IT HAD BEEN about a month and a half since you first arrived at Jurassic World.

It was a truly beautiful place, and Claire Dearing, your brother's ex, had given you a V.I.P. band. And with Owen working there, you could practically go anywhere, and for free!

Just about every day, you'd visit all of the attractions that still amaze you. Owen even made fun of you for attending the T-rex feeding multiple times.

But you knew you were a dino girl through and through. Galimimus run in your veins, Velociraptors hunt in your heart, a T-rex roars in your ears, and a herd of herbivores live in your belly.

Not saying you're a vegetarian or anything; you just enjoy a nice salad every once in awhile. [ i dont tho XD ]

The sun had just risen and you were already brushing your teeth and styling your beautiful (color) hair.

With an excited smile, you hurried to dress yourself in a (color) tied-up crop top and camo shorts. Throwing on some complementary Converse, you grabbed your binoculars and phone and rushed out of the hotel.

You already had plenty of awesome selfies and pictures with/of the attractions and dinosaurs. But a few more wouldn't hurt, would it?

You travelled through the crowds, a bright grin illuminating your face as you first stopped by the Visitor's Center.

Although you've been there a million times, the sight of the holograms and children digging up plastic fossils still mesmerized you.

That's where you saw Claire and Owen arguing, per usual. You watched Owen storm away before you reached them and you turned quizzically to Claire.

"Just a little dispute," she answered with a sigh, "Anyway, how have you been?"

Despite Claire and Owen's rocky relationship and predicted breakup, you had become close with the redheaded woman.

"Annoying," you flashed her a grin that made her chuckle, "As always."

"Sometimes I feel bad for Owen," Claire shook her head.

An alarm went off, breaking your conversation and making you both jump.

"Oh! I've got a meeting in five minutes! Um, I'll talk to you later, (Y/n)!" Claire called over her shoulder as she hurried away, checking her phone.

You shook your head with an exasperated sigh. Claire was always so busy.

Then your phone buzzed with an unread message from the said redhead.

Claire : Oh and I forgot to mention that my two nephews are coming in a few months

You : Ok 👌

Claire : One is about your age while the other is just a few years younger

You : Ok..?

Claire : I was wondering if you'd want to hangout with them? Zara's assigned to watching them for me

You : Oh, sure, I guess. What's their names?

Claire : Zach and Gray Mitchell. I'll text you on the day they'll arrive

You : Ok

Claire : I've got to go. I'll see you soon, love you (Nickname)!

You : Ok, ttyl and love you 2

You were a little surprised she'd want you to meet her nephews, but you shrugged it off and went back out into the crowds.

You planned on going to watch the T-rex feeding show when you saw Owen talking to a plump man with greying hair. You blended with the crowd and moved closer to listen.

Over the loud chattering of the excited people, the only thing you could make out was something about Owen "training Velociraptors" and about some military project.

This perked your interest and, when Owen and the man departed, you decided to follow.

You followed them until they climbed into a jeep, and then you silently snuck into the back.

You hid underneath a tarp and stayed still while the jeep took you to the unknown destination.

It didn't take a horrendous amount of time, but your limbs were starting to fall asleep by the time the jeep slowed to a stop.

You heard many people working and cautiously lifted the edge of the tarp, peering outside.

A rounded structure with a cage-like building beside it stood before you. Catwalks met above an open, circular area filled with small trees and brush.

As Owen and the man disappeared onto the catwalks, you jumped out of the parked vehicle and snuck towards the strange building.

Following the wall around, you came across a sliding door that you, obviously, opened. It wasn't locked, so you assumed not many people knew of this building, which seemed to be in the middle of a jungle or forest.

You crept in. It looked like some sort of laboratory with white walls and test tubes. You turned in a circle, gaping.

Pictures of Velociraptors and scetches of DNA were scattered about the walls. Diagrams of different reptiles were laid on tables and cages of mutated animals were resting on top of each other.

You cautiously pressed further into the room until you came across another door. This one had a window on it.

You glanced through the window and gasped. Inside the room was a baby reptile you could only identify as a Velociraptor.

It kind of resembled a tiger in appearance. It was a dark orange color with black stripes and a few brown dots stretching across its snout and flanks.

It was tiny, though. It was investigating a small, plastic car that you assumed was a toy for it.

It chirped at the car before jumping onto it, only to slip and fall.

You giggled a little at the adorableness of the creature as it stood and shook out its body, roaring defiantly at it.

Curiosity got the better of you and you slowly crept into the room, closing the door behind you. Nobody could really blame you though; it was absolutely adorable!

When the latch clicked, the Velociraptor turned to look at you with its glowing yellow eyes, head tilted in a questioning manner.

You bit your lip, trying not to fangirl, and sat, crisscrossed [ applesauce XP ]

The thing stepped forward before tilting its head again. You mimicked the expression with a warm smile. It seemed to be taken aback by your reaction and approached you curiously.

You began giggling quietly as you held out your hand, hoping it would take a liking to you.

For a moment, it just stared at your hand. You could imagine the gears turning in its head as it decided what to do. Finally, with a few chirps, it pressed its freckled snout into your palm.

You grinned stupidly; the animal liked you!

Then the door creaked open.

"What do we have here?"

You grimaced and slowly turned to face the man. Your eyes widened when you saw the plump man from before.

"I-I -- " You began.

"Seems like he's taken a liking to you," the man placed a finger on his chin in thought.

You glanced back at the Velociraptor baby to see it climbing into your lap, hissing at the man.

"I-I guess so. But I'm sorry for sneaking in," you returned your attention to him.

"Oh, no need to apologize. Actually, I think you may be a big help. That Velociraptor needs a trainer and Owen already has his hands full with the girls. You should consider training him. What's your name?"

"(Y/n) Grady," you quirked a brow, "And yours?"

"Just call me Hoskins, you happen to be related to Owen Grady?" He asked curiously.

"Yep, he's my big brother," you shrugged.

"Well, then Velociraptor must run in the family, eh? But what do you say about training him?" Hoskins pressed, he seemed to be determined to have you train the baby.

"Well, I'd have to ask Owen.."

"You know he wouldn't let you do it; he's your big brother. It's his job to keep you from living life. This is your choice, (Y/n)." Hoskins replied persuasively.

You thought for a moment before slowly nodding, "You're right. I think I'll train it. What's its name?"

"They call him Foxtrot," Hoskins smiled, "He's from Isla Sorna. We actually didn't create him; they found his egg on the other island and decided to keep him. Not only is he an original, but he's the only male Velociraptor."

"Wow. Well as long as I get to keep this little fella, then I'm in," you turned back to Foxtrot, who was glaring threateningly at Hoskins. "My lil' Fox."
