       "THERE SHE IS, GO do your thing Miss. Phoenix."

       "Don't fucking talk to me."

       Wheatley chuckles darkly at her as she jumps out the truck. "I'll still put a bullet in your brain"

       Katherine turns around so fast it gave almost everyone whip lash, she points at him with eyes narrowed. "Again, good luck trying to get the carnivores to listen to you. Especially when they're out of they're own territory they'll be more aggressive. Now shut the fuck up and leave me alone."

       She turned back around, knowing they won't follow her because of how close they were to Rox. The volcano already exploded, and it's only a matter of time before the ash covers the island completely. Katherine could only pray Owen woke up and is running away. She knows for a fact with how close they were to the volcano, how close the lava is for him.

       Katherine stopped in her place, the ground shaking roughly. She knew it couldn't be a possible earthquake from the volcano, no. It was her. A growl escaped her lips, her head popping out the trees. Katherine felt like she got bigger, she was definitely more taller, had more scars on her neck. She was different

       As Rox stalked forward gently, growling, Katherine backed up slowly, her hand outstretched. "Hey girl, remember me?" She stopped walking, reaching into her leather jackets pocket, she pulled out some raw meat that was in a bag, tossing it to Rox. At first it landed on the dirt, before Rox leaned down to sniff it. Katherine watched in anticipation before she ate it. The volcano exploded again, ash and rocks getting closer and closer. The t-rex looks up immediately at the volcano. She roars, before looking towards Katherine and stalking forward.

       "You know me. I know you do." Rox got closer and closer, before leaning down and smelling Katherine. She didn't move. She was kind of scared too. Her heart pounded in her chest so fast she knew the dinosaur could hear it. Her hair blew behind her as Rox snorted 

      Katherine bit her lower lip, before reaching her hand out slowly and making contact with Rox's snout. At first, Rox growled gently but Katherine hushed her gently, "You're okay. It's just me baby. You know me."

      Suddenly Rox cries out gently, a loud roar leaving her. She backs up, looking past Katherine and rushing forward. Katherine turns around to see Wheatley and two of his men firing tranquilizers at her. They kicked in faster than Katherine would have thought. Rox started to stumble, but then eventually collapsed. Immediately, she tried getting back up, but her weak and tired state wouldn't let her. Katherine rushes towards her, resting her hand on her snout once more for comfort.

       Once Rox was out of it, a military helicopter came over and dropped down straps and a platform. First they wrapped the straps around her body, lifted her up, and then placed her on the metal platform. They laid her flat down on her stomach, her tail and back legs hanging off. Katherine hated to watch. 

        Right before the military chopper flew away with Rox, Katherine noticed Wheatley pulling out pliers and moving towards Rox's mouth, obviously going to take one of her teeth. Katherine got in front of him, her hand up blocking his way. "I would not do that if I were you."

       Wheatley just stared at her. His face red and jaw clenched, but he listened to her, "Let's roll out!"

⁂

        "Let's get out of here!" Wheatley started shouting at everyone, trucks turning on and loading into the large boats, dinosaurs crying. It made her sink to her stomach seeing some dinosaurs being stabbed or hit while being in the cages. Every dinosaur there was freaking out, and she hated it.

       "Get your ass on the boat."

        "Put your fucking hands on me again Leo and we're gonna have a problem. Where's Owen."

        Leo rolls his eyes, shoving Katherine towards the boat, "Don't know and don't care."

        This made Katherine snap. She turned on her heel, her fist slamming into his jaw, knocking him back. At first he stumbled, but before he had the chance to recoil Katherine punches him again, causing him to land on the deck. She jumped on top of him, grabbing on the collar of his shirt and slamming him, her first also colliding with his jaw.

        Immediately, those around stopped working with whatever dinosaur they were working with and jumped to his aid. Someone grabbed Katherines arms from behind, pulling her off. As Leo goes to stand, wiping the blood off, Wheatley just glares at her,  "You're testing your luck more and more"

        She didn't even get to respond, she noticed Zia being held back by a few soldiers. A dinosaur screech filling the air was well. Blue. She pushed the man off of her and ran towards the Zia.  Blue was behind her, strapped down and crying out in pain.

        Katherine glared at the men holding back a thrashing Zia. "Let her go right now or I swear to God." The soldiers didn't argue. Instead they dragged Zia towards the back of a truck where they moved Blue too. Leo grabbed Katherine and threw her over his soldier, ignoring the shouts from her. He dropped her in the truck as well. Leo didn't speak one word as he left, closing the tarp behind him.

        Zia lets out a sigh of relief when she saw Katherine. "I thought they killed you. Where's Owen, Claire, and Franklin?"

        Katherine gives her a grim look. "I don't know. But they're smart. Owen is smart, he's probably waiting to get on the boat as we speak."

        Zia shares a worrisome look with her. "Yeah I hope so."

        Noticing Blue struggle and panic move, Katherine moves to the front of the raptor, gently stroking the side of her neck, "Shhh baby, you're alright. I'm here." Blue makes eye contact with her, with the familiar eyes of recognition. Blue huffs and puffs here and there but Katherine knew it was more out of pain, so she kept stroking her rough skin. Hearing another dinosaur cry, Katherine gets up and moves towards the edge of the truck, pulling back the cover.

        Her eyes started to water at the sight of the probably last remaining dinosaur of the island. It cried loudly, the smoke and flames and lava coming up quick behind it. It stood at the edge of the dock, staring sadly at the boat. If anything Katherine wanted to turn the whole boat back around, pick it up, and then leave. But a part of her felt like dying would be better to wherever these poor dinosaurs are going to go or what's going to happen to them.

      Katherine was unaware of the tears slowly dripping down her cheeks as the smoke filled with toxins slowly wrapped itself around the Apatosaurus. The whole boat was quiet as everyone watched the poor dinosaur. The smoke wrapped itself around the dinosaur, which let out a pained and sad bellow. The only way of seeing the dinosaur standing on it's back legs to try and get as much hair as possible being the lighting strikes and fires lighting up the smoke.

       The Apatosaurus gives out one more bellow, right as the gate closed
