Rae's Pov

It was ten plus at night, the weather was just horrible, this storm was a killer! I could barely make out what was one metre in front of me! Gripping my hood above my head, I forced my way blindly while trying not to get blown away by the gushing winds. Big One was walking besides me; the weather did not seem to bother her at all. Lucky dog, well raptor in this case.

Finally, we reached the cross-junction that lead to either the visitors' centre & staff centre or the carnivores'' enclosures or the open enclosures where we house the herbivores.

"Alright. Come on, we are almost there girl." I shouted over the pounding rain and winds. I headed to the left towards the carnivores' enclosures when suddenly she blocked my path.

"What? Big One now ain't the time to play or anything. Let's get you home and me back to bed." I said but she did not budge. I tried to go around her but was stopped by her tail.

"Girl! I'm being serious here! You can't stay outside here! Let's get you home!" I yelled, getting a little irritated. I made to step around her but this time she grabbed me with her teeth and threw me gently towards the right path, towards the open enclosures.

"Shit! Come one girl, I'm in no mood to play with you or the triceratops. Let me pass and get you home." I snapped, sitting up, my mood getting from bad to worse. Big One just stared back hard at me before pointing her head towards the open enclosures.

"No! You CANNOT go there!" I yelled but it seemed to have fallen on deaf ears because suddenly I found myself being dragged by the leg. Crap!

"Hey Big One! No! Let go! Now! Oi! Shoot! My radio!" I yelled and scramble to get back my radio but she was stronger and I ended but being dragged away with no means of calling for help. I mean let's face it. Even if I did scream until my lungs and throat bled, no one would be able to hear me over this crazy storm. So I let myself get dragged away.

Of course not! I struggled but she had a good grip on my pants, I got smacked in the face like a billion times by the vegetation, knocked my head and arms on about the same amount fallen logs and small pebbles. I kicked and struggled but that just ended up with me getting more bruises. Then as sudden as she had grabbed me, she stopped.

"Owwiee…" I groaned, trying to get myself into order when I noticed that we were not alone. Joining us were a whole bunch of other raptors. Oh Crap. I was about to become dinner. How stupid was I to have put my trust in a raptor. Now I was about to pay the price.

My mate was hilariously trying to keep her footing as we walked towards our new home. I would admit that the weather was not very friendly but I was as happy as I could ever be. My baby was actually willing to follow me to our new home. I was so exhilarated that I did not notice that she was heading towards the enclosure. When I did, I quickly cut her off.

However, she did not seem to be very pleased about that and asked me to move aside. So cute! Did she think that we were still going to stay in that hellhole under the human alpha's male control, when we can be out here in a more open space! When she tried to move pass me, I stuck out my tail to block her path. Could she not tell that this was not the direction that I wanted her to take but she just got angrier and shouted at me to stop playing. I threw her gently in the correct direction, trying to tell her that I had not intention to play right now. Why would she ever think that? Unless… she was actually going to…

I could not believe it! My mate did not actually want to go with me. She thought that I had just simply escaped from the large metal cage owned by her alpha and now she was going to bring me back there! Was she going to leave me once she brought me back there? I would not stand for it, after 5 years of waiting to finally be with my mate! I lunged forward, grabbing a whole of her leg and took off in the direction of the new nests. I ignored her cries of protest. I did not want to hear anything; all I knew was that I was not going to let her go.

It took about ten minutes to reach the nest. Our entrance caught everyone's attention and they all crowded around here, curiously and some even cautiously. My mate slowly recovered from my less than polite treatment, but I had no choice, and she took a look around her before shouting and backing away from my pack that crowded around her.

Rae's Pov

F***! Oh bloody crap! Where was my gun? I fumbled while keeping my eyes on the raptors that had surrounded me. Oh what a genius I was to think that I could make friends with a raptor! My gun! It was not there! My blood ran cold, oh crap, I was in deep shit right now. I sincerely hope that my death would be fast and painless. I am sorry for all the pranks and things that I will not be able to do now.

I sat there with my eyes crunched for what felt like an eternity for the feeling of needle sharp needles to pierce through my flesh but it never happened. Cautiously, I opened them to see that circle of raptors had went about to do their own things. Ooo….okaaaaaaay… I was so not expecting that. What ever happened to cold-blooded hunters?

I blinked a few times to make sure that I was not dreaming but everything was as real as I was seeing it. The raptors were all not bothered by my presence and Big One was with another raptor. Now was like the best time for me to get away before they change their mind and decided that I was dinner. I did not get up and tried to crawl back into the surrounding vegetation.

Slowly does it, I kept repeating in my mind. I was almost there when suddenly there was a loud thump behind me and I was dragged backwards. I screamed and kicked out managed to land a hit. I quickly scrambled up and made a mad dash into the forest.

Sorin's Pov

Why was she closing her eyes? Was she scared? That must be the reason why, I mean she was reeking of fear, not that I could blame her, my pack were all crowding around her. I gave my pack a hard stare and they all backed off, save for my mother who called me aside as she wanted to talk to me.

"Yes mother?" I asked.

"I see you had to drag her here." She said.

"Yea. She was not so willing." I ground out, thinking back to how she wanted to lead me back to the cage.

"How do you plan to integrate her into this life? She will surely try to run away, back to her own kind," She asked. I was going to answer her that I truthfully did not know how, when I noticed that my human was crawling away. I leapt behind her and grabbed her but she kicked me to my surprise and I let go. That was when she got up and made a run for it.

"Well, looks like you would have your claws full with her, little bro." Tama smirked while the rest of the pack all tried to hide their amusement, well Lucas and Lexus where the only two exceptions.

"I know!" I growled, before running off to get back my mate.

With Robert and Josh

"Where the heck is she?" Josh asked, as they stood at the porch of the dorms. They had just gone in to call Rae but she was nowhere to be found. Robert just shrugged his shoulder as he stared at their surroundings. Who knew what was out there now since the dinosaurs where all free to roam.

"There are partial footprints leading this way." Robert informed Josh as he bent down to look at the wet ground, " They lead this way, come one." Josh quickly followed after Robert.

"Isn't this Rae's walkie?' Josh said, picking up the said item that was half buried in the muddy ground, " The antenna is broken. Where the hell is she?"

"There are faint signs of something being dragged." Robert announced his findings. Oh dear…"

"I found her pistol." Josh said as he went to stand behind his current partner after looking around the path that they were on.

"Is that what I think it is?" Josh asked worriedly when he looked at what Robert was also looking at.

"Aye.. Raptor prints." Robert hissed, glaring at the prominent footprints there next to the drag marks.

"We got to go save her!" Josh exclaimed, loading his gun, prepared to go after his friend.

"Save your breath boy. It's already too late." Robert sighed as he headed back towards the dormitories.

"What are saying Robert? We got to go save Rae!" Josh yelled over the howling wind.

"It is already too late. You of all other people should know that Josh." Robert shouted back.

" I still believe that she is alive! If you won't go save her Rob, I will." Josh exclaimed, prepared to follow the tracks.

"Now you listen very carefully boy! Don't doubt that I want to go save Rae but those drag marks made by a raptor, the pistol and broken radio all point towards the inevitable! Now we still have a job to do! We might have been too late to save Rae but we can still save the others!" Robert snarled, grabbing Josh by the front of his shirt.

" You're right. Sorry Rob." Josh apologized, looking him straight in the eyes.

"No apologies needed Josh, let's go find the others." Robert sighed, patting Josh on the shoulder. The two men then cautiously made their way to the garage to get a jeep.

This was officially the WORST day EVER in my life! Not only was I dragged away by a raptor to be fed to her pack, after escaping from said pack, I had managed to piss of a triceratops who chased me until we ran into a T-rex who is now coming after me!

" Is there a bloody f***ing sign on my back that says 'CHASE ME! I'm HUMAN'?" I shouted, running like the wind with the T-rex hot at my heels. Now, you people must be wondering why does this idiot not just stay still. Well let me tell you people, that only works when the T-rex has not spotted you. If and when it does, run like hell!

I really don't know for how long I have been running for dear life but I can't take it anymore. My muscles are protesting and my heart is going to jump right out of my chest soon.

"Shoot!' I cursed as I fell. The ground was muddy and the rain pelting down was not helping in visibility. I scrambled to get up but it was too late. I felt myself being picked up by those giant jaws and I screamed my lungs out, struggling to escape. Suddenly, a ripping sound filled the air and I dropped back down onto the hard, muddy ground.

Not skipping a beat, I made a mad dash for the dense vegetation and hid among it. Once hidden, I took a look at the T-rex and saw that it had my raincoat hanging from its mouth and it was ripped into two. I kept very quiet and still until the T-rex noticed that I, its dinner had pulled a Houdini. It disappeared back into the trees after giving an angry roar.

I lay on the ground, not caring that my clothes were going to be muddy and wet. I panted hard realizing the situation that I was currently in. One, all the dinosaurs were on the loose. Two, I was out here in the park with no idea where I was. Three, it was storming and I had nothing except my clothes on me.

Groaning, I sat back up contemplating my choices and decided to try to find a shelter from the storm and then when the skies cleared, I would try to find my way back to the visitors' centre. I slowly got up and started my search for a shelter.

I walked and walked for what felt like an eternity without a single sense of direction. Finally, I found a cave near the waterfall and rushed inside, out of the freezing rain. Unfortunately, there was nothing there that I could use to start a fire but despite the cold, I was very tired and before I knew it, I was fast asleep.

Sorin's Pov

She got away from the T-rex that had attacked her, of that I was certain but where was she now, I had no idea. The rain was washing away her scent faster than I could track it. I picked up the strange piece of skin that my human had worn and continued on my search. I was not a happy camper.

As I searched, I could not help growl at the fact that not only did I had to drag her to the nest but she was now running away. I would definitely have to watch her very carefully once I find her and bring her back. I was NOT going to let her run off again.

After a torturous three hours search, I finally tracked her extremely faint scent to a cave near the waterfall. I knew that she was inside because of the very faint footprint in the mud. She was smart enough to find shelter, not too bad for a human.

I wonder if I should barge in and drag her back to the nest or should I just rest here with her and then drag her back in the morning? I was starting to feel tired, so I decided on the latter option. I still needed to get out of this rain so I entered the cave as well, cautiously not wanting to startle my human into running away again.

However, it seems like I did not have to worry as she as already fast asleep in a corner. I walked closer to her, careful not to wake her up. I was right above her but she still did not stir. I noticed that she was shivering, not that I could blame her, I felt a little cold as well and I had thicker skin than she did.

I lay down right next to my human to help keep her warm and she instinctively moved closer to me. I could not help but smile at that. Before I closed my eyes to join my human in sweet slumber, I wrapped my tail around her legs. Just in case, she woke up before me and tried to make a run for it.

Rae's Pov

I did not want to wake up and start work. I was really really tired. Robert and Josh can suck eggs for all I care. I snuggled deeper into my pillow when it purred. Wait a darn picking minute, when did pillows purr? I reluctantly peeled open my eyes to see a dark wall of scales.

"Uh What?" I said to myself when the wall of scales started to move and then I saw the eyes of the one person, well Raptor in this case, I did not want to see. Big One was eyeing me with large cat like amber eyes. Crap! Everything that had happened yesterday came flooding back to me. She found me! I was immediately wide-awake and made a dash for it.

"Wah!" I cried when I crashed to the hard, wet floor. I pushed myself up with a groan and turned to see what I had tripped over. To my horror, her muscular tail was wrapped around my ankles, preventing me from running away. Damn raptors and their intelligence! I knew that it was probably not the smartest thing to do but I was tired, dirty and pissed. So I screamed at her, smart right?

"Let me go! I am f***ing tired, dirty and bloody hell pissed! What the heck do you want with me? Make up your f***king mind! Eat me or don't eat me! Don't bloody play with me!" I yelled, glaring hard at the raptor before me. Big One backed away in response but did not let go of my legs. After, my loud, one breath rant, I was left panting and dying of thirst.

Sorin's Pov

I had woken up just as the sun rose and quietly watched my mate as she slept. She looked really peaceful so I will let her sleep some more before I dragged her back to the nest. She was probably cold as she snuggled into my chest, causing me to purr from the contact.

That was probably the wrong move as she started to wake up. Once I was sure that she was awake, I started to get up to greet her. However, I should have expected that she would not be happy to see me.

She tried to run away but she ended up falling face first as she fell. Oops. I had totally forgot that my tail that was wrapped around her legs. Anyway, she seemed okay since she was still able to get mad and yell at me. I was ignoring whatever she was yelling until I heard her ask me to make up my mind.

She thought I was going to eat her? I thought shocked. How can she think that! I feel so hurt, after all the time that we had spent together! She still thought I was going to hurt her? Well, excluding last night's episode with me dragging her back to the nesting site.

She was quiet and I looked at her with determined eyes. If all I have done so far was not getting to her, I have no choice but to use rash methods. The sun was already high in the sky; we had to go back to the nesting site so that the pack can go hunt for food. I took a step forward, ignored my human's cry of outrage as I picked her up with my arms and took off out into the open.

Rae's Pov

My eyes were playing tricks on me right? Big One's eyes did not just look sad but I swear, they really did look hurt and then turned into a determined look as she stared harder at me. Suddenly, he took a step forward and picked me up, making me scream in anger as for the second time, I was human-napped.

I lost track of the path we took but I can tell you for sure that our destination was the nesting sites. I remained still in her arm; I really did not know what to do. Do I run and get picked off by whatever was roaming out there or do I stick with Big One and her Pack that has not shown any interest in having me for lunch, dinner or any meal at all? My gut feeling was telling me stick with Big One and her pack so I decided to follow it.

"Omph!" I grunted, landing on my stomach on a soft pile of leaves. Deep in my own thoughts, I did not realize that we had arrived back at the nesting site. I pushed myself up, brushed off the leaves and dirt from my clothes and came face to chest with Big One.

I looked up at her and she snorted in my face before leaving me to go talk to her fellow pack members or something. I looked around me and all around me where nests with raptors lazing around while chicks played.

Wait a darn picking minute! Chicks? How can that be? Robert told me that all the dinos were female! OMG… th…there are male dinos! That was my last thought before I fainted. My life officially sucks.

Sorin's Pov

My mate and I arrived back at the nesting site and I gently dropped her in my nest. Every member of the pack watched as she got up and dusted herself, I checked her over to see if she had injured herself in anyway and once I was satisfied that she was unharmed I left to go gather a group to go hunting, I am sure everyone was famished.

Before I could make it even a feet from my nest, there was soft thud behind me. I swerved behind and saw my mate collapsed in my nest.

"Well, that was interesting." Tama said, making me sigh.
