InGen High p17
By CeratosPit
Back outside, Al, El, Billy, Rob, Paul, Mandy, Enrique, Nash, Cooper, Udesky, Roland, Ajay, Dieter, Carter and Burke were zigzagging through the tall grass trying to make their way to the school. They ran as fast as any human could through that grass, but the raptors definitely had them at a disadvantage. They were faster, fiercer and designed to chase prey through thick meadows.
Burke was last in line, and first to die. A pair of raptors took the big guy down, easily. Carter was the next to fall victim to their sickle-like claws and razor sharp teeth. After him, Udesky felt a pair of jaws lined with jagged fangs clamp around and snap his neck while a pair of bladelike claws insert themselves into his back. And, poor little Billy felt himself ambushed by one of the predators as well.
When the youngest of InGen High’s students felt himself pinned to the ground, he saw his brief life flash before his eyes. And then, he saw Ben Hildebrand lying on top of him, trying to kiss him. Not quite the vile predator he had in mind. “Ben!” the eight year old screamed, “What in the Hell are doing!”
“C’mon, Billy!” he yelled with a hint of insanity. “You know you wanna do this before you die, too!” But Ben’s intentions were never fulfilled. As he lay atop Billy, a velociraptor pounced on the perv and rolled him off of his victim. Billy stayed low as he ran back after the Al and the group. He paid no attention to Ben’s screams.
Ahead of him, Al, El, Paul and Mandy were running pretty close together and for the while they seemed safe. This was short lived though, when a rather young looking raptor popped out from their right and fastened his jaws around Mandy’s neck. With a scream, the punk girl fell down in front of them with a shrieking raptor on her back. El pulled Al forward, although it appeared he wanted to stay and help. Paul alone stood over the fallen figure of the girl he longed for.
“Mandy, No!” he screamed. "You're the only girl I ever loved! Well, besides my guinea pig. Rest her soul..."
But Mandy wasn’t out of the game yet! She got back up on her knees, grabbed the young raptor by it’s neck, pulled it off of hers and slammed it’s smaller body into the ground. Mandy stood up on her feet, loosened the now bloodstained iron sPike-studded choker on her neck and looked down on the little reptilian bastard. “Suck my ass, dinosaur!”
Just then, Billy ran through her legs and reminded them, “We’re not out of the woods yet, guys!” Mandy followed him, and Paul soon joined them. But not before an infatuated “Wow.” escaped his lips. Following them, soon afterward were Roland Tembo and Ajay Sidhue. This duo was cut short when a pair of raptors appeared to their front and another pair behind them.
The two young jocks were surrounded. They put on their helmets and faced their foes. “Hey, Ajay?” Roland asked. “How many blokes does it take to beat a posse of man-sized dinosaurs to the ground?”
“I’m hoping only two, Roland!” Ajay replied.
“Actually, just one.” Roland told him. “But if you’re going to be a baby about it, you can help me.”
At the end of the field, Al and El ran out looking behind them. Rob Muldoon soon followed them and behind him were Nash and Cooper, then Billy, Mandy and Paul, then Dieter and finally Enrique, who was out of breath. “Is everyone okay?” Al surveyed. They all shook their heads except for Enrique, who just wheezed. “Okay, that’s good.” Al continued. “Now, get into the building! Oh, but first, does anybody remember where the school’s entrance is? Cuz it‘s my first day, so I‘m kinda lost!”
Everybody pointed at Al and laughed. He just rolled his eyes and shrugged it off. Behind him, Ian Malcolm and Nick Van Owen opened the rather heavy school window and seemed surprised to see all the kids out there. “Ah, hello, children.” Ian said in a confused tone.
“Ian!” Al yelled. “Man, am I glad to see you! Dude, move over and let us in!”
“Nooooo…” Nick replied. “You guys move over and let us out!”
Their little difference of opinion was interrupted by the roar of the T-rexes, who could be seen wandering in the back of the field, searching for more little humans to feed on. One of them looked directly at them across the distance and motioned it’s mate to look at them as well. The rexes slowly began making their way to the kids gathered by the window.
“On second thought,” Nick changed his mind, “you guys better get in here.”
He and Ian stepped aside and pulled all the kids inside, one by one. The rexes were slowly accelerating their sPeed. By now, Dieter stepped in through the window. Enrique, still wheezing, stepped up to the casement. But before he could make it onto the sill, Roland ran out of the field behind him covered in bloody scratches, knocked his tubby ass off and climbed inside. Enrique got back up, but as he tried to clamber back in, one of the rexes pulled his screaming form back out and thrashed him around. The rex’s mate searched the field for limbs that flew off the young entrepreneur. It caught a tasty raptor instead.
“Damn.” El said. “That could’ve been me!”
Ian nodded, a little shaken. “Yeah, ah, I feel sorry for that guy Enrique.”
Mr. Thorne, who didn’t even notice what happened outside just looked at all the kids in his class. “Hey, man, do I have a class now that I didn’t know about or something? Oh man, I better call off that hooker I ordered over here…”
Sarah couldn’t believe the situation fate had thrown them into. “So let me get this straight. There’s dinosaurs outside, too?”
All the kids who just came in from outside shifted their attention to Sarah. “Wait a second, sucka,” Nash inquired. “You mean they’re also in here?”
“Well, we’re safe in this room.” Nick explained. “There were like, a thousand little chicken sized compy dinosaurs chasing us through the halls. Oh, and in the gym, there were these, like, smaller t-rexes with horns on their noses.”
“Ceratosaurus nasicornis.” Al identified them from his knowledge. “Dear God, how many sPecies did Wu’s birds mutate into?”
“Wu’s birds?” Sarah asked. “What’s going on here?”
“It, ah, all started with Wu’s science project--” Ian began explaining.
“Everybody shut up.” Roland demanded. He walked over to an air vent in the wall. “Does anybody hear that?”
Everybody focused their attention to the vent. There was noise growing louder from inside. It was the sound of hundreds of compies scurrying through the air duct and making their way to the room. “Holy crap.” Mike said. He didn’t have many lines, being a background character and all. “They found another way in!”
“What found another way in?” Ellie demanded.
“We have to block that vent with something!” Nick yelled!
“Too late for that, mate!” Roland said backing away.
Five compies knocked through the loose grate sealing off the vent, and within seconds, the first hundred got in. Everybody jumped onto the work tables to stay off the floor. The compies sPread across the room and attacked Thorne first, who was more in the dark than anybody there.
“Where do we go, now?” Mandy asked.
“To the High Hide!” Eddie pointed up to his rather obvious secret hiding place that nobody but him and Paul ever noticed. He pulled a remote control out of his pocket, pushed a big red button and two rope ladders fell to the table beneath them. All seventeen kids climbed up into the cage-like panic room. It wasn’t big enough for all of them though, and as hard as Dieter tried to squeeze in, the cheaply done hemp rope ladder ripped under his weight, and the tall German kid fell to the ground.
Everybody heard him scream beneath the compies as they bit off chunks of his skin. They could actually hear it change volumes and frequencies as certain organs were torn out of the neck and he began to choke on his own blood. It only ended when the compies ripped through his diaphragm and began eating his lungs.
“So…” Eddie pulled out a pair of plastic bags filled with herb. “We’re gonna be up here for a while. Who wants to get stoned?”
