Chapter 1
Julia let out a soft sigh, wondering where Eric was. He'd somehow persuaded her to go with him to the mall but had disappeared to go speak to someone and Julia had lost sight of him. It seemed like she'd stood, waiting for ages now.
Suddenly a sharp, shrill laugh hit her ears. All sounds of the malls shoppers halted and the voices of the crowd joined the laughter. Looking up, Julia cursed her phobia of large crowds and Eric for leaving her alone here. Everyone's face seemed to look the same to her as they continued staring at her as they laughed. She looked in vain for Eric, hoping he'd come and take her away from this. Stepping away from the crowd, Julia felt the sensation that they were pushing her way, forcing her back. Trembling slightly, wishing her nerves lasted against people as they had against dinosaurs, Julia darted for a door, not caring where Eric was now. All she wanted was out, away from their laughter which was so loud she thought it would shatter stone.
As she burst out the door Julia froze, disbelief all over her usually emotionally void face. A herd of iguanadon grazed in the sunlight on a jungle island. The island she'd known as home for her entire life.
Isla Sorna.
Looking back to the mall, she saw the people staring at her through the glass door, like they were worried. Turning to Isla Sorna again, she found the face of an iguanadon staring into her eyes. The creature had to practically be lying down to look her in the eye and the moment their eyes met, everything seemed to freeze.
"Amanda...?" She whispered, hesitation in her voice. Nothing seemed to imply anything of the sort but something in Julia's gut told her it was Amanda. The dinosaur nodded its head slightly, before letting out a cry.
Stepping back in shock, Julia's eyes widened in horror as she saw the raptor clawing at Amanda as its fellows joined it. One of the raptor's turned to her, a slight snarl upon its face before it let loose a screech. It didn't sound like the raptor shrieks she'd known, however. I sounded like one of them. The people at Enid, the ones who laughed. None of the people truly meant any harm but they didn't want someone like her around. Someone so different who would upset the balance of their town. But why was this raptor....?
'It doesn't matter! Run!' Her mind screamed. She instantly complied, not bothering to wonder how this was happening as she tore through the jungle. When she finally came to a stop, she was almost in tears. She felt so lost. A cry from over head stopped her from considering what to do next.
Looking up, she could only stare in confusion. Was that a pteranadon or was it Eric? Forgetting her fatigue from running from the raptors she started after him. She could hardly recognize her surroundings as she kept her attention on the pteranadon. Suddenly the tree line broke, and Julia was now standing at the edge of a cliff. The cliff that over-saw the aviary. The pteranadon circled over the aviary staring at her, with eyes that so resembled her friends... It continued to stare at her before it opened its mouth, speaking with Eric's voice.
"Are you coming with me?"
Julia's eyes snapped open, the darkness of her room brought the absurdity of the dream to light. Strange, how different things were in the dream. The people, or dinosaurs... Herself. She was so fragile and easily frightened. Briefly it crossed her mind to leave her house, in spite of the fact it was still dark outside, and talk to Eric. She quickly dismissed this idea. Perhaps she would mention it but the details of it were almost too humiliating to even think about. Turning over onto her side, she wondered why she kept having such strange dreams and thoughts. About the island. Perhaps she missed something, or lost something.
