IV : Monster
Blue snarled at Indoraptor, betrayal flashing through her. How could he do this? Why is he trying to kill Alpha? Many thoughts poured into her mind, but she found no answers.
As she stared into Indoraptor's amber eyes, she found nothing there but the ache of a distant, horrid memory trying to break through, to finally reveal itself to her.
He..
The piercing eyes flashed in her mind. But it wasn't Indoraptor's beautiful set of amber. It was the cold, unforgiving, red-orange eyes of the monster she had forgotten the name of. But now as she faced Indoraptor, she knew the name of the monster who haunted her dreams.
Indominus Rex.
Blue gave a broken, choking sob. "I should have never trusted you. Never cared for you," she hissed to Indoraptor, circling him slowly. "I shouldn't have ever loved you."
His eyes flashed with surprise. "What?" He echoed in a mystified tone. "You loved me?" Indoraptor didn't seem to notice the harm he was doing, what this was all about. "Yes, I loved you!" Blue cried. "I can't believe I did," she spat, baring her teeth at him. The two raptors circled around each other. "You're nothing but a monster," she growled. "An evil, manipulative, disgusting traitor who is too blind to his terrible actions to realize what harm he's done."
"Blue!" Indoraptor cried out. "Please, I don't know what you mean!" His words were true. Blue could see the genuine confusion and horror in his eyes. "Of course you don't," she growled half-under her breath, but sighed as she decided to explain it to him. "He," -Blue broke off to motion to the man with her head- "is my Alpha. He raised my siblings and I and saved our lives many times over," she explained, feeling protective over the man. "And you've been trying to kill him and his friends."
Indoraptor didn't seem to care about the humans. "You had siblings?" He asked, shocked. "You never told me you had siblings. Where are they?"
She glared at him. "They're dead," she mumbled sadly in answer. "But you're missing everything I just told you. You don't even care."
"I.." Indoraptor couldn't seem to think of an answer. "Blue, I'm so happy to see you," he began. "But the fact that you like humans.. I thought I could trust you, but you walk all over me and betray me for these humans." He made a disgusted face at her. "The humans raised me and brought me here and kept me here my entire life. They fed me and introduced me to you. But I don't care for them," he pointed out. "Why can't you feel the same?"
She turned on him in an instant, snapping her jaws at him. "Because I'm not HEARTLESS!" She exploded angrily at him. "UNLIKE YOU, I HAVE A BRAIN. I HAVE A HEART. YOU'RE JUST A MONSTER CREATED FROM THE SAME MONSTER WHO RUINED MY LIFE," she screamed at Indoraptor, and lunged at his shoulders before he could say anything else.
Blue sunk her jaws into the back of his neck. Indoraptor let out a screech. "How dare you?!" He spat, outraged. "I CAN'T BELIEVE I LOVED YOU EITHER!"
The two dinosaurs were then brought into a head-on, violent battle, growling and hissing, biting and clawing. It was a bloodbath. Their anguish they felt was poured into their attacks. Blue still clung onto his neck, biting a huge gash open. Indoraptor screeched in pain, bucking and throwing his head backward to throw her off, but she clung on like a bug. Eventually, she lost grip and as she fell off his back, she let her claws rake his skin as she fell. Blue made impact with the floor, hissing in pain as her head bashed on the ground. Indoraptor took advantage of this and pinned her down, his claws digging into her shoulders. Blood welled from his claw tips.
Suddenly, Blue lunged forward and clamped her jaws around his neck. Indoraptor skidded backward, hissing as she refused to get off him. She heaved herself upright with her claws and balanced on his shoulders yet again. He snarled. "Is that all you can do?" He spat. "You acted like you were a better fighter than me," he said with a snort.
Blue jumped off of him and swung her tail under his feet as he whipped around to face her. Indoraptor gave a screech as he slammed to the ground. She bit down hard on his tail tip, pulling, and grinned as he gave a yelp of pain. "Okay, okay!" He yelled, panting. "I take it back, I take it back!" He wailed as Blue pierced his skin with her hooked back claw.
"You're pathetic," she growled as she backed away from him, watching him struggle to his feet. She couldn't rid of the wave of pity that passed through her as she saw the defeated look in his eyes, the fresh blood that glistened on his body. "Blue," he said in a hushed tone, a slight rasp to his voice. "Please listen," he begged. "Please, I need you. I'm sorry. Really sorry."
Blue stared at him, not having an answer. One part of her was screaming to put another wound on his body, and another was screaming to accept his apology and be his friend again. But instead, she found a balance inbetween. She was going to leave him be and never accept his apology. Then something sparked inside of her. Blue growled. She ditched her plan. "Nothing you say will fix this," she growled. "Nothing will ever make me forget this."
She took a step closer to him, and he backed up towards the window. "I'm not finished with you just yet, Indoraptor," she hissed, jumping up at him and pushing him out of the window. He gave a scream, flailing his legs as he scrambled to stay upright on the slippery, rain-drenched rooftop. "Wait!" Indoraptor's plea was laced with panic. His sides heaved as he breathed heavily, his luminous, handsome golden amber eyes were stretched wide with terror. Blue threw herself at him again, slashing with her hooked claws. As she made contact with the hybrid raptor, he stumbled backward a bit. Indoraptor met her attack with his own attack. He seemed to have give up his desperate pleas, and now his eyes glowed with the exhiliration of battle. The rain battered down, showing the true sunken look of Indoraptor's expression.
Through the battle, Blue didn't realize Alpha and the young human were on the rooftop as well. The two humans were farther away from her and Indoraptor, on the part of the roof which was glass. They stood, cowering, drenched in rain.
Indoraptor had noticed where Blue was gazing off to. He turned his head and spotted the humans. His eyes glittered with malevolence, and Blue was surprised to see the power of the evil in his eyes. She flinched. So much like Indominus Rex, Blue realized with a jolt of sad horror. "It's either your "Alpha" or me," Indoraptor's words brought Blue out of her misery, and he spat the word "Alpha" as if it tasted sour on his tongue. She turned to face him, beyond infuriated. "I'd rather anyone than you," Blue spat, snapping her jaws at him in a threatening manner. Pain flashed in Indoraptor's eyes for a brief moment, but he said nothing. He instead whipped around to face the humans, growling with rage.
He's going to kill them, Blue realized. Well, I'm not going to let that happen.
But before she could rise to action, the woman friend of her Alpha had appeared, banging a danger stick on the metal bars of the glass rooftop. Indoraptor raised his head at the source of noise, hissing with irritation at the new arrival. Blue watched as the woman raised the stick, and an odd red light beamed from it, and onto Alpha's chest. He gazed down at it for a moment, then looked back up at the woman. He gave his head a small nod, and a click with a high-pitched ringing came from the stick.
Indoraptor whipped around in an oddly swift, aggressive manner. He seemed to be hyperfixated on the red light. The realization dawned on Blue. He's a hybrid created from Indominus Rex. They were both made from humans. Humans made him reliant on human resources. She stared at the scene in front of her, watching it play out. That's why he is oddly violent and murderous. All these hybrids seem to be very hyperfixated on turning murder into a sport. Instead of a method for self-defense or food, unlike us normal dinosaurs.
Indoraptor lunged at Alpha, but at the same heart stopping moment, Alpha ran past Indoraptor and ducked. Hope flooded through Blue's chest. He's gonna be alright.
Then the weight of Indoraptor's jump made a hole in the glass, and he clung onto the metal pole with his claws, refusing to fall. Oh no! Blue began to panic, but then she stopped herself. That's enough. You shouldn't care for him! Stop it! She tussled with her jumbled thoughts, then she thought of a clever plan. Before Indoraptor could fully bring himself back up onto the glass roof, Blue threw herself at him and clung onto his back. The two flipped through the air, down.. down..
Indoraptor let out an agonized scream, a screeching, crying, desperate sound that seemed like a plea to let the pain come to an end already. She saw the pure, raw agony spread upon his face. His heaving sides. His panting, shuddering breath. She didn't want to look anymore, but an odd loyalty made her stay with him as much as she despised him. Blood trickled down his sides from where the triceratops skull's horns pierced through his body. It was a horrible, bloody mess that nobody wanted to go through. Blue saw his eyes struggle to stay open as he gazed at her. "I-I'm.." Indoraptor panted heavily. Each word he formed seemed to cause a great amount of pain.
"I'm s..orry.."
Blue turned her head away, not able to bear this anymore. She leapt off his body and slowly walked away, hanging her head low. She didn't even know what to think or how to feel. It was all a disaster. A terrible, sad disaster she would be happy to forget.

Blue faced her alpha. They stood outside after they had escaped from the house. All the dinosaurs she had seen in the cages were now loose as well, running free into the forest.
Behind Alpha stood his friends, who stared nervously at Blue. She gazed back at them. I won't hurt you, she thought. I'm quite thankful for what you've all done for me.
Alpha murmured a few words Blue didn't understand to her. The only thing she recognized was her name, and the soothing reassuring tone his words held. Then he spoke to his friends in a reassuring manner as well as he reached out his hand to Blue's snout. Alpha gazed at her, a longing look in his small eyes. "Blue, come," he said softly. He had said some other things, though she didn't understand them. Blue looked over to the deserted cages that littered the ground outside. I trust him and his friends to not hurt me, but he's gonna put me back in a cage, thought Blue. I won't do that. Not again.
She began to slowly turn away, giving one last look at each of the humans. Then she sprinted away into the forest, to roam the world just as she had did before. Just like the velociraptors before her did. Although she didn't know them or anything that had happened way back in those years ago, before the days of man, she felt as though this was where she was supposed to be.
