*Hailey's P.O.V*

I have to admit, deciding to steal Uncle Owen's bike was actually a pretty good idea. If I hadn't, I'd probably be miserable just lounging around in his bungalow bored out of my mind. I wouldn't be lounging beneath a shady tree in the valley watching all of these beautiful dinosaurs roam about as if they were really in their natural habitat. The gyrosphere ride is in this area, I watched all of the vacationers roam around in those big giant hamster balls as they gawked at the humongous creatures around them. But for the most part, I just sat there with my sketchbook and drew what was around me. I had already completed a sketch of a , and right now I was working on my sketch of a . I honestly wouldn't have known its name if it wasn't for Gray giving me that dinosaur lesson on the plane. I sighed to myself at the slightest thought of the two brothers. I wonder what they were up to. If Gray was having fun or if Zach was still being an asshole. Part of me wishes that our goodbye wasn't right there at the beginning of the park, that maybe I could've hung out with them a little more. I looked down at my phone that was sitting on top of my bag. I had Zach's number...I could just call or text and ask where in the park they're at and then somehow sneak in. I shook the idea out of my head, it was stupid. Why would Zach want to hang out with me anyway. I mean, I know Gray would...but I doubt Zach would let him just wander off with me, even if prior events prove otherwise. I looked back down at my sketchbook to keep drawing when I heard my phone beep. I set my pencil down and picked it up, to see that I had one text, two missed calls and a voicemail from Uncle Owen. I felt my heart drop for a second, he probably knew that I wasn't at the bungalow and I was going to be in a shit ton of trouble.

Stay inside, don't wander anywhere. It's urgent. I'll be back soon.















Okay, so he wasn't at the bungalow and he hasn't discovered that I left the sacred space. I wonder what could be so urgent that he called me twice. I went to my voicemail and pressed on his message, bringing the phone to my ear. "Hailey listen to me. There is a dinosaur on the loose right now. I don't know where it is, but I need you to stay in the house. This thing is dangerous Hailey, please stay safe."

This time, I felt my heart drop for more than a few seconds. There was a dangerous dinosaur on the loose, I had no idea where it was...and I was in wide open territory. I looked over at the gyrosphere ride to see that there was a big commotion going on and all of the gyrospheres were returning back to the docking area. I quickly packed up all of my stuff, stuffing it into my backpack and tossing it into the back storage compartment on his bike. I needed to get back to the bungalow, quickly. I moved the motorcycle from beside the tree and got on it, starting it up. I looked over into the direction I came, which was on the main road. What if the dinosaur was that way? I'd be in even bigger trouble. I looked to my left to see that there was an open gate with a sign on it that said the area beyond the fence was restricted. I bit the inside of my cheek, trying to figure out which direction to go. I took a deep breath and went towards the gate, I hope this would get me back faster. There were so many trees, I honestly don't know how I haven't ran into a branch yet. I kept myself low against the bike, just in case there were any lowset branches. I could see that I hadn't gotten that deep into the forest, cause there was still a sight of the valley. I looked up suddenly and saw two ankylosaurus's ahead of me. "Holy shit-" I took a sharp left and lost my balance on the bike, falling off onto the ground...but the bike skept skidding along until it came to a stop just outside of the forest. I stood up and brushed off my clothes, mentally cursing myself for probably fucking up Uncle Owen's bike. I walk towards the bike when I hear loud noises that sounded like thunder...but it wasn't supposed to rain. I could feel my body freeze when the thought set in that it was the runaway dinosaur. My feet started to act faster than my braid could work and the next thing I knew, I was running away from where the motorcycle dropped.
