Imagine being the Indominus Rex’s trainer and it becoming protective over you.
You blinked awake with a groan. Your head throbbed as you rolled onto your stomach. You could feel something smeared across the side of your face, though you weren’t sure whether it was blood or mud. The last thing you remembered was accompanying the team that was going to subdue the Indominus Rex. They had thought that taking you along would help them get closer.
You pushed yourself up gingerly. Every movement send pain throbbing through your body. Your clothes were plastered with mud. The ground shuddered beneath you and you froze, every muscle tensing. A low snarl filled your ears as the Indominus Rex stepped out of the trees, reddish-orange eyes trained on you.
You didn’t dare move. Your heart felt like it might beat right out of your chest. You were dizzy with fear. You could see the dark bloodstains on her teeth, could feel her hot, rank breath pouring over you.
A chunk of bloody red meat splattered into the mud a few feet from you and you screamed, scrambling backwards. The Indominus Rex snarled and took another thundering step forwards, her eyes narrowing. You froze again. This time, it felt like your heart had stopped completely as she lowered her massive head towards you. You squeezed your eyes shut, preparing for the crunch of bone and spurts of blood that were sure to come. Instead, the raw hunk of meat was dropped unceremoniously in your lap.
When you forced your eyes to open, her massive jaws were hovering in front of your face. You hardly breathed. She huffed, blowing your hair back from your face with the force of her exhale. She lowered her head until it was practically resting on your legs. Slowly, you realized what she wanted. She remembered her training. Cautiously, you reached out. Her eye followed your every movement as you rested your hand against her rough cheek.
Your voice shook when you spoke. “Good girl.”
