The dinosaur dork (Zach Mitchell fic)

Chapter 6

"We have to find your aunt Claire!" I said. Luckily the boys listened to me and we started to run. Me in front, leading the way, grey in the middle, and zach behind us. After about a minute we ran into Zara. Literally. We bumped into each other on and she was clearly freaking out.
"We're all going to die. Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god. We're never going to make it" she cried
What was the matter with her? I mean, yes, I understand that this is a terrifying situation, BUT THERE ARE FRIGHTENED KIDS BEHIND US WHO NEED TO KNOW THAT THEY WILL BE FINE! I looked behind me to see that grey was on the verge of tears and even zach looked scared.
"Come with me-"
Before I could finish, a pterodactyl swooped down and snapped at zara's head, lifting her up in the air. I quickly covered grey's eyes and was crushed to find that my hand was becoming wet from his tears.
This poor boy had just watched someone die in front of his eyes.
I quickly snapped out of my trance and told them to keep moving and that we would be okay. After about three minutes of running, I saw Owen. He had a gun and was shooting as many pterodactyls as he could.
"Get down over there, boys" I yelled to zach and grey. The went and hid in a hut were we normally sell Jurassic world merchandise. I ran over to Owen and I saw Claire there as well. Good, she's safe. Just as I approached the circle of people, a pterodactyl came straight for Owen. Of course, me being me, I pushed him out of the way and the pterodactyl landed on top of me, knocking me down. I was pushing it away from my face but all I could think about was 'damn my leg hurts.' All of a sudden, a gun started shooting at the pterodactyl that was on top of me, killing it. I looked up to see Claire with a gun in her hands. Before I could even thank her, Owen came and hugged me and then kissed Claire. 'Oh my goodness! Did I miss something?' I thought to myself. I gave Owen a look that said 'we'll talk about that later' and seemed to understand. Zach and grey ran over to us and Claire fell to her knees and kissed grey's forehead like 10 times. And then she stood up and did the same to zach. Claire grabbed them both for a group hug. Zach was so uncomfortable that it would have been funny in a different situation.
"I was so scared I had lost you" Claire whispered. Then she seemed to notice me
"ANNABETH!" She screamed and pulled me into a hug " thank you so much for protecting my nephews. I don't know
How I can repay you."
"As long as they're safe, that's a good enough reward" I replied.
Owen, Claire, zach, grey, and I began to walk toward the control room and Claire was on the phone with Larry
"We are on the way back towards you" she said
"What do you mean by 'Hoskins wants to use the raptors'?"  She continued after Larry said something to her
"Son of a bitch" I sighed. We all stopped in our tracks. The doors behind us were beginning  to burst and a whole swarm of people began to run towards us
"Get somewhere safe now!" Owen screamed. We all ran towards a car in the middle of our path and got in. I tried to hold my vomit back, and I did for a while, but then when Owen stopped the car abruptly, I just couldn't anymore. I rolled down the window and threw up right there. I was so embarrassed.
"I'm so sorry." I explained
"Are you alright?" Claire asked. I don't think she meant to but she sounded like she was judging me for puking. I guess it's not her fault, she just didn't know. I didn't like to talk about what happened to my parents.
"Claire," Owen said warningly while slightly shaking his head no. I took and ate four mints that were left in the car. "Okay, we need to get the boys somewhere safe and then we need to go and stop Hoskins from touching my raptors" I said
"No way! I'm not leaving you, annabeth!" grey protested. Zach nodded his head once as if to say that he agreed with his brother.
" I see you've made quite the impression with my nephews" Claire said. I tried not to think about my leg too much, but I knew that all this running can't be helpful.
"I can't risk your safety" I said to grey.
"But we are safest when we are with you. No one will protect us better than you" Zach replied.
"But you won't need as much protection if your not with me because you won't be in as much danger" I retorted
"I'm staying with you no matter what." Grey said matter-of-factly.
Owen drove us to the raptors' cage and I didn't throw up once! (I know, I know, I'm so proud) before the car even came to a complete stop, I jumped out the car and ran up to Hoskins.
"Look, the princess has finally showed up to-"
I punched him in the face before he could even finish the sentence.
"Oohhh" I heard zach say
"Don't touch my animals!" I yelled
"How many people have to die before this starts to make sense to you?" He screamed
"THIS ISNT A RESQUE, ITS A FEILD TEST!" I shouted
"This is happening with or without you" Hoskins answered
We all meet up in a small circle around a table with a map of Jurassic world on it. I point to it,"we know that she is at sector five. When my raptors get on target, and they will get on target, wait to engage. Velociraptors are pack hunters.
They like to circle their target and kill it from all directions. This is a simple sent hunt. We've done it a million times. When we find the indomanous Rex, that is our only target. Do not shoot my raptors.....please" I explained.
Then I went to talk to my precious raptors.
"Easy, blue, take it easy. Good girl." I said to blue
"Hey, Owen" zach called
Owen turned and began to talk to them.
"Are they safe?" Zach asked. I could tell that Owen considered lying but then he decided to tell them the truth.
"No, there not, kid" he answered
"What are their names?" Zach asked
"Well we have Echo,Delta, Charlie, and Blue. She's the beta" he said pointing to each of them when he said their names. I was by blue stroking her head and trying to soothe her.
"Who's the Alfa?" Grey asked
"Well that, my friend, would be annabeth" he said. They both giggled but I just rolled my eyes.
"let's get this show on the road" Hoskins yelled. I got on my own motorcycle while Zach and grey got in the back of a van where they would be protected.
We all started to drive. I like the motorcycle more than the car because it felt more like I was just on my bike. The raptors were ahead of us and we were following them. We gave them each a sniff of a chunk of the indomanous' flesh so the raptors could find it. When they came to a halt, so did we. We got of or motorcycle and got in position to shoot. The raptors stood in a circle around the Rex but did not attacking. They started to make noise, almost as if they were communicating to each other.
"Something's not right here" I said quietly
"I think I know why the scientists didn't want to tell us what kind of dinosaur that was," I said as the raptors turned to face us, "that thing is part raptor" I answered
