JURASSIC WORLD: ALPHA DNA

Chapter 2

After this incident, there had been changes to the raptors' training exercises. For one thing, Owen would bring his motorbike inside and drive it around the pen with the raptors following in perfect formation as if it was instinctive.

Barry would watch everything unfold in wonder and awe as Owen led the girls around in a run. The raptors looked a lot more energetic than they were when Owen was still training them from the catwalk. Perhaps this would be considered as both a blessing

"Grady!"

...and a curse.

Barry lightly grimaced and spotted Owen making a face as he turned his bike towards the outer gate of the raptor pen to see Vic Hoskins looking at him with a smug look on his face.

"I can see progress is moving fast." Owen gripped the handle of his bike tightly "We're still working on the kinks Vic. They're not ready for a field test yet"

"So says the man that literally just rode around the pen with a bunch of vicious beasts"

Delta suddenly gripped the handle of the bars and roared, furiously pressing her snout further. "Whoa Delta, what has gotten into you?" Owen said as he placed a comforting hand on the raptor's back.

Blue and the other raptors started snarling while staring at Hoskins dead in the eye. Barry looked amused at Hoskins uneasy expression "It looks like they don't like you much. They seem to see you as something to eat" Hoskins glared at Barry.

"Very funny Mr. Sembène" Hoskins said before marching off but not before shooting the raptors a wary glance. "Idiot insensé (Foolish Idiot)" Barry muttered. Owen quickly drove his motorbike inside the inner gate and parked it right beside the controls.

"Next time tomorrow girls" Owen said as the raptors let out barks and squawks as he went out. Barry noticed the worried furrow on Owen's face "Worried about the pressing matter of sending the raptors into warfare?"

"They're my girls Barry, I can't just send them off to war" Owen said "I know Owen but with InGen running this place. I doubt they would get the freedom they need" Barry said as the men stared at the raptor paddock with thoughts in their heads.

Nighttime came and it was time for the lights to be shut down. One by one, Owen bided his raptors goodnight and left on his motorbike, making sure to check the control panels and security areas before heading off.

Blue always hated this. Never having to see Alpha early in the morning. The recent attack on Alpha had been a dream and a nightmare for her and her sisters. They almost lost their Alpha but they were stopped from pursuing the attackers because of the high walls.

Blue decided to take a nice sleep lest she would wake up crankier than Echo. The sisters settled in the for the night and fell asleep.

It wasn't even 3 hours before Blue heard the unmistakable sound of metal clanging. The noise reminding her of the long metal weapon that attacked her Alpha.

Her snarl awoke her sisters as they scented the air and noticed the unknown scents in their pen "Intruders on our territory" Delta growled "They may not smell like ones who attack Alpha but they might know them" Charlie deduced.

"Then let's go get them. I haven't even gotten my bite out of them!" Echo screeched. Blue squawking at them to stop their advances into breaking out of the foliage "I'll confront them. You circle around and make sure they don't escape this time" Blue said, voice deadly and cold.

No words were to be said as the sisters quickly separated and went into positions. Under the cover of the foliage, Blue quickly made her way to the sound.
