"Oh come one! Can't we go now!" Lucas whined, staring at the metal fences that surrounded us.

"Oh quit your whining. How old do you think you are?" My mother lectured.

"I am embarrassed that you are even my brother." Tasha said "Kids when you all grow up don't learn from you uncle Lucas."

"Hey!" Lucas growled, " I'm the perfect adult Raptor for them to idolize."

At the moment, Lynn snorted, Lucas turned to glare her and the two started to argue back and forth. I swear, as entertaining as it is to watch those two argue, some peace and quite would be much appreciated right now.

"You're pretty quiet over there little bro." Tama looked over at my direction.

"I'm enjoying the free entertainment that the couple is supplying us and

patiently waiting for the right moment." I answered simply.

"Sure little bro." Lexus smirked in my direction, "You sure you are not thinking of your human."

I did not answer but chucked a pebble at both my elder brothers. Unfortunately, I missed both my mark.

"Lucus, if you can't control yourself any longer, be my guest and go ahead and try to escape." I supplied, breaking up the arguing duo.

"Fine! I shall." Lucus replied, walking away from Lynn and towards the gate. When did the two argue until they were literally face to face? Oh well, everybody watched Lucus with both excitement and apprehension.

"Ow! Well we did not see that coming." Lucas complained, as he had been the first one to try to get pass the fence but ended up getting a small shock instead.

"What do we do now son?" my mother asked, looking at me.

"We wait." I answered, I don't now why I said that but my gut feeling was telling me that the electricity would be off soon. After another tense thirty minutes that felt like forever, I nodded at Lynn who picked up a twig and threw it at the fence. When the twig hit the fence and was not fried, everyone cheered. Quickly and swiftly, we dug a hole through the metal fence and made our long anticipated escape.

We ran through the surroundings cautiously, we weren't stupid. We knew that there were other dinosaurs like the T-rex on the island and they were free, along with us. We had to quickly mark our territory and set up a new nesting area.

After running through an unknown forested area, I found the place perfect to use as our nesting site, there was plenty of prey in the area and water was available nearby. I barked orders for everyone to settle down but still be cautious for any intruders.

"Mother. I will go scent mark our territory and go find my human." I said to my mother.

"Alright. Come back soon." My mother replied. I nodded before running off into the thick vegetation again. I quickly scent marked the tress, bushes and logs with the end of my tail to mark the whole area as mine so that most intruders, with the occasional exception of the T-rex, will keep away.

With that done, I lifted my head and inhaled deeply. I sorted the whole mess of scents and was able to pinpoint my human's scent. With a smile, I took off in her direction. I just could not wait to introduce her to the rest of my family and pack.

"We're too late." Hammond said in a hushed voice.

"Sorry about that boss." Arnold said.

"No. It is not your fault. Where is Rae?" Hammond asked.

"I radioed her as well but I guess the brat is still asleep." Robert answered.

"Robert, Josh, go bring back by my guests and grandchildren please. On your way, go call Rae as well." Hammond instructed. The half and hour time period was over and the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park were on the loose.

"Yes sir." Josh answered.

" Don't worry sir. We will bring them back safe and sound." Robert assured Hammond as he and Josh turned to leave the room.

Dormitories, Rae's Pov

There is something wet running down my cheek. Did I forget to close the window? Groaning, I sleepily wiped the water that was on my face. Why was this water sticky?

"WAH…..!" I screamed, when I saw a raptor hovering over me upon opening my eyes. I threw my blanket at the raptor in hopes of blinding it temporarily so I could make a break for it. I ripped the headphones from my eyes and scrambled out of the bed while the raptor was still lost in the blanket.

I dashed towards my desk where I locked my pistol in one of the drawers but suddenly my legs got tangled up in the wires that littered the room. OMPH! OW! I fell face first onto the floor, my nose must be flattened by the impact as it hurt like hell. Rolling over, I looked at my feet and they were extremely tangled so I quickly reached down and tried to untangle my legs but it was too late, the raptor had managed to find its way out of the blanket and it was advancing on me.

Panicking, I gave up trying to untangle my legs and looked around for anything to protect myself with. I saw a stick in the other corner of the room behind the raptor; there was no way I could reach that. The raptor now right above me and I just grabbed whatever was nearest to me.

"Stay Back! I'm armed!" I cried, sticking my hands up with the item I had grabbed. The raptor just looked down at my hands and snorted as he sniffed at the item in my hands. I could not blame him; I too would have snorted at the item I had grabbed, it was a stuffed bear.

The raptor seemed to have come to a conclusion and took a big bite from the bear, taking off its head, making me scream and stare in shock at it chewed. It then suddenly made a choking noise and spat out the bear head before spluttering out the fluff that was stuck on its tongue.

"Hahahahaha…" I could not help myself and laughed at the face of the raptor, never did I ever expect a fearsome creature like the raptor to have such emotions and actions. The raptor seemed to have finished its gagging and turned it attention back at me, making me choke on my own laughter. Damn me! I just had to laugh at it, making it remember that I was here. Stupid me.

I could not do anything but tremble in fear as the raptor bent down and sniffed me. That was when I realized that there was something very familiar with this raptor, the coloring and the look in its eyes.

"Big One?" I asked, looking the raptor straight in the eye and to my surprise, it nodded.

"Wow! You understand me?" I exclaimed and she nodded before licking me on the face.

"What are you doing here?" I questioned, gently pushing her off me so I could detangle my legs. Don't ask me why I am so calm suddenly but I have spent five years knowing this raptor and she has not shown me any aggression at all in all those years, so yea.

"Stupid wires! Argh!" I grumbled, still trying to get my legs out of the mass of wires but it seems to be useless. Big One cooed as she examined my legs before raising a sharp claw and cut through the wires.

"Whoa!" I cried as the lights went out suddenly, leaving the two of us in the dark, That was not suppose to happen, I may not have all the electronic knowledge but I don't think any of those wires were connected to the lights.

Getting up from the floor, I blindly felt my way around my room to look for a torchlight that I know is somewhere on the self above my bed. Once I found it and turned it on, I went to find my walkie. All this time, Big One just watched me move around, I suppose her cat-like eyes allow her to see well in the dark.

"AH!" I yelled when I finally found my walkie, it seemed to have dropped onto the ground when I tripped and the antenna was broken. How was I supposed to call for any help now? Oh yea, Josh!

But first a change of clothes. I inched my way in the dark with my torch to the cupboard and pulled out a fresh uniform. Quickly, I changed clothes despite the raptor in my room that was observing me; I mean she is a girl, though of a different species but its okay.

"Hey Girl, could you stay here while I go get Josh?" I asked Big One who for some reason looked highly offended and roared in anger. Okay… she did not want to be left here alone, my walkie is spoilt and I really need to get to Josh and get Big One home before Robert finds out. Should I take the risk and bring her out into the corridor with me? Sigh, it seems there is no other way.

"Come one girl, let's go find Josh." I called out to Big One who looked half happy and half angry. Oh well, she is a tough one to please. I popped my head out of my door to look down the corridor to see if anyone was up and about. There must be power trip of some kind as the whole building was out of power, so using my torchlight, I shined down the corridor. Seeing no one, I stepped out and motioned to Big One to follow me and the two of us walked to Josh's door.

"Hey Josh! Josh! Joshy Boy! JOSH!" I yelled and banging on his door but there was no reply. Argh, now what? There is no power, no Josh and if from the sounds I am hearing, it is raining cats and dogs out there, what am I to do with the Raptor that came to visit me in my room? I stared hard at Big One who just stared back equally hard.

Coming to a conclusion to bring her back by myself, I walked back to my room and Big One just followed me like a shadow. Once back inside my room, I got all my other necessary items, hunting knife, pistol and my ever-present packet of gum. After that, I pulled on my raincoat and boots before attaching my broken walkie, I could always go and get it fixed after dropping of Big One back in her enclosure.

"Let's go." I said to the raptor in my room and the two of us left.

Sorin's Pov

I took ten minutes to reach this huge thing that I believe is the human's nesting area. I cautiously made my inside, unsure if there were any other human inside. I had little difficulty locating my human's nest but a wall of grey blocked me.

I thought of ramming through the wall but that would no doubt attract unwanted attention so I looked a little closer at this stupid obstacle. I then noticed that there was a sliver rod attached to the grey wall and I stuck out a claw hand to press it down gently.

Yes! Success! The grey wall opened at one side and I could enter my human's nesting site. Inside, it was pretty large with many weird things that I could see no use of. My human was in one corner of this square shaped nesting site in her nest that really looked very soft. There were no other nest in site and that made me very happy and worried at the same time. She had no male with her but where was her family? Why weren't they sharing a nesting site with her?

Pushing those thought aside, I stood over and watched my mate as she slept. She looked so peaceful even though she was all alone with no protection. I did not realize I was panting from all the excitement of the past hour or so and some of my saliva was dripping onto my mate's face. This seemed to wake her up and upon opening her eyes, all I saw was her screaming in fear before being blinded by some covering.

I struggled with whatever was blocking my vision while my mate continued to scream followed by a cry of pain. I quickly scrambled to remove the thing blinding my vision and I scanned the surroundings to seek out the threat to my mate. All I saw was my mate lying on her back on the ground with both her legs tangled up in some weird looking vines. Why was her nesting site so unsafe?

Looking at my mate's fearful face, I decided to help her out of those vines but as I advanced on her, she became even more frightened for some reason and shoved a creature of some kind. Was she offering me food? Oh well, since she is offering I might as well take the chance and try out human food so I took off the creature's head. I chewed my large mouthful and this creature tastes disgusting! I quickly spat out the food and gagged to get rid of the strange and dry tasting meat that stuck to my tongue. All the while, I could hear my mate laughing. How could they even find this appetizing?

Once I finished getting rid of the taste on my tongue, I looked down at my mate who was still on her back on the ground. I started to check her for any injuries when she suddenly asked if it was really me, making me nod in return, Of course its me! Who else would it be? Next she asked if I could really understand her, making me nod again before licking her since I did not see any other injuries. Why does she seem so amazed? I could understand human language after all it is pretty easy.

My mate then pushed at my chest, signaling that she wanted to get up so I moved off her. However, she seemed to have forgotten that her legs were tangled in the vines and only realized it as she tried to get up. She then tried to detangle her legs but was unable to. Being a helpful mate, I took one sharp claw and cut through the vines around her legs.

Suddenly the lights went out causing my mate to cry in alarm. She slowly got up and blindly made her way in the dark, looking for something. Humans could not see in the dark? I did not know that, I see totally fine. She fumbled around before finding what she was looking after and there was a beam of light coming from the strange object that she held.

I do not know what that thing was but it seems to help my mate to find her black talking thing on the ground, you know, the one that other peoples voices could be heard. Once she found it, she examined it and was upset that it was broken. I wish I could help her fix it but I had no idea what it was.

After standing still in the dark for a short period, my mate went to change her second skin. I really do not see the use of having so many useless second skins when they do not have any purpose in keeping you warm or anything else. Anyway, once she was done she turned and called me a girl.

A GIRL? What part of me is a girl? Is she blind or something? How long has she thought me to be a girl? OMG… this is a nightmare! My mate thinks I am a girl! I could not contain my anger and I roared right in her face, causing her to become silent.

She then mentioned about going to find some other human named Josh. Who the hell was that? Scratch that, I do not even want to bother to know since whoever it was, I am going to just kill it and take my mate with me but since we were finally going to leave this nesting site, I just kept my mouth shut.

We made our way out of her nesting site and she went to one of the other grey walls that had the silver bar. My mate then started to bang on this wall while shouting for this Josh human and she did not receive any reply. Well goody for me, no hassle to take care of.

Once my mate realized that this Josh was not at its nesting site she gave up and went back to her own nesting site. What? Argh, we were making progress were we not? Why did she go back to her own nesting site? Was she having second thoughts of leaving with me?

I trailed after her back to her nesting site and saw her pull on yet another layer of skin. How many layers of those useless things does she want to pull on? Along with that she also put one some kind of covering on her feet, okay that I could understand since her feet without that looked pretty soft and easily damaged.

Once she was done with getting ready, she finally said that words that I had been waiting for. Finally! We were leaving this human nesting site and going back to mine. Luck was surely on my side, since this whole thing was going smoothly, no other humans to stop my mate and I from leaving. Of course the problem with my own mate thinking me to be a girl will have to be corrected as soon and as fast as possible.
