Chapter 13: Jurassic Park, Finale

Chapter 13

Yang and Ruby were busy engorging themselves on the buffet, unaware of the danger they were in. Yang was happily chowing down on a plate of fruit and veggies, with a side of Jell-O while Ruby was methodically working her was through cakes, pies, cookies and pudding.

"Well, there's one thing in this movie that is true to life about you, Ruby." Weiss teased, "You both have the same bottomless appetite for sweets."

"Sister!" Winter scolded.

"Now, hold on, Ice Queen Sr," Yang said, holding up her hand, "She's not wrong."

Ruby smiled at her sister until she noticed Yang's expression; she was looking past Ruby and whatever she saw had shaken her to her core, physically and mentally. Ruby turned around and saw the shadow of a raptor lining up with an image of itself. She quickly took Yang's hand and they ran for the kitchen. It was a large place, to be expected of a soon-to-be major theme park. There were rows of stainless-steel counters, ovens and several specialized appliances neither of the girls recognized. Yang quickly turned off all the lights before she and Ruby ran to the end of one row of counters and took shelter behind it.

The raptor walked down the hallway, it's toe claw clicking with each step, as it followed their scents down to the door of the kitchen. The tip of its nose could be seen through the small window in the door to the kitchen. Ruby poked her head out just enough to see the door and the window set in it. The raptor looked in with one eye and then fully faced the door, letting out a breath with a short cry. Scared, Ruby immediately withdrew her head back into cover, not knowing if the beast had seen her or not.

"We're in the denouement now, folks." Blake said, "This is where everything will be decided."

"Day-knew-what now?" Yang asked.

"English, please!" Sun teased.

Blake grinned at the jab. "Denouement, the final act." She explained.

"Then just say that next time. No need to get all arty on us." Yang said.

"I knew what you meant, Blake." Weiss said, trying to cheer her friend up.

Back in the bunker, Jaune pulled a shotgun out of the locker where Qrow had kept Harbinger. He loaded it and chambered a round. He was never much of a marksman, usually preferring close-quarters fighting, where he and Pyrrha had made for an unbeatable team. Unfortunately, he and Pyrrha had left Crocea Mors and Miló and Akoúo back in Vale, so he would make do with what he had.

"It's just the two raptors, right?" he looked over to Pyrrha, who was tending to Nora's wounds as best she could, "You're sure the third one's contained?"

"Yes. Unless they figure out how to open doors." She half-joked. They both knew from Qrow how intelligent these creatures were, so it was a definite possibility.

"Aw man, Pyrrha why you gotta jinx it like that?" Nora face-palmed.

As if summoned by the mere thought of it, the handle on the kitchen door began wiggling, slightly at first, until it turned all the way, allowing the door to swing open slightly. All the raptor then had to do was use its head. Literally, in fact. It used the tip of its snout to push the door open and unintentionally lock it there. It looked around, hissing, knowing its prey was in here somewhere.

"Ya see?" Nora said, exasperated, "Jinx!"

"That's usually my job." Jaune joked.

"Ruby, what is it?" Yang whispered.
