human that the pack member is protecting. Nuzzling into Rose's hair again, Okaa definitely can tell that they are of the same kind of pack. A family pack.

Chittering at the other raptors, Okaa calls to them to retreat. With disarray, the pack slowly turns away, taking with them the injured raptors and their new-found meat for the young raptors. Okaa steps away from Rose, giving the human space.

Calming down, Rose opens her eyes and looks to Okaa. She's silently saying 'Thank you...' over and over in gratitude.

"Rose?" Lizzy manages to get Rose's attention, making her turn around and look at her sister.

"Lizzy..." Her eyes wavers slightly as she watches Lizzy finally sit up. Taking a deep breath in hopes of loosening her tight chest, Rose's face takes on a slight sad look. "I... I am very happy to be able to see you... I almost did not believe Johnson's words..."

"Johnson??" Lizzy looks a bit confused. "So... the raptors you're with..."

"Yeah... They killed him while I was trying to get away from him..."

"Get away?" When she thought that her eyes weren't wide enough, they widen even further.

"He... tried to have his way with me... So after the killing, my pack have became exceptionally uneasy about other humans after that... It is a sheer miracle that I could get Okaa to understand me..." She looks down to the ground. "Though I wish I could have gotten here sooner to save that man..."

"Rose, it's alright. Just come with us, we've been looking for you and any other survivors," Lizzy said as she stands up, extending her hand to Rose.

Looking at Lizzy's hand, Rose almost reached forward to grab it. But she hesitates and pulls back when she almost got close.

"I... I cannot..." Returning her vision to the ground, Rose can feel more tears running down her cheeks. "I am the only survivor from the crash... And I cannot leave my pack and Levine behind..."

"Levine?? What nonsense are you talking about?!" Lizzy demands. "You belong with society, with people!" Lizzy lunges forward with an outstretched hand, and only because of Okaa yanking Rose out of reach did Lizzy miss.

"I belong with what I believe what I belong to... And I believe that I belong with the pack." Rose looks in her sister's eyes. Okaa growls as she releases her hold on Rose's top, hissing softly at Lizzy.

"Rose... Don't do this."

"It is too late, Lizzy... I cannot return to society when I had died from it long ago. Where would I exactly live at...?"

"You would've lived with me and your nieces! Don't you know how worried sick we were about you when we learnt you crash-landed on this cursed island?? We're your family, dammit!"

"...And the raptors are, as well..." Getting tugged by the hair, Rose turns to look at Okaa, who lowers herself slightly to the ground. Rose immediately climbs on without question. "I am happy to at least see you again, Lizzy... Maybe I will return to society one day..."

"Rose, no!!" Lizzy rushes forward, but Okaa has already sprung to action, taking off in the direction of the nest. Rose looks back to see Lizzy fall to her knees. "SISTER!!!"

"Rose, come back!" Mily yells out as she tries to give chase, but it's futile, as Okaa is much faster than any of them. Rose turns her head and leans forward, wrapping her arms around Okaa's neck firmly to keep herself from falling off.

'I couldn't choose over the pack... I am sorry, Lizzy...' Tears continue to spill from her eyes as Rose hangs onto Okaa as best she can while the raptor runs at full-speed. Possibly never to see Lizzy or her friend, Mily, again.

Another death of a search party and a very sad departure between the two sisters. Can the drama keep going?? XD Of course, though! But the drama can't happen without some great danger to something, eh? Grins I'm very pleased with this chapter, and I certainly hope that I will be able to keep typing this fanfic. Considering what I was having a slump about has FINALLY cleared and even gave me a happy ending, I should be able to keep going now:) See ya all next chapter, AND DON'T FORGET TO REVIEW PLEASE!! D
