Chapter 4
(Nick's pov)
Julian was showing Ryan how to fly and so far...he's getting the hang of it.
"Okay, Ryan. You know what to do."
Ryan raised his arms and started flapping his wings.
"That's it. Now get a good momentum and jump."
Ryan did just that and flew almost off the cage. He lands next to me and I was surprised to see him land perfectly.
"Way to go, Ryan. Keep that up and you'll be a master at flying."
Give the kid some slack. He's at least 2 years younger than Jack and he's a quick learner.
"Squawk! Thanks, Mom."
That's new. I never heard Ryan talk like this. Must be the genes from the Pterodactyl.
"Me talk to Ryan now?" Jack asked me.
"Let me ask him."
I walked towards Julian as Jack waited.
"Julian. Is it okay if Ryan talks to Jack?"
"Sure. Let's just hope Ryan doesn't freak out cause of Jack's change of a appearance."
"I hope he doesn't either."
I gestured Jack to come with me as Julian had Ryan come with her.
"Ryan. This is Jack. You remember, right?" Julian said.
Ryan looks at Jack curiously as Jack did the same.
"Jack?"
Jack nods.
"Yes. Me Jack."
"Really? You sound funny..."
"Ryan!" Me and Julian said at the same time.
"Sorry..."
Jack just chuckled as he patted Ryan on the head.
"It's okay. Me forgive you."
"Hold still, Ryan. I got to put this on your neck." I said as I strapped a tracker on Ryan's neck.
"What is it?"
"It's a tracker, sweetie. We keep on track on you if you wander too far."
Jack looks at me like he was going to go in a rant.
"Don't give me that look, Jack. Ryan is too young and is not aware of his surroundings of the jungle."
Jack looked like he was going to say something but I stopped him.
"Don't start. You're older than him and you can take care of yourself. Ryan is still a kid. Do me a favor, Jack. If Ryan wants to go in the jungle, please keep an eye on him. I don't want the poor kid getting hurt."
"Me promise." He said with a huff.
"Good. Just be sure he do-"
Jane's scream was heard from the distance.
"Mama!" Jack shouted as he ran full speed to where he hears the scream.
I caught up with Jack as he was wrestling with a Spinosaurus. Jack had the upper hand and starts throwing the Spinosaurus with Judo throws that I used teach him when he was 12 years old. His throws were perfect. So perfect it got the Spinosaurus dazed and Jack finishes it off with a giant swing throw. The Spinosaurus gets thrown at a tree. It gets up trying to gain his balance but Jack grabs it by the throat.
"If me ever catch try to get near my Mama, Me kill you!"
Jack loves Jane and his rage right proved his point that you don't mess with his family or he will kill you. Jack throws the Spinosaurus away from him and the Spinosaurus runs away in fear.
"Thank you, Jack. Thank you." Jane said as she starts crying.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"Yes...That Spinosaurus tried to kill me. Thank god for Jack's speed otherwise I would be killed."
Yeah...thank god for that.
Jack got next to Jane and starts consoling her.
"Shhh...it's okay. You safe. Me here." Jack said as he hugged Jane.
"Thanks, Jack."
That must've been the same Spinosaurus I saw in the monitors. Heh...who would've thought?
After hours of calming Jane down, Jack went to his pack and I had to stay with Jane. I had a chat with Geoff about the Spinosaurus I showed him in the monitors.
"You think that was the same Spinosaurus from the monitors?"
"Has to be. That thing had a grudge on Jack when he took it's prey."
"That's rather childish." Geoff said.
"No kidding. Jack might plan on killing it as revenge."
"Perhaps you didn't hear what Jack just said. He warned it not go near Jane and if it did, Jack would kill it."
"Oh..."
"Jack was angry at it. So angry, he did some Judo throws and a giant swing throw to knock some sense in it."
"Wow..."
"Yeah. Jack loves his family and will risk his life to protect us."
"You have a brave son. If Ryan becomes Jack's age, I'll teach him how to fight."
"I'll help you if you ever need it."
"Thanks."
I hope he's a quick learner like Jack.
