Right, I don't do full length fanfictions very often, but this is one that I have a complete storyline for it. I know exactly what I want to happen. Which never happens with me.

This will be following the same basics of Jurassic Park the first movie. (Which is probably why I managed to finish a storyline of what I want to happen for this). This chapter is pre movie one.

My disclaimer for this fic: I don't own anything except Ev. She's been a brainchild of mine for a while now, so please be gentle if you must give constructive criticism on her. I've made damn sure she has flaws, so no she's not a Mary Sue. *Spoiler alert - I do plan on killing her eventually maybe in a sequel.

It started when they realised one of the Velociraptor hatchlings was malformed, not that they paid much more attention to that. No more than a cursory inquisitive glance. She was one of four hatchlings about five months old* when the scientists of Isla Sorna finally decided she needed to be caught to figure out what had gone so wrong with this one that the other Velociraptors appeared to have pushed her out of their territory.

They were shocked at what they found at the site where their motion satellite had picked up the raptors driving out the one they had dubbed Oddball. At first, they thought they were looking at the remains of a human girl, about ten years old, that had somehow found herself washed onto the island, then they realised she was alive and injured. Picking her up they realised the issues were all related.

"What do we do with it?"

"We could be charged for unauthorized human experimentation. I mean look at it! How could we have not known that it was humanoid when we knew there was something wrong with it?"

"We should just kill it. No one needs to know." They all stood in a tense circle around the old scientist that had picked it up, and they stared at the thing they had grown to love from a distance as their own little Oddball.

"No," the old respected scientist efficiently put a lid on the panic, "we won't. We'll take this-I mean Oddball, and we fix it-" he paused, "her up. John Hammond will want to know about her."

/\/\/\

"Well, is it a computer or other sort of glitch?" John Hammond had little patience for the cryptic 'you have just got to see this' without an explanation. He was trying to work with his chief engineer on the plans for the mighty doors into the park.

"Seriously sir, you will want to see. I can guarantee it"

John knew his scientists would know better than to say that without reason, and he figured he could speak with Mr. Arnold and bring him along. Site B was overdue for an engineering check anyways.

/\/\/\

John was ecstatic. What a wonderful creation that had occurred. He didn't know how it was possible for this to be alive, but then he wasn't a scientist anyways. Ideas bloomed in his thoughts and there was no stopping them. "How was she overlooked before?" he asked after his childish wonder faded enough to wander around and around the table they had her sedated on.

"She's the one we were referring to as Oddball. Remember how she was strangely coloured with smoother skin and chubby compared to the others we had created even though we swore that she was from the same batch of embryos? Somehow, it seems she ended up to be a hybrid."

"That's certainly unorthodox. But I think we can run with this; she is going to be a star in this park and the world that's coming."

"Just a minute John. You really think that's a good idea? There is some serious lines being crossed here," Mr. Arnold butted into the scientists and John's circle around her, and was looking horrified at the human-like monster that had been created.

"What is it you mean by that?" John demanded.

"I think he's referring to the ethical problems this raises. I don't know if this could get us reported, but a half human creature could get us a lot of bad rep."

"Yes." Mr. Arnold nodded to the scientist, "John, that is exactly it. We should euthanize her now before it becomes an issue."

"You can't be serious. Look at what we've created!" John gestured wildly. They all looked at the twitching girl. She stirred then, and her yellow slit pupils focused darting around at those surrounding her. She pulled herself up in a panic, and the scientists were quick to hold her still. She stopped moving and became very tense, then threw her head back and let out a **choppy collection of throaty chirrups. The scientists looked at each other nervously as they administered a lighter sedative hoping to just keep her calm.

"See now, Mr. Hammond. She will be dangerous. I think euthanizing is our best option."

"No," John whispered, "I will not believe that. Watch, I'll bet I can get a human reaction out of her. Everything will be just fine." He kneeled down and peered into her eyes which struggled to focus on him, and whistled a single note. She slowly cocked her head, and he whistled again. She watched him with an eerie amount of focus for a small girl. The scientists and Mr. Arnold raised eyebrows at each other in questioning, but no one moved to stop Mr. Hammond. Eventually the scientists realised she was attempting to whistle back, and then she made a faint growl of frustration. "Here darling," John kept his voice low, and reached toward her face slowly, "you need to press your lips," he touched his fingers to the corners of her mouth, "like this".

She let a small whistle out and then, just as astonishing to the scientists, a smile and a chortling strange laugh.

"There now," John whispered to her and then also looking up at the group as he pulled his hand away, "she doesn't look like she'll be too dangerous". Sighs were stifled all round; they knew how Mr. Hammond could be. "We'll bring her back with us. She can live on Isla Nublar where more people can be there for her."

"What about that game warden? I can't imagine he'll be happy about this. He doesn't like the raptors," Mr. Arnold said.

"Oh, Robert's been working with me for a long time. He'll be fine."

Mr. Arnold began flicking on his white lighter and blowing it out.

Robert Muldoon had been lead away from the inner rooms of the main building far too many times not to be suspicious. He was allowed to be in the building, not the backroom hatchery area for some reason, but everywhere should be open even if they didn't want him wandering into the hatchery. He knew John was around here somewhere at the moment, and he was going to get a straight answer this time.

Robert waited outside the hatchery knowing that John would be checking in soon. He folded his arms so his hands cupped his elbows and tapped his fingers in boredom leaning against the blank walled corridor. John walked down the hall after some time, and it was clear he knew that Robert was going to have his answers this time by the way he shrugged then gestured with his cane as he spoke, "you're waiting for me this time I see. In then, we ought to speak with the scientists first."

He sat and listened a hand resting on his knee as he looked at them incredulously. "You mean to tell me you've gone and created something half human," he said disapprovingly.

"Now, now, she's really quite average when you get past her looks. In addition to some minor instances that weren't really a problem, but that was when she was younger, but really you should meet her." John sent the scientists off after a quick check in on the, only days from hatching, eggs. "Well then, let's go to her. You know, many of these scientists were most fond of her before they even knew she was something quite so as strange as a human hybrid. They were calling her Oddball. Well, that is of course till we found what she really was, then she needed a proper name. I named her Eve, but she introduces herself as Ev. I suppose everyone claiming to have created a human with science names their 'clones' and whatnot along those lines, so I don't mind her preference. She's really qui-"

"Fascinating John, but I'd rather make my own judgments of her," Robert said sharply so as to cut off John's avid rambling.

"Right, well, here we are," John stated as they stopped at a locked door, and John entered the pin number. Robert watched this with a wary interest. "Oh, this is just because she's young and we can't always be keeping an eye on her," John said catching him looking. John opened the door.

Ev was standing in the far corner looking through the books and magazines on the shelves. It was a bizarrely normal thing to do for a teenage girl, but this girl did not look normal. She was anything but. She had a thick tail coming out from above jutting hips. Her plain white clothes fit strangely because of this, and her feet seemed 100% Velociraptor under the long loose pants she wore low on her hips. In her profile, her nose and chin extend forward a bit extra then what was known as regular, and her short light brown hair seemed to be somewhat hiding the rest of the bizarre shape of her head. Her skin tone didn't seem quite right either. It looked like a suntanned person covered in stone dust. Her skin also had a pattern of reptilian skin in patches on her hands, elbows, and at least one cheek. Seeing how these markings appeared to be mostly symmetrical it was likely both.

"Hello Ev darling, this is Robert Muldoon," John introduced. She turned her head slowly and lay a quiet predatory gaze on Robert. She held his blue eyes gaze without blinking her own large light yellow eyes. "I have some business to attend to, so you two chat for a bit, all right?" John walked back out, and they still stared; bodies completely still for a full two minutes.

It was not an awkward silence, but more them mutually cataloging all possible conclusions they could make on each other. They were both predators born, after all. Their eyes dart about each other curiously, and take in all the details on how easily they could seriously harm the other. Also trying to figure out what the other was. In Robert's place, that was recording all that he could see, and knowing how dangerous she could be if she wanted too. In Ev's place, that was figuring out what he wanted from her. Which she was finding much more difficult.

But then she relaxes. He stays tense expecting a test of what they were searching for in each other just moments before. She doesn't do anything though, pivots away from him, and walks to the middle of the wall perpendicular to the bookcase where there is a nest of blankets that she settles on. Her ankles tucked under her, hiding her feet in the duvets.

"You don't seem like the others," she said when she turned her eyes back to his.

"I could say the same to you," he finally relaxes as she starts speaking. Something that makes her suddenly seem less creature to him; conversation. She shrugs and smiles at his answer revealing narrow sharp teeth. The smile faded back to a neutral bored sort of face that seemed a little too blank for the smile that had cracked through moments before. "Do you leave this room ever?"

"Sometimes I'm allowed, and I've snuck out a couple times before. They've gotten too used to my attempts now though."

"Shame, but I suppose there's this stuff," he walked in to look at the CD rack, drawers with CD and cassette player walkmans on top under the large mirror, and the bookshelf.

"Yes, I suppose blasting the CDs and cassette on the boom box I used to have was fun. Drove the scientists mad though, so I have the personal players only now. I still find ways to mess with them. It's all good," she smirked.

Robert snorted, "You're really just a typical teenager in the end then."

"Sure, except in looks," she said laying a long thin hand on her tail scraping her long black claw-like nails along the ridge of her coccygeal vertebrae, "and my mother tongue is something I don't think humans can replicate".

"Unique."

"You think so?"

"Obviously."

"Well, most of these lot describe it differently."

"How's that?"

"Either scientifically, or unthinkingly blunt," she rolled her eyes which flashed slightly with eye shine as they caught the dim light the right way.

He snorted. "In Kenya I would come across all sorts"

"Ah, so used to weird then?" She questioned.

"If I couldn't handle strange; I wouldn't have taken this job."

"What job's that?"

"Game warden. Officially, I catch escapees."

"Huh, is this an official warning then?"

This startled a laugh out of him, "No, just here to meet you, and I should think you wouldn't need tranquilizer or bullets to prevent you from running amuck."

"I suppose," she heaved a large fake sigh as if disappointed. Her eyes crinkled at the corners in mirth.

The door opened behind Robert then a scientist entered with what was clearly Ev's dinner. She stood and took the lunch tray pouting at the choices. "Grapes again?"

"Sorry Ev, there isn't a lot to choose from right now," the scientist said already heading back out.

"I'll be off then," Robert said figured this was a good point to leave with the scientist.

"Wait," Ev called, "You'll come back right?"

/\/\/\

Robert did come back many times against his better judgment. He was surprised the scientists seemed to be very okay with giving him pin codes to see her. That is until he learned that they were watching through the mirror and observing her reactions to him, the outside stimulus.

"You really thought they don't know what I'm doing at all times?" She laughed. "You might want to redo that last statement. I'll bet some scientists will be pissy with you if you leave it at that."

"I'll take my chances. How'd you figure out they were watching?"

"I'd try and cover the mirror when I was little. They'd be here almost instantly to uncover it every time, and once that got me suspicious I'd listen at the wall and attempt to get their scents through it."

"Huh."

"Just 'huh'? I was very young, and I barely knew English yet. Damn, I thought I'd finally manage to impress you with that."

"Sure, a bit." She pouted at that until his next words drove the want to impress from her mind. "Let's go outside." Shock passed across her face quickly before she jumped up eagerly onto her clawed toes.

"Yes please!" She jumped through the door the moment he opened it, and they found themselves facing three scientists evidently knowing what they were up to and ready to stop them.

"Call John, I'm sure he won't mind. She won't be getting away from me either, so there's really no trouble to be had," Robert reasoned. The scientists garbled amongst themselves for a minute before agreeing on the condition that they called John, and Robert would be held responsible.

Ev was already edging off when Robert finally broke away, and gestured for her to head out. She was practically skipping and Robert had to rush to keep up. When he got outside she was standing in the grass at least ten feet away breathing slow and deep.

He caught his breathe in a moment and yelled out to her, "Do you know how fast you can really run?"

She stayed still for a minute longer breathing with her head tilted back before answering when he walked to her side. "No, I think the lab rats are too worried to test that. Like running would get me off of an island, and besides where could I possibly go to?"

"Do you want to test it?"

"Sounds fun," she breathed deeply a few more times, "How are we doing this?"

"I'll drive down the main path, and you run beside as fast as you can. The speedometer should give us an inkling of what you can do."

She nodded, "promise you won't give them the results".

"Course"

"Good. It'll drive them mad."

He rolled his eyes. She had this desire to mess with the scientists that showed just how young she really was despite looking fully mature.

"Alright then," she agreed setting off toward the front walking past the Velociraptor enclosure. She stayed beside Robert for that stretch eyeing the fence.

"What scared of them? You are half of what they are," he watched her reaction curiously.

"Exactly. I don't trust them," she whispered staring into a specific spot in the pen where she'd spotted some movement.

"I don't either."

They reached the front, and Robert was behind the wheel of the jeep. They took off at the same time, and for a few seconds Ev was ahead of the car. Once they evened out the test began.

"How fast are we going?" Ev yelled.

"If you can speak, you can go faster," was his answer. He smirked at her which she returned, then hunkered down and went for it. Eventually when it didn't look like she was getting any faster she leapt ahead of the jeep in a quick jump onto a log off the side of the road and stopped on it watching Robert pass. He brought the jeep to a stop. "Had enough?"

"Yeah," she was breathing deep again, but this time a little less slowly, "how fast?"

"Faster than any human could, but not as fast as I believe those raptors can go," he said mildly.

"And?" She demanded.

"About 35 miles per hour."

"Whew, impressed yet?" She bragged as if she couldn't believe he could possibly be anything but.

"A little, but then that speed is from your DNA."

She threw him a sulky look before sticking out a purplish pointy tongue, and running back toward the building off the side of the road looking, for the moment, every bit the wild graceful predator she was created to be.

/\/\/\/\/\/\

* She's not that old human-wise. She's more Velociraptor than human especially in those early years, so she grows quicker. So in actual years for most of this fic she'll only be a handful of years old, but fully mature.

** Calling for help. I watched the clip from Jurassic Park Three a couple times to figure out how to write that sound down.

Coccygeal = tail vertebrae. Also to be noted: I capitalize and italicize Velociraptor because it is the genus name for that type of dinosaur, and is meant to be that written that way. I checked all sorts of mph, and other details as well. (Yeah, I've done so much research for this fic, totally obsessed...)

After/within this chapter there is deleted scenes that didn't fit in well in this multi chapter fic, so eventually the deleted scenes may end up in a companion fic.

Please review, I've worked really hard on this fic.

Thank you,
