Clever Girl

Chapter 19

"Ahhh!" I clutched my right arm in pain. As I landed on my right side, I looked up to find Tim still up there. The sun blocked my view, Dad rushed over to me.

"Katie, are you alright?!" He tried to get me up, but I pushed him off.

"No, Dad get Tim down now!" I said, as Tim was preparing to jump. He nodded and rushed over to were Tim was about to jump.

"Okay, okay! I'm going to count to three. One, two, three..." Tim gets ready to jump, while I ungracefully stood up and walked to Lex. All of a sudden a low, loud frightening buzz came from the fence. POW! Tim was cut off mid-sentence, and literally thrown from the fence. He slammed into Dad. They fell to the ground. We ran over to them. Lex frantically screaming for her brother.

"Tim, you're okay?" I shouted, as Lex screamed. Dad noticed a larger problem.

Dad looked at us. "He's not breathing. Tim?" He started doing CPR on him.

"No!" Lex said and started to cry. I gathered her in my arms and tried to console her while Dad tried to revive Tim.

Ellie watched as the banks of fluorescent lights in the maintenance shed come on, one by one. The lights went on in rows, coming closer and closer to her. Finally, her row came on. She followed the light and seen a raptor, right there, behind the control panel. It slashed taking a lunging sweep at Ellie, but gets stuck, its feet and legs tangled in the maze of pipes on the floor.

"Ahhhhh!" She screamed and fell back against the gate. It was the biggest of the raptors, intensely muscled, and coordinated as hell, a smoothly designed predator. Ellie shouted and fell back into the pipes on the other side of the aisle. The raptor untangled itself from the pipes and gave chase, just as Ellie slammed the mesh door closed. The raptor banged against the mesh door, Ellie fell to the ground. She held on by kicking the door shut as the raptor continued to push himself through the door. Ellie is able to get the door closed. She stood but then fell back onto one of the walls.

An arm fell onto her shoulder. She realized it was Ray Arnold. "Oh Mr Arnold..." She turned around expecting to see him but she realized it was a dead arm. She breathed out in disgust and horror and fell back against the wired gate. The raptor came at her again against the gate. Ellie took off running as fast as she could back the way she came. She dragged the flashlight with her, running over the dead arm and Arnold's legs. She continued to run, her headset dangling, the flashlight dragging behind her on its cord. She reached the stairs and hit them hard, flying up them. Ignoring the heaviness in her flashlight that was dragging behind her. The raptor must be right behind her, she could hear the clicking and clanging as it scrambled up the stairs, but she doesn't look back. She reached the top, and threw open the door, hurled herself outside - - and slammed the door behind her, just as the raptor's head snarled at her from near the top of the stairs. She ran out the fence looking back one last time then collapsed on the floor.

Tim was still unmoving, Dad was still is performing CPR, alternately compressing Timmy's chest fifteen times, quickly, and breathing into his mouth twice. Lex was still freaking out and Katie was having a hard time trying to console her and control her. Lex was becoming quite loud now and it could attract the animals. Fifteen compressions, two deep breaths. "C'mon, Tim."

Dad looked ragged and scared as Tim wasn't responding. Lex broke away from my arms and started pacing. "No Tim." He pressed his mouth to Tim's mouth.

"Dad." I choked out as Lex was starting to become loud again. Tim gasped and coughed out loud.

"Good boy, Tim. Good boy." He said hugging him. Lex rushed to him and I gasped out in relief.

"Come on now." He grabbed Tim in his arms and we had to carry on. Tim's hair was sticking up and he didn't look too good. Lex was clinging Dad and Tim wanting to be near her brother. They were at each other's neck a couple of hours ago, now she clinging to her brother. I guess past sibling rivalry they do love each other.

Robert Muldoon crept slowly through the jungle foliage, tracking his prey. He ducked and walked through a hollow log, underneath a fallen tree, following the rustling sound up ahead of him. He can see just a trace of the raptor's grey flesh as it moved behind the bushes up ahead, staying camouflaged enough to deny him a decent shot. Thinking he's got a moment, Muldoon extended the back handle of the gun and clicked it into place. He prepared to take aim but a snake slithered across a tree branch, past what looks like the large iris of a flower. The flower blinked, Muldoon frowned. It was eye of the raptor. Muldoon saw it, he raised his gun. Instead of running away again, the raptor rose slowly out of the brush, fully revealing itself to Muldoon, hissing at him. The corners of Muldoon's mouth twitched up into a smile. He drew a bead on the animal. His finger tensed on the trigger. Suddenly, his smile vanished both eyes pop open, and a terrible thought swept across his face. His eyes flick to the side, "Clever girl." which is where the attack comes from. With a roar another raptor comes flashing out of nowhere and pounced on him. The gun blasted but wildly, and the raptor's claw slashed through Muldoon's midsection. Muldoon screamed and fell back, the raptor locked on top of him, all tooth and claw all of a sudden. As the second raptor makes the kill, the first raptor strides slowly forward and watches approvingly. A few feet away Muldoon's hat laid untouched.
