AN: Thank you for all the reviews. Hope you all enjoy the story.
Disclaimer: I do not own Jurassic Park. I wish that I did though but that's life.
Warning: Dark side of Sorin ahead.
With the other humans
"I will go with you Arnold." Dr Ellie said, making to follow after the man but was stopped by the man himself.
"I know the way and it will be faster with one person." Arnold insisted, leaving the safety bunker where Hammond, Dr. Ellie, Robert, Josh and an injured Dr. Malcom were hiding.
" Will he really be okay out there by himself?" Josh questioned, looking at the others.
" We just have to trust him." Hammond answered while attending to Dr. Malcom's injured leg. They all sat there in silence for about two hours and Arnold still had not returned.
"I can't take it anymore. I'm going, something is not right." Dr. Ellie suddenly said getting off her seat.
"I'll go with you Dr. The electrical bunker is near those foul creatures' enclosure." Robert got up as well and picked up his hunting rifle.
"I'll go too." Josh added.
"No! You stay here and protect John and the other good Dr." Robert instructed Josh with a hard look, making him reluctantly sit back down again.
"Use this walkie, I will talk you through once you reach the bunker." Hammond passed Dr. Ellie the walkie. With a last nod, both Dr. Ellie and Robert headed out from the safety of the bunker.
Sorin's Pov
The weather was not too bad today, it was really good for relaxing and it was even made better by the fact that I had my mate with me. That horrible see through wall no longer separated us, I could smell and touch her anytime I wanted.
Majority of the pack were all resting after a meal with the exception of those who I had ordered to do patrol duties, we could not afford to be complacent; we could be attacked at any time. My mate was had long finished her red balls and was napping against me with Marron on her lap, I really did like the mental picture I had of what we looked like to the rest of my pack. We were one family.
Suddenly, one of the scouts burst into the nesting site and came towards my nest.
"What is it?" I demanded.
"Alpha, we just spotted a human male approaching the weird human cave that we found located in our territory." The scout reported. Oh this was good, humans were trespassing on our land.
"Is it the alpha male?" I questioned, dying to finally get to meet my rival.
"No alpha, it is an unknown human male." The scout replied. Hmm… seems like my rival has sent out a scout as well. Was he looking for his lost female? I wondered, glancing at my lazing mate. Growling to myself, I swore that I would not let him take away my mate now that I finally got her.
"Show me." I ordered the scout, getting up slowly so as to not startle my mate who woke up from her light slumber at my movement.
"Stay here." I huffed at her, not really expecting her to understand but my mother and sister will look after her. I followed the scout all the way to the strange human cave that we discovered.
"Where is the human?" I asked the other members of the scouting group who waited outside the dwelling.
"It went inside." Leon replied as he stepped out from the bushes.
"How many humans inside?" I questioned my brother – in- law.
"From what we could tell, only one." Leon answered.
"Alright. This one is most likely a scout for the human alpha, so we are going to take it out and set a trap of our own." My mind of racing through the different scenarios and traps that I could set for the human male when he came.
"Simon! You, Archer and Leila will go in and kill the human scout. Once that is done, stay there and eliminate any other human that enters. Leon and Kayla, you two stay with me. We will wait outside for the human alpha and any other humans that approaches." I ordered and the small group went off to carry out my orders.
In war, one must know one's enemy and I knew that the alpha male could recognize me from the other member of the pack so I could not use Leon or Kayla as the bait, I had to be the bait.
I purposely positioned myself behind some ferns ensuring that a portion of my tail was visible from the main dirt path that the alpha human male would arrive by, this will separate him from the rest of his pack and he will come to find me only to realize that he had already walked into my trap. Once that happens, I can finally have my revenge and eliminate the threat that his presence causes.
We had to wait quite a while though after the dying cries of the human male inside the dwelling were last heard, it was hot and humid but we do live in a jungle so yea. There was stupid fly that kept insisting on landing on my snout, making it itch, I was snorting at the irritating insect to keep it away from my nose when I heard approaching footsteps as well as the scent of the human alpha male. Looks like it was show time.
As I had planned, the human alpha male took my bait and still thought himself smart for being able to creep up on me. Just a little closer and the final move could be made, I eagerly watched as he moved in closer and closer until he was almost on top of me. He cocked his strange weapon and aimed it straight at me, just as he was about to attack, Leon stuck his snout out right into the human alpha's face from the bushes next him. Checkmate!
The human alpha at that moment knew that he had already lost and that was when Leon pounced onto him, pinning him to the ground. Kayla and I emerged from our positions and approached our captive, she kicked the weapon towards me and I stepped on it making it break into half. I, of course made sure to do this in front of the alpha male to show him who was the victor. It seemed as though the back up that he brought with him had met up with my men in the strange dwelling from the cries we were hearing, it was not dead yet but it was only a matter of time.
I motioned to Leon and he clamped his jaws down on the captive's leg before dragging him deeper into the forest, Kayla and I followed him, it was time for my revenge.
We dragged our captive until we reached a clearing in the forest where Leon let go of his leg, which was obviously broken, and weeping blood making me grin at the sight of my rival collapsed on the ground. One must give him credit for he stared me straight in the eye without fear; I went to stand above him to rub in my victory and still did not even flinch. Oh well, he will fear me soon, I raised a sharp claw and gently drew it across the thin material that covered its abdomen, revealing his skin. The human alpha watched me with wary eyes as I did this, he continued to watch as I placed my claw on his skin and pressed down making blood well up, him flinching and me smirking.
"Sorin watch out!" Leon suddenly cried and I moved back on instinct but still felt a sharp burning pain across my chest. Kayla snarled as she bit into the offending hand of the captive, I looked down at my chest and saw a long shallow cut across my chest, nothing serious but it still hurt. I roared in anger glaring at the sharp wicked looking claw like thing that the alpha male held in his hand.
"Let go of his arm Kayla." I snarled, advancing on my captive who now had a broken arm and leg, kicking the sharp claw out of his hand, not caring when the talons on my foot slashed into his skin. After disarming him I sunk my claws into his belly, slowly drawing them across, gutting him. It would not kill him immediately but it would kill him eventually and painfully, this was revenge for what he had done to my pack.
With a satisfied nod at my two companions, we left our captive there to die alone and headed back to rejoin with the rest of the scouting party.
"Alpha." Simon, Archer and Leila greeted me as we arrive back at the human dwelling.
"Is the other human dead?" I asked.
"Sorry alpha, she got away." Archer answered, looking guilty. I suppose I should have been angry but I was finally rid of my nemesis, his pack will fall by itself sooner or later.
"It's alright. Let us go back to our families." I comforted them, heading for the forest again.
Robert's Pov
"You go ahead Dr. Do not look back and run like the wind." I ordered the female with me. We just arrived at the bunker and already caught the attention of those creatures; well they would not stop us. I scanned the surroundings, covering the Dr. as she mad a mad dash for the bunker.
"Where are you Big One?" I muttered to myself, scouting the surrounding area when the partially visible tail caught my attention, the markings on the tail where definitely hers. I slowly and quietly crept towards my target, loading my gun as I moved. Finally I was as close as I could get without alerting her, I kneeled down on one knee and took aim when suddenly, a snout appeared in my face.
"Clever girl." I said, realizing that I had fallen into a trap. It was all I was able to say before the raptor pounced onto me, pinning me onto the ground, not killing me. Why? Why are they not killing me? I thought as the alpha female emerged together with a third raptor from the vegetation. Suddenly, I could hear the screams of the Dr making me look towards the bunker, realization and understanding struck me like cold water down the spine.
This was all an elaborate trap, Arnold never came back because he was already killed and they knew that more humans would come when he did not return so Big One had some remain inside the bunker to eliminate those that enter while she and these two remained out here, waiting, waiting for me.
I watched Big One motioned to one of the two and she clamped her jaws onto my leg and started dragging me deeper into the forest. I am sorry Dr. I could not save you. I was dragged for who knows how long before I dumped onto the ground, I knew and felt that my leg was broken, I could not outrun the raptors even if I had two good legs.
Big One stood above me and raised one of her claws and cut through my shirt, what was she up to? I may not know what she wanted but I was not going to go down without a fight, I felt at my side for my hunting knife and as she placed and pressed a claw into my abdomen drawing blood, I swiped up with the knife, hoping to injure her enough.
I heard one of the other raptors call out a warning and Big One moved back only resulting in me inflicting a long shallow cut across her chest. There was a burning pain in my arm as the third raptor bit into it, I could not move arm, unless I wanted it ripped off.
Big One roared in anger or pain, I do not know but I do hope that it was because of pain. She then huffed angrily at the raptor that held my arm and advanced on me. I knew that my time was up; I had underestimated these raptors by miles. I expected a second of pain and then death but all I felt was sharp burning pain in my stomach as Big One dug her claws and gutted me. After that, she and the two raptors left, leaving me slowly die.
"Sorry John. I would really like to tell you 'I told you so.'" I laughed, choking on my own blood.
AN: Sorry it's pretty short but I wanted to change Sorin's personality from the previous story so I wanted to use this scene from the movie.
