Thanks to everyone who has viewed this story! I really appreciate all the follows, favorites and reviews.

If anyone was wondering why this story differs from the film, while i mostly added dialogue, I am following the original script (the only one I could find on the internet). I debated whether or not to take sme scenes out but i ultimately felt like they fit into the story.

Charlotte saw her uncle throw the phone is frustration as he made his way into the dinosaur cage to join the remaining members who had hidden themselves in a cage. They are thrown around by the dinosaur so ferociously that Charlotte wouldn't be able to see what was happening, regardless of the darkness. The next thing she knew they were being thrown back into the water. As the cage started sinking Paul was able to secure as he was the first out of the cage door. Charlotte felt him grab her hand, as she swam closest to him, leading her out of the cage as well. She tried in vain to reach out to the person closest to her only to fail as the cage landed door down in the water.

Charlotte and Paul fought the bars in hopes of providing any pressure to break. Soon both had started to feel the affects of lack of oxygen. charlotte broke the surface first.

"We need to get them out!" She yelled at the older man.

"I know!" He yelled back as water got into his mouth. "Go back down in 1, 2, 3." The reentered the cold depths pushing at the cage. Eventually they were bale to tip the structure over.

Charlotte saw her uncle, Amanda and Eric make it out as she swam towards them. The spinosaurus hadn't completed its revenge and in attempt to defeat the group it took the cage and a frightened Paul and threw them straight out of the water.

"Paul."

"Dad!"

"Up! Up!" Alan called out grabbing the groups attention towards a large crane. Amanda wasted no time in pushing Eric up the length of it. Amanda followed closely behind and Charlotte hesitated, making sure her uncle would follow them up. He urged her ahead as she started to climb.

"Where's Dad?" Eric calls out as the group frantically searches the surrounding area.

"Just hold on." His mother reminded him as the dinosaur rammed into the crane, unable to climb but still able to damage the machine the humans were on.

Charlotte saw her uncle struggling to find something in his pack.

"Now isn't the time to write notes." She called out at him. She was met with no answer but an extremely familiar sound. In her uncle's hand held the resonating chamber of a velociraptor. The Spinosaurus stops for a moment before continuing to ram into the crane. Just as the crane was on its last legs another cry is heard.

A raptor appears from the darkness as the spinosaur pauses. More raptors came out to surround the lone one. The survivors watched in fascination as they observed these dinosaurs interact. None of them are quite sure what to do. Charlotte contemplated the decision to jump and swim for it but realized that the dinosaurs would find her more interesting. There was a first time for everything. Suddenly the raptors attack the spiosaurus. the sight was full of angry teeth and blood as the raptors climbed on the larger creatures back.

"Jump! Swim for the far shore!" Alan shouted as they fell, one by one, into the dark water.

As soon as they made it to shore Charlotte collapsed on the ground.

"Are you okay?" Amanda rushed over holding the younger girls head in her hands.

"Yeah." She nodded as she slowly stood up only to waiver slightly. "Just dizzy." Alan walked over to see a large bruise on the side of her head.

"Concussion." He affirmed. She nodded as they stood debating what to do.

"We have to keep looking for Dad. We have to." Eric yelled out at the quiet adults.

"I know. I know. I want to look for him too." Amanda comforted her son.

"Then we should..." Amanda knelt down looking the young boy in the eyes. Charlotte can tell that she was upset. She's upset and tired and worried but she's holding it together for her son. Charlotte couldn't do that. She was just about ready to cry because of all the things they had seen, all the deaths they had witnessed. Her admiration for the woman grew, despite the fact that her determination to find her son would most likely get them killed.

"Let me tell you a few things about you Dad, okay? He's very very very clever, very very brave, and he loves you ever very much."

"He loves you too." Eric relies to her mother, unaware of the double meaning behind his words.

"Okay. He loves us very very much. And I know that right now more than anything, your Dad would want to know that we're safe. Okay?" Eric nodded. "We're going to get out of this, and everything's going to be all right, I promise."

"Listen to your mother." Charlotte's head whipped around as Paul Kirby walked out of the darkness. Eric ran towards his father, tackling him into a hug.

"Good thing I've been swimming, huh?" Amanda joined the hug as they all laughed.

As they broke away from the embrace Alan gave Paul a curt nod and a pat on the back.

"I'm glad you're okay Paul." Charlotte smiled at him but she couldn't escape the image of Billy returning with the other man, free from any Pterosaurs.

They continued their trek as they were finally able to reach the beach. It seemed to go on for miles and the group was feeling even more hopeless. The past few hours had been filled with the Kirby's swapping stories from various vacations they had experienced. Paul did most of the talking as Amanda smiled along. Charlotte had stopped listening a few miles back. She wasn't sure if she was still moving. Her head felt fuzzy and her legs had turned into lead. She walked alongside her uncle who had remained quiet.

You remember when we went fishing last summer? And I was trying to put the boat in and the trailer sank? And then the tow truck came and tried to pull it out, but it got dragged in? And the truck driver threatened to knock your Dad's lights out? So I said I was the governor and he believed me?"

"Yeah." Eric smiled at his father. Charlotte noticed Amanda smiling too as she looked at her ex husband.

"That was a fun day."

"We should try fishing again." Amanda suggested quietly.

"You mean it?"

"I do. It's worth another shot. And who knows? Things might turn out differently." Charlotte noticed them grass each others hand. Charlotte's body shot up the same time her uncles did. They wordlessly walked away from the intimate family moment. Eric must have felt uncomfortable with the fluffy conversation as he soon greeted the two who were walking down the beach.

"The lady you called, how do you know she can help us?" Charlotte shrugged.

"She's the one person I could always count on. And she's saved me more times than she realizes. I owe her everything." Charlotte gave her uncle a sad smile. It was clear to her and everyone around them that Alan and Ellie still shared a deep connection with each other. Maybe it was the survival of Jurassic Park. Shared trauma could bring the allusion of attachment.

"It's strikes me now I never told her that."

"You should." Eric urged Alan as he glanced up at his idol.

"Maybe if you did things would be different."

"Maybe you're right." He quieted as Charlotte picked up a few sticks, handing one to Eric and started fake sword fighting with them. She faked an injury, smiling as Eric held up the "sword" in triumph.

"Eric, do you know what happened to the boat? that brought you here? Why did it crash?" Alan asked the boy as he turned around.

"No. I couldn't see."

"Do me a favor. Go back to your parents for a minute, would you? They look worried." He stalked off to his parents as Charlotte gave her uncle a questioning glance.

"What was that?" He pointed towards the speedboat. Charlotte immediately recognized it as the one that Eric had parasailed on. She dropped her shoulders, giving her uncle an exasperated look.

"Really?"
