"They're all dying" Claire spoke, my eyes trailing over all the Dinosaurs still in the cages.

"The blast damaged the ventilation system. We did everything we could" Zia explained, her eyes dropping.

"You tried, that's all we can ask" I murmured, an arm wrapping around her shoulders and comforting her.

"I can open the gates from here" Claire stated, hitting a few buttons on a large control panel.

"Claire...Be careful" Owen said, a sigh escaping me as more of the dinosaurs tried to free themselves, "We're not on an island anymore".

The whirring of all the gates made he step forwards to watch all the cage gates lifting, the Dinosaurs all barging out before being prevented from leaving by a large steel door.

I watched as Claire lifted up the clear protective casing over the red button that opened said door, hesitating as Owen's word made her realize the situation.

"Claire, you press that button and there is no going back" He added.

"I can't let them die" She whispered, her hand still hovering before closing the casing.

A tear fell from my eye, the dinosaurs beginning to quieten, before I felt something wrap around me.

Looking down, I was met with the eyes of the young girl, Maisie, who was tightly cuddling my stomach, tears flowing from her eyes.

The others all watched as the Dinosaurs continued to struggle, my purple eyes on the button.

Before I could stop myself, my hand as well as Maisie's had hit it, the door beginning to open.

The others all spun, Maisie and I still looking at the button.

"We had to, they're alive, like us" Maisie spoke, hiding into my stomach again as I stood up, turning to Claire and Owen.

I sighed deeply, my arms wrapping around Maisie before lifting her to sit on my hip, noticing how tired she looked.

"We better leave before the cavalry arrives" Owen spoke, myself nodding before we all followed him outside.

As we were walking down the stairs outside, a quiet purr caught our attention as we noticed Blue make her way over.

"Hey Girl" Owen spoke before he calmed Claire.

Owen moved towards her, his hand reaching out before he stopped, Blue resting her snout in his palm.

"Blue, come with me" He said, Blue rubbing her head with Owen's hand making me smile, "We'll take you to a safe place, okay?".

I looked over to an empty cage that Owen glanced at, Blue noticing as well before she stepped back, going to turn away before she looked up at me with Maisie still cuddled into me.

"Moon..." She purred, a small smile gracing my lips as I made my way down to the female raptor.

Maisie whimpered in my hold making me shush her calmly, "It's alright, she wont harm you, I promise".

"Hello, little one" Blue smiled, Maisie looking up at her before noticing the blue stripes.

"Y-You're Blue" The young girl whispered in awe making me and Moon laugh quietly before Blue gently nudged Maisie making her giggle.

Once Blue was happy with Maisie, she looked up at me with relieved orange eyes.

"I am glad that you are alive, Alpha" She spoke, my eyes widening in surprise before turning to disgust as she licked up my cheek, turning and slowly running away with a bark of laughter before disappearing into the treeline.

"Troublesome Raptor" I muttered, Maisie giggling in my arms making me turn to her with a smile, "Don't you agree?".

-Time skip-

Owen had argued that I spend the last 3 weeks of my holiday with Maisie at his 'Cabin', Claire agreeing with him saying something about me being too young to look after Maisie.

Despite my disagreement, it was Zia who had convinced them.

I was a Raptor hybrid, the instinct to look after the young girl would make me the perfect candidate.

Gray was distraught at first, both his brothers moving out, before I introduced him to Maisie.

They became friends instantly, even though Gray was a couple of years older than Maisie, they didn't care.

My parents were proud that I was taking care of the young girl, offering to help me put her in school.

Clair and Owen, begrudgingly, took us all on adventures now and then, baby-sitting when my parents couldn't.

It was also Zia who came clothes shopping with us and then house shopping.

After all, she'd be living with us too.
