Author's Notes

Hiii sorry for inactivity on here ;o; I don't always have much inspiration to write.

Honestly, I'm really bad at naming fanfictions, but I guess this can somewhat fit with it? :'D
Zoic - [suffix] Refers to some form of animal existence.
Might have to change the title as I continue though.. o-o for now, it'll be 'Zoic' in reference to the existence of 'animals,' in this case dinosaurs.

So, I'm going to try my hand at writing this Miraculous Ladybug X Jurassic World AU... I don't really have much of it planned out so I'm hoping as I go on the story will develop more in my head… I'm aiming for it to not be the same exact plot as Jurassic World… it will still take elements and stuff from it though. Sorry if there's any misspelling or improper grammar, I've read over it a couple times but I might have missed something x-x

He heard the footsteps behind him rapidly approaching. He was running as fast as he could, but the thumping noise from behind was getting louder. The thump of the footsteps felt as if they were in sync with the beat of his fearful heart. He continued running.

The meadow went on for ages, but when he reached the shaded forest some pressure release from within him. Now that he was surrounded by nature's pillars, he could climb up high and avoid the creature. Picking a tree that had no lack of leaves, he shimmied his way up to a buffed-up branch – one that was also a good distance from the ground – and stared nervously in the direction he had previously been retreating from.

The creature took no time to quickly enter into his sight. Upon losing him, the creature skidded to a stop, and instantly began to look around attentively. It rose up higher to get a better view, reaching up to about 6 feet in height, and looked in all directions. He studied its movements; it moved gracefully and smoothly… he'd even say bird-like. The creature finished looking around and lowered again. It huffed, lowered itself further, leaned slightly forward, and sniffed the air, which had been tainted with the scent of a human. The creature growled, seeming to have caught the boy's scent.

The boy, realizing this, panicked but remained dead quiet. He held his breath. The creature didn't move for a few seconds, aside from the menacing gaze of its eyes darting around. After what felt like an eternity, the creature relaxed, returning to its normal posture – it's head up, it's neck curved in the shape of an 'S', and it's body horizontal and loose.

Without warning though, the creature's head snapped up, its eyes locked dead onto the boy. Slowly, it began to walk towards the tree. "N-no…!" the boy whimpered, scooting back on the thick branch. "Go away!" The creature did not stop though. It continued until it was right under the boy, staring into his eyes.

The boy wanted to tear his eyes from the gaze, but for some reason he couldn't. His green eyes were stick staring into its sky blue eyes. Its eyes were calm, but full of strength. The boy wasn't sure if he should feel relaxed or scared looking into its eyes. He didn't move.

Quietly, the creature tilted it's snake-like head, leapt up, and clamped its jaws around the boy's throat, his screams filling the forest.

"WAAH!" Adrien shot awake with a cry, bolting upwards in his bed. He panted, looking around in all directions, making sure he was okay, and slowly realizing that he had only had a dream. He relaxed and sighed, his breathing returning to a normal pace. He was sweating slightly, and his heart was racing. He brushed a hand through his golden hair. "Not again…" he mumbled. His eyes shot around at his surroundings again – it was nighttime, so the hotel room was dark. The only light was coming in through a crack between the curtains, where the moonlight was shining in. Shadows loomed around him, shadows of furniture and various objects. He calmed again.

Adrien had been having similar dreams all week – all involved him being chased by a bird of prey, and ending with him being mauled by it. It wasn't entirely his fault he had this dream… he wasn't the one who caused the incident. He knew his father told him strictly to stay away from the enclosures of the animals – which was ridiculous since he was practically at a zoo. The only difference was many of the animals were much… larger, and more dangerous than modern animals. So, like the teen he is, he decided to bend the rules… just a bit.

His father had never said he couldn't see the animals, and never said how far he had to be. Instead of staying a thousand miles away from the beasts, he decided to use these loopholes to his advantage. Early one morning a few days before his recent nightmare, he snuck out and went to one of the pens. He met with one of the trainers there, who asked Adrien why he was there and if his father approved of this. Adrien made up some excuse that his father actually decided he wanted his son observe the behavior of different animals in the park. Apparently it was believable, so the trainer took Adrien up to a catwalk located above one of the pens. The pen was enclosed by a huge cement wall, with an opening leading to the main exhibit.

"Just wait." The keeper had said, and tossed a dead rat into the pen. "They'll come if they smell food." Adrien watched for a few minutes, and heard rustling.

Looking up, Adrien noticed that from the main exhibit the foliage was moving. Something was approaching. Erupting into the pen from the dense foliage was one of those… creatures from Adrien's dream. Behind it, two others followed cautiously.

These were known as "Velociraptors." Fast-runners, intelligent, a deadly claw… That's what everyone knew them by. Each stood approximately 6 feet tall, and moved very much like a bird. Strange, for an animal of that size. Or at least it seemed like that to Adrien. He knew there were large birds out there like Ostriches and Emus, but these undead 'birds' made it seem more surreal.

The first raptor that had come out, which seemed to be the lead one, slowly crept towards the rat. This raptor was a fresh shade of green, with dark green rings wrapping around its neck, tail, legs, and arms. It's back had a single dark stripe running down its spine, that started from the tip of its nose and ran to the end of its tail. Its lemon yellow eyes locked on the rat.

Behind this grassy raptor, the other two followed a few steps behind. The Raptor on the right was dirt-colored. It had a rich brown body, its face was tan, almost cream colored, and it was speckled with black spots all over its body. The final raptor, the one on the left, was dark blue with light blue stripes running horizontally down its body. It's underbelly was white, and it's upper neck and head were the same shade of light blue, and the stripes were dark blue rather than the same light blue in that area. Its tail was completely white.

The lead raptor snapped up the rat in its jaws, swallowing it whole. The speckled raptor cried out in anger, while the blue raptor just calmly observed. Adrien watched them, and was curious as to why two raptors were arguing over a rat while one didn't pay any mind of it.

As the two raptors hissed and growled at each other, an employee misstepped, slipping over the railing and into the pen. Adrien's eyes widened as he saw this, and the keeper instantly left his side to go and try to save the man before it was too late.

As soon as the man hit the ground, the green and brown raptors instantly looked up, straight towards the man. The green one snapped at the brown raptor, and charged towards the man, followed by the speckled raptor, who had slightly lowered itself in a respectful pose towards the leader.

Adrien heard the panic and crying of the man, and the keeper rushed in. However, Adrien felt something watching him. He dragged his eyes away from the man, and to the third raptor, the blue one, who had not made a move toward the man. Rather, its sky blue eyes were locked on Adrien.

It was this raptor that had been haunting his dreams. The way it looked at him was so… strange. Even if it had been the least vicious one, it's gaze was burned into Adrien's mind. Adrien quickly left the scene, and luckily he heard that the worker got out safely. Over the next few days though, he was completely paranoid about it.

Adrien sighed, laying back down and cozying up in his blankets. He thought about why he was even here, at this park, on this island. His father had invested some money in the park and was good friends with the owner. His dad hoped to make some clothing designs based off of the dinosaurs. Somehow, the controlling and over-protective father thought it was safe enough to let Adrien stay there, and work there for the summer. Adrien was completely stoked to hear his father was going to let him go to the world famous park, but that quickly went away when his dad firmly informed Adrien that he was not to go near any of the dinosaurs, or other prehistoric creatures, and that he must take up a job in one of the stores located down the main street of the park.

Upon arrival to the park, Adrien was given a job as a simple cashier in one of the gift shops. Not too difficult a job, but definitely something the young model wasn't used to.

So far, Adrien had been living on the island for about three weeks, and the only dinosaurs he's really seen up-close were the raptors now. He wasn't even supposed to go into the petting zoo, which had to be the least threatening place on the island. "Those ones with the three horns… They'll charge you." His dad had said. Adrien was no dino expert, but he was pretty sure it was safe since they let young children in there.

Speaking of not being very educated about dinosaurs, for the life of him Adrien could not remember the names of nearly any of the dinosaurs. He remembered a few, the ones most everyone knew… the infamous T-Rex, Velociraptor, Triceratops, Stegosaurus, those ones with the long necks, Pterodactyls… which he quickly learned from a fellow worker that Pterodactyls weren't even dinosaurs, and that what he thought were "Pterodactyls" where actually Pteranodons. That was all he really knew about the creatures on the island.

Adrien let his thoughts go, sighed and yawned, and once again closed his eyes. It was time for him to get back to sleep…

As he dozed off the first words he had heard upon arriving to the island echoed in his head…

"Welcome to Jurassic World."
