Chapter Three

Ellie! The Door locks!

Disclaimer: I do not own Alan Grant or anything related to Jurassic Park. I am not writing this for a means of money (though that would be awesome.). This is for enjoyment only. Also, I don't own any raptors. Not even a plastic one.

I'd like to also thank my beta-reader, PorcelainNinja, for helping me fix this up.


Alan Grant tried to steady his beating heart. It had been so long since he had run from raptors that he had almost forgotten the adrenaline rush and fear that had come with the chase. Almost. He quickly threw a glance behind him to see if there were any raptors close by. All he saw was empty space. Thankful, he stopped by a trunk of a tree and crouched. He then heard the almost cawing noise of a raptor. Alan froze. When nothing came at him, Alan slowly looked over the large root. There was a male raptor. Alan had never seen anything like him. The raptor's skin was a blue color and he had feathers on his head. The raptor cawed again, as if he was talking to someone. Alan slowly moved back and pondered this.

"Who are you talking to? What are you saying?" he asked as he rubbed his chin, then moved back to get another look. The raptor was gone. Alan felt a momentary feeling of disappointment. But that was replaced by fright as the head of the male raptor was suddenly in his face. Something about the look the raptor gave him, that twinkle in its eye reminded Alan of another time he was face-to-face with a raptor.


Alan pushed Lex and Tim, making them go faster.

"Here!" Ellie said as she entered the control room. Lex, then Tim entered the room and Alan shut the door. He looked down to make sure the door was locked. It wasn't. He tried locking it himself, but they were automatic.

"The door locks!" he yelled. "Ellie! The door locks!" Alan looked up and out the window to make sure the raptor wasn't near. Instead, he was staring in the eye of the large female. The 'big one' as Robert Muldoon had called her. She had fresh blood in her mouth. The raptor looked down, as did Alan. The handle began to turn. Alan started in amazement as the raptor opened the door. Too late he realized his mistake. The raptor pressed against the door, pushing it open. Alan pressed his body against the door, keeping it closed. Ellie left the computer to help.

"Ellie! Get the door locks!" Alan yelled again, straining under the pressure of the large raptor.

"You can't hold it by yourself!" Ellie yelled back.


Alan shook his head to get out of the past. He jumped back away from the animal, and the raptor jumped on the root. Alan took several steps away when the raptor let out a call. Moments later, he was surrounded by five or six raptors. He watched as a female walked slowly up to him. Then, something was thrown into the circle and smoke began pouring out of the can. The raptors coughed and ended up leaving Alan alone. Someone ran into the smoke wearing a gas mask and camouflage made of leaves and other plants. The person grabbed Alan's hand and they ran.
