Stick Together for Survival (Jurassic World: Book 2)

Chapter 4: Grim

Aspen smiled slowly, and gripped the back scale of the small white carnivore, the largest spine on it's back was a bit larger than her hands next to each other, touching.

Owen touched the back of her neck, and she twirled around, nearly kicking him.

"Easy there, Karate Kid."

"What?"

"Movie reference."

"Lame."

"Im not even gonna ask."

"Well now Im curious."

"It'll have to wait." He put his face close to hers as if he was gonna touch, but before he did, he spun around and grinned.

"Nope!"

"Get back here!"

"I thought you said Get lost.."

"No!"

"You were thinking it, you had that look."

"What look?"

Kiss

"That look."

"I don't feel so hot."

"You look hot, though." He winked.

"Im being serious."

Aspen suddenly started to stumble, and fainted.

"I tend to have that effect." Owen muttered, running to knock on the door of Hunter and Claire, whom were clearly a couple, as Hunter had been previously staying with Arrow.

"Oh hey Owen." Hunter put down his book.

"Whats Claire making you read now- er- Aspen is uh- unconcious." Owen said nonchalantly.

"What!" Hunter shouted, Aspen was practically his sister, which caused for worry.

Owen tried to stay calm, touching Aspen's side, breifly.

"The Lysine contingency, I'd bet my bottom dollar." Owen said, quietly.

"Yes, however soy has been added to our diet if you recall, so I think you've lost that bet."

"So what then?"

"She said she was having migranes."

"So? Is it some sort of Harry Potter thing?"

"Whats that?"

"You're a dissapointment."

Aspen suddenly shot up and hissed, her eyes dialated into slits, she shifted to her other version which was changed significantly, so much so that Owen had to stare for a minute.

This is what he saw:

He saw Aspen, except for she had webbing on her tail, with bone-like structures holding up the sides, like wings, she had another set on the ends of her tail, and on her back spine she had scale-like flaps, which were new. She also had webbing between the skin-scales before her claws. The quills on the back of her head were longer and more defined, with more webbing, and there were more, some on the edges of her eye sockets as well as along the top of her tail bone. She also had larger eyes with larger pupils that continued to grow into circles and shrink into slits. She had slight webbing on her back, followed by slight webbed bone-veins shifted into a wing-like shape, however very small.

She was getting more designs of silvery grey, as well. Her eyes burning with a slight flame-gold on the edges of the pupil, but still crystalic Amber-colored.

Owen glared, shifting his vision toward Hunter, whom was relaying the set of hisses and growls back at Aspen, and looking toward Owen.
