Travel to Jurassic World

Chapter 4

After the Mosasaurs show, the brothers wanted to grab a snack while Maya wanted to see the Velociraptors. The siblings agreed that they would go their separate ways before meeting up at the Gyrosphere ride. Zach and Gray went one way while Maya went another, searching for the Velociraptor exhibit. After getting her hands on a map of the park, Maya realized that the Velociraptor exhibit was a bit of ways away from the main part of the park. So, she needed to find a ride to get where she was headed. She managed to find some quad bikes parked off to the side and used one to get to the exhibit.

Upon arriving at her destination, Maya parked the quad bike she had borrowed before dismounting the bike. She walked up to the gate of the exhibit and watched as the Velociraptors ran through the forest habit of their exhibit. She counted four raptors in total when someone tapped her shoulder, startling her.

"Sorry miss, didn't mean to scare you. But, this part of the park isn't open to the public," a man tells her.

Maya looked at him for a moment before her eyes caught a glimpse of his name tag. His name was Barry.

"I apologize Mr. Barry. My aunt Claire gave me a VIP access band and truth be told, when I first learned about this park and its "attractions," I've had a interest in Velociraptors. They remind me of wolves in a way." she explains to him.

Barry had a slightly frightened look on his face at the mention of Claire's name before it went away.

"My apologies, I didn't realize that you were Claire's niece. Please, follow me this way and you can meet the raptors for yourself." he tells her.

Maya smiled a little bit before following Barry up to the catwalk that overlooked a part of the exhibit. He told her the names of the Velociraptors when he pointed them out to her, mentioning that they were sisters.

"Pig loose!" someone shouted before a pig began squealing as it ran.

Acting fast, Maya grabbed a nearby snare pole and walked a bit down the catwalk before putting the snare pole down into the exhibit to catch the pig. She had success, until a raptor came out of no where and snatched the pig up before running under the catwalk, which caused Maya to fall over the side of the railing of the catwalk since the pig had still been in the snare pole when the raptor took it. Luckily for Maya, her instincts kicked in and she was able to land on her feet instead of hitting her back on the ground. When her feet hit the ground, it gained the attention of the other three raptors in the exhibit. Blue, Charlie and Delta began to approach the girl, growling. Charlie and Delta were heading in her direction from the sides while Blue came from the front.

Now the oldest Mitchell sibling had a secret. She was more evolved then a normal human. While the scientists at Jurassic World wanted to reincarnate dinosaurs, scientists in a government facility sought out making humans better. Maya had unfortunately been one of those subjects and she survived the trials. It was why she was still in an orphanage at sixteen before Karen and her husband adopted her.

So, she stared down the three raptors that were approaching her. The growling of the raptors triggered Maya's inner animal which just so happened to be a wolf. (Like I said, evolved human.) She growled back at the raptors in defense. She watched as Charlie and Delta seemed to share a look of confusion with each other as the growl from Maya had been animalistic while Blue continued to approach her. She only stopped when Maya's eyes changed from their natural color to a golden-yellow.

Maya's humanity was slowly starting to slip away as the wolf inside her began to take over when suddenly, someone was standing in front of her. It was a man with light brown hair who was wearing a blue button up shirt with the sleeves pushed up and a brown vest was over the shirt, he was wearing a pair of blue jeans too. He had his right hand out in front of him, as if to try and keep the Velociraptors back.

"Blue, stand down...stand down." he says to the raptor in front of him.

Blue only hissed quietly before snapping at the man.

"Hey, hey! What did I just say?" he scolded her.

The man put his left hand out to the side as one the raptors tried to close in from that side.

"Delta, I see you. Back up." the man tells the raptor.

Said raptor only let out a roar in response. Maya continued to stand there, in awe, watching the man in front of her hold his ground against three Velociraptors. She noted the raptors' behavior and came up with a sound thought. The man in front of her must be the alpha of the pack, it explained why the raptors weren't really trying to attack him. Charlie, who was to the right, decided to move forward when the man moved his right hand to keep the raptor back.

"Charlie, stay right there." the man tells her.

Suddenly, Maya was yanked backwards as Barry had reached out to grab the hood of the hoodie she had been wearing and pulled her out of the paddock. The brunet man had started to slowly walk backwards to the gate.

"Close the gate," he requested, still keeping his attention on the three raptors in front of him.

"Are you crazy?!" Barry asked him in a bewildered tone.

"Just trust me," the man said.

Maya looked at the back of the man in the paddock before turning to Barry.

"Close the gate," she says.

Barry muttered to himself, in what Maya made out as French, before hitting a button that would close the gate to the enclosure. The man in the paddock continued to keep the Velociraptors at bay as the gate slowly closed before he ran towards the gate and slid under the small opening before it closed entirely and the raptors hit their heads on the metal bars.

Barry helped the man up off the ground before leaving him and Maya alone.

"Name's Owen Grady. You know, this enclosure isn't open to the public." he tells her.

Maya giggled slightly, "Nice to meet you, Owen. I'm Maya. Mr. Barry told me the same thing but, had a change of heart when I mentioned my aunt." she says.

Owen looked at Maya in curiosity, "Who is your aunt?" he asks.

He was curious to know who this girl's aunt was that made Barry bend the rules, and let her see the raptors.

"Claire Dearing is my aunt. Pretty sure she works here since she was the one who invited me and my brothers here and gave us VIP access bands." she tells him.

Owen looked at the girl in surprise, he had no idea that Claire had family visiting while Maya paled a little. She had completely forgotten about her brothers.

"I'm sorry Mr. Grady but, I've gotta get going. See you around, hopefully." she tells him before she turned around and ran towards the quad bike.

She quickly mounted the bike before taking off back towards the main part of the park. She had just missed her aunt who had just climbed out of her car and approached Owen, needing to talk to him.
