1 Year after Fallen Kingdom:

Unknown P.O.V: Near Austin, Texas

The drive along the freeway was tense. Little Markus in the back was whimpering quietly while his daddy......Mark was driving with a scowl on his face. I was on the passenger seat was I applying some makeup to my bruised eye........I did something bad, I deserved it, now to hide it before he punishes me again. "You have been applying that shit for the past hour, what are you doing?" He says with gritted teeth as I apply the last of the makeup. "I had to apply in a way that wasn't obvious.......I'm sorry." I say quietly as I look down at the floor. "Fucking look at me when I talk to you!" He shouts as I jump at his tone, Little Markus started bawling his eyes out as the yelling.

I whimper as he grabs my cheeks and neck and pulls me close. "Don't you ever fucking disrespect me again......got it?" He says with venom and I nod quickly. "Good.....now deal with that kid." He says as throws me back. I whimper as I undo my seatbelt and get in the back of the run down car. "It's ok, baby. Mummy's here." I say quietly to him as he starts to quieten.....as this happens, I hear a rumbling sound. Little Markus points outside his window and I see in the distance, a large dust cloud forming with odd shapes forming within the cloud. "Mark, honey?" I say as he growls. "What, woman?" He grits out as I point. "What's that?" I say he looks behind and sees my finger pointing. He turns back and sees the cloud. "The fuck." He says quietly as he pulls over to the side of the road and stops the car.

We get out of the car as the shapes walk out of the dust cloud and head towards the road. I see that it's a herd of dinosaurs. "Wow." I say as the animals continue on their way. Their large horns are scary but the large frill on their head makes them look beautiful in that......scary kind of way. "Fucking hell, they're going to block the road. Get in the car!" Mark shouts which breaks me from my stupor. I get in, so does mark and he starts the car. He beeps the horn to hurry them up but the animals roar in aggravation. Mark continues to beep the horn. "Come on, get the fuck out of the way, you fucking lizards!" He shouts as he holds the horn down for a few seconds. A loud growl is heard from our left and we see a particularly large dinosaur walking up to us l, swinging it's massive head and horns. "Babe....stop that!" I shout but he backhands me across the face. "Shut the fuck up!" He shouts as he beeps the horn again. The animal growls and charges us. "Oh shit." I say as I get Little Markus and get him out of his baby seat and pull him to my side of the car, covering him while also putting my seatbelt on. A loud bang is heard as the car is sent flying across the road as myself and mark are screaming in terror.

I come too after a minute to see that has been flipped over. I'm hanging by the seatbelt as I hold Little Markus close to me. "Mark.....honey? Can you here me?" I call out but no one replies. I see Mark hanging on the roof of the car that is facing down. I can see his swallow breathing. I hold Little Markus close as I unbuckle my seatbelt. I land on the roof with a clang and groan at the sharp pain on my back. I see in a reflection that I've taken a few scraps and bruises but is nothing compared to what every Tuesday is like. "Deb?" Mark calls quietly out to me as I force the door open and climb out of the wreck. "Deb.....what are you doing?" He calls out again but I ignore him. "Come back here! Deborah!" He shouts back I continue on walking, holding Little Markus close to me.

I look to my right to see the massive animal that charged into us. I back away slowly as the massive dinosaur snorts and starts to walk away. A sigh of relief leaves my body but something brings it right back in.

RRROOOAAARRR!!!

A loud roar echos across the countryside as a loud thumping is heard. I quickly run and hide behind a large rock. I look over and see the large dinosaur roar in warning at something approaching. I look over and see an even bigger dinosaur walk up. Only this one Jason two legs and had a mouth full of teeth. Large dexterous forearms with three claws and a row spines running down its back. The teeth and claws tell me that this thing is a carnivore as my breathing becomes haggered. Little Markus has started crying over the loud roar from earlier. "It's ok, Mummy's here. It's ok, baby. Mummy's here." I say lovingly to him as I kiss the top of his head. I here a loud growl and look over and see the predator gnawing down on one of the massive horns of the other animal. The horned one is bucking about to break the hold and it does just that before charging forward and scrapping the underbelly of the large predator with one of its horns. The carnivore cries out in pain and backs away from the horned dinosaur. The horned one gives a loud roar as the predator backs off. The horned one and it's herd continues on its way as the carnivore watches them go by.

While this happening, I notice Mark, still trying to get out of the wrecked car. The noise alerts the predator who begins sniffling the air. It walks over to the car and I inspects it. It's this time that I gather my courage head off into the distance to get away from the scene behind. The screaming or terror and frustrated growls fills my ears as I continue on my way from the road.

Sometime later:

I had been walking for a while. The sun was hammering down on me and I didn't think that I could go any further. I had found another road and followed it, hoping that a car would pass by and stop or a town with a phone would show up but none were in sight. I had almost collapsed from exhaustion until I saw a pickup truck heading towards me. I wave it down. "Hey.....over here!" I shout out with what energy I had left. The truck pulls over to my side of the road. The truck stops and a woman, late teens or early 20s, jumps out of the truck. "You ok, ma'am." She asks as I shake my head. "No.....do you have water or a phone?" I ask as she heads back into he truck. She comes back with a unopened bottle of water and a cellphone. "Some water and a phone......do you need anything else. What happened to you?" She asks as she inspects Little Markus who is asleep from exhaustion. "Thank you.......Me and my.......partner were driving when those......dinosaurs showed up. The ones with three horns." I say as I dial my mother's number, she lives in Austin and we are not that far away.

"Yeah, Triceratops. It's migrating season so you caught the worst time to see them." The woman says. "There was also a.....I don't know.....a carnivore. It was huge with spikes running down its back." I say as the woman frowns. "A Chardon.....strange.....never seen one of them around here. Must be following the herd." She says as I my mother answers. "Hey mum........I'm ok, we just had an accident......dinosaurs on the freeway....... I don't know where mark is.......I'm using a lady's phone, she stopped and helped us.....her name? What's your name?" I ask the lady as she smiles. "Oh.......Sammy.........Sammy Gutierrez."
