Monica's past


"My past with teh raptors or my whole life story is that what your requesting Dr. Grant."

"Just Alan Is fine remember. But please not your whole life story but I'm mostly just curious about why your so calm despite the chaos around you."

"Very well then."

(Flash back POV Monica).

"When I was 7 I was exploring the woods near one of our family estates in Austria and while running through the trees I heard whimpering. My curiosity was peaked and I went to check it out.

When I came to the source of the whimpering I was horrified. 2 baby wolves were caught in a hunters trap And not only that but I saw their dead mother only a few dozen feet way however she wasn't shot she had been killed by a more aggressive pack of wolves who were circling the pups.

Acting quickly I pulled out my Lugar which I had gotten for my 6th birthday from my father however it only had 3 shots. I immediately made my presence known by Jumping out of my hiding place and standing protectively in front of the pups.

Firing one shot I managed to kill one of the 5 wolves however my 2nd shot missed but my 3rd shot wounded another wolf. After I realized my gun was empty I bolted back towards my family estate and sure enough the wolves were chasing me however I knew this route so I knew some good short cuts. 

I barely made it to the sate before teh wolves Finally caught me but Our family guards chased them off and I immediately Told them about the two trapped pups.

Taking a group of 6 guards with me we made it back to the Hunters trap and freed the two pups who were hesitant to approach us But I told the guards to back off while I slowly approached them.

Using some jerky I had taken with me earlier I held it out to  them and after a few minutes of hesitation they approached me. Realizing that without their mother these Cubs would die Out in the wilderness so I took them home with me. They growled at me when I reached out to pick them up but they eventually saw that I meant no harm.

When I got home I put them In the shed and stayed with them for hours. Overtime I began to train them much like we would with dogs but I soon found that despite wolves being saved they often got a little aggressive which resulted in me getting some bites from them But I refused to abandon them.

Over the course of the next 4 years I managed to tame them and while they would occasionally attack the staff and some of my cousins but for the most part they were tame. I actually spent most of my time in that estate to the point my father gifted it to me

Believe it or not when I was preparing to come to Isla Nublar the wolves sensing I was going somewhere refused to let me go and those little pests hid my bag in the dirt and It took me and the staff 5 hours to find my luggage.

Finally I was bale to calm them Down and I reassured them I would be back. 

It was that experience that taught me not all animals were vicious beasts however I never tried to tame crocodiles or alligators I don't have a death wish for Pete sakes. 

Anyway a more recent experience is what taught me that animals have a deep understanding o respect and loyalty.

Apparently the raptors were acting up again and they had scared more of the feeders and attacked their old paddock fence so I was sent to feed them Since I had been able to keep them calm and peaceful with how I handled them some time prior That method was giving them commands in German. 

When I arrived at the Paddock the raptors were now where to be seen. Feeling a bit uncertain I found the food crate and I grabbed a piece of meat and I ordered them to come forward..

However they were no where to be seen. I had a bad feeling that they had escaped and I opened teh paddock and closed it. I had only entered with a Tranq rifle because  I knew that they were more aggressive to feeders and handlers with rifles and guns. 

As I walked a little ways into the paddock I had no idea where they were but I got a feeling I was being watched. Turning around to face a bush near the path I was on I ordered them to come out and I would feed them fortunately the smell of teh meat I was carrying got the raptors to come out and surround me.

Despite their obvious aggressiveness towards me I knew that showing fear would make them more inclined to attack me so I stayed calm and I gave them their meat muttering commands in German for them to stay back. 

Fortunately I had enough meat to distract them Long enough for me to get out.

After that incident I was made Chief paddock Inspector which meant I had to deal with the dinosaurs more directly except the more dangerous Carnivores like the rex and raptors unless absolutely necessary."

(end of flashback).

"And that's the whole story." I say as I lean up against a nearby tree.

Alan and Lex were speechless but Tim was looking more giddy then a 4 year old when they've had sugar.

"wow you tamed the wolves and raptors." Tim says amazed.

"Ah ah. " I lightly scold him. " I have the respect of those wolves and I only held the raptors back briefly because I was showing them no fear but make no mistake one more minute in there and I would ahve been finished."

"What were the wolves names." Lex asks looking curious.

I simply smiled and responded. " The older one Is named recon since he liked to explore a lot and the younger one is seeker mostly due to him hunting a lot of small game when he was of age."

"Wow." 

Lex and time looked like they wanted to ask more questions but a yawn from both of them was enough for me to tell them and Alan that they needed sleep more.

However as they were dozing off Lex crawled over to me and asked if she could lay down next to me. I simply smiled and told her yes. I kept watch while they slept and at one point Lex wrapped her arms around my left arm and smiled. I was never close with my older siblings since they died in that tragic accident and My brother was always too shy to come visit me so I only saw him once in a while.

'Lex I may not have been able to bond much with my younger brother But I view you and Tim as younger siblings and I promise you that I will protect you.'

(POV Lex). 

I was curled up next to Monica and I didn't know why but Monica made me feel safe maybe it was because she saved us like grant and She comforted me when I was terrified of the rex.

I knew we weren't sibling s but regardless I view her as the older sister I wish I had.

At one point in the night I had a nightmare and woke up screaming fortunately Tim and grant were asleep but Monica was awake.

"what's wrong." she asks worry in her voice.

"I just had a night mare." I say my voice shaky.

"OK you alright." She asks moving closer to me.

"No I'm just scared that I won't make it off this island and see my parents again." I say while tearing up.

Monica wasting no time pulled me into an embrace which shocked me.

"Lex I know we aren't from the same family but mark my words like any good older sibling I swear I will protect you and Tim and nothing bad will happen to you I promise." She reassures me in a almost whispering tone. 

"Thank you Monica I Love you big sis." I say shocked I said that but Monica merely looked at me and smiled.

"I love you too little sis now get some rest you need it." She say a she lays my head on her lap while resting her arm over me protectively.

I felt safe and had no more nightmares that night and I knew that no matter what else happened my new sister would let nothing bad happen to me or Timmy and she would not abandon us like that no good lawyer did.

AN: Well one more chapter left of this arc hope you all enjoyed it. 

Quote: Love is often showed in simple ways and gestures and by showing it you can be a comfort and friend to someone in need.
