Author's rant: ::giggles:: Lightbulby wrote the cutest reveiw! Lol that was so precious. I read it and just had to giggle. So kawaii. And Ginger you are still one of the greatest reveiwers ever! ^_^ I'll take your advice at write like mad. And I'll take the coupld advice I seem to always be getting. Alan/Ellie moments and Ian/Sarah will be there in a sequel that I plan on doing once this one reaches completion. As for Eric and Julia... well... I am not sure about that. ^_^ The two will always be close but me thinks I am not going to actually have anything said or lock of lips. They are just kids and I think that if I did it would have to be years later. When they aren't 12-13. ^_^ But I don't think it would be wise to push this thing that far. Well I will get some Ian/Sarah, Alan/Ellie and I might hint at a certain *closeness* between Eric and Julia.

Chapter 12

Billy sat in the back of the barge with Eric, Julia and Tory. With the rain pounding down on them, he almost didn't notice his stomache growl. Almost. Reaching into the pocket of his vest he extracted one of the candy bars he'd taken from the vending machine in the InGen building.
As he finished the candy bar Eric and Julia looked at eachother and grinned through the pounding rain.
"Ya'know, that candy bar is eight years old." Eric said.
They could barely see Billy turn green through the rain but they knew they had succeeded in disgusting him.
"God, get away from me... I am gonna puke..." Billy shouted through the rain.
The three children backed away from him. Eric and Julia snatched Tory when he nearly backed over the edge. A quick glance at the water and their blood froze.
"Dr. Grant!" Eric called, fighting his urge to panic and forcing himself to think and act rather then be the person he had once been back in Enid. The person his parents hadn't recognized when they first saw him.
Alan approached, the Kirby's and Billy hanging back slightly remained within hearing.
"Look!" Eric shouted through the rain, pointing to the waters surface, where fish were jumping out of water. "Something must've spooked 'em!"
Alan frowned, knowing full well what this meant. "Start the engine Mr. Kirby!"
Not wanting to be the one to disobey the "experts" advice, Paul immediatly began attempting to start the engine. He didn't notice the sail of the spinosaurus rise out of the water.
Paul was knocked back as something big hit the barge. He looked in horror as the head of the spinosaurus rose out of the water. Pulling himself off the floor of the barge, he ran after the others, to the cage that was on the barge. He jumped in and the others pulled the door closed as the dinosaur smashed the boat, peice by peice. They could only hope that when it got to the the cage, it wouldn't be able to get into it.
A desperate, terrified scream erupted from all of the humans as the predator smashed the boat, leaving the cage to sink in the river. For a moment they were almost relieved. There was a few inches above the waterline thanks to the fact that the cage fell at an odd angle. However the spinosaur was still there, the rain might flood the river and the cage landed on the door, trapping the humans within.
Billy screamed as the dinosaur lifted the cage and he was thrown against the side. He could barely see the door of the cage fly open through the darkness, and the pounding rain. He could see it though as he and Paul fell through it.
If there was one thing Billy had learned from Eric and Julia, it was that you had to run the first chance you get, no matter how disorientated you think you are. He barely noticed Mr. Kirby swimming in the opposite direction of him and the shore.

Eric screamed as the spinosaur set the cage back in the water, with the opening facing upward this time. He hugged himself against the bars and screamed until his throat hurt as the spino's claws nearly tore the shirt from his back.
His eyes snapped open as his fathers voice rang out through the storm. The spinosaurus discarded the cage and went after the easier prey.
Eric could only watch in horror as the spino's claw went right through Tory's chest as it threw the cage into the river.

OH MY GOD!!!! I do not believe I just did that... Well complain if you want to. ^_~ I just might solve this little problem with writers magic. Oh and Lightbulby29, according to your profile your father would be dead now if he hadn't missed his flight... Well people let me give you some advice: DON'T MISS THOSE STORIES!!! A man carrying a woman down 20 flights of stairs for example. Don't miss those stories, kids... Really makes a difference. Well onto happier business (I know, after reading this chapter you really want *happy* business...). Well plans for a sequel to this fic are under way. And I have an idea for the first chapter... ::giggles:: Lets just say it involves: Eric, Julia, a childrens hospital ward and The Land Before Time... Heh heh... Figure THAT out!
