Chapter 8: Indominus Rex, Wolf-Hybrid

Carlie's POV

"What the hell?"

I could hear the confusion in my dad's thoughts as the ferocious dinosaur turned wolf stared at us.

I didn't have much time to think though as the creature charged straight toward us. I was able to jump out of the way just in the nick of time.

My mind was flooded with memories on how this creature came to be. I, and several other scientists, had worked on designing her for years. Giving her the DNA of various modern day animals and prehistoric animals as well.

Me, being eternally young, wanted to give her my DNA in hopes that I would make her immortal. When I insisted on giving my DNA the other scientists were skeptical of course but I was granted permission to give her my DNA. So I took several strands of my DNA and included it in her genetic makeup.

"You gave this creature your DNA?" dad asked.

"Yes, my DNA was included in her genetic makeup. This was before I knew I could turn into an oversized wolf though"

"Carlie there is so much more to your DNA then you understand"

"What?"

"There is more then just wolf in there"

I looked into the mind of the creature that I had helped bring to life. She was confused, lost, and bloodthirsty. A feeling of sadness overcame me.

I remembered when she hatched. As creeped out as I had been by her I had also been equal fascinated by her. In her first few days of life I took care of her. I fed her. I held her. I cared about her. To me she wasn't just an asset. Or attraction to bring in money. She was a living breathing animal. Something that most of the higher ups failed to acknowledge.

She stared back into my eyes. I knew she could understand everything we were saying and thinking. After all we had engineered her that way. Giving her my DNA, which I thought was pure human at the time, I wondered what effect that could have on her intelligence level.

That's when I realized that she and I had at least one thing in common. I wasn't 100% human. Rather I was a hybrid of different creatures. I'm part human, but I'm also part wolf shapeshifter, and I'm also part something else according to my dad. What it is I still don't know.

She and I were both hybrids. Multiple species mixed in our DNA. I could understand her pain and her confusion. Because I was experiencing it to. She doesn't know what she is and I don't know what I am. We're both one of a kind.

When I looked into her eyes again I actually saw tears forming.
