Chapter Five: Serum Revealed

It's been a year since Storming Gale's escape and journey around the island, Diana is sixteen now and many strange things have been happening to her. She can see a yard farther than normal, her hearing has extended so she can hear things half a mile away, and already her nose has heightened during the search for her daughter. Owen has been noticing that during her medicals the strange enhancements appeared somewhere halfway into the year.

Frosted Gale reassured Storming that she wasn't a bad sister, but that she was too impatient to wait until their mother got back to their paddock to ask about visiting their raptor cousins. Both raptor paddocks were finally fused together to make one huge paddock and there was a surprise at the tree line for Owen, Barry, and Diana.

"I can't believe it!" Diana whispered as the three of them looked in a dip in the ground where twelve eggs were laying slightly in the shade. Our raptors are parents!" Blue stared at them before slowly reaching down and slightly moved the three that were at the back, signifying that those were hers and Blacks'. "I wonder when they'll hatch!" Diana clapped as she hopped from one foot to the other, but Blue just looked at the eggs before walking towards the other raptors.

"I think they won't hatch," Barry said as he noticed the slumped forms of the raptors as they cuddled their mates. "We found them too late." Diana gasped as Owen and Barry walked towards the raptors to comfort them, but she never took her eyes off of the eggs. She kneeled down and slowly reached out before brushing her fingers against the smooth shells of the eggs.

She pulled her hand back and closed her eyes before hearing a crack and noticed one of the eggs, Blue's and Black's, had a hairline crack before it expanded and the other two slowly followed behind. "BLUE! BLACK!" She screamed as she suddenly fell backwards and everyone came to her side just in time to see a green raptor burst out of the egg shell along with a blue striped raptor and a black striped raptor bursted out of the other two eggs.

Blue and Black called out to their hatchlings, who immediately went to their side as three more eggs hatched. One was a gray raptor with dark stripes, the second was a brown raptor, and the last was a gray-brown raptor. Charlie's and Cobaltite's hatchlings. "I thought they were stillborn." Barry said as three more raptors, one brown with dark specks, one dark gray, and the last one was dark brown-gray, hatched and immediately went to Echo and Everfall.

The last trio of eggs hatched, one raptor was golden, the second was green with dark markings, and the third was golden-green. "Their babies are here!" Diana shouted and immediately was swamped by baby raptors that tried to push her around as if she was a stubborn animal. "I'm a grandfather..." Owen mumbled as he watched his niece and the baby raptors.

"I don't get it," Lowery said as Owen, Barry, Diana, and Claire watched the footage of the discovery of the eggs and of them hatching after Diana touched them. "Just after one touch, the eggs hatched." "I think I know why," Barry said as he opened a drawer and pulled out Diana's medical file. "I took a blood test from her a week ago and it already confused me."

Everyone looked at him curiously until he pulled out a sheet of paper and read what was on it. "From what I've discovered, there's something mixed in with her blood that gave her the understanding of dinosaurs, extended hearing, sight, and smell, very little bruising and pain when Hoskins punched her, and her sudden growling and grunting."

"That's good to know," Owen said as he hung his head in irritation. "But does it have to do with what's mixed in her blood?!" "I wonder if it has to do with the syringe..." Lowery muttered out loud as he pulled a small syringe that was filled with a light blue liquid from a secret drawer, surprising everyone. "WHEN DID THAT GET THERE?!" " It's been in there for sixteen years, I accidentally discovered it and pull it out to clean it once in a while before I discovered the disc."

He pulled out a dvd disc from the secret drawer and inserted it in the main control.

A room that resembled the lab appeared and they heard heels clacking on the floor before a woman in her early twenties with shoulder-length brown hair and gray eyes appeared alongside a man around her age with dark blond hair and green eyes. "Hello Diana," The woman said, but both Diana and Owen were already shocked by the time she appeared on the screen. "If you are watching this, then something might have happened to us." "Owen, if you are watching this with her," The man started. "Then please keep her safe from BioSyn. Diana, there's a reason of how you can understand the dinosaurs at Jurassic World: I've created a serum called Project Beta. It mixes in with your blood and enhances your sight, hearing, and smell as well as slightly hardens your skin like a dinosaur's hide."

"Then why is this here?" Lowery asked himself as he still held the syringe. "There are two phases to the serum," Diana's father replied even though he couldn't hear Lowery. "Before you were born, I injected the first phase into you and left the second phase at the control room where only Owen can find it because once you turn sixteen the second phase has to be injected in order for you to not go crazy by the unbalance in your bloodstream. Do you wonder why you are named 'Diana'? You were named after a Deinonychus."

Then the video went blank.

"That was my sister..." Owen mumbled before looking at the syringe. "She needs that to save her." She immediately rolled up one of her sleeves of her long-sleeved black shirt and Lowery slowly walked over to her while the hand that was holding the syringe shook a bit. "Let me do it," Barry said as he held out his hand, which Lowery put the syringe on his palm gently. "I've done her medicals, so I can be able to do this without stabbing someone else."

Lowery immediately flushed red as Barry gently injected the serum in her bloodstream and she rolled her sleeve back down. "I bet it takes a while for it to work- Diana!" Owen shouted as Diana suddenly closed her eyes and fell backwards until Barry caught her. "I think Phase Two is quicker than Phase One." He said before he carried her out of the control room. "Is there anything else on that disc that says about what's in it?" Claire demanded as she ad her nephews rewatched the disc while Owen and Barry went to the bungalow and laid Diana on the spare bed in Owen's trailer.

"She's going to be okay right?" Owen asked as they left the trailer. "Just give her a few hours, she'll be alright." Barry answered as they walked back to the raptor paddock. What they didn't know was that a certain rival was coming onshore just as something was happening to Diana.
