Blossoms On An Island

Chapter 4

Isla Sorna --- Landing Strip

"Dr. Grant? Can you hear me? Alan?"

Slowly, Alan opens his eyes. He notices Raina and Billy by his legs while the rest of the crew are nowhere to be seen. He blinks a couple of times and bit by bit gets up.

"Billy, Raina, tell me we didn't land." The couple look at each other and then at Alan. By now, Alan knows the answer.

"Eric? Eric?" Amanda's amplified voice can be heard from the inside of the plane. "Ben? Eric?"

"I think they're looking for someone." Billy guesses. Alan gets up and the three descend down the plane. Amanda keeps on repeating the two names, hoping that someone will respond back to her.

Paul comes up to them, "Oh, Dr. Grant, are you alright? I'm so sorry we had to be so..."
"Who hit me?" Alan interrupts Paul.

"That would be Cooper." Paul points out to Cooper, who walks towards the jungle with a big gun in his hand.

"What are they doing?"

"They're setting up a perimeter to make the place safe. These guys are good."

"Mr. Kirby, trust me. On this island, there is no such thing as safe. We have to get back on that plane." Alan tries to explain the danger behind them landing. Raina and Billy look around the area, standing behind Alan. Amanda continues to shout the two names, despair can be heard in her voice. Alan getting irritated by Amanda's screaming on the bullhorn and scared of consequences tells Paul, "Will you tell your wife to stop making that noise? That is a very, very bad idea."

Paul turns to look at Amanda and yells, "Amanda! Amanda? Honey? Dr. Grant said that's a bad idea"

Amanda turns around and looks at Paul. She yells through the bullhorn, "What?"

"He says it's a bad idea!"

"What's a bad idea?" As soon as she asks that, everyone hears an angry roar from the jungle. Raina gasps, making Billy move closer to her. Everyone looks towards the jungle.

"What was that?" Paul asks.

"That's a tyrannosaurus." Billy guesses, half excited and half alarmed. Then, we hear a couple of gunshots.

"I don't think so. It sounds bigger," says Alan.

Nash and Udesky come running out of the jungle, heading for the plane. "We have to leave! We have to leave now!" Paul starts to question, however seeing he is being ignored, complies and gets inside the plane. Everyone starts following in and scrambles to a seat.

"What about the other guy?" Billy questions.

"Cooper's a professional. He can handle himself." Udesky urges them inside the plane. Then, a second roar can be heard, following another round of gunshots.

Raina sits down terrified and has no clue on what's going on. Billy sits across from her, this time, and she feels Billy's hand grab hers and she tightens her hold.

Nash revs the engine and turns the plane around. He accelerates the vehicle as he goes down the runway. However, a couple hundred yards ahead, Cooper comes out of the jungle, waving his hand. It seems his other arm is injured due to being limp by his side.

Alan points out, "That's Cooper." However, Nash doesn't seem to care because he continues to accelerate the plan.

"He has no intention to stop," Raina mumbles to herself.

As the plane moves closer and closer to Cooper, out of nowhere, a gigantic dinosaur grabs Cooper in its massive jaw, coming onto the runway. Raina looks away, not being able to see Cooper get devoured and is basically clenching on to Billy's hand. Nash pulls back on the stick and the plane rises up. Blood could be seen on the windshield. Soon, the plane starts to descend, just as it had started to move, and it crashes through the trees. The plane starts to rumble and everyone bounces along. Raina let go of Billy's hand so she could brace herself, by grabbing on to the seat in front of her. She closes her eyes.
