Chapter 3.
Settling down.

After playing many jokes on eachother, laughing, and getting angry. Drake and I finally relaxed. And the best part? he stopped leaving the island. He told me he wanted to stay. I tell him he should learn to catch his own fish, but he doesn't listen. Oh well. Maybe today will be different. "Since you're so worried about your wings getting wet, I can make the fish jump out of the water, then you can catch them." he thought about it for a minute then nodded. "That could work." he said lightly. Finally he cooperated, I'd still have to do most of the work, but at least he'd do part of it. I was tired of throwing them ashore so he could eat. I dove under water after he took off and soon, he had his fill of fish and I had mine. I hopped out of the water and yawned stretching across the warm sand. "Why do you let that stick on you?" Drake asked. "that's gross." I smiled a bit."it's warm, you should come join me." I invited moving my tail out of his way. I noticed an odd hint of blush on his cheeks, but I ignored it as he crawled over and cuddled next to me. I'd never had a wolf so close before, I blinked as he snuggled closer. It was warmer than the sand. I sighed gently and closed my eyes, feeling his wing over me as he fell asleep, I felt a strange bliss. Before I knew it, I was asleep myself. The next morning, Drake had cuddled even closer to me. I couldn't help but feel a bit embarrassed, but I waited until he woke up before getting up. He blinked and gave me a confused frown before shaking his wings clear of some sand. "where are you going?" he asked me as I went to sit on the edge of the sand. "I'm just sitting. I enjoy the cool breeze in the morning as much as the warmth on the sand." I explained. Blinking a bit.. "It's nice, isn't it Drake? Not having other wolves around. Being alone." He thought for a minute then sighed. "I don't like being alone." he said lightly. "I miss my friend Avian." I looked over at him lightly.....he really didn't remember. I lowered my head. Why would he? he didn't know me that long. "I guess I just don't like feeling trapped." I explained. Drake blinked. "having other wolves around and being trapped are different." I thought about it and nodded. He was right. "I'm going to get us a snack." I said lightly before diving into the water. From my experience, any wolf other than Drake was evil.

[Dissimulodeerling.]

Drake cuddled to me happily...it was weird having him so close. But I enjoyed it now, really. It didn't take me long to get used to his warmth snuggled next to me. I watched around us. Avian. He really cared about that wolf. Maybe someday I could let him see Avian again. I sighed gently and turned over onto my back to get more comfortable. To my surprise, Drake rolled on top of me. I blushed a bit and looked at him. "Drake?" I asked. He was still sound asleep; I couldn't help but think it was pretty cute the way he was and gently laid my head back against a smooth stone. He'd probably sleep for a few more hours... I'm going to be stuck until he's hungry. I sighed gently and closed my eyes before drifting off to sleep again. When I awoke it was because of a shy squeak and Drake's weight moving off of me. "I'm so sorry!" he yelped. I smiled lightly and shrugged it off. "Don't worry about it." I said. "Not the first time you've been on me." I stretched and yawned. "Let's go for a walk." I told him. I knew that we would have to practice walking on our feet for a while. He blinked and nodded. "Okay." he said starting to follow me as I walked around the shoreline with him. I wonder if he really is the Pteradon I knew in Jurassic world. I considered asking him, but I didn't want to bring up painful memories. "Where were you before you came to my island, Drake?"
Drake blinked and looked up at me surprised. He thought about it and started stuttering. "Ah-I-I...lived in the top of a tall building and my friend Avian would come and visit me...but they came..and..I- ended up here." I thought about it. "Who are they?" Drake shook his head. "I don't know." he admitted solemnly. I sighed. Drake looked at me. "I'm sorry-" he started to apologize. "don't worry about it." I replied quickly before walking a bit faster. He had difficulty keeping up and we didn't talk anymore for the rest of the day.

[Dissimulodeerling.]

The next day, Drake went for a flight, I was sure he was upset at me, so I let him. I decided while he was gone today that I would go fishing and catch me some food. Unfortunately, I didn't really have very much luck fishing. I sighed and came back to see Drake sitting on the island. "I- can't catch fish on my own." he said quietly. "My wings will get wet." I sighed a bit grumpy, but dove back down and chased some fish for him, he caught them soon enough and I got myself some before crawling back onto land, I accidentally shook water on Him, so he couldn't fly. Not until later anyway. We went to the beach and layed on the warm sand together before dozing off gently....it was a nice, peaceful rest for us. We slept until I felt a raindrop. I blinked and opened my eyes, looking at the sky, I could tell it would be a hurricane. I'd experienced one or two during the time before Drake came. "Hey." I said urgently, he groaned and covered his snout with his paw. "Wake up." I said pushing him off. He whined and looked at me. "why?" I frowned and pointed at the sky."It's going to start raining soon, and tide is coming in. We need to find Shelter." Drake blinked and sighed staggering to his feet he started following me. Unfortunately, it wasn't long before it started raining really hard. Then came lightning and thunder. Poor Drake was so terrified that he whimpered as we walked I slowed down. Before I knew it, as we were walking in the woods, I heard a solid cracking and saw a tree falling. Fortunately, I was quick to stop and draw back with Drake, the tree fell in front of us before we made our way to a cavern I often took shelter in. Cold and wet, Drake shivered in the corner of the cave. I decided that I would build a fire. I'd seen other wolves do it on the beach and learned how, so I knew how. I got some wood and leaves I kept in the cave and used two rocks to build a fire near Drake, it wasn't much, but it gave us light and heat. "It's okay."I reassured my friend quietly before walking over and laying next to him. It didn't take him long to cuddle to me. He laid his chin on my front paws and I decided to rest my chin on his head. Maybe he would get sleep and feel better in the morning. After a while the howling of the storm slowed and our fire blew out...I slowly fell asleep a long while after Drake.

[Dissimulodeerling.]

The next morning, Drake and I woke up...well, I woke up. Drake didn't want to. so I did what any wolf would do. I stood up with him on my back. Not a good plan. I have very deep claw marks in my back from him freaking out. Anyway, I decided to give Drake a swimming lesson today. And things went swimmingly. If you'll pardon the expression. I tried to catch a crawfish, but instead became a joke, I guess that was karma for throwing him the water. We laughed and swam for a while until suddenly there was a loud whirring sound above us. A Helicopter. I would have shrugged it off since no one could see me in water from above, but Drake really stuck out. "I think we should take cover under the trees." I said to drake, moving over to let him climb onto my back worriedly. He nodded and hooked a wing over my back, I could hear him swallow hard. I could feel his heart thumping. Don't worry Drake. I thought to myself while swimming. I won't let them get you again. it was true. I would sooner let them capture me than him. It was my fault he got captured in the first place. I carried him deeper into the trees where the helicopter couldn't land and set him down gently. I knew, sooner or later. That a ladder with a team of people wanting to get us would probably be let down from the helicopter soon.
I heard Drake's heavy breathing and took a deep breath myself. We had to remain calm. I heard Drake whimper and felt him shiver against my fur. My friend who had saved me from Jurassic world was counting on me. I couldn't let him go back. I heard screams and picked up pace. It was time to run. It took me a minute but then I saw something that could help us. "Hush." I shushed Drake heading towards the mudhole before flopping drake into the mud and covering him, once he was covered. I rolled in it myself. I watched as Drake shivered and closed his eyes, I would fight if they came anywhere near him. I crouched low and watched the area ahead from behind a bush growing near the mud. I saw a figure getting closer and gently set the flukes of my tail on Drake to comfort him, maybe it would help him settle his shivering. There was a loud crack of someone stepping on a stick behind us. I was about to attack when I heard someone call Drake's name. "Drake?" they called I had whirled around...the wolf appeared to not be a threat, but this didn't stop me from stalking towards him. "A-A-Avian?" I heard Drake stutter and that stopped me from moving. This was the friend he had said he missed. This was his friend he wanted to see. Drake moved closer and I watched as the bird-like wolf wrapped his arms around Drake's neck. I won't lie. I was a bit jealous that he could behave so familiarly with my friend. I growled quietly . This wolf was going to get us caught! I decided to take action and pushed them both into the mud. "Hush!" I shushed them before hiding back behind my bush and watching people coming. After all, Avian had come from the opposite direction....

Chapter 4.
Close calls and a clever nuisance

I saw that the wolf in front of us had a tranquilizer gun. I couldn't forget those nasty things. I perked my ears and rolled my eyes about 'Avian' commenting to Drake about my rudeness. It wasn't long before I tuned them out and collected some fruit. "stay here." I whispered sneaking to a bush closer to the wolf there. I threw some fruit and he shot at the tree...yep, tranquilizer. I threw more fruit to confuse him before creeping up behind him. I would show them, I would get rid of these people once and for all. I reached and took the gun. Not realizing how stupid I was in doing this. The wolf gasped and shook letting out a whistle before I knocked him out. Unfortunately, shortly after I Did knock him out. There was the sound of what sounded like a cannon and a large net blasted around me. I yelped and struggled. I was trapped. Several men came out with tranquilizers. "Don't worry boys." I heard a man say. "I remember this one, give him a little rapping and he'll succumb without the darts, save them for the Pteradon." I perked my ears.. No No I wouldn't let them capture Drake again. I moved and wiggled and jumped and growled tossing around. I made the men drop their guns with surprise. It was hard but I wouldn't let them get him. I bit into the net, but the chord was much stronger than I was used to. However, to my surprise. Drake came out of hiding, he shook off the crusty mud and flew with his massive wingspan at the men. "Drake-" I tried to call to stop him, but he didn't stop. He cawed as loudly as he could and flew trying to get the net off of me. Idiot. I was so angry and scared. "Get out of here you idiot!" I screeched at him. But he ignored me. Fortunately, despite his foolishness, and mine. Most of my thrashing had knocked many men out...and Avian took a hold of the tranquilizer gun the last man standing was trying to get at. Though the darts still hit me and Drake before we could do anything. Or me at least. It wasn't long before I lost consciousness.

[Dissimulodeerling.]

I blinked awake slowly after what felt like days, but it really felt like hours...I was disturbed by the sound of a young, seemingly angry voice. I blinked and turned to see Avian and Drake and perked my ears. "Why did you go and fly out at them like that Drake?!" Avian demanded. "You could've gotten captured, or worse, you could have gotten killed!" Drake folded his ears and timidly started fidgeting, he didn't seem to like that. "He's right!" I puffed. "You should have stayed in hiding!" Drake looked down. "I didn't want them to- I mean.." Avian turned to me and snapped harder at me. "You have no room to speak! it's your fault Drake flew out in the first place, if he hadn't been trying to save you when you were stupid coming out of hiding first, none of it would have happened!" I growled. "They would have found a way to find us. You can't just hide forever. They have ways of tracking you down." "Shut up!" Avian snapped. "If I hadn't been there, you both would have been captured!" Drake looked down..."but-" he started. Unfortunately, me and Avian weren't listening, still fighting a bit. We didn't stop until we heard the sound of Drake's wings flapping. "DRAKE!" we both called before glaring at eachother and looking away. Avian huffed and started to run after Drake, but I pulled him back by his shirt and ran ahead of him. I wasn't going to let this brat be the first to talk to Drake. And I certainly wasn't going to let him upset him more by telling him about how 'rude' I was. Avian growled and ran after me after I ran ahead. I'd just have to stay ahead. I would have to talk to Drake. After a while, we climbed and bickered and found Drake on a high perch on the island. I had never been to this part of the island. "Drake-" I started. He was...crying? I frowned and stopped walking. Avian rushed ahead. "Drake." he said gently, he walked over and put his hand on the bridge of Drake's nose..He was much smaller than Drake...I growled quietly. but stopped hearing Drake sniff. "It's my fault...they're chasing me..I should leave so they can't hurt you." Drake lowered his head and cried more. "So they can't hurt either of you. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I thought-" Avian shook his head. "It's not your fault. It's theirs. You shouldn't be focusing on us so much. We're more worried about you. " I blinked and glared at Avian but sighed. I had to agree. "Drake, He's right, it's not your fault." If Avian hadn't given me that smug look...well it looked smug to me anyway. I wouldn't have gotten mad. "Just because I admit you're right about one thing doesn't mean anything" I snapped towards him. Drake frowned. "But you fight..my closest friends." he shook his head. "I'm not going to stay here and watch that happen." He spread his wings and started to take off. Of course. I was as stupid and irrational as Drake. I jumped off of the cliff and hugged onto his legs making him yelp as we whirled off coarse towards an island nearby, fortunately, we were high enough up that the knock off balance didn't make us crash until we landed on the sandy beach next door. I don't know how though, Somehow Avian came after us even though it was a different island. He was too tired and panting to make a remark about how I shouldn't have grabbed Drake's legs. Drake was sobbing again. "I don't care what you think caused the incidents, or who you think those people were after." I hissed at Drake. "I'm not going to stick around the island if you're gone. If you go somewhere, I'm going too and there's nothing you can do to change my mind!"
"Me ...me- too.."Avian huffed tiredly before staggering over. ...I guess I would have to tolerate bird-boy. Drake blinked and looked at us both before sitting up and wrapping one wing around each of us.. He cried for a while but slowly calmed down and held on tight to his hug.

[Dissimulodeerling.]

I blinked as I realized Drake had passed out.. I looked around before crawling to lift drake up and walk towards a lighthouse. Avian had pointed out 'seagulls' near it and I puffed. "nasty birds." Avian frowned. "They're not-" he objected. "Sea-pidgeons." I returned without answering another word he said...The old lighthouse was abandoned. But it had some features our cave didn't. Avian pointed out..a..bed? what's that? I shook my head and glared at him, but set Drake on the bed. "Stop acting like you know Drake really well." I hissed after following him up the lighthouse steps where he went to watch the seagulls. "I've known him longer than you!" Avian declared. This made me very angry. I sat down and glared. He shrunk down but glared back when he looked at me. "How can you be sure about that?" I asked him. it really was more of a rhetorical question. But he answered anyway. "I knew him before those guys chased him to your island, he lived in the attic to an apartment complex with me!" I snorted. I was almost laughing at how smart this kid thought he was. "Did you know Drake before he forgot who he was?"
Avian blinked and stared at me blankly. "Did you know Drake before he forgot who he was? I did." I sat down."I didn't know his name of course. But he's got a lot more guts than he's had. I know the people who are after him, because they're also after me, If it weren't for Drake, I wouldn't have escaped from Jurassic world." Avian appeared speechless...about time. "I'll....go get some fish." Avian mumbled running downstairs, he seemed to pause briefly but continued running. I walked back down to where Drake was...Drake was sitting up awake and staring at me with disbelief. "you knew me?" he asked. His tone was difficult to make out. But it was clear he was very confused.

[Dissimulodeerling.]

He heard me? I swallowed hard. "ah-..." I hesitated before lowering my gaze."Yes." Drake blinked and stared at me...I walked over and sat on the bed beside him. Boy it was soft. "What..was I like? what was my name?" I thought for a minute. "You were very brave, playful. And acted like an idiot..I actually tasted my first crab because of you. " Drake blinked and stared at me before pulling his knees in and looking at the floor."why didn't you tell me you knew me, Lorixander?" I blinked...he didn't usually say my name. "I didn't want to bring more bad memories of where we came from. You helped me escape-" Drake blinked. "what was my name." he repeated. "I didn't know your name, I called you Pteradon- and you called me Mosasaurus, we only knew eachother by that." He looked down. "why didn't you help me escape?" he whispered. I looked at me softly..his eyes were big and sad."I was...I was scared..I thought you could escape on your own, you were so confident." I shook my head and Drake didn't answer for a minute then he looked back at the floor. "Sorry.." he mumbled. "F-for what?" I asked worried.
Drake blinked and shook a little. "I don't remember. " I softened and set a hand on his shoulder. "you don't have to remember. The future should be something to look forward to." Drake blinked softly and leaned against me.. A lot had happened in the last few days, hopefully we could both relax some.

[Dissimulodeerling.]

"You could have told me before." Drake said lightly. "That you knew me. I want to remember who I was.... I..didn't even think I was anybody before I was there." I thought for a minute. "in a way we weren't. At least I wasn't. I was born and grown in Jurassic world. " Drake nodded and went silent before looking down.
I looked at Drake lightly. "Drake- there's something I've..been wanting to say. To talk to you about." Drake looked at me softly..His face was very close and I couldn't help but blush brightly."what is it?" he asked, he started to blush a bit himself. "I'd like to ask you if you...what I mean..." I blinked and bit my lip..Drake looked at me, he glanced towards my lips...almost as if he knew what I was going to say. He leaned a bit closer. "yes?" he asked softly. I blushed more. "I..." I started, I leaned in a bit closer. And so did he.

[Dissimulodeerling.]

Suddenly.
There was a loud smacking sound as a fish suddenly flopped in between us. "Ah!" we both yelped falling back away from eachother, a whole pile of fish started flopping between us and we looked up. Who other than Avian had showed up. He gave us an innocent smile but I swear I wanted to strangle this kid as I gave him the most venomous glare I could dish up.
"I brought food for you guys!" Avian chimed. I got up and took a deep breath. "I'll go see if this beach has crabs." I muttered a bit upset. Though Avian looked a bit smug and triumphant. Little jerk, he ruined the perfect moment. And what I wanted to tell Drake. I swear if he doesn't let up, I'll..I'll Ugh. I walked out and blinked perking my ears to listen to them as I left."You should call out before throwing fish." Drake chuckled before I heard him eating. "Sorry about that.I guess it's a habit." I heard Avian's muffled voice, he didn't sound sorry at all.
