JPV: Life Finds a Way: Chap. 5 part 2
By Mr Goodbytes
Chapter 5 part 2: Baryonyx escape.
She rose to her feet slowly. Her limbs felt heavy and sore. Yawning, she began sniffing the air. She noticed that one of her nostrils were clogged. The female Baryonyx raised her clawed hand, and removed a chunk of dried blood from her snout. Sniffing again, she smelled the sweet scent of Simone’s perfume again. She bellowed, and began pounding the wall of her cage. The metallic bars gave way easily. Armed men and women swarmed around her from all directions, yelling and shooting at her. They wouldn’t stop her this time. She lowered her head, and rammed three humans standing in her way. Their tiny bodies looked like rag dolls as they flew through the air. She knew that the smell was close, and she was determined to find it.
“Why are we hanging around the compound still,” Nedry asked, “It’s dangerous.”
“So is going into that jungle,” Hank replied.
“We could sneak aboard one of their vehicles,” Billy said, “It would be risky, but it could be done.”
“Or,” Grant stated, “We could try to use their radio.”
“This is pointless,” Simone whined, “We are never going to get off of this island.”
Without warning, the gigantic form of the female Baryonyx smashed through the trees.
“Move now!”
The five humans scattered as the mammoth beast lunged at them. Michael Nedry barely escaped as the Baryonyx snapped her jaws. Turning towards Hank, the dinosaur roared and charged. Hank, thinking quickly, jumped between the monsters legs and ran in the opposite direction. The Baryonyx turned so fast that she lost her balance, falling hard on her side. She jumped to her feet, setting her sites on Simone Berry. She ran forward with unbelievable speed. Simone was cornered, unable to escape. The great beast approached, lowered its head. Her massive jaws opened to reveal two jagged rows of conical teeth.
Simone cowered as the monsters jaws moved closer. The smell of the dinosaurs rancid breath made her nauseous. Suddenly, the dinosaur closed its mouth. It was sniffing the air slowly. Simone closed her eyes, and braced herself for her impending death, but it never came. Instead, she felt a wet warmth sliding up her face. It smelled horrible. Opening her eyes, Simone saw that the dinosaur was licking her!
“Amazing,” Grant said to Billy, “Simply astonishing.”
They were all watching in amazement as the Baryonyx licked Simone’s face and rubbed its head gently on her.
“What do you think is making it behave like that,” Billy asked.
“I have no idea,” Grant replied, “It must be the way she smells. Her perfume perhaps.”
Simone walked slowly away from the dinosaur. As she moved, the animal followed. The Baryonyx noticed the others, and began growling.
“Simone,” Grant said calmly, “Do you have any more of the perfume you are wearing?”
“Yes,” She said, “I had two bottles with me. I think I still have some left.”
“Throw it to me.”
“Why?”
“Just do it.”
The Baryonyx continued to growl at the humans, but nuzzled Simone at the same time. Simone reached into her pocket, and threw Grant the bottle. Catching it, Grant quickly sprayed himself. He began moving close to the dinosaur.
“What the hell do you think you are doing,” Billy asked.
“Someone has to test my theory.”
Grant edged slowly forward. The Baryonyx roared, and lunged forward. She stopped almost immediately. Sniffing the air, she approached Grant. Bending down, the dinosaur started licking Grant as well.
“Oh my God,” Billy said with his mouth hanging wide open.
“I still can’t believe it,” Nedry said, “How is this possible.”
They had all sprayed themselves with the perfume, and the Baryonyx had the same reaction with all of them.
“The only thing I can think of is that Simone’s perfume has the same chemical composition as their pheromones. In this case, it must be the scent of their young, as it hasn’t tried to mate with us,” Grant responded.
Walking over to the dinosaur, Hank smiled and turned to the group.
“I have an Idea,” He said.
