Disclaimer: I don't own Jurassic Park, and I certainly don't make money by writing this story!

Summary: A few days ago I watched Jurassic Park again in the TV (I think they broadcast it in every 1-2 year). I really love the first movie, and soon I checked out the second and third part too, and even they weren't as good as the first, I got an idea, actually many ideas about it. So I started to look after fanfictions, and was surprised to see how many there are in this topic. Now I decided to write my own, hopefully you will like it.

So about the plot: the main character is Aurora Black, a university PhD student, who is invited to Isla Nublar as a specialist. Taking care of the velociraptors while dealing with other human's irresponsible decisions, she soon forms a bond with the raptors, and get even closer to them after they get free. The main line of the story will follow the first movie's, but it is from Aurora's point of view. But I don't want to ruin all the fun, so read it, and please review it!.

Chapter 1 -Introductions

Barely 200 km from the coast of Costa Rica, there is an island called Isla Nublar. With its beautiful rainforests it is truly a sight, however it was not this tropical Eden that called me here, but a new and entirely groundbreaking scientific development, that made it possible to dinosaurs inhabit Earth once more.

I met John Hammond at a conference held by the University of Michigan. I was a PhD student at the university, specialised in animal behaviour. So I was giving a lecture about my recent research, after when this guy came over to me and told just how fascinated he was about my results in the field. He was really enthusiastic, and soon our conversation turned in a different way. He told me that he himself has a 'little' project, that could take my interest, and he would love to tell me more in a less crowded place.

So I joined him for a cup of coffee in a local bar (which was in my opinion just as crowded), and he told me about his project that involved a more than a million year old dead mosquito, DNA and dinosaurs. Okay, at this point I think many people would start laughing and call it April's Fool, but …

- 'So Mr. Hammond, you are trying to tell me, that in the last five years you set up a 'kind of biological' preserve? Like a zoo? And just where? –I asked

'Oh, I own an island, near Costa Rica. And believe me my dear, it's a really spectacular zoo, as you said. I wanted to create a Park, where you can see the animals in their natural habitat, and made it accessible for everyone. And there is no doubt our attractions will drive the kids out of their minds.' –Hammond said it all with a large smile on his face. I couldn't really decide if he was an overgrown child, or a damn genius businessman with too idealistic dreams.

'I see. And what kind of animals are we talking about?'

'Oh, that's the really interesting part. You see, the researches I funded was to study fossils and DNA, dinosaurs DNA to be more specific. And …'

'Wait, wait a minute, I'm sorry Mr. Hammond, but I am working with living animals you know, I don't see how it concerns me'

'Oh I can assure you, they are very alive my dear. And please call me John' –at this he sipped from his cup, just for the dramatic effect I think and waited for me to ask the obvious.

'All right, John. So, you are telling me that you have dinosaurs in your island, who are just more than old bones? I really don't know what to say, are you serious? –I tried to look at him like I really didn't think he was crazy, but I think I failed. Even though it didn't bother him at all.

'Oh, I have a great idea, why don't you just come and see it yourself? The Park isn't open for public yet, I have to get the support of some well-known scientists first, and permissions from lawyers and such, but our team could really use someone like you! Of course I pay for everything!' –he waved his hand like he was trying to get rid of an annoying fly.

'But why me?'

'Because of your excellent researches in animal behaviour, especially pack hunters, and because I like you. I can tell instantly about people, it's like a gift.' –he smiled even wider –'And I know you would connect with these animals, get to know them in a deeper level. Think what an opportunity it is, you would be the first who could study these creatures in real life.'

'Well this sounds really promising, but...' –I tried to say

'So, excellent, we arranged everything' –And with that he suddenly stood up, put some money on the table and walked to the door. Before stepping out however he turned and called out for me lazily –'The plane is departing at 2 pm sharp, bring some warm clothes, it can get rainy there. Good bye'

And he was gone. I sit there for several more minutes thinking. Actually at this point I lost all my mental capabilities, and I just stared out of the window. I decided I liked the man, he reminded me of a kind grandfather, or if he really has dinos, than Santa, but I had nothing to lose. So I stood up to go back to the college, and pack my luggage.

THE NEXT DAY

I was late as usual. I hopped out of my taxi, and started running with my oversized bag to the airport. I caught it just in time. Hammond was waiting for me by the plane.

'Good Ms. Black, you are finally here! Come my dear, I tell you about the details during the flight.' –he welcomed me.

'Good Afternoon Mr. Hammond. Oh thanks' –I said when he helped me settle in one of the seats. It was a smaller private plane, and only ten other passengers were there.

'So ready for your special adventure?' –he asked

'As ready as I can' –I tried to smile. I really didn't know what to think just yet.

'Good, now after we get to Costa Rica, a private helicopter will get us to the island. I want you to meet the staff first. The main exhibition route are already settled, but we would like to see how the new population settles down. There are some problems still need to be solved, it seems the carnivorous species are harder to control, but no worry, security comes first! Now why don't you read this brochure, it might give you some insight about what we are working on.'

I took the little book, and browse through it. It told about the general tour the visitors could see, the structure of the Park, and the animals that I was just about to meet. I was surprised to see how many different species they made.

'You have T-Rex? And Raptors? I mean, wow! –and now I was really excited.

'Yes' –he smiled, apparently he liked my enthusiasm- 'Those two are one of the main attractions, everyone know T-Rex, and now everyone will be able to get close to them and see how they lived once.'

'John, I am no expert in palaeontology, but the few things I learned during collage is that these animals are not meant to be toys for kids. Don't misunderstand me, this whole thing is amazing, but I do have my concerns'

'Just as everyone else. As I said I want experts who can help us with the population. And we have the newest secure system along with the best IT specialists who can manage the whole Park from the control room.'

I didn't respond to this. My thoughts were in a chaotic roller coaster, and I wanted to see the whole place before I made up my mind. The journey was a long one. After we arrived and took the helicopter I felt really tired. However just as we reached the coast of Isla Nublar, every sleepiness left me. The view was fascinating, I've never seen such a beautiful place like this before. The whole island was coated with a rich forest and waterfalls. Nature is truly magnificent.

After landing a jeep came to get us. John introduced me to Robert Muldoon, who was apparently taking care of the velociraptors.

'Robert, this lovely lady is from the biology department at the University of Michigan. I think you will find her experiences very helpful.' –said Hammond.

Robert and I talked during the whole ride. I was really interested in what he got to know about these creatures, and I couldn't wait to see them myself.

'This is not like the zoology lectures you took at the university. We barely know anything about these animals. It was just recently found that they are not even cold blooded, but can hold their temperatures, and they do actually live in herds.' Robert said it like I was a five year old. Oh duh, man and their pride. They can't take when a woman is smarter than them.

'Don't worry Mr. Muldoon, just because I am still a student at the university doesn't meant I don't know what I am dealing with.'

Our argument was stopped, when the jeep suddenly reached a clearing. My eyes became the size of an orange, there, just by a large tree stood a brontosaurus, apparently eating from said tree. I could feel the earth shaking under my foot as he took a step. It was unbelievable.

'You really like dramatic entrances don't you John?' –I asked Hammond, who just smiled at us. Yes he did!

'Now my dear, you can see more when we arrive the basement. Robert hurry up, I want to get there before dark' –and with that we continued our ride. Half an hour later we reached the main building, it was evidently for the visitors. The entrance was decorated with dinosaurs, and in the main hall a huge T-Rex skeleton welcomed us along with a banner, that said:

'JURASSIC PARK. WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH'


And that's it. I mean the first chapter. Hope you liked it. In the next one the actual adventure will begin, and we finally meet the dinos.
