“And like the sea… I am constantly changing from calm to hell”
xxxxxxxxxxx | Female | I-Rex handler | mood: Infatuated
- xxxSome felt kind of bad feeling Wraith actual live animals. I felt as though it were an imperative. I was actually the one who demanded it be done. Yet did it with the other large carnivores and were even beginning to do it with the raptors. It was nice to have the raptor handler on my side as well when I brought this up. He defended me eventually allowing my point to get through to mister Masrani. He at first wanted me to treat her the same as her sister feeding wise but I insisted that she be given some live game. We had to make a compromise about this. Having only part of her feeding schedule be live kill. The raptor handler, I forget his name, was overly supportive of my ideas. He seemed to want the beat for the younger dinosaur. He even offered to help with the paddock, but I declined. I want to do this myself, I don't want a crutch.
xxxNot as though he would be a crutch. He's managed to work with the four sisters for their entire lives and they have never escaped despite many attempts. However, I don't want assistance taking care of Wraith. The one time the handler was in here with me she seemed very on edge. I remember the glint in her golden eyes suspicious of the new person in her presence and a new person that was with me. He was charming and insightful but I don't figure I will take his offer up for dinner anytime soon. I'm not one for relationships, besides he tried to go out with the caretaker of the park and that was a train wreck as I have heard from the gossip that's been floating around the park. If he couldn't make that relationship work then he would have a snowballs chance in hell making any sort of spark work between the two of us. I had better things to do with my time anyways, wraith needed me much more than whatshisname does.
xxxI decided to not watch her eat, the alpha of any pack does not do so as usually they have eaten before the others. I opened my book brushing my fingers against the pages carefully. I took my bookmark out of the place where i had it last marking the chapter I had paused my reading last. I scanned my eyes over the page finding the place that I had left off. But for some reason the blue eyes of the raptor handler kept on returning to my mind. The way he had spoken to me as though I were a piece of amber that held the DNA that made this entire park happen. I still regret that I cannot remember his name, now that I think about it he was the one that gave me this book. I placed my finger between the pages where I had my bookmark flipping to the front of the book, I looked at the end papers scanning the inscription carefully. The writing was very neat, it was not what I had expected from him. It went like this:
Good luck being assigned as Wraith's guardian. I'm sure she will be a handful. If you ever need anything you know where to find me.
Sincerely
Owen
xxxOwen, that's what his name was. He was lovely to say the least. But he could have always been trying to show some kind of kindness. I am sure he could tell I was not the most popular person on this island. He's been here for a few years but he's become apart of the parks family very quickly. Not that he speaks to others often, people just talk about him. Rumours about his past float upon the lips of everyone in the park. He doesn't seam to care much. Either that or he would have stopped them if he did care. It was another thing I liked about him, he didn't care what others thought of him. all that really seemed to matter were the four raptors he was protector over. I tore my eyes from the book closing it keeping my finger in the place I last left off at. I looked out into the paddock as though it might give me an answer.
