Disclaimer: That's such a no-brainer. If I wrote/created Jurassic Park OR Kingdom Hearts, would I be here, writing this, now? Would it be called a "fan fiction"? Um. I don't seriously have to answer that, do I? You're smart enough to figure it out on your own, aren't you? Aren't you!
…
I note that this is a mixture of the book, the movie, and something completely different of my own devising, so please don't kill me over little things I put in here that didn't happen in one of them. Chances are, if it's in here, it happened in one of the two, but if it didn't and you're mad I sincerely apologize for ruining your day.
I also want to note that this fan fiction was written by me(duh), but I was helped by my friend Cessie with a lot of the ideas. Thank you, and let's finally get on to the story, hehe...
PROLOGUE
The rain poured down mercilessly from the black sky above, barely penetrating the thick cover of the trees. There was a movement in the undergrowth, just barely visible to the human eye. But no one saw the long snout open, sniffing the air, the sharp, long teeth gleaming in the pale light of the lamps that lined the electrified fence some distance away. No one saw the shining claws glow and reflect the light as the animal moved in the darkness, watching, breathing softly, the eyes flicking back and forth, the figure moving soundlessly forward.
It was three feet tall, standing there, the long tail swishing back and forth, the pale brown skin camouflaging perfectly with the plant life around it. The animal hissed softly at the screech of another animal, somewhere farther back, and surged forward, its clawed feet making no noise whatsoever in the wet and musty undergrowth.
"Are you sure we can open the park now?" Jessica Reeves, standing on the other side of the electrified fence with her hood pulled tightly over her head as she peered into the darkness, asked, pulling the hood of her thick black sweatshirt more tightly over her head. Jess was a tall, thin twenty-three year-old who worked as a secretary of sorts for the owner and founder of InGen, John Hammond. The eccentric old man had created a theme park much more impressive - and dangerous - than any other theme park on Earth. It was her job not only to help run it, but also to advise Hammond and help making decisions. Since the Costa Rican government had been getting a little suspicious lately of what they were doing on the island they were renting out, Isla Nublar, Hammond tried to rush the opening of the park, leaving many things undone.
And Jess was worried.
"Jess, everything is fine." The man standing beside her frowned, looking into the ferns on the other side of the electrified fence, as if searching for the being he knew was there, but that he knew he would never find, an invisible ghost in the moist, misty air. What could possibly go wrong? Everything was under control.
"How do you know?" Jess asked doubtfully. "It went haywire once before. We can't let it happen again."
"We won't. Trevor King told her determinedly. But deep down, he wasn't so sure.
"Trevor, he's watching us."
King turned to look through the fence again as Jess stepped back in horror. Indeed, the animal watched them carefully, as if it was analyzing their very thoughts; it had appeared out of nowhere, and so good was the camouflage that King had a very hard time seeing it; but it was there, watching.
He shook his head. "No, it's a girl. They're all girls." He had to remember that, as a secretary, Jess rarely came down to the island, and knew almost nothing about the creatures they raised.
"All girls." Jess breathed, shaking her head in amazement. "How do you know?"
"We programmed them like that at birth. I'll explain later."
Jess shook her head again. "I can't believe he actually did it.:
"They're awful. Blood thirsty things that want to kill you the first chance they get. I hate them all." King almost spat.
"Some are nice, though."
"Yes, some are, but I still think...oh, nevermind. At least they'll make us money. Lots of money. That is, if things don't get out of hand. And," he added quickly, seeing the anxious look on Jess's face, "they won't."
Jess nodded, then gave an involuntary shriek of terror as the animal leapt, twisting its body with surprising speed and and accuracy in the air, all its weight landing with stunning force against the electrified fence, the only thing separating them from the feisty animal, which yelped in pain as it tumbled to the ground, shocked by the electricity.
More animals appeared behind it, snarling and hissing at the humans on the other side of the fence, and coming to defend their leader.
"C-can we...g-g-go now?" stuttered Jess, petrified.
"We're perfectly safe," King assured her.
"Well, I don't feel safe," Jess declared. "And besides, it's cold out here. We can talk just as well inside."
"Well...alright." King started reluctantly back, Jessica not far behind.
She put a hand on his shoulder. "I don't think it's a good idea to open the park just yet," she sighed worriedly.
"Don't worry," he replied. "It'll all be fine. Just fine."

Yes, that was the end of the prologue. More to come as soon as I stop being lazy, which we all hope will be soon. I hope you liked it, and pretty please review Tell me (nicely) what you think, and if you ask any questions feel free to ask. Thanks, and see you next time!
