Katie Louise Grant

Hi everyone I said I was going to reboot this because of various reasons if you want to know why look on my profile page, basically because someone took my three stories and posted them as their own and changed the character's picture and because I wasn't happy on the way I ended it. So am back with a new character and a new series. I really want some reviews on this story, I didn't get many on my last series and in a way I understood why because it wasn't really good.

Hopefully you guys will read and review.

I will only say this once; I do not OWN Jurassic Park in any way. I do own my OC character and if I find out that anyone has took this story I will report them.

My OC character is portrayed by Camilla Belle look her up on Google images she is really pretty.

In the mean time enjoy the first chapter.

Xoxo

Chapter 1 – Katie Louise Grant

My name is Katie Louise Grant; I have just turned 16 years old a few days ago. I have very dark brown hair and brown eyes with hint of green in them. I always had a love for dinosaurs and history, when I was a little girl; I wanted to grow up as a Palaeontologist. I've always wanted a family, a mother and a father and maybe a little brother or sister. I was born without a father; my mom always told me he left before he knew she was expecting me. I accepted it and moved on with my life but in the back of my mind, I always wondered what it would be like to meet my father. I was slightly mad that he never got into contact with my mother after I was born he would of got the chance to meet his newborn daughter.

Well three months ago I got my wish.

His name was Alan Grant he was tall, had blue eyes and brown hair, he is a dinosaur digger and he has a girlfriend Ellie Sattler. I wasn't mad at her, it more to my father because he and mom were high school sweethearts then for three years after high school they dated. He left because she wanted to get married and start a family, where he wanted to be a Palaeontologist. He and my mom split up and soon after she found out she was pregnant with me. I was mad at her for not calling him, but she said he wouldn't want to know. And she was right.

He didn't want to know me at all. He was one of those people who didn't like kids at all he thought they were nuisances. When my mom died three months ago in a car crash, I was absolutely devastated, I couldn't talk for services eventually found out where my father lived and contacted him. My other family members where in Europe and my grandmother was to ill, so my only option was him. I was slightly nervous yet excited to meet him and his girlfriend. I expected Ellie to be a horrible woman and Alan thrilled to meet his daughter, but it was the other way around.

He didn't want to know me, when he found out he was furious and he completely rejected me. I was hurt and I didn't want to stay there but I had no choice. Ellie was really warm and pleasant at least that was one good thing. So a month later, I moved to Montana from then on I slept in the spare bedroom of Dad and Ellie's house. Ellie tried to make it cosy and comfortable for me and it was really nice of her, for the last few months she had been helping me get close to my father which was failing miserably.

…

I sighed heavily as I tucked a strand of hair behind my ears and fixed my headband on my head, the dust of the sand was getting in my eyes again as I carefully brushed the sand away from the bones I was helping dig up. Four other people were helping with this one, my dad, Ellie and two other diggers who I didn't know the names too. Ellie was on my right, with Dad on her left away from me unsurprisingly.

Ellie brushed against my shoulder causing me to look over to her, "You ok there hun?"

With a smile I nodded, "Sure, it's just getting hot."

Ellie smiled, "Go take a break and get a drink if you want." I looked at her and then dad who kept on working.

"You sure?"

She nodded, "Do you two want anything?" I asked.

She turned to look at Alan. "Babe you want anything to drink?" he shook his head in 'no'

"Just a bottle of water for me please." I nodded and left.

I just didn't know why he was more interested in dinosaur bones than his own kid. I was getting slightly frustrated with him, it had been three months since I came to live with him and all I got was a few words a day with him, but these last few weeks he had been saying more to me but hey it progress right?

….

After I grabbed two water bottles for me and Ellie, I sat back down to do my work when more people came over to help, there was around 6 of us digging the bones up and we could see the whole of the skeleton now, the face of the dinosaur, the arms, the legs, tail and body.

"Dr. Grant, Dr Sattler, we're ready to try again." One of the diggers walk up to us.

Dad and Ellie stand up. "Hate computers." Dad mumbles as Ellie puts his red necktie around him.

We walk down towards the others and the tent, Ellie had her arm wrapped around Dad's waist, his arm in return around hers. I could see they loved each other and it made me wonder if my mom and he were ever like that, it made me wonder a lot about what they did when they were young, mom refused to tell me because it was painful for her and Dad won't even talk to me for a full five minutes.

As we near by the tent, I see a kid with a round belly and a cap on he must have been one of the diggers kid. He kicks dirt into one of the holes was we have digged up. Dad notices this and a frown comes on his face.

"What's that kid doing?" he takes his arm of Ellie's waist. He walks over to the kid, "What are you doing there!? Excuse me! This is very fragile! Get off that and go find your parents!"

The kid jumps in fright, he looks at us as if we were going to defend him the runs off. I snorted, "Did you see what he just did?" Dad turn to us.

"Why do they have to bring their kids?!" He said to himself, walking into the tent. Me and Ellie looked at each other and giggled then followed him in.

The other diggers gather around the computer that hadn't been working only half an hour before. "So how long does this usually take?" Ellie asked leaning against the computer operators chair.

"It should be immediate return. You shoot the radar into the ground, the bone bounces back This new program's incredible! A few more years of development and you don't have to dig any more."

Dad straightens up at this, "where's the fun in that?" Ellie shushes him. That would be a shame for him; he'd have to find something else to do.

"It looks a little distorted, but I don't think that's the computer." The operator said.

Ellie shakes her head, "Postmortem contraction of the posterior neck ligaments. Velociraptor?"

I looked closer, "Yeah looks like see the shape of it?" I pointed to the screen. I did learn a thing or two of them. Dad gets a look in his eye and his mouth turns to a half of a smile before looking at it.

"Yeah, Five, six feet high. I'm guessing nine feet long. Look at the.." He points to part of the skeleton, but when his finger touches the screen the computer beeps at him and the image changes. He pulls his hand back, as if it shocked him.

"What happened?" the computer guy asked.

"He touched it. Dr. Grant is not machine compatible." Ellie laughed. We all laughed, "They got it in for me." Dad mumbles.

Dad reaches out again but barely touches it, "Look at the half-moon shaped bone in the wrist. No wonder these guys learned to fly." We all laughed, Dad looks back surprised.

"Now, seriously. Great, well maybe dinosaurs have more in common with present-day birds than reptiles. Look at the public bone it's turned backwards, just like a bird. The vertebrae full of hollows and air sacs, just like a bird. Even the word raptor means "bird of prey"." He finishes with a proud smirk, the kid before steps forward and looks at the computer skeleton critically. I widened my eyes knowing he's going to say something stupid.

"That doesn't look very scary. More like a six-foot turkey."

Everyone sort of draws in their breath and steps aside, for Dad who turns to the Kid, and lowers his sunglasses, and stares at him like he just came from another planet.

"A turkey." Dad whispered, and then walking forward with Ellie and me following.

"Try to imagine yourself in the Jurassic Period."

Ellie rolls her eyes and looks at me. "Here we go." I nod in agreement. He does this all the time, whenever someone insults a dinosaur or his work he goes on a big rant about what they would do if you encountered one. Which greatly annoyed me because they were only children and didn't know any better. He tried to do one on me but I told him that stuff like that wouldn't scare me or teenagers, which he then stopped.

"You'd get your first look at the six-foot turkey as you move into a clearing. But raptor, he knew you were there a long time ago. He moves like a bird; lightly, bobbing his head, And you keep still, because you think maybe his visual acuity's based on movement, like a T-rex, and he'll lose you if you don't move. But no not a velocoriapter. You stare at him and he just stares back. That's when the attack comes not from the front, no from the side, from the other two raptors you didn't even know were there." Dad walks around the kid who is nervously looking back at him.

"Velociraptor's a pack hunter, you see, he uses coordinated attack patterns, and he's out in force today. And he slashes at you with this." He takes the claw from his pocket and holds it at the front of the raptor's three-toed foot.

"Oh Alan," Ellie scowled.

"A six-inch retractable claw, like a razor, on the middle toe. They don't bother to bite the jugular, like a lion, they just slash here, here or maybe across the belly, spilling your intestines. Point is, you're alive when they start to eat you."

The poor kid is on the verge if tears. It's a good thing the parent isn't here to watch this or Dad would be getting an earful.

"So, you know, try to show a little respect." He said to the boy who was shaking with that he walks back across the camp, returning to his skeleton. Ellie and me hurry to catch up with him.

"Dad if you really wanted to scare him you could of just pulled a gun out on him." I said catching up to him. I started calling him dad last month, to see if it would get him to like me he tensed at first and every time I called him it he flinched or got uncomfortable.

"Yeah, I know, you know...kids. You want to have one of those?" he turned to Ellie.

Ellie laughed, "I don't want that kid, but possible a breed of Dr Grants. What's wrong with kids?" She looked at me winking the entire time.

"Oh, Ellie, look. They're noisy, they're messy, they're tricky, they're expensive." He gestured with his hands.

"Cheap, cheap." Ellie said linking her arm through mine.

"They smell." Dad said, giving another excuse.

"Oh my god, they do not! They don't smell." We both said.

"They do smell. Some of them smell. Babies smell." He said, my anger was growing now. Like he would know, he wasn't there through my childhood.

"Come on stop with the excuses." I mumbled, Ellie heard and stopped as Dad spun around to look at me with a furious look.

"I heard you Katie, I don't appreciate what you just said."

"Well Dad, you need to hear it." I snapped.

He opened his mouth to say something, but the wind suddenly picked up, getting sand in my eyes as I was not wearing a hat. All of a sudden a helicopter came over the site. "What the?" Dad said and started to run down the hill with Ellie following him.

"Great." I sighed, as we were interrupted once again from an upcoming argument.

Who the hell was this now? I thought as I followed them down the hill to cover up the bones. I looked to see Dad running to the helicopter, who he said something too then ran inside the caravan.

….

Well first chapter is up. What do you guys think? Now that it's a new character I won' be having any trait of Dawn in Katie. Dawn was just a copy of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and I didn't like it.

Please review, follow, and favourite. It only takes less than 2 minutes.

Until next time.
