I : We Meet

A blue-gray velociraptor paced back and forth throughout her cage, her heart pounding in her chest. 

This was no ordinary velociraptor, though. Her name was Blue, and she was the last of her species. And she knew it.

Emotions coursed through her. She had no idea what to think. Here she was, trapped yet again by humans, stuck worrying about their unpredictable antics. But she was nervous for what she would see, who she would see. Why was she here? Where were the other dinosaurs? She could smell them. The scent of the ornithomimids she usually hunted teased her. She could practically taste their rich, meaty flavor that was so wonderfully different from the rats that Alpha had fed her. 

Blue's curved hind claws tapped at the stone ground with growing impatience. 

I've had enough of human enclosures, she thought. 

She charged at the metal bars, her head clanging uselessly against them. 

Ouch, she winced. 

She peered outside of the cages' metal bars. In the darkness of the hallway, she noticed several enclosures. Inside them were the dinosaurs she had wondered about. Blue could see carnivores, piscivores, omnivores, and herbivores of all sizes and age. She glanced back into her cage and growled. There wasn't any food or water in her cage, and she might even be stuck here for hours. Noticing another wall that was opened with metal bars, she peered into that one. Her gaze was greeted with nothing but darkness, but she could scent something odd. Almost... familiar. 

It carried the scent of a fellow velociraptor, but also a unique scent she recognized all too well. Blue tried to put a name to this hidden creature based off scent, but after a while she gave up and closed her eyes to sleep.

Jolted awake by a loud clang against the metal bars of her cage, Blue raised her head to the source of the noise. Once her eyes had adjusted to the darkness of the attached enclosure, she saw a creature in there. It was a male, and he was larger than her, and he blended in with the darkness. A gold stripe raced down his neck from luminous amber eyes. 

 He and her stared back at one another, curiousity and some hostility showing in both their postures. He had three long claws that he wrapped around the metal bars, and he managed to push some of his head through a gap. Blue hung back hesitantly instead, more hostility returning as she wondered if he was hungry, and was trying to grab at her like prey. Her lips curled in a snarl, her sharp white teeth showing in a way of saying: "Hey! back off."

He pulled back a little, but he remained by the metal bars, watching. Blue hissed and snapped her jaws in his direction. "I said back off! I don't trust you."

Oh right. She realized. He can't communicate with me, he's not a raptor--

"Sorry," he huffed. "I was only curious."

Blue froze. "You can communicate with me? But you aren't a velociraptor."

The odd dinosaur looked at her. "Can't we all communicate no matter what?" He questioned. Blue snorted in amusement, "you don't know very much, do you?"

He stepped into the only patch of light between the attached enclosures. Blue studied his features yet again. With a jolt, she realized he was quite raptor-like. But not completely. Some features of his reminded Blue of somebody so terrible and manipulative, though she couldn't remember her very well.

"Do you have a name?" Blue asked in an attempt to take her mind off her bad memories. The dark raptor-like dinosaur tipped his head to the side. "A name..? No, I don't think I have one." He paused as if he was thinking, then asked if she had a name.
