Chain Reaction||| A Jurassic World Story

Ch.1

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Annabeth's POV

My eyes flutter open softly. The sun hits my face through my light colored curtains. I sit up in bed and stretch. My hair is a big old mess, as usual. Then, the smell of fresh pancakes hit me. My older brother, Owen, walks in with a tray of pancakes. On the center piece, there was a blue striped candle.

"Happy birthday, booger!" Owen cheers, as he sets the tray on his sister's lap.

"Oh you shouldn't ha-" I got interrupted by my brother singing at the top of his lungs.

"Happy birthday to you! You look like a monkey..." he pauses to take a breath, "AND YOU SMELL LIKE ONE TOO!!"

"How touching..." I joked. I ate my pancakes with a smile on my face.

Today, obviously, was my birthday. My 17th. For 5 years, I have lived on an island called Ilsa Sorna with my brother. Not only is it just an ordinary island... this one had dinosaurs. My brother and I work with 4 raptors- Blue, Charlie, Delta, and Echo. When I was 11, my mother was passed away- and my father never really got over her death. My brother went to the navy for a year, and I was stuck with only a weeping father. Shortly after, my brother came home, he got the job for Jurassic World. I tagged along. My father hasn't contacted us in awhile, and he probably never will. He also wouldn't let me keep anything of my mother's, only a watch. When I turned 14, I was allowed to work with the raptors. Or, at least the youngest one- Delta. She's my favorite.

"Annabeth!" Owen yelled through our thin walls.

"Yeah?"

"It's time for work!!"

I grunted and pulled on a grey tank top, shorts, combat boots, and my mother's watch.

"Coming!"

I jumped down the stairs to find my brother standing by the doorway.

"C'mon, oldie," he winked.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny, Mr.23 year old," I teased.

"Oh whatever," he rolled his eyes.

"Jeez, you're rolling your eyes now, Owen. What, are you turning into your girlfriend?" I smirked.

"She's not my girlfriend, Annabeth."

I gave him the 'I-know-you-like-her' look.

"Fine fine fine. She's not my girlfriend... yet."

"Don't worry, bro. You'll have her as Mrs.Grady someday," I patted him on the back as I walked out the door. He sighed and shook his head.

We walk outside, as speak of the future-sister-in-law.

"Is something wrong?" My brother blurts out, since Claire never comes to our bungalow.

"Erm, no. I just need to talk to Annabeth."

Oh, shoot. What did I do now?"

"Whatever they say I did, I didn't."

"No, no, you didn't do anything wrong," she scrunched up her face, "I hope. But at the moment, I just need to ask you a huge favor."

"Okay..."

"My nephews are coming-"

"Woah you actually have family," I interrupted. She glared at me, and continued her unfinished sentence.

"My nephews are coming in for a visit, and I need a tour guide."

"Wouldn't you just do it?"

"I, unfortunately, need to work. But since I'm your boss, I could easily give you days off... And maybe a little raise. If you did this for me." She pleaded.

"So, I'm a babysitter."

She dismissed my question,
"So will you do it?"

"Fine... when?"

"Today, at 3:00. Thank you so much, Annabeth. Oh yeah, and happy birthday," she smiled. She turned around and walked towards her car. She called back out to me, "Meet them at the docks, please! Their names are Zach and Gray!"

I nodded and looked towards my brother, who was totally checking Claire out. I shook my head and walked towards the motorcycle.

"Owen, c'mon. We can't be late to work..." Then I mumbled, "again."

"One more second..." Owen watched Claire until she drove off.

"You're too desperate," I laughed.

He shrugged, "she loves me."

"Mmhmm... sureeeee."

•••

"Hold! Hey!" Owen yells as he clicks the clicker.

"Okay! Eyes on us!" The raptors turned their heads at the sound of our voices.

"Blue? Blue! Watch it."

"Charlie. Hey!" I banged the reiling at the feisty raptor.

"Don't give us that shit!" Owen yelled.

"Delta! Lock it up! Good!" I said to my best girl.

"And we're moving! Hold! That's good. That is damn good." my brother cheered.

"Very good! See, Charlie, that's what you get!"

"Echo, there you go!"

"Delta!" I through a dead rat down to the raptor.

"Blue? This one's for you. Hold! Eyes up!" He yelled, he turned to me and nodded. I gave the final demand.

"Go." I cheered.

"You finally did it, man." Hoskins smirked as he walked up to us.
I was starting to think I hired the wrong guys, but, damn, you got them eating out of your palm."

"You came on a good day.
It's not usually a happy ending." Owen sighed.

"Is that why you're not
sending in your reports?"

"We've been busy."

I walked to the other side of the level and saw the new guy, Sam. He approached me and smirked.

"Hey, baby," he put his hands on my hips.

"Get the hell off me," I struggled. He went to kiss me, and I flung him off of me. He was about to fall into the raptor paddock, when he grabbed my arm... and we both went tumbling in.

"Annabeth!!"
