I opened my eyes and stretched. I had fallen asleep leaning on Angel .She was almost wrapped around me as her head was on my stomach and her tail was almost touching my thigh.

I smiled as I gently moved her head off me. I slowly stood up. It had been a week since that night.

That night that I killed the spino and also the night...that Jason died. In the past week nothing had really special happened other that raptors had laid their eggs. Somedays I hunted and others I stayed at the nest. I guess it was kinda borring but at least I got some much needed rest.

I walked over to the stream,formed a cup with my hands and dipped them in the water. I brought it up to my face to drink.

The water was bitter but refreshing. Once I finished I stood up and walked back to the tree and sat on the ground.I almost fell back asleep when The raptors started waking up. I stood back up and grabbed my pack,slung it around my shoulders and grabbed my M1 Garand.

The raptors liked to go hunting first thing in the morning. I Rolled up my sleeves and cocked my rifle.I looked for anything else I would need to bring. I remembered that I need to fill my cantteen. I moved over to Angel who was lapping water out of the stream. I bent down beside her and filled up my canteen with the looked over at it and sniffed it. I brought it up to her so she could fulfill her curiosity.

She lapped at the water on the top of the lid making me chuckle. I rubbed her brow."Your funny." I said standing up and tieing the canteen on my pack. She barked orders to the pack and tugged on my shirt. I suppose it ment I was going hunting. "Sweet!" I thought anxiously. Going hunting was the highlight of my day. I never knew what would happen good or bad.

I mean sure guarding the nest wasn't worse than cleaning the shitters in Iraq but it still sucked. All I could do all day was sit staring at a pile of eggs. Waiting, almost begging for something to happen. I don't think any dinosuar is dumb enough to try and steal a raptor's eggs. I jogged over to the raptors who were waiting on me.

As soon I got to them we took off. For about an Two hours of running through the thick jungle we finally stopped at a huge feild and we crouched down. There all kinds of dinosuars in the feild from Brachiosuarus to Galimimus. I noticed all the raptors were sorting through all the possible kills.

I noticed all three gallimimuses sleeping away from the positioned so that the feild was in front of them but the jungle was in a small U-shape around them. "Perfect!" I thought.I slowly moved around the raptors up to Angel who looked at me.I silently pointed to the galimimuses the studied them

I looked at her."I got an attack plan." I looked at Angel, She looked back at me."I'll go up directly in front of them and shoot the big one. While I do that you guys attack from their flanks and then BAM! We got three of em."I whispered almost over enthusiatically.

She seemed to nod and nuzzled my Head. She then growled something at the pack and then moved she looked at me then followed the rest of the pack.

"Okay John lets do this." I said quietly to myself as I stepped out into the open.I Looked at the Prey,The biggest one was my target. I crept slowly up to the sleeping dinos. I stopped when I was about 15 yards away. I went down on my knee and looked down my sights at the biggest Gallimimus. I switched off the safety, Slowly exhaled and Squeezed the trigger.

The shot echoed through the trees waking the Remaining sleeping Gallimimuses, Startling every Dinosuar in the area and ending one dino's life. I watched as the raptors sprinted out of the trees and pounced on the other two Galimimuses Sinking their deadly killing claws into them.

They killed one but the other rolled knocking the raptors off and Came Running at me"Oh really!"I Yelled as I blew a hole the size of a half dollar coin through it's head. It faceplanted and skidded to my feet dead.

"Damn I'm a good shot"I said looking at the hole in it's head as raptors came over and Devoured the galimimus. I had finished eating and stood about ten feet away from them.

I felt hot breath on my back.I looked behind me at a male who nuzzled my shoulder, I guess his way of saying thanks."Your welcome." I said rubbing his chin.

Angel growled at him and he backed off.I grinned at her as she came over and licked my face.I rubbed her snout "Your jealouse aren't you."I said grinning. If my eyes weren't messing with me she looked sheepish."I laughed softly"It's alright." I slowly rubbed her brow. She purred softly pushing into my hand.I heard a roar in the distance,sounded pretty big.

Angel looked away and barked to the pack. I unslung my rifle,It was wicked humid out so I took my over shirt off and tied it tightly around my waist exsposing my torn up blood stained what used to be white under shirt.I had the worst farmer's tan ever, I looked at my Marine corps tatoo on my shoulder.

The tatto looked like the Eagle,globe and anchor covered in flames and underneath it said Semper fi til I die.

I smiled as I thought about the day I got it. Back then things were simple wake up go to work and sleep. I didn't have to worry about dinosuars attacking ,eating or chasing me. I almost longed for those days. But whats the point of wanting something you can't have.

I sighed and grabbed my gun and followed Angel to the pack. I looked up at the sky noticing clouds rolling in. "Oh yay its gonna rain soon." I muttered sarcastically to myself

Angel looked curiously at me almost as if asking if I was ready. So I figured I'd reply. "I"m all set." I said shrugging my snorted and then jogged off into the woods as the pack and I jogged after her. After what felt like hours of running and jumping through the woods I started to reconize the surroundings when suddenly it just downpoured. It was like God took a huge bucket of water and dumped it on the island. It was so powerful it almost knocked me down the small hill I just climbed.

I sighed and trudged on after the pack as the rain beat down on us. Its didn't take long for the ground to turn to slippery mud as I tried to keep up but seeing how they could dig their claws into the ground to get traction and I couldn't,I started to fall behind. I noticed them cross over a stream on a fallen tree. They did it so gracefully and confidently.

While I on the other hand was having second thoughts as I approached said was about a half foot wide and about twenty feet long and I didn't see anyother way across without getting even more drenched so I cautiously put one foot on the log,seemed sturdy so I put my other foot and inched my way across. "Thats it John-boy...just..one..foot...in front..of..the other." I mumbled to myself.

I succefully made it halfway and started feeling more confident,so I started to move faster when I slipped and fell smashing my face off the log and slowly slid off to the cold stream 10 ft below. I laid there dazed in the water. My face felt like it got hit by a train.

A crack of thunder woke me from my daze. I stood up and swayed a little but soon got my balance back and the world stopped spinning."I knew that wouldn't end well." I said spitting out a glob of blood and picking up the stuff I dropped.

A small chirp to my right jumped me I spun around gun drawn only to come face to face with Angel. I lowered my gun as Angel approached me. She whined a little and nuzzled my shoulder."I'm alright, I just need to get ot of the water." She seemed to nod and turned around and ran to the pack.

I took a quick look around and quickly joined the pack.

I bet we hadn't even been moving for five minutes when I heard a high pitched wail that sent a chill down my spine surprisingly close. All the raptors froze in place and growled.

"Not good."I said under my breath. I looked at Angel as she barked some orders to the pack. I watched as all of them ran into the bushes,Leaving Angel and a male raptor behind. I started to follow when Angel stopped me with her tail.

I looked at her surprised. I didn't exspect her to want me to go looked back at me and I looked back at her.

I smirked She new I was a valuable asset to the pack. I moved beside her as we slowly creeped through the bushes looking for the source of the wail.

It wasn't long before we heard it again. This time to our right and it was much much closer. All three of us spun around. I slowly moved forward while the raptors stayed in their places hunched down ready to pounce. I attached my bayonet to my rifle just in case something wanted to get up close and personal. looking forward I noticed something moving behind the bushes.I squinted trying to see through the brush.I had taken one more step when I noticed a Golden eye looking at me throught the bush.

I could just barely make out the outline of a head..a raptors head. "!" Is basically what I thought at that it clicked it was a trap. The trap that the pack and I set up for hunting the raptor in front of me was the distraction while the pack took the flanks.

My eyes widened in fear and to confirm my fears I heard the snaping of twigs to my right and left then the raptor in front of me was fast but a bullet was faster as I fired three times and hime him in the chest,neck and head ending his all hell broke loose.

Eight raptors came out of the forest Four on each side,all of them lime green with yellow around their eyes."Look out!" I shouted firing apon one killing it instantly as it leaped for me. One of the raptors pounced on the Male raptor from behind while he was fending off another one, sinking it's deadly killing claws into his back and tearing a huge chunk out of his neck killing him. "Oh shit!" was all I could say as his blood splattered on my face.

I raised my gun and shot two of them killing them. While the rest just circled me and Angel snapping at us occasionally trying to fing a weak spot. I knew I didn't have many bullets left in the clip.

I had lost count on how many rounds I fired, so I hoped I hoped I had enough to finish them off. I fired at one peircing it's heart killing there was three raptors left. I watched as Angel pounced on one sinking her killing claws into the Raptor's Back and ripped into it's neck. The raptor shrieked in pain, The other raptor seeing this ignored me and and lunged for Angel who saw this coming and used her body weght to roll her and the dieing raptor over to the ground.

The raptor that leaped didn't expect that and overshot leaping over Angel and crashing into a tree. I took aim and sqeezed the trigger...CHING! was the sound the clip made as it was ejected."Fuck!" I spat Angel jumped to her feet and savagely attacked it. I heard a twig snap behind me I spun around gun drawn.

In front of me was the biggest of the raptors he was covered in battlescars and missing his killing claws. "This must be the Alpha of their pack." I thought as I franctically took aim. The Alpha Sprinted at me, I Sqeezed the trigger...nothing happened

"Shit I didn't reload!" before I could raise my gun to stab it with the bayonet it was already apon me. He knocked the gun out of my hand when he landed on me. He lunged his head forward as to bite me but I raised my left gauntlets protected arm and blocked his would-be deadly attack.

Then he squeezed harder and actually puntured the guantlet "Shit your strong!" His teeth were actualy drawing blood throught the guantlet. I Punched him in the eye with my right guantlet covered hand trying to get him to let go.I couldn't get to my knife so I improvised.

I felt the ground around me looking for a sturfy enough stick. My finger grasped one and I pulled it closer. It was a thin snapped tree branch with a little point. I jammed it into his eye. He howled in pain I kicked him off me. I tried to get away but he recovered and was now enraged I glanced at Angel she was locked in a feirce battle with the other raptor.

I was on my own. Rolled just in time to avoid his clawed foot from impaling me. I grabbed my knife with my right hand and tried to stab him but he saw it coming and ducked and bit my wrist crushing the guantlet. The pain was so severe I dropped my knife. "Rhrrrhrhrrhhr!" I shouted in both pain and anger as he continued to crush the guantlet and crushing my wrist.

I Sucked it up and forgot the pain and focused on survival. My knife had landed on my left side. The Alpha was pinning me down with his foot so I couldn't roll towards it.

I reached for it, It was only centimeters away from my fingers. The pain was growing stronger I could feel my bones start to fracture. I reached one more time and grasped the handle and jammed it in the Alpha"s neck and twisted. He howled as blood poured out of his neck and released my arm. I ripped both guantlets off my blood dripping from them .

I got away from the Alpha and grabbed my M1 Garand I looked at the Alpha he still hadn't quit even with a foot long knife in his neck. he looked at me with blood lust in his eyes. Then he came at me again.I raised my rifle and charged "Just fucking DIE!" I Yelled as I shoved the bayonet deep into his chest as he pounced.

His own momentum impaling him further,and knocking me over. I rolled to my feet and spun looking at the Alpha who had now died...finally. I ripped the knife and gun out of him and and looked over to Angel who wan now on the back clawing the raptors stomach but the raptor was was about to deal the killing blow.

Without thinking I held my rifle like a spear and threw it with all my strength and to my amazment it impaled the raptor behind the jaw knocking it off Angel.

I quickly ran over to see if it was dead. Holding my knife at the ready, I noticed the raptor was still breathing slow labored breaths,it was all mangled up the rifle had fallen out and ripped a massive hole in its throat. blood was every where.

I took my knife and stabbed it in the back of the skull into its brain killing it instantly. I trudged over to a nearby tree and sat down listening to the rain fall trying to calm down.

Angel sat there looking at me panting. "You alright?"I breathlessly said getting up and sipping from my canteen. She seemed to nod and jumped up

"I'll take that as a yes." She came over and Nuzzled my neck as I rubbed her brow and snout. "We should get moving." I said as she turned away brushing me with her tail.

I loaded and cocked my rifle after cleaning the blade off the bayonet and then sheathed my knife.

I put my overshirt back on and rolled the sleeves up grabbed my pack and followed Angel. She stopped and nuzzled her dead pack member,paying her last respects to him. " I wonder if that was the beta raptor?...I wonder what rank I am in this pack?Eh..it's not like I can ask anyone anyways." I thought to myself as I walked by.

We had walked maybe twenty minutes when we arrived at the nest,The rain had stopped and it was late afternoon. All the raptors where sleeping in their nest Angel went to the stream for a drink and then laid down.. I walked over to the big tree by Angel and sat down.

I was exhuasted so say the least and I laid down against my Pack thought for a while about what my friends where doing right now on base and if im ever going to get off this Island. I pushed all those thoughts to the back of my mind and slowly drifted off to sleeep.
