A/N: This chapter might seem like the end, but it's not. We've still got a
chapter and an epilogue to go. And please don't start sending bad reviews
because of the cameos in this chapter. For some reason, a lot of people
just don't like when original characters return. LoL.
Chapter Nineteen
By- Dani
"How did you do it? How'd you survive?" Eric asked Dana.
They were walking through the meadow, crouched low in the tall, dry grass. They waited for the heard of galamimes to move on, getting the pleasure of watching them tear a wounded one apart before they left.
"When you ran away, I didn't really have a plan. The raptors surrounded the tree and began to jump up. While I was climbing for my life, the denim jacket came off my ankle. The dinos made a grab for it, but then realized that I was better pray, and they began to climb after me. One of them grabbed my duster and tore it off in attempt to get me," Dana explained.
"-And that's why we found the jacket and the ripped duster," Eric cut in, thinking aloud.
"Right. That's why you thought I was dead, isn't it?"
Everyone nodded.
"But whose blood was that? Did you get bitten again or something?" Cordelia wondered.
"Well, that's kind of a long story. It wasn't my blood. See, when the first raptor came after me, the second chased that one. It bit its tail. The tail bled onto the duster. Then the first raptor was so shocked about the bite that it fell out of the tree. The second one jumped down after it and the two started fighting. They forgot all about me. I came down to the other side of the tree and got away as fast as I could. I didn't turn back so I don't even know what happened to the raptors," Dana finished. She took a deep breath. It was obvious that she had wanted to say all of this for a while.
"I'm just really happy you're okay," Cordelia said.
"Yeah, I don't know what we would've done without you," Eric agreed.
"And what's with the long lost siblings over here?" Tim brought up.
"I guess he's my brother…I always wanted to know who my family was," Dana said, smiling.
"It's amazing how this thing worked out," Billy commented.
Tim suddenly looked straight ahead. Whatever he was looking at, he couldn't seem to pull his gaze away from.
"Uhh, I think we're gonna have to hold this touching family reunion for later…" he began to back away slowly, then gained speed. Everyone followed him and ran as fast as they could, Cordelia and Dana limping a little behind.
HHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR!
The T-rex pounded behind them.
"Wait, wait, wait," Dr. Grant stopped, suddenly remembering. "Don't move."
Everyone stood perfectly still, and the T-rex looked past them and turned away. Just then, Dana tripped a little on her bad foot. As the dinosaur turned sharply around, everyone screamed and began running again. As the neared the beach, they thought the heard someone talking loudly. A woman.
"I'll just wait here a minute… tell him we haven't found them yet… no, you don't need to bring Ian out yet… thank you. Over and out."
Dr. Grant, Lex, and Tim didn't have time to recognize the name or voice they heard. They just kept running. Everyone else followed. Finally, they hit sand. They saw the woman who had been on the walkie- talkie. She was tall, with pale skin and wavy red hair pulled back into a ponytail. She glanced at them, sighed and smiled, then clicked the button on the walkie- talkie.
"Dr. Cleveland? I've located them. Yeah, the plane's ready. They're all here and…"
She stopped talking as her eyes fell upon the Tyrannosaurus that had been following them. She backed towards the open door of a small plane.
"Get in," she ordered, not that she needed to. Everyone was already scrambling aboard. Billy slammed the door behind them.
The group took a few minutes to catch their breath. Then someone walked out of the cockpit of the plane.
"Dr. Grant? Uh, how are you? I don't believe you've met my fiancé, Dr. Sarah Harding?" Ian Malcolm spoke up and took the seat next to Sarah.
"Umm…. No. Pleased to meet you, Dr. Harding. Congratulations," Alan shook Sarah's hand. Then he sat down next to Tim.
Eric, Dana, and Cordelia took the three- seat row, and Billy and Lex sat together in the two seats behind them.
"How did you know to come?" Tim questioned Malcolm.
"First I got an e-mail. I thought it was just Lex playing a joke. Then Ellie called me. She was at an airport on the mainland of Costa Rica, boarding a plane back to the U.S. She told me what had happened and asked for my help. I said yes. But only after I knew that we'd be… uh… protected."
"Huh? Protected how?" Dr. Grant questioned.
Sarah pointed towards the left window of the plane. Flying along side of them were five military planes and a smaller private jet like theirs. Inside were Ellie, Allasyn, Michael, Sheila, Amanda, and Paul.
The group sighed with relief. The adults had made it safely and they were going home.
Tim, Alan, and Ian caught up, talking about the past eight years.
Dana turned in her seat to Billy and Lex, who were talking quietly.
"So, Billy, am I gonna have a sister in law now?" she teased, gesturing towards Lex.
Lex blushed, and Billy pulled back with, "I don't know what you're talking about."
Cordelia shook her head. "Oh, please. The two of you have been flirting and sending each other signals since we all got on this stupid island. So why don't you just ask the girl out already?"
Lex turned bright pink and looked down, and Billy grinned.
"Fine. Lex, you wanna maybe get together sometime?"
Lex smiled. "Yeah… yeah, I'd love to."
"That wasn't that hard, was it?" Dana laughed.
Eric smiled. "Ok, I think you've tortured them enough…"
"Thanks, Eric," Billy said.
"But it is pretty sweet…" Eric grinned. Billy gave him a look.
Everyone laughed. It was great to be leaving the Hell Eric had experienced two too many times. Leaving…

A/N: Ok, I think this story is kind like the second movie of the Jurassic Park trilogy. You keep thinking it's over, and it's really not. LoL. Well, please review. Thank you :-)
