Well, thank you for the reviews. I hope I don't get you waiting for so long,… I was just busy with my school stuff and home. I never get my mind of off with problem on the first month of school. Well, there's my excuse, so…forgiven?
The plane was zooming up and up in the air. Halley watched the island getting smaller and smaller as they reached the air. She always likes flying, as a small girl, she enjoyed dreaming of flying. She really like the story Peter Pan, and she always dreamed of being Wendy in a movie to experience the flying feeling. But flying wasn't the dream now, her dream, hopefully, be reality, to see dinosaurs.
"Hey, Halley."
She yanked up and quickly turned to Billy and gives him death stare.
"Don't do that again or I'll….I'll…ohhhhh!"
Halley quickly ignored Billy for once and looked at the side window again.
"Can't afford for a new bag pack after all the money I gave you?" Alan asked Billy while he was arranging his things inside that so called bag pack.
"No…it's my lucky pack. Few years ago my friends and I went to the cliffs of New Zealand, and then there was an out draft that swinged me and WHAM!" he got the strap and held it quite protectively in his hands. "This strap alone…saved my life." He continued. Halley gave a fit of giggles and Alan just sigh.
"Reversed Darwinism, Survival of the most Idiotic!"
"Well, at least he's alive, that's all it could take." Halley said eyeing Billy that made him blushed.
"Well, Alan, thank you for bringing me along with you and Halley. I really appreciate it." Billy said while giving Alan an approach look. Sure he's just like him,…a freak of science! Especially dinosaurs!
"Don't get too excited, Billy. It's not always that you get to see real life dinosaurs in the air." Alan moved closer to Billy and tried to whisper. Halley was listening to his father and Billy while still looking outside the plane's window.
"The truth is, you got in hear. It's your time to do get nice." He whispered and laid his back into his seat and put his Indiana Jones hat in front of his face.
Halley looked at his father. She didn't notice that Billy was staring at her.
"So…getting really excited to see all the creatures up in the air?" Billy asked. She turned to him and saw him staring.
"Not that much,…a little scared maybe, but they said that we wouldn't land and that's enough. Seeing dinosaurs' maybe isn't that bad. But all those stories my dad used to tell me when they first reached the island and got stranded….I can still recall them, maybe even memorized it in my mind. In the back of my mind, I've wanted to prove them so that other people wouldn't say that my dad and his friends just made all those stories up. But in the other end, I am really scared, honestly." Halley said.
"Don't be scared…We are here, your dad...me...We will protect you no matter what happens." Billy said putting his comforting hand in her shoulder.
Halley looked at her friend. It was so nice saying that someone will protect you. She thought.
"Can I get some sleep? We still can't be there yet, are we?" she asked again.
"Of course, Little Halley." Billy said.
Halley smiled and rested her head in Billy's shoulder. It was so nice and comfy.
"Alan, Halley, wake up!"
"Alan, Halley, wake up! We're almost there."
Halley was irritated on hearing those words. She opened her eyes and looked at the people around her. At first, Billy then at her dad that looked like that he got a sudden nightmare. The rest wasn't that friendly. Even the Kirby's just treating them like nothing. The man at the back, wearing black all over, black shirt, black sunglasses, and black hair was just like a statue.
An island was visible from the windows of the plane. It was covered with thick fog, evergreen color and high mountains all over the island. It sure is deserted.
The plane was now zooming in the air full of small things moving. At first Halley didn't know what is it, but then Billy came closer to her and told her all of that are dinosaurs!
"God, I totally forgot." Alan said joining the two.
Halley heard Mr. Kirby say something but she just ignored it all. She was really busy and really amused on how on earth did they do that creatures!
"Mrs. Kirby on the left of the plane you can see a whole herd of Brachiosaurus. And the alpha male in grazing in front." Alan said. Halley can see that the Kirby's wasn't even paying attention to what her father was talking about, but instead, they were looking and searching all over around. Halley could sense that they weren't really fond of dinosaurs at all.
"Mr. Kirby, we have a landing strip. Do you want to put them down?" the pilot said.
Alan, Halley and Billy stopped sightseeing and stared to the pilot who said it. It was a black man and a bald hair man that has a mustache.
"No, no we must circle the island first." Mr. Kirby said.
That time, the three curiously raised there eyebrows, still staring on all of them. Alan got on his feet and tried to go to the Kirby's. Mr. and Mrs. Kirby stood.
"We can land here."
"Yeah, you said that we won't!" Halley almost yelled. She tried to get up and follow her dad, but her skirt got hooked in the side.
"We can not land on this island!" Alan was still arguing with the Kirby's. Billy joined him, while Halley tried to unhook her skirt from the side without tearing it.
"Hold on. I can explain…I can explain." Mr. Kirby said. Trying to hold up Alan.
"WE CANNOT LAND ON THIS ISLAND!"
Halley was still UN hooking her skirt. And for heaven's sake, it got unhooked. But when she got up, there was a loud thud.
"DAD!" she yelled up, seeing her father lying on the floor. The man in black holding a gun, Billy helping her father and the Kirby's ignoring what just happened to her Father.
"What did you do! You foul loathsome evil cockroaches!" she yelled while landing her feet near her dad that was unconscious.
Her eyes were welling up; tears escaped her eyes and landed on her father's brown coat.
"Dad….don't be dead. Please." She said crying.
"Halley, he's not dead." Billy said trying to cheer her up.
"I know! But I know too he's badly hurt. Oh, Billy!"
She cried on Billy's shoulder. Then she felt the plane was zooming down. Her stomach was like being dig up. Then there was aloud thud again, merely saying that they did land.
Oh…they're on the island! I'm getting excited! What could be in store for them? What will happen to their fates?
Eric: what will happen to me? I want to meet Halley too!
Me: You do!
Eric: Of course! I'm reading this too…. Billy said she's really pretty….
Me: oh yeah….I'll try..
Eric: you'll try what?
Me: I'll try to write the next chapter just for you…
Eric: but my scene doesn't come up until I saw Dr. Grant…. Do you mean you'll have Halley…
Me: don't spoil the reader, for heaven's sake! Or else…
Eric: okay…I shut up….
Me: great! Hope to see you next chapter!
