Chapter 14: Warnings
At the human encampment, Dr. Lewis and his men gave up on finding the Indominus Rex. The man was frustrated at having to fight the Velociraptors without the hybrid.
He knew that the hybrid killed the raptors in the mortal world and it could do it, again. Just where did it go he did not know.
"Damn that abomination!" Lewis shouts in frustration.
"Something the matter?" a voice asks and he saw Esteban coming in to the tent.
"That hybrid must've ran off, so much for that thing," Lewis answers.
"Why use a dinosaur when we have man power," Esteban said and shows his gun and bullets.
"You really think guns can take down a Velociraptor? They have cheetah speed and can coordinate much faster than a human. They'll eat you up in a heartbeat," Lewis said to the selfish man.
"I'm saving these for that bitch of a daughter of mine," Esteban replies with a grim smile.
"You want to kill her that bad?" Lewis asks and Esteban nods.
Outside, Muldoon could hear the two men talking. They were willing to go to great lengths to wipe out the Velociraptors and the girl, Aurora.
He had respect for that young woman as she had tamed her pack of raptors. He also felt a grudge forming towards Dr. Lewis. A man like him deserves to be in Hell for the illegal experiments he has done on people, especially Aurora.
Muldoon grew to hate Esteban and Joana. They did not care for their daughter, both in the mortal world and this world. People like them didn't deserve to have children.
"Damn bastards," he whispers to himself.
Just then, he spots something out of the corner of his eye; it was Aurora. He stood very still and pretends to not notice her. Blue the Velociraptor was following close behind her.
Aurora and Blue were looking for anything that could be useful. They hid behind the trees and were quiet as mice. Aurora checks a tent and discovers that it was full of TNT. She also found some clocks and wires.
"Idiots," she said to herself. The humans were stupid enough to leave all of this out in the open. She took a sack and takes a roll of TNT, some wires, and a clock. She also saw some pillars and also took them.
Aurora leaves the tent to rejoin Blue, but then Muldoon appears. "What are you doing?" he asks in a whisper.
"I plan on making a bomb," she answers.
"What? You plan on blowing us up?" Mulddon asks, again.
"No, we plan on having the volcanoes erupt so that they can destroy the Land of Shadows, the way you came in here," Aurora replies and Blue begins to growl at Muldoon.
He looks at them and asks, "So you wish to prevent a future invasion, what about us? You plan on killing every human here?"
"Not me personally, the dinosaurs will take care of that, including the raptors," Aurora answers and Muldoon nods.
"When will we expect the battle to commence?" he asks, again.
"I'll tell everyone here," she answers, bluntly and gives the sack to Blue. "Take it back, I'll be right behind you," she orders the beta. The raptor holds the sack with her mouth and quietly walks out of the camp.
Aurora then enters the camp, surprising everyone. "Hey! It's the girl!" someone shouts and Dr. Lewis hears it. Esteban and Joana hear it, too and they go to look.
Aurora stood her ground and looks at Lewis and her self-absorbed parents. "Lidia! You came back!" Joana exclaims in a fake cheerful voice.
"No, I did not come back," Aurora answers, "And for the last time, my name is not Lidia!"
"You piece of-" "Shut up!" she snaps at Esteban and he went silent. "I came here to tell all of you to get ready. I thought it would be fair that I inform you of the epic battle that will take place," she said to the humans.
"Epic battle?" Lewis chuckles, but Aurora holds up her weapon to his nose.
"Let's just say it's the dinosaurs verses the humans. I'm letting you decide the date," Aurora said, putting her sharp stick away.
Some of the humans were discussing among themselves. "Three days!" "No way, we can take them down in a heartbeat!" "Tomorrow!" some of them shout out their suggestions.
Lewis and Aurora look at each other, they displayed their hatred for each other. "Three days," Lewis said to Aurora and holds out a hand.
Three days would be plenty for her and her raptor pack, including Ulyssa's to gather all of the dinosaurs in the afterlife. Plus, it would give them time for the dinosaurs to drink the water and make them immune to bullets and such.
"Deal," Aurora answers and she and Lewis shake on it. She then adds, "If you don't keep the deal, I'll send all of the Velociraptors here."
Lewis looks at her with a grim smile. "I'm not scared of any raptor," he said, but Aurora raises an eyebrow.
"I smell a lie," she said and turns to leave.
"Lidia!" Joana calls out and Aurora stops. She turns around to face her mother and listens to the woman. "Why are you doing this? We love you," Joana lies and Aurora starts to laugh.
"Oh really? Did you love me enough to sell me to Lewis? What about your other daughters? Did you love them? No, you never loved us, the only thing you were interested in was to sell us at a price, just enough for the two of you to find a proper house in San Jose or leave the country," Aurora said and Esteban and Joana gave shocked expressions.
"My sisters and I were planning to leave you, but you got wind of our plan. You sold my sisters to brothels and Lewis was planning to pay you a high payment. Just what kind of parents would sell their daughters for money?" Aurora said to them.
"How in the-" "Let's just say I now remember everything. Oh I remember the beatings and you, Joana would say 'Why can't you just die?'" Aurora replies, keeping the waterfall a complete secret.
"I ought to kill you right now!" Esteban shouts, pulling out his gun.
"You do that and my pack will tare you to pieces. As I said, if you don't keep the deal, I'll send every Velociraptor here to wipe you out," Aurora said in a cold voice.
"Don't do it Esteban," Muldoon said, "She does sound serious."
Esteban puts his gun away and stares at Aurora with anger in his eyes. She then turns to leave, but points at Lewis. "Three days," she reminds him and she disappears into the forest.
