Chapter 1

AN: I just want to say that I do not own Jurassic Park or any of its characters. I only own some of the plot and my own OCs. The story line does not really truly follows the main story line.

Just to inform you all. The story will mainly be written in two povs unless stated otherwise. One would be my OC, it will be in normal text while the pov for the main raptor of the story would be in bold.

"Rae! Are you there? Rae! Rae!" a male voice shouted waking me from sweet slumber. With a groan, I rolled on the bed and reached out blindly for the source of the voice. After a few unsuccessful attempts and the continous shouting, I finally managed to grab hold of the handheld radio.

" What Arnold!" I groaned.

"What took you so long to answer the damn radio?" He scolded.

"Well Ar. For starters how bout the fact that I had only got into bed two hours ago. Secondly, I just got off a 32 hours shift from removing plants that you scientists deemed unsafe to be in the enclosures after planting them." I mumbled still sleepy.

"Well you can get your butt up and start a new shift." Arnold answered.

"What! But…" I never got to finish my sentence before I got cut off.

" Don't but me Rae! It's important to stick to the schedule! The first guests invited by Hammond will be arriving in two weeks and everything has to be perfect!" Arnold rattled, leaving me no room to argue.

"Okay okay. I'm up." I growled, sitting up from my comfy bed.

"Good! Meet Simon for your assignment at the lobby in fifteen minutes." Arnold ordered before cutting the line. I pulled myself out of the bed and into the tiny bathroom that was connected to my room. I tossed the radio onto the shelf on the way. I took a quick shower and freshened myself.

Maybe a short introduction is appropriate at this very moment. HI! My name is Rae Akatsuki. I am a 17 years old girl that works as a gardener-slash-part time assistant park warden. Well to tell you the truth I don't work with a zoo with harmless animals like deers, zebras and hippos, whoops, hippos aren't really harmless. Well I work in a park that houses top notch predators. No, they are not lions or tigers or crocodiles or the like. The park that I work at is on a island somewhere, I really can't remember but that ain't the problem here. This park belongs to a guy Hammond and it displays Dinosaurs. Real life ones that he had a bunch of scientist recreates using some DNA or the sort. Yea so now you guys get the picture that I am in?

The temperature on this island is humid so I threw on a pair of jungle khakis, sleeveless grey vest shirt and then a jungle shirt over it. I pulled back my hair into a high ponytail and clipped the radio to my back pocket before leaving my room to find Simon.

Lobby

" We need you to go into the creature's enclosure to help remove this plant and plant these." Simon, head park warden, greeted me once he saw me and handled me a file of the plants involved.

"Morning to you too Simon. I'm fine this morning, thanks for asking." I answered as I took the file from him and flipping through it.

"You are going into the creature's home. Be serious!" Simon reprimanded.

" The creature is called a Raptor Simon. I' am being serious!" I answered, having this conversation for what the hundred and two time with him. Really he can just call the Raptor a Raptor and not creature. I mean, you don't see me going around calling people, people now do you?

I went to the greenhouse to collect whatever I needed and then headed towards the Raptors' enclosure. I placed my bag onto the floor and checked myself for my personal protective gear. Radio? Check. Knife? Check. Gun? Check. Gum? Check. Just joking, the last one is what I came up by myself. It helps me to keep the nerves under control. I mean, who won't be nervous when you are in a cage full of dinosaurs.

I scanned my card and unlocked the gates of the enclosure. When the door closed behind me. I really felt like I was really in the jungle and peeled both my eyes and ears out for any movement among the tress and bushes. Would not want any raptors creeping up on me to make me lunch now would I.

I saw the human enter my home again. I could not help but be curious about her as I had been when I first saw her three months ago and like all those times, I started to follow her, without her knowing of course. She was not stupid though. She knows that we are in here with her and is always alert to her surroundings but unlike the other two-legged creatures, humans, that we have seen, she does not use that black weapon that hurts, though she carries it.

She was also younger than all the other humans that we have encountered but was by far most the prettiest that I have seen so far. Her skin was lighter than most of the other humans, her scales, was it, was pulled back at the top of her head with no feathers to show that she was an alpha of the humans but the single red and black stripe at her right ankle (AN: It is an anklet) stated otherwise. After all, only alphas had those stripes around their ankles.

I had been following her around the enclosure for quite a while now. The other members of my pack knew to stay clear of her since when she spotted them she would leave and I would not be able to see her. That happened once and the next time it was someone who entered and I was really upset. I stopped when I noticed that she had also stopped and placed her baggage on the ground. I crept a little closer for a closer look.

I finally managed to find the one stupid plant that I was supposed to remove after an hour search. I pulled out a strip of gum and popped it into my mouth before starting on the removal of this stupid flower bush.

Suddenly, I heard a snap sound and I immediately shot up, hand at the butt of the gun, eyes scanning the thick bushes surrounding me for anything. I could not spot anything but a second scan made my blood run cold. I could see two large amber cat-like eyes staring at me through the bushes. I swallowed not daring enough to look away; I gripped the butt of the gun harder but did not draw it. I did not want to startle it into attacking me.

It felt like an eternity had passed but the raptor still did not move to attack me and I was starting to feel irritated. This is what little sleep does to me. I wanted to get the job over and done with so I could go catch some much-needed sleep. So I took a very huge risk by returning to my work but shifted so that the eyes were always in my sight.

I was intent on getting closer that I accidently stepped on a twig that snapped alerting the human of my presence. I did not even had time to hide before she spotted me and we started to stare at each other. Her brown eyes were really beautiful, a rare thing among us raptors. She gripped the black weapon but did not draw it. Most likely not wanting to provoke me into attacking. Smart Girl.

We continued to stare at each other for quite a while until she seemed to deemed it safe and I was not going to attack before going back to tending to the plants but she shifted to keep me in sight. Not that I mind, I just continued to stare. I watched as she dug around the plant and worked to unearth it. It did not take her long to remove the plant and she replaced it with another plant that I would have to investigate later of course. The human had water running down her face and I was tempted to lick it off for her but I knew that if I was to even take a step out of the bushes she would not hesitate to draw her black weapon (AN: For those that still can't tell it is the gun).

It took me about fifteen minutes to carefully extract the unwanted plant and another fifteen to replace it with one of the plants that the scientist deemed suitable for the raptors. Hopefully this time they got it right and won't send me back in to remove it in like a month's time. I packed up my bags to go to another spot to continue planting some more of the suitable plant but my radio started to 'squawk' again.

" Geez Arnold! Are you trying to get me killed!" I hissed into the radio casting a wary eye to the raptor in the bushes that continued to eye me, not moving at all.

"Where are you Rae?" Arnold asked.

"In the Raptor enclosure." I answered.

"Haul your butt to the control centre now. Boss Hammond wants to speak to you." Arnold instructed.

"I still have a bunch of plants to plant Ar." I answered.

"Do that another day. Move it!" Arnold ordered, cutting the line on me for the second time this morning. I swear one day I will be the one cutting the line on him instead of the other way round!

With a sigh I picked my bag while still keeping an eye on the raptor that was still eyeing me. I slowly backed away until I was out of range from the raptor and made my way to the exit of the enclosure.

She was leaving! No! Stay! It has only been such a short while! Those were the thought that were running through my mind as I saw the human talk into a box with another human, a male. That very pissed, she had a male with her.

"She is leaving already Brother?" I heard my younger brother ask as he walked up to me.

"What does it look like brother, she is leaving." I snapped, knowing that it was unfair to vent my anger on my brother but I could not help it. I wanted to rush out and grab her between my teeth and drag her back to the nest but I knew that if I did that the other humans will force their way in to grab her back and I would not stand a chance to stop them.

"I did not mean anything brother but mother is looking for you." My brother informed me. Mother was the alpha female while I was the alpha male; she seldom took the lead leaving the responsibility to me. When she wanted to see me it meant that it was something serious of course. I nodded to my brother and we both headed back to the nest to find my mother.
