Chapter 1: Sad beginning
In a dark cold December night there was little four in half American/Italian girl was coloring on a piece of paper in the carpet near the fire. She has dark brown hair and blue eyes, slightly tan skin; wearing pink nightgown and a silver whistle attached to her neck. Her name was Valentina Rosalina Grady and she was waiting for her parents to come from work. This is no ordinary little girl. She is different from the rest of the kids in her street. She has unbelievable powers. Ever since she was born, strange things happen. Animals from shape and sizes would come near her and tried to make her smile or laugh. And when she was in the backyard, flowers and plants would grow. It was really strange but her parents accepted her gift but they must keep it a secret. So her parents decided to keep her homeschooled so the kids in her school won't be scared at her.
Speaking of her parents, they are really good people. Her dad is name Oscar Grady. He has light brown hair and adventurous blue eyes. He used to be a Navy but he retired to become a collage history teacher. He loves to teach others to learn but during his free time. He would play with his baby girl and make her smile while teaching her how to do combat to control her powers even though she's small she's a fast learner. She smart for a little girl but her curiosity gets the better of her and would get into a little trouble. Her mom is name Alma. She is beautiful Italian woman. She has dark brown hair and warm brown eyes. She is a doctor and is very kind to her patients. Every man wanted to marry her but she chooses Oscar because he was very funny and smart man. Valentina loves her parents with all her heart and soul and would stay by their side no matter what except when she has to go to the bathroom.
Then a teenage girl with blond hair and chocolate brown eyes; wearing a red sweater, brown pants and cowboy boots, about age of eighteen, came out from the kitchen. "Val, it's almost past yer bed time." She said in a sweet western accent.
Val looks at her almost pleadingly, "Awww… but Abby, can I stay up fow five mowe minutes? Mommy and Daddy pwomise to wead me a bed time stowy."
The girl name Abby smiles at her, "Alright but remember yer ma and pa ain't gonna like it to see their little baby girl still awake and energetic."
Val smiles brightly, "Thanks Abby! You'we the best babysittew evew!"
Abby's real name is Abigail Starious; she lives down the block with her big brother, Joshua or Josh, close to Valentina's. She and her brother moved from their family ranch to study in the big city to be doctors. Abby works as a full time babysitter for Valentina also a waitress in a cafe and her brother Joshua work as a mechanic, for cars. They know about Valentina's power and would keep it a secret because they took a liking to her.
"Ah shucks, yer making me blush." Abby smiled then she notices Valentina's drawing, "Watcha drawing there Val?"
Val shows Abby a red long neck animal with a crocked drawing of a tree. "It's a Ba-wo-sau-wus." She said trying to say the name correctly. Its correct name is Barosaurus.
"Is it a dinosaur?" Abby asked playfully, knowing the answer. Val loves dinosaurs so much that she has stuff dinosaur toys in her bed room. She always dream of meeting one in Jurassic World but her parents were busy with their jobs so they didn't have time to go there. Not that she's complaining but Val understands her parents and would listen to them always.
"Uh-huh, they awe pwant eatews and they awe weally big!" Val said with a big and bright smile.
"Wow! I bet they can reach the tallest of all trees!" Abby said playfully.
Val nodded, "Yup! But they have to stand on theiw back wegs."
Abby smiles before going to kitchen to make some hot coco. Val went up to the sofa and looks at the window to wait for her parents. Val waited and waited and waited but her parents didn't come home yet. She fell asleep when the clock strikes nine. Abby became worried. Why didn't Mr. and Mrs. Grady come home yet? Abby picks up Val and puts her to bed. She looks at her phone and sends an e-mail to Mr. Grady.
Mr. Grady, it's me Abby. I was wonderin' why ya aren't home yet with Mrs. Grady. If ya'll have an extra shift in yer work, I'll watch Val till tomorrow.
-Abby
Abby went to the couch and fell asleep as she waited for the text of Oscar. On the next day, Abby woke up and prepared breakfast. It was pancakes for breakfast. She heard little footsteps coming down the stairs. She turns and smiles to see Val holding her stuff honey colored raptor doll named Honey.
"Mornin' Val," Abby gives Val her breakfast. Val sits down and yawns before eating her breakfast. Abby opens the mini TV on top of the counter and let Val watch Disney Junior. Then the news man appeared.
"I interrupt this program for this breaking new. Two married couples were killed on a car accident when a truck hit them last night. Police discovered the truck driver was drunk. The two married couples did not survive the crash."
Abby froze in fear. "Oh God! Please don't tell me!"
"The married couples have IDs and their names are Oscar Grady and Alma Grady. The drunken driver was survived and his sentenced will be in soon after he recovers."
Abby's eyes widen in horror. Mr. and Mrs. Grady are dead! She looks at Val and her heart broke at the sight. Val's eyes were wide as she broke out in tears. Abby comforts Val gently, she and Val will have to visit to police station to inform about Mr. and Mrs. Grady have a four in a half year old daughter and retrieve their bodies to be buried. The funeral started early morning. It was cold and the snow fall down at them slowly. Val was wearing a black dress and shoes. She was in a graveyard with men and women that were friends with her parents. Abby was there by her side, wearing a black dress and her brother Josh, who has green eyes and blonde hair, was wearing a black clothes as well. Val placed a red rose on her mother and father's coffins as they were buried Val puts her picture in the middle, on her parents' grave, so they can see it in heaven above.
After she did she went to Abby and Josh and started crying, Abby and Josh comforted her sadness. As the funeral was over everyone went home. Val was staying with Abby and Josh for a while until they can find any relatives of Val. But the problem is, no one knows who the closes family of Val was.
Val was sitting on a coach wearing her black dress. She has a red scarf that belongs to her mother; her whistle was buried in it, and her father's black beanie hat. She has dry tear stains in her eyes as she looks at a picture of her with her parents. Watching her is Abby and Josh; they both felt pity over her.
"Is there any news 'bout her relatives?" Josh asked.
Abby shook her head, "Not yet, I'm still lookin'."
Josh sighs, he looks at Valentina sadly. Val wipes her tears away. "We can't just stand here and do nothin'." He looks at Abby, "We have to find her a family or at least part of her family. Do you remember if Mr. and Mrs. Grady havin' relatives?"
Abby taps her chin with her index finger before snapping, "That's it! I remember seeing a picture of Mr. Grady with his brother. I think his name was Owen and he works at Jurassic World."
Josh smiles, "That's great! Do you know his number?"
Abby shook her head, "No but I bet Oscar has his number on his phone."
Josh nodded and the two went upstairs in Valentina's temporally room and went to her father's things and grabbed his cell phone before looking for Owen Grady.
"Let's see," Abby looks at the names inside the phone. "Here it is." Abby found the name Owen Grady and she calls him.
In the Isla of Nublar, a man with green eyes and light brown, hair wearing a blue shirt, with a black vest full of pockets, brown pants and shoes. He was in his bungalow fixing his motorbike. Then a black man came. "Owen! Still enjoying your afternoon?" he asked with a strong African/French accent.
Owen wipes out a sweat from his forehead, "Yeah, taking a break from the girls, Barry." He throws his wrench in a toolbox.
Then Owen's cell phone rang. He picks it up to see a picture of a man with brown hair and blue eye. "Oscar? Huh, it's been long since I seen him."
"How long you haven't seen him?" Barry asked.
Owen counted his fingers, "I think about sixteen years."
Barry rolled his eyes at him as Owen answered his phone, "Hey Oscar! It's been long time since we spoke."
"Ah…howdy," Abby's voice answered, "Is this Owen Grady?"
"Yeah this is Owen and who are you and how the hell do you know my name and also how did you get my brother's phone?"
"I'm Abigail Starious." She answered, "I know yer brother because I and my brother, Joshua, lived down the blocks close to his house."
"Uh-huh, yeah and why are you calling in me using my brother's phone?" Owen asked.
"Didn't anyone tell you?" Abby asked.
"Tell me what?"
"Owen, your brother Oscar and his wife died in a car accident."
Owen froze, his phone was still in his ear and his mouth was hanging open and his eyes were wide as dinner plates, "When did this happen?"
"A week ago," Abby said, "Look, I know we just met but yer brother has a little four in a half little girl, who needs a family and yer the closes family she's got."
Owen didn't say anything. He and Oscar use to work at the Navy together until Oscar retired to be a history teacher in a university college and married an Italian woman name Alma. He and Oscar rarely talk due to the fact they were very busy in work but now his big brother was dead along with his wife and now his niece, that he didn't know he had, was now an orphan.
"What's her name?" Owen asked, wanting know his niece's name.
"Her name is Valentina Rosalina." Abby said, "So are you going to take care of her? She's a very sweet girl and well behaves."
Owen thought about it. He is the only family left for his niece and he did took care of raptors, how hard can it be?, "Alright, I'll send her a ferry ticket next week to bring her here in the Isla Nublar."
Owen could hear Abby and Josh cheering happily, "Thank you! Josh and I are gonna get her a past port. She is goin' to be so happy!"
"Alright and thanks for the information." Owen said as he turns off his cell phone.
"What was that all about?" Barry asked.
Owen looks at him before saying, "Oscar and his wife Alma died in a car accident." Barry's eyes widen, "And I have a niece, that I didn't know I had, name Valentina Rosalina." Owen looks at Barry, "I'm the only family member she has left."
Barry's mouth was hanging open in shock, "Owen, you're going to raise a little girl that you barely know while working with Raptors?"
Owen shrugs, "Hey, I raised the girls and I'm still alive." He said, "How hard it is taking care of a little girl?"
Barry was about to answer but Owen quickly raised his right hand and said blankly. "Don't say it."
Barry chuckles, "And how are you going to get a ferry ticket?"
"Easy, I'll asked Claire to give me or that doesn't work I could ask Simon Masrani." Owen looks at him, "But first can you help me buy the things that little girls like." Barry rolled his eyes but he decided to help because that little girl might not survive here. Barry and Owen went to the park to buy stuff for Val.
Meanwhile, Abby and Josh told Val everything. Val was shock, happy, and worried. Shock that she has an uncle that she didn't know she have, happy that she has an uncle and she wasn't alone and yet worried that her uncle might not like her. Abby helped Val pack her things like clothes, some toys, her Mandora Lute and her pink Ocarina. Val likes to play music. Her mom would teach her during her free time.
Josh bought Val a past port. They were lucky because Oscar used to work in the Navy. Owen was able to make Claire to give him a ticket for Val after hearing the event and send it next week. After a few weeks, Josh was driving his car with Abby in the front seat. Valentina was wearing a red t-shirt with gray long sleeves, brown combat pant and orange shoes. She has mother's red scarf and her father's black beanie hat on. Her dark hair was tied into pigtails. As Josh parks the car, they went inside and saying their goodbyes to Val.
Abby was hugging little Val, "Bye sweet pea, I'm gonna miss you so much."
"I'll miss you too." Valentina said letting go of the hug then hugs Josh. "Bye, Josh."
Josh hugs her back as he lets go he took out a small red box with a ribbon, "Yer Pa wanted to give ya this on yer birthday but since he can't I was wonderin' if ya wanted yer birthday gift a little early."
Val took the box and opens it to revile a raptor claw fossil necklace. Val smiles and she puts it own. She loves raptors, they're her favorite dinosaurs. "Thanks Josh."
Josh smiles until the airport voice speaker's announce, "Ladies and Gentlemen the plane will leave in twenty minutes."
"Well, go on, ya don't wanna be late." Abby said with a smile.
"Yeah, yer gonna see many dinosaurs there." Josh then added, "And if somethin' cashes you...run." He whispers the last part, making Val alarmed.
"Josh!" Abby scolded.
Josh chuckles, "I'm just kiddin'. Jurassic World has tight security ain't nothing gonna hurt ya."
Val nodded and went in line while she waves at Abby and Josh. Val sits near the window and puts her seatbelt on when the airplane took off. Val looks at the clouds in the sky. She took out the raptor necklace and holds it tight. "Please, please, please, please like me." Val whispers before going to sleep.
