Clarissa Hammond

Chapter Two

Clarissa's POV

My father requested that I head back with him before Alan and Ellie head out to the jet to meet up with us. "Dearest Clarissa. I firmly believe that this will be a revolutionary change in theme parks." I smiled at him, "I have faith in you, father. I believe you have done it. Your enthusiasm is stupendous!" My father smiled as we got in the helicopter, waiting for the rest of our visitors, "That's more faith than what the bloodsucking lawyer has in me." 

After a little bit, Alan and Ellie got in the helicopter along with two other men. The one dressed in all black sat beside me and gave me a firtatious smile, as the one in a suit sat beside him. The man put a piece of gum in his mouth, "So you three dig up dinosaurs?" Alan smiled as he fittled with the raptor claw, "We try to." 

The man laughed and my father looked at Ellie and Alan, "You'll have to get used to Dr. Malcolm. He suffers from a deplorable excess of personality, especially for a mathematician." Dad gazed out the window and I laughed behind my hand as Dr. Malcolm shot back, "Chaotician. Chaotician, actually. John doesn't subscribe to chaos, particularly what it says about his science project." My father groaned, "Ian, you've never been able to sufficiently explain your concerns-" 

Ian Malcolm interrupted him and looked at me then at my father, "Because of the behavior of the system in phase space?" Dad looked done with him, "A load, if I may say so, of fashionable number crunching. Don't." Dad smacked Ian's hand as Ian tried to touch his knee. 

I continued to laugh as my head rested against the window. Dad looked at me, 
"Don't encourage him!" Ian looked me, "Dr. Hammond, you've heard of Chaos Theory?" I calmed my giggles down and nodded, "I have." Ian smiled, "Non-linear equations?" I smiled and nodded, "I have." 

Ian nodded and smirked, "Strange attractors?" Dad snapped his head over to him and pointed, "No funny business with my daughter." I rolled my eyes, "Dad, it's just Chaos." Dad nodded, "Couldn't agree more." Ellie laughed as Alan chuckled and Ian smiled at me. 

Dad pointed at his lawyer, "I bring scientists. You bring a rockstar," He then smiled and pointed out the window, "There it is." I smiled as I looked and was amazed by the mountains.

We started to land and my father smiled, "Bad wind shears. We have to drop pretty fast. Hold on, this will be thrilling." I laughed as Dad looked at Ellie and Alan, "Yahoo." I laughed as the lawyer was nervous and Alan tied two seatbelts together. I didn't buckle up, not really phased by the drop and amusingly watched as Dad tried to help Alan. 

I smiled as we got out and got into the jeeps that were waiting for us. Ellie, Alan, Ian and I got into one. Kinda squished in the back and Dad tried to get me away from Ian, but Ellie wanted me to be with them. Alan and I looked at each other confused on why there was a guarded fence, gate and a sign that stated, "10,000 Volts". 

We drove down a dirt road and Ian set a hand on my knee and I looked at him in amusement as he pretended to not look my way. We drove through a meadow and I looked to my left and my jaw dropped. I reached over Ian and started smacking Alan who yelped and looked the way I was pointing. 

Alan and I stood up in the jeep and Alan turned Ellie's head as she wasn't paying attention. I smiled and got out of the jeep, slowly walking towards the dinosaur. My father called out to me, "Dearest Clarissa. Don't get too excited." Alan stood beside me and pointed like a child, "It's...It's a dinosaur." Ellie smiled and nodded, grabbing my arm as I kept staring at it, "Ya-huh." 

I walked closer to it, "We could tear up the rule book on cold-bloodedness, Alan. It doesn't apply! They're wrong. This is a warm-blooded creature." Ellie laughed at my excitement as Alan looked up at the dino, "This thing doesn't live in a swamp. It's got a twenty-five, twenty-seven-foot neck?" 

My father stood behind us, "The Brachiosaurus. Thirty." I turned around and set my hands on his shoulders, "Father. How fast are they?" Alan turned around quickly with excitement as my father smiled, "Well, we clocked the T-Rex at thirty-two miles an hour." I smiled wider and Alan practically gasped for breath, "You said you've got a T-Rex?" Father smiled and cupped my cheeks, "Darling. We have a T-Rex." 

I squealed in excitement and hugged him tightly as Ellie patted Alan's back, trying to get him to calm his excitement, "Put your head in between your knees." My father smiled at all of us and walked a little bit away, "Dr. Grant, my dear Dr. Sattler, and Dearest Clarissa, welcome to Jurrasic Park."

We all turned around to see where he was and I gasped in amazement, seeing the creation in front of me. I sat beside Alan and he looked at me, "They're moving in herds. They do move in herds!" My father crouched beside us and I whispered, "Father, how did you do this?"

 Dad whispered back, "I'll show you."
