JURASSIC WORLD: ALPHA DNA

Chapter 1

Owen stared at the foliage and squinted his eyes to make out the approaching raptor. "Blue?" He exclaimed more in a questioning tone. His Beta didn't do anything but just simply walked straight to the bars that separated them and stared at him.

"Blue..." Owen raised a hand softly and Blue quickly showed her teeth though he didn't perceive it as threatening since she didn't snarl at him but a rumbling purr coming from her throat.

"Hey Blue..." Owen smiled. His raised hand suddenly went under as he carefully rubbed the underside of her snout. Blue pressed herself closer to the bars, purring louder.

"Owen! Lunch is ready!" Barry's scream abruptly startled both Owen and Blue as the latter let out a squawk and raced back to the foliage. Owen sighed and made his way back.

Feeding the raptors at night was something only Owen and Barry could do since the rest of the workers ended up being nervous when feeding the raptors which isn't a good sign since raptors could easily pick off subtle movements which they use to their advantage on a hunt.

"Head home early Barry, I'll handle the rest for tonight" The sudden request made Barry look at Owen with a questioning look on his face. "You sure you don't want me to stay?" Owen waved him away.

"Just wanted to spend some quality alone time with my girls. We haven't had the chance to have some quiet time with them around.

Barry guessed it was true. Back when the raptors were still nothing more but hatchlings, they would flock at Owen around and under his legs and often ruin his pant legs.

"Alright, take care" Barry said with a wave of his hand. Owen can take care of himself anyways. There was nothing for Barry to worry about.

As soon as the last person left for the night, Owen made his way to the catwalk with the pail filled with today's meat. "Alright girls, supper time!" He called. All at once, the raptors broke out of the foliage and ran to where his voice was, barking and squawking at the same time.

Owen grinned down at them and prepared to turn the pail over to let the meat fall when Blue suddenly let out a loud growl and snarled. Delta and Charlie kept barking loudly which stunned Owen.

Military instincts came into play when he instinctively dodged and a metal pole struck from where he was standing. If he hadn't moved, Owen was pretty sure that blow would've knocked him unconcious. He'd have to give his girls some extra meat as a thank you.

"Who the hell are you?" Owen said admist the raptors' growls and snarls. The masked person didn't say anything but simply continued to swing the metal pole, aiming at Owen's head.

Due to the narrow walkway of the catwalk, Owen had no choice but to keep dodging as the masked attacker's swings continued. Owen had no idea the attacker had an accomplice, simply keeping an eye on the attacker in front of him.

The sudden hit from behind made his vision swim. It gave the attackers enough time to lift Owen up and drop him straight to the cage. Owen lost consciousness from the impact.

The raptors sprang into action. Blue ran straight to Owen and stood guard while Charlie, Delta and Echo ran to the edges of the paddock and started crazily jumping up, hoping to get out and hunt Alpha's attackers.

Unfortunately, the walls were too high so the raptors could only snarl, growl and roar loudly in frustration.

Delta quickly took note of the scent before heading back. Charlie and Echo were already surveying the catwalk, making sure there were no other Alpha attackers.

"Alpha hurt. Can't move. We take him to nest" Blue barked before gently grabbing Alpha's other skin by the neck while Charlie grabbed Owen's pant leg. The raptors quickly half dragged, half carried Owen to the nest.
