Secrets

Y/n's p.o.v

I walked beside the other kids exhausted, We walked to the bunks as I face planted onto the bed tiredly. I yawned standing up grabbing a pair of pajamas from my suitcase. I walked to the bathroom as Yasmina walked out. I nodded to her as she awkwardly walked to her bunk, I closed the bathroom door as I switched clothes setting my dirty ones down for a minute as I looked at my phone. I sighed picking up my clothes walking to my bunk, I plugged my phone in and put my dirty clothes in the suitcase as I laid down pulling the blanket over myself.

I jumped as my darkened sleep was disturbed by a bright light, I looked around as Kenji, Brooklynn, and Darius were standing in the main room. I remained in the shadows as I heard them talking

"Brooklyanders! We're going rouge!" Brooklynn announced as they went to the elevator. I walked to the elevator after the door shut pulling on my shoes, I turned off the lights going down into the elevator quietly following behind the trio.

We came up to a large pen as I hid behind a car quietly, my friends walking up the stairs. I looked at two men, One with a light caramel tanned skin, the other with darker skin both about in their 30's. I walked into what looked like a entrance way to the cage, I looked around at the buttons at the edge then I jumped hearing something clatter against metal.

"Nice going Kenji" I heard one of my friends snap from nearby. I watched Kenji climb down through the paddock as I spun around hearing hissing. A raptor.. I looked at her gray and blue skin as she tried to jump through the bars to get my brother.

I gasped as the gate separating prey from predator raised up. I watched Darius kick down a pipe in an attempt to save Kenji.

I pressed a red button as the gate in front of me was raised. I stepped out whistling getting the attention from the raptor as the two men ran in grabbing Kenji and Darius, Then coming in behind me. I stuck my hand out to her.

"Hey.. Blue..?" I half asked making her head perk up. "That's your name? Blue!" I said happily as she stepped forward to me. I froze as she breathed close on my face. I raised my hand up as she hissed. I went slower gently resting my hand on her neck making her back up from my face.

I froze as more raptors came up, I stuck my hands out again making them stop.

"Echo, Delta, Charlie!" The man with tan skin yelled to me as I nodded carefully

"Blue..! Blue stand down" I said looking her in the eye as she hissed at me, snapping at me as I glared "Hey! Hey! What did I just say?" I asked as I spotted the two employees from the camp.

The raptor with teal on her I could only assumed to be Delta tried to run out the gate as I turned to her. "Delta, I see you. Back up!" I yelled as she hissed, screeching at me. "Okay.. Good, Good.." I said muttering to myself the raptors inching closer to me slowly as I slowly kept backing up.

A raptor with darker green almost close enough to bite me as I faced her drawing a blank on the name as I gasped "Charlie! Stay right there." I explained, Charlie responding to the name as she also hissed at me like the others. I felt many pairs of eyes on me as I knew the duo behind me were listening "Close the gate." I told them still keeping eye contact with Blue watching the others out of the corner of my eyes.

"Are you crazy?" I heard the other man shout from behind me.

"Hey, Just trust me" I said to him calmly.
