I can't believe it. We've stopped in the rain. Outside the T. Rex paddock. We're lucky to be in this nice car, though it can't make the tropical temperature go away. I just resort to fanning myself with my cap. We stopped about fifteen minutes ago, I expect it's just a power cut from the storm earlier. I'm just thinking about Dr Grant, while Timmy's disappeared under the chair in the front of the car.
"BOO!" Timmy shoots up, scaring me to death with these weird goggles. I think they're night vision, which sounds pretty cool. "Hey, where'd you find that?" Gennaro asks Timmy sharply (I really don't like that man!).
"In a chair under my seat."
"Are they heavy?"
"Yeah."
"Then put them back."
Now Gennaro's being mean to Timmy. He really has it in for us two. At this moment, I really don't like Tim for making me jump. "Don't scare me," I say. Timmy isn't listening and instead zooms in with his night vision goggles. Then he sees that the goat is gone, which I see too.
"Where's the goat?" I ask. THUD. I jump. This is worse than Timmy's little prank. The goat's leg dropped onto the roof of the car, with blood coming down the side! I look up again, and through the glass, I see two claws grasping the fence. The T. Rex! Gennaro starts to panic, opens the door, and races out of the car to the toilets. He left us. "He left us! He left us!" I shriek in terror.
The fence is coming down. It's starting to get really serious now. "Dr Grant?" I whisper. Timmy seems frozen with shock. Now a fear that haunted me when I was younger has become real. The T. Rex has escaped! Its steps out from its paddock, and roars. It's the loudest, most deafening thing I've heard in my entire life. I have to do something. It's going to eat us. I go to the very back of the car where there is a big black box. I open it, looking for something that can help me. I scan through, and finally find something that could save all of our lives. A torch!
I switch the torch on, trying to catch the T. Rex, but I realise that I have made the biggest mistake of my life. The T. Rex is COMING TO US.
"Turn the light off!" Timmy yells. I don't, because the T. Rex stops outside of our door, looking towards the big trees ahead of us. Then Timmy tries to shut the door as quiet as he can. But not quiet enough. The T. Rex fixes her evil yellow eyes on us, observing. The head comes right down to me, the pupil of its eye getting small because of the torchlight. Opening its big mouth it roars again. Worse than last time. "Timmy?" I try to shout over the T. Rex, while we both hold our ears.
Then she nudges the car. We're both completely terrorised! It hits the car really hard. Tim and I are shrieking.
"Turn it off!"
"I'm sorry!"
But the light just goes right into the eyes of the T. Rex. And the attack comes from above.
The glass roof has fallen on top of us! Timmy and I are really struggling underneath. Now it's attempting to EAT US! We're screaming so much, we can barely stop to breathe! Then the glass cracks, and the T. Rex is almost able to get to us with its teeth!
Now it's banging its head on the side of the car, it's flipping us right over! As me, Timmy the glass and lots of other things tumble around in the car, we are being cut and scratched everywhere! It's so painful! Why aren't Dr Grant and Dr Malcolm helping us?
Then the T. Rex puts its heavy foot on the car and is sinking us lower, trying to eat through the car to get to us! I hate the horrible mud, it's so wet and doesn't feel nice at all!
I can see Dr Grant with a flare (I think). He's such a hero! He almost manages to get the T. Rex away, but Ian Malcolm tries to do the same, and it's too late. I hope he's alright. Dr Grant rushes over and tries to pull us out while the T. Rex is distracted (I don't know what she is actually doing, but I think its eating something). I manage to get out, but Timmy is still trying because his feet are stuck under seat. Then I come in to direct view of the T. Rex. I do the only thing I can think of. I let out the biggest scream I can manage. As the T. Rex comes towards us, Dr Grant, covers my mouth before I can finish. We stay absolutely still. All the T. Rex does is sniff us, blowing Dr Grant's hat off into the mud. Now it's pushing the car around, and off of the embankment. "Timmy?" I attempt to call to him. "Tim!" Dr Grant says.
"Lex, Lex you're choking me! Grab the wire! Grab the wire!" Which I do just in time, as the car with Timmy inside falls into the trees far below us.
