A.N.- Soooo excited to have a Jurassic Park sequel! This is because of my valiant readers who rallied for a sequel. You guys are wonderful, I'd never have gotten around to it if so many people hadn't given their input.
THIS STORY IS DEDICATED TO YOU ALL! -Jade
Jurassic Park: Back to the Island, Ch. 1
Alexander:
"I swear, if you spineless dogs can't get that crate onto this beach I'll make sure you get put in there with them!" The rain was pelting my face, but I didn't care. BioSyn had paid to get this done, and by God I was getting that money. The weary men in front of me heaved on pulleys while two other men manned a crane and a forklift. They slowly lifted a big metal cage off the deck of our ship and placed it gently in the sand.
"Don't you get a scratch on that, you hear! I'll shoot the lot of you!" I shouted to them. They didn't understand English well, but after I fired my pistol in the air once they got the message. They began slowly moving the crate up the beach under the ever watchful glare of our spotlights.
"Can't see a damn thing in this dark," I muttered. We placed the cage at the edge of the trees where the jungle met the shore and opened the gate wide. I turned to the man standing by me.
"Go get them," He stepped back hurriedly, speaking in rapid Spanish with bits of English.
"No, no señore, I can't- won't go in there. Ellos es diablos!" He stammered. I rolled my eyes and shot him in the thigh. He screamed as his warm blood sprayed the man behind him. I turned to the bloody soldier behind him.
"Now, yougo get them. Draw those beasts out here." I sniffed disdainfully at the coppery scent of blood sprayed on his clothes. "It shouldn't be too difficult for you."
We waited for about twenty minutes after the second man entered the jungle. There was absolute silence on the beach except for the pounding of the waves against the hull of the boat and the humming of the crane's engine. Finally, we heard a scream and distant crashing. The sound grew louder until the man stumbled out of the trees and collapsed onto the sand. A loud roar resonated within the trees, but we couldn't see its source because it stayed within the treeline. I could hear thunderous footsteps retreating farther back within the island with loud roars accompanying it. I was sorely tempted to follow it and hunt it down (that being my nature, after all), but I was stopped by high pitched squeaks from the shrubs by the tree's edge. Small reptiles hopped out of the trees and onto the man's body. They began to bite and tear at him, even though they were only the size of a chicken or housecat. He screamed for a moment, but then fell limp. I drew my pistol and fired it at the creatures. They scattered, but one fell dead on the man's chest. I picked it up gingerly by its tail and carried it back to the crew. They were all silent and fidgeting obviously with their hats or with their equipment.
"Well?" I roared, "Load that crate back on the boat and prepare to pull out! The scouting's done!" I dropped the little dinosaur's body into a cooler and stalked back onto the steamer, leaving the men to retrieve the man's body; but I didn't think they'd risk such danger
Jackson:
"So you just left?" I asked him. Alexander Treshkovak nodded in front of me. I rubbed my eyes tiredly. "And what do you expect to show for the trip? It was a waste of money! As BioSyn's CEO I have to keep the public entertained! If we don't have a clue about that island- " Alex held up his hand aggravatedly and slammed a styrofoam cooler on my desk. I opened it gingerly and grimaced at the foul smell it exuded.
"What is this?" I asked weakly, he smirked at me.
"That," He said, "Is our ticket to getting the people who know about those beasts and can tell us how to subdue them. There's big stuff on that island, Mr. Jackson, and as much as it pains me to say it- I want some help with it so I don't get eaten." I nodded and laced my fingers together.
"Then who do you think we should ask?" The bounty hunter smiled eerily at me.
"Oh, we won't be asking. And I know just who to get."
Alice:
"Mid-Jurassic, seems to still be juvenile. It's in pretty rough condition so I can't tell." I said to my intern, Daniel Umanski. He pushed his glasses up his nose and jotted my words down. I carefully wrapped the fossil up and exchanged it for another one. I studied it under the microscope for a bit before sitting back and rubbing my eyes.
"Early Triassic. And I mean early, the leg structures are evolutionarily new, so legs were just beginning to evolve from fins." Daniel nodded and wrote it down.
"How many more to go, Danny?" I asked him,
"Thirteen left," He responded, I groaned.
"No, no, no." Then I sighed, "Fine, let's get these done so we can call it a day, alright?" I pushed my black hair over my shoulder and bent over the next specimen.
"Daniel, early Jurassic, full grown adult with scratches most likely from conflict. Take this one down and have it carbon dated, okay? Daniel?" I listened for his confirmation without taking my eyes away from the scope.
"What you looking at, Miss Alice?" A voice asked by my ear. I shrieked and pitched forward, knocking the inside part of my eye right by the bridge of my nose on the scope.
"Ian!" I growled, clasping my hand over my eye. "That's going to leave a mark!" Malcolm laughed at me and sauntered forward with a smile. He pried my hand away from my face and inspected my eye,
"You'll be fine. I think it'll blend with all those circles under your eyes." I swatted at him gently, as he pulled me close to kiss me. I let myself melt into his arms like a cliche princess and kissed him back. Ever since we had returned from Isla Nublar, Ian's stuttering had almost vanished, unless he was pressured, and I had gained much more confidence in myself. My arm had healed, and Ian's leg had, too. I was so grateful that we were safe; we often spoke with Alan and Ellie about the kids and other trivial matters, but none of us mentioned Jurassic Park to each other.
Daniel cleared his throat behind us and I pulled back, completely sure my face was red. Ian winked at him,
"Thanks for keeping quiet, kid." He said, Daniel nodded and quickly excused himself. Ian laughed and took my hand to pull me to the door.
"Come on, let's go get lunch or do something fabulously feminine," He said, I laughed and took my hand back.
"I can't, I have to finish classifying these, Dr. Malcolm." I said. Ian grabbed a clipboard from the counter and reclined against it with a small wince.
"Your leg?" I asked sympathetically, he shrugged it off with a smile and tapped the clipboard.
"It's just acting up and being achy. So, thirteen left, huh? I'll jot it down, then we can go." I sighed and turned back to the scope. Before I could inspect the next fossil the door was flung open and a tall man strode in. He was wearing a white polo shirt and I had a brief memory of John Hammond entering my lab the same way wearing the same attire.
Except this man had much more hair.
"Doctors Dawson and Malcolm," The stranger said curtly.
"Yes," We both answered. The man took long, sure strides towards us across between the tables. He swept his hands across the counters, knocking papers and fossils to the ground. A young Pachycephalosaurus skull fell to the tile floor with a crack and broke.
"Stop!" I shouted, Ian stepped beside me.
"What do you think you're doing?" He said angrily, the stranger kept walking until he was right in front of us and removed his sunglasses.
"I need you to come with me," He said, "Now."
"And what if we don't?" I said furiously. The man picked up the bone I had been inspecting under the microscope and placed it between his fingers like someone found break a pencil.
"I don't think it was ever a question." He said cooly. Ian put his arm on my waist and whispered into my ear,
"It's okay, let's just go see what he wants, then we'll leave, okay?" I nodded quietly at his consolation and followed the man out of the lab, unaware of what we were getting into.
A.N.- Chapter one of this sequel is UP! (If you haven't noticed, XD) I'm pretty excited to be writing this. Alice will have a bit more spirit, and Ian will probably be a badass sarcastic badass.
Tell me what you guys want to happen! This is totally up to you guys!
I know it's a little nondescriptive, but those two guys in the first part will come back, so don't worry. THANK YOU to my readers of the original JP Rewritten who asked for a sequel, this wouldn't have come around without you!
Please read, review, and stay tuned!
