As you all know, this story is the original. Jordan has been removed from the story, as no one liked him and now I realize he was dumb anyway. For those of you that would have rather read the newer version(with Aria Grant and Blue), let me know in a P.M or in the review section. I might write this version first and also do that version as a separate story. One last thing: I'd like to thank all the people that have stuck with this story through its crazy shambles, and have followed, favorited, and reviewed. You people are just the best! (P.S. the first 6-7 chapters of this story just suck with grammar and plot. I apologize for that, but I did go back and correct most of it. I started this story when I was very young, and my writing skill was lacking back then, haha.) I hope you enjoy!
"This is going to be so much fun!" Jessica Curt grinned widely.
Her mother nodded. "Yes, it is."
Jessica sat in the seat of the plane, swinging her feet. Her mother sat next to her, her hands folded in her lap. Her mother had shoulder length brown hair, which was now pulled into a bun, and green eyes. She was a patient woman, with a hidden firm side. Her father sat in the next seat over. He had short black hair and blue eyes. He was an architect in the town where they lived.
They were headed on their way to Jurassic Park, which her uncle, Henry Wu, had said would be quite a good experience for them. Jessica never knew her mother had a brother.
"I didn't know you had a brother, Mom." Jessica commented casually. "How come you never said?"
"Because you never asked. He lives down here in Costa Rica. I haven't seen him since I was 20." Her mother said.
"Oh."
Her mother, Abigail, was 36 years old. That meant she hadn't seen her own brother in 16 years!
"When will we be there?" Jessica asked impatiently.
"Soon. Just look out the window. The landscape around here is beautiful." Her father said with a nod towards the window.
Jessica turned to the airplane's small window, pressing her face against the glass. She glanced out to see puffy clouds. They lined the entire sky, making it so she couldn't see the ground.
"Woah. Cool." She said under her breath.
The pilots voice suddenly clicked onto the intercom. "Hello, ladies and gentlemen. This is your pilot speaking. We're coming in for a landing here at Jurassic Park. There might be a bit of turbulence. We ask that you please buckle your seat belts for safety reasons. Thank you." The intercom clicked and the voice was gone. The buckle light blinked on in front of her family's seats.
Jessica reached down and buckled her belt, glancing over at her mother and father. They both nodded. The plane started to swoop down, towards the airport. Jessica could see the clouds disappear outside and the ground take it's place. The airplane rapidly swooped down until they were almost touching the ground. The wheels swung out and lightly touched the runway. The plane's weight shifted down onto the ground, and they rolled a little bit farther before starting to slow. The airplane finally reached a speed slow enough someone could run and keep up with it. It wheeled over to the gate and screeched to a halt.
Jessica gasped and clicked off her seatbelt. She was beyond excited. She jumped up. Her mother grabbed her arm and pulled her down into her seat again. Jessica frowned.
"Wait. You need to be patient. I know you're excited, but you need to be patient." Her mother released her arm.
Jessica nodded. Waiting wasn't her specialty. After a few minutes, the flight attendant strolled into the room. She wore a smile on her face. When everyone saw her, their eyes all darted her way.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen! We will be unloading the planes and luggage now. If you have any luggage in the bottom compartment, when you get off the plane please come to the specialized room. Thank you, and welcome to Jurassic Park!" The attendant strolled out of the room again and Jessica jumped to her feet.
She grabbed up at the top compartment and eventually made all the luggage come falling out. It fell on her head.
"Crap!" She growled.
Her mother flicked her on the arm. "Shush."
Jessica grabbed her two bags and shoved her parent's bags toward them. Her father grabbed his two and so did her mother. The three of them filed out into the aisle and scooted down the path. They reached the exit and scooted out. What they saw was amazing.
A huge sign greeted them. In huge stenciled letters read: WELCOME TO JURASSIC PARK. Ferns that looked to be fake sat in two small gardens beside them. Two torches burnt beside the sign. It was on a wooden door.
Jessica gasped. "Woah. This is so cool!"
A man in a red shirt and khaki shorts walked out in front of the gate. He smiled. It seemed his shirt had a tyrannosaurus skeleton and a circle around it. In the bottom in large letters it read: Jurassic Park.
"Welcome to Jurassic Park folks! The wonders you will see when you enter this park will blow your mind away. We have many tours and rides for you all to experience. First, we will be going to our Safari Lodge, where you will all receive your rooms and will be able to settle in. Then you will all be able to explore our wonderful park. We have merchandise, food, and many other package offers you can purchase at the front desk of the hotel. Enjoy your stay with us here on Isla Nublar!" The man turned and the gates creaked open.
Jessica watched with aw. The group followed the tour guide in through the gates. It was mostly just a building with fossils and exhibits first. They walked out of the front doors to be confronted with a road. It seemed to lead away into the forest. The group moved alongside the road for a while, until they reached a huge lodge. Everyone followed the guide up the steps. They entered to find a huge lobby. On every wall and pillar, dinosaurs were stenciled into them. The group filed into a few lines, where they waited to be checked in.
"This is awesome! This place is so nice!" Jessica said, tugging on her father's arm.
"It really is. It's amazing we're here for free." Her father nodded.
They waited in line for a while before reaching the desk. They quickly checked in and hopped into the elevator. They reached their room and set their stuff where it belonged. Then they headed out into the park.
Henry Wu shook his head. "No. They're already here."
Henry Wu was a man of his early 30's. He had been employed by Jurassic Park eight years ago as the head researcher. From then on, it hadn't been easy.
"Is Regis going to get them?" Alan Grant asked.
Alan Grant was a paleontologist who had visited the park a few years ago. He had agreed to stay and help with the park's attractions. He was quite an intelligent man, in his late 40's.
"Regis is doing the tour right now." Wu responded.
"Ah. Who's picking them up then?"
"I thought you could."
Alan frowned. "The new batch of raptors are hatching any time now."
Wu shrugged. "I was hoping they could be here for that. Go fast."
Alan nodded. "Alright." He turned out of the hatchery and was gone.
Wu turned back to the table of eggs. The mechanical hand was turning the them so they could be warmed in the artificial light. Wu bent over to examine them. He could see that they would hatch soon. Some were shaking slightly, others were beginning to crack. If none of these raptors survived, it would be the eighth batch that had failed in two years. The 6 raptors the park did have were well maintained, but Jurassic Park scientists had no clue what the average lifespan of a velociraptor was. They could die any day, and the park would have no raptors to replace them.
Raptors were dangerous animals though. They couldn't be treated like the stegosaurus or the triceratops. They were deadly killers. 3 workers had already been slaughtered while working with the raptors. They weren't safe. And one thing was for certain: they could never be tamed.
Jessica followed the man who had introduced himself as Dr. Alan Grant down the white hall. Her mother and father walked next to him, discussing quietly. Jessica read the labels on the metal doors as they walked by. They read: LAB, FERTALIZATION, MAIN CONTROL, NURSERY, SUPPLIES, EXTRACTION.
Dr. Grant came to a sudden halt and Jessica almost ran into him. He turned to a door marked: HATCHERY, and smiled.
"This, is your first destination. Get ready to be blown away." He said with a wave of his hands.
They proceeded into the room. At first all Jessica saw was people in lab coats carrying around abnormally large eggs. Then she saw what was so mind boggling. A man in his early 30's held a creature Jessica thought long extinct. A dinosaur.
