War Dog ➳ Jurassic World

***UNEDITED AND VERY SHORT I'M SORRY***

I soon began running through the forest once the scent began to strength. The farther I ran, the stronger the smell got, that meant that I was getting closer to the boys.

The tree line broke to reveal on old tattered building. The roof was caving in and the walls weren't far behind. The wooden beams around the outside of the structure were nearly completely eaten away by time and grass along with bushes and trees had grown through the structure. The boys had to be here, they just had to be. The scent was too strong for them to not be.

I saw that the worn front door had been pushed open. Deciding it was probably where the boys would have went, I easily slipped through the opening and entered the building. The humidity inside the building skyrocketed and almost instantly my tongue began to hang out of my mouth as I panted.

The roof had a circle of skylights that allowed light to enter to building. The structure was nearly unrecognizable due to the overgrowth of the foliage. Tree roots had destroyed the floors, bushes and creeping vines had overtaken the walls and branches were beginning to break through the roof.

As I padded along the floor, I noticed there were puddles lining the floor. I took the opportunity to drink up some water. I'd done a lot of running in the past few hours and I was thirsty. I savoured the cold liquid and took a second before I walked off again, my footsteps echoing on the cold floor.

As I walked farther into the building and rounded a corner, a warm golden glow emitted from the center of the room. This one was darker than the other due to the lack of skylights. I looked around the bend to see 2 younger boys standing in the center of the room. One older with dark brown hair, a red shirt and grey hoodie holding what looked like a dinosaur bone wrapped with something that was on fire. The scent of bodyspray I had been following pointed directly at the older boy. And a younger boy with sandy blonde hair, a button up and a weird looking bag strapped around his waist. I huffed, mentally laughing at the weird pouch. Both boys seemed to stiffen at the sounds of my panting. Where they scared of me?

"Zach... What was that?" The younger one asked as he held onto the older ones arm. Zach looked around the room, holding the fire out in front of him.

"I don't know.." He looked like he was getting ready to run if needed and drag the younger boy with him. I rolled my eyes and approached the boys, walking into the glow of the fire. Both boys saw me approach and calmed once they saw it was me. What were they expecting? A dinosaur to come and eat them? Oh wait..

"A dog?" The younger one whose name I still didn't know looked confused. Zach relaxed and knelt down on one knee in front of me. I wagged my tail and padded up to the boy, shoving my nose into his shirt. The scent was definitely the same as the hamster ball crash site, these were definitely Claire's nephews. I found them! Now I just have to find a way to get them back to Claire and Owen...

"Hey boy.." Zach began to rub my neck and I rolled my eyes once again and let him continue. I'll never turn down a good neck scratch. The younger boy still stood behind his brother.

"What are you? Scared of dogs?" Zach mocked, still rubbing my neck. The blonde boy came up to me, kneeling in front of me and beside Zach.

"No, I've just never seen one wearing an army vest" He pointed to the symbol on the side of my vest. Zach looked as well.

"That's the navy symbol." Zach looked like he wanted to add in an 'idiot' or 'moron' into the sentence, but kept that to himself.

"Does he have tags?" Blonde asked. Zach shrugged. I held up my head, tilting it upward to the boys could see the chain around my neck which held my tags. Zach grabbed them to take a closer look.
