The hatch was dark and crowded. It was also hot. The heat radiating off all of us was almost unbearable in the small space. We had all began to sweat heavily.

I was at the front of the group. I had no idea where I was going but I assumed it was the right way and with no map or anything there wasn't much I could do to help that.

A few minutes later I came upon a grate. Through the bars I could see the skeleton replicas from the front lobby. The platforms were still there.

I opened the grate and jumped through, landing on the metal stair-like platforms that were used for the constitution workers to build the life-sized things.

Alan followed me and helped the others out while I moved down one to make room for the others.

We moved quickly, helping the person behind us down as we went. Once we were down one or two platforms, I saw in my peripheral vision the raptor that has attacked me twice now. Its eyes narrowed on me.

It screeched, catching everyone's attention and forcing us to look at it. I heard Lex squeal.

It flexed its claws and opened its jaws. We didn't stop to watch it for long though as we kept moving, coming to the last platform.

I jumped out onto the T-Rex skeleton's spine, stomach lurching as it rippled under my grip.

The five of us were on the skeleton when the raptor jumped. The replica broke into several pieces, each piece held up by the string connecting the skeleton to the roof.

Ellie, who was on the tail piece screamed as it spinned, knocking her upside down.

I was on the body part of the skeleton, as was Alan and Tim. We all huffed as we tried to get a good grip on our moving skeletal platform.

Lex was on top of the neck, which was also spinning uncontrollably.

Alan gripped onto Tim's hand and told him to let go.

"Go Tim! Jump!"

He fell to the floor safely. I sighed momentarily. Then I noticed the strings break from where they were connected to the roof. Lex fell, still clinging to the neck.

It came to an abrupt halt about three feet from the ground and she fell from the force of the sudden drop.

Like dominos, Ellie fell too, only a second after Lex. Then her skeleton section broke to pieces on top of her.

I felt the piece that Alan and I were on drop slightly. The string was breaking.

What felt like a millisecond later, Alan and I dropped. I was still gripping to the replica bone but Alan had lost his grip and landed on the hard floor.

Our section fell and Tim screamed. He was under it! It landed on top of the boy and I screamed out his name.

The skeleton had only landed on the rock behind Tim, saving his life.

All of us stood, terror and adrenaline flooding our systems as we noticed the Velociraptor behind the plastic curtain.

It croaked as it came through the curtain, seeing Lex as it's first target. She screamed and rushed backwards.

It jumped onto the rock that the skeletons had been standing on. It screeched at us and moved forward. I stumbled over some spinal vertebrae in my haste to get away from it.

I then noticed the other raptor. It snapped at the other one. It was again, the same raptor that had attacked me. I realised that she must be the alpha. The leader.

She crouched down, hands ready to swipe, mouth open and tongue flicking.

I reached around and pulled Tim behind my back. We moved back as it stalked forward, head cocking to the side and tongue flicking in it's jaws. This the end. After all of this, this was going to be how I died.

I put my arm out as it jumped. I felt excruciating pain in my arm and I screamed, falling to my knees.

"Lyanna!" Lex screamed.

I opened my eyes to see the deadly eyes of the raptor narrowing on my face as it chewed down, making blood pour from the wound.

Suddenly the pressure was gone but the pain remained. I looked up and saw the raptor in the jaws of the Tyrannosaur, my blood dripping from the raptor's teeth onto the ground around me. A spec or two landed on my forehead and I flinched.

I didn't have time to look at my arm. Instead, I rushed to Alan and the group and hid behind the rock with them.

The other raptor, enraged at the death of her alpha, charged the Rex. I gasped as she jumped on it's back and attempted to take it down.

I shoved Ellie, who was in front of me despite the pain it caused in my arm.

The five of us ran under the T-Rex's head, the shadow of the two fighting prehistoric creatures displayed on the walls beside us.

We ran through the front doors, the impact of the wood against the wall outside booming into the afternoon air.

It would have been a lovely day today if dinosaurs hadn't ruined it by attacking and killing everyone. The sky was a pale blue and there wasn't a cloud in sight. I wish I had time to admire it but you know... almost dying and whatnot.

We sprinted down the steps, Tim in Ellie's arms.

A gas powered jeep screeched down the road. Ian and John were inside, Ian's leg propped up on the windshield.

Upon seeing my arm his expression darkened even more. The five us jumped into the car.

Alan in the front and Ellie, Tim, Lex and I in the back. Lex climbed over Ian and sat there while Tim was placed on Ellie's lap.

"After careful consideration, I've decided not to endorse your park," Alan said, sitting properly and looking back to the doors of the Visitors Centre.

"So have I," John responded, looking straight ahead. The poor man. He'd worked so hard for this. Although, yes, he should have known better, I couldn't blame him for knowing the extent of what would happen.

The jeep lurched into gear and zoomed down the road. As we drove away, I heard the triumphant roar of the T-Rex.

John topped the cars speed limit, driving as fast as he could.

"The helicopter should be here!" He yelled over the loud engine. No one replied.

"Uh, what happened?" Ian asked, looking at my arm.

I also looked down at it. What I saw there was a surprise. There was a tooth lodged into my skin.

I gripped onto it and pulled, wincing and biting my lip from the pain. That raptor got me good.

"Just a scratch," I laughed painfully as the bone came out of my arm. Blood started to trail down from the wound.

Ian looked extremely alarmed. Now both of my arms were wounded and my forehead probably needed stitches.

I looked up at Ian.

"How's your leg?" I asked, concern trickling into my voice.

"Could, uh, could be better. What happened to you-you guys in there?" He asked, searching my eyes for answers.

"It's a long story Romeo," I sighed, looking to the front of the car.

We were nearing the helipad and I could almost cry with relief.

The car jerked to a stop a minute later and John hopped out, walking stick in hand.

I helped Ian out and after Alan, Ellie and the kids had gotten onto the helicopter, I got Alan to help me lift Ian into the craft and into a seat.

He groaned with relief and turned to look at me as I sat down beside him, closing my eyes from the instant lift of pressure.

Alan got out to get John after seeing that he was standing by the edge of the pad, looking at his expensively beautiful creation one last time.

John got into the back as well and sat on the end of the same seat Ian and I were on.

We closed the door and got settled as the helicopter lifted off the ground.

Ian looked out the window at the quickly disappearing island.

Hammond looked sadly at his walking stick with the amber piece at the helm and Ellie watched Alan and the kids sleep while leaning into each other.

We were safe now. We never had to see that island ever again.

"Hey Ian?" I asked, looking beside me to the man.

He hummed in response, head leaning against the window.

"What's going to happen now? I mean, I've got the dig in Montana and you live," I paused. "Wherever it is you live," he turned to face me, confusion evident in his expression.

"After all of this you, uh, you still want to dig up dinosaurs? Even after everything that's happened this weekend?" He asked, looking into my eyes.

"Even after everything that's happened this weekend," I confirmed confidently.

"Well, I don't know," he answered my earlier question, brow furrowed in thought.

"I guess we'll, uh, we'll just have to see."

We fell into a blissful silence, the first, it felt like, for the longest time. I leant my head onto his shoulder, listening to his even breathing.

I smiled, thinking of the endless possibilities for us. Us. Its a concept that I would never have thought would happen at the start of the weekend and while the last forty-eight hours had been filled with blood, terror, hopelessness and death, I couldn't help but realise that if none of that had happened, we wouldn't be together now.

And you know what they say... every cloud has a silver lining. This is ours.
