Author's Note: Heavily inspired by the story 'The Point of No Return' by Araceil and 'Point of No Return' by Monsters-Need-Love-Too on . Also inspired by 'Up Close And Personal' by Sheila_Snow on AO3.

Author's Note 2: Because it has always bugged me, I will be addressing the fact that in JP the Velociraptor is described as being roughly 9 ft long and 5 ft high. Which is very wrong. Actual velociraptors were about 6.8 ft long and 1.6 ft tall. The Velociraptor in the movie more like a hybrid of the Utahraptor, which is as long as 23 ft and as tall as 7 ft, and Deinonychus, which was roughly 11 ft long and roughly 3 ft tall.

Author's Note 3: This part (the prologue) is content from the first movie. It is not copied from the script, I simply watched the movie and wrote up the scene in my own words. What the characters say, is what they say in the movie. That I did not alter. If this bothers you, grow up. All fanfiction is essentially copyright infringement. Everything after is written by myself but will still have content from the other movies, as it would be basically impossible to write in the fandom without using some content from the movie. So if all you want to do is complain, please leave now & don't force your opinion on anyone else who happens to be enjoying the story. Flames will be deleted!

Summery: Tossed overboard, Harry is forced to find his way to safety. Only safety, it turns out, is even more dangerous than the open ocean.

Prologue

1992; Isla Nublar, Costa Rica

His heart pounding through his chest Alan spun around as best he could in the confined space of the air ducts. For a heart stopping moment he thought that he had failed to protect the two kids that he hadn't even wanted to sit in a car with just a day ago. Lex was screaming, barely clinging to the edges of the duct, her body hanging over the floor below them where an angry raptor was struggling to get onto its feet. They barely managed to swing her body up and into the duct as the raptor leapt, its jaws snapping closed only a hares breadth away from Lex's ankle.

Shoving her towards Ellie, Alan cried out in as stern a voice as he could manage when all that was going through his mind was to run. Run fast. Run hard. Just get away.

"Move." Alan shoved Ellie in behind Lex and twisted back to grab at Tim, who was staring wide-eyed at the spot where he had almost lost his sister. "Tim, let's go!"

Tim's eyes were too wide, pupils dilated, his pulse visibly throbbing in his neck as the terror of their situation drove even deeper into his mind. Tim didn't say a word, his gaze darting wildly between the opening his sister and Ellie had gone through and back to the gaping whole Lex had dropped through only moments before.

"Move," Alan commanded with only a slight ring of fear, pushing Tim along.

They moved as quickly through the maze like ducts as they could, Alan constantly checking on them all, his heart in his throat waiting for another raptor to jump at the flimsy paneling beneath their knees. He had no idea if they were going the right way. Or if there even was a right way. Stopping in another wide junction he glanced at Ellie, silently asking for her help. She looked almost as shook up as the kids, sheer force of will and perhaps her maternal instincts, the only thing keeping her from losing herself to the complete terror their situation deserved.

Drawing in a shaky breath she nodded and let Alan move past her and Lex to glance through the other corridors that stretched out before them. They all looked the same. Gray, dusty and leading to certain death. Swallowing back the bile that kept trying to rise up his throat Alan started off down the closest corridor, not bothering to look back, knowing that Ellie would take up the rear.

It was perhaps only seconds, maybe even minutes, but as they worked through the cramped corridors it felt like days were stretching out around them. Days of corridors, close calls and death waiting in the bloody maws of animals that ceased to exist long before his species was even a twinkle in the eye of the cosmos. All he could think was what if they didn't get out of here? What if Hammond and the others left without them? What if the others were killed before they could call the helicopters? What then? How would they survive here for the days, weeks, months…years it would take for someone to come looking for them? Had Ellie or he even let their grad students know where they were going?

His muscles trembled with fatigue and the adrenaline rushing through his system. Before him lay a dead end. Silently cursing he crawled forward hoping to find an alternative way before the kids could realize he led them down the wrong path.

Luck was with him though. There ahead he could see a light shinning in the darkness. Reaching the end he saw a heavy metal grate, and below it the main lobby. Carefully, and as quietly as possible, he lifted the grate up ad set it aside. Leaning forward he glanced down into the room. Below him was the hanging work stations of the decorators that had been assembling the large dinosaur bones.

They had a way down!

Nervously he dropped down onto the first platform. Darting his gaze around the room, he turned to look back up waving the rest of them down. They had made it to this point without any more signs of the raptors and he prayed to whatever God might be listening that they would make it that last few feet down and out of the building. The wide open space of the lawn was hardly safety, but it gave them a better chance of spotting an attacking raptor even if they couldn't outrun it.

The shrill, warbling cry of the raptor echoed around them, all of them turning instinctively to look behind them.

A raptor!

The beast leaned its body towards them, its mouth wide open, flashing its long dagger-like fangs. For a moment the world froze around him as he locked eyes with the creature that had been hunting them like they were wounded gazelle. It was a cold, angry intelligence burning in those terrible golden eyes. And Alan would call any man a liar who could say he had locked gazes with a raptor and not soiled himself even a bit.

Not giving himself a chance to think, Alan turned his back on a predator that could have very easily evolved into the dominant sentient life form of Earth if not for the ill luck of a series of unfortunate events. Jumping onto the bones only feet away, he didn't give himself the luxury of wondering if they would be able to support his weight, let alone the combined weight of Ellie, Lex and Tim. They trembled beneath him but did not give way. Letting out a shaking breath he spared a glance at the kids, clinging desperately to the bones beside him.

The raptor cried out and leapt at them, it's sickle-shaped claw stretching out towards them.

Lex and Tim screamed as the bones gave way, the steal cables the only thing keeping them from crashing to the ground. He saw Ellie slip on the bones until she was hanging from the underside of the tail, and when he glanced back to the front he had to choke back a cry as he realized the raptor was on the other side of the ribs from Tim and him. Straining to keep a hold of Tim, Alan desperately looked around the room, Muldoon's words from earlier the day before echoing in his head. They were cleaver creatures. They remembered. They hunted as a pack. Where one was, two others would be close behind.

Still the other two raptors weren't here yet and the bones weren't going to support Tim, him and a raptor for much longer. Giving Tim as strong and determined a look as he could, he lowered his arm that Tim was clinging to. "Let go."

Tim glanced down at the floor and relaxed his grip, his trust in Alan to protect him staggering the older man momentarily.

Ellie screamed as the horrifying groan of the support structure began to give way. Below him Tim was looking up at them, his eyes going wide as plaster poured down on him. Lex and Ellie screamed as the steal cable holding up the neck and tail bones gave way, dropping them to the marble floor below. Now it was just Alan and the raptor hanging in the air, the two of them recognizing the precarious position they were in, in the same heartbeat that the supporting cable finally gave way, dropping them and the heavy ribcage to the floor below.

Alan shook his head and groaned, only to freeze as that nightmarish cry filled the room as the raptor who had crashed down with him stood. Glancing at Tim who was crawling out from under the shattered rib cage, Alan turned to see Ellie, his precious Ellie, on her hands and knees staring at yet another dinosaur, still partially hidden behind the plastic tarps that dotted the room.

The new raptor warbled a shrill call to its pack mate, stepping daintily into the room, head bobbing like so many birds Alan had watched before on far more pleasant occasions, but with a far more dangerous intelligence. He did not know if he could ever look at a bird again without some part of him freezing up in fear.

The second raptor snorted as it came closer, its eyes never once leaving them. Once again pushing aside the fear that was eating away at him, Alan grabbed Tim, dragging him the rest of the way out of the ruined bones. Lex screamed running up beside him as they moved further into the center of the room, Ellie scooting back towards them even as she watched the other approaching raptor.

They were penned in between the two raptors.

Sweat was pouring down his spine and all his hair was standing on end as every ounce of his being focused itself on his approaching demise in a way he had never before faced. Not even the desert flash flood he had faced as a fresh-faced college intern on his first dig inspired such a primordial fear response in him.

Lex and Tim clung tightly to his back, Ellie pressed up behind them as the raptor on their right advanced closer and closer, pushing them back towards her partner.

Heart pounding in his chest, Alan's eyes went wide as the raptor lunged only to be snapped up in the crushing jaws of the massive T-Rex. They could only stair in wonder as they were suddenly saved by the miraculous appearance of the king of dinosaurs.

Darting back around the leg bones of the T-Rex skeleton, they watched as the T-Rex shook its massive jaws, crunching down on the raptor. It gave a fearful cry for help to its pack mate even as the last of it's life slipped away, it's limp body dropping to the floor. The other raptor let out an enraged cry, charging towards the T-Rex in a kamikaze move. The T-rex reared up on it's back legs, twisting as much as it could to try and reach the raptor that had landed on it's shoulder. It snapped its jaws and growled, desperately trying to twist itself around enough to pulled off the smaller predator.

Not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, Alan grabbed the kids and ran towards the door, Ellie hot on his heels. Behind them the enraged roars continued even as the rushing sound of a quickly approaching jeep reached his ears like a chorus from heaven.

A wide smile splitting his face, Alan raced toward the jeep where John Hammond and Ian Malcolm were waiting, their own pale faces showing their all too obvious relief at the sight of the battered foursome.

"Mr. Hammond," Alan called out. "After careful consideration I have decided not to endorse your park."

Alan jumped in, carefully avoiding Malcolm's bloody leg. Beside him Ellie was practically tossing the kids into the back seat even as she was leaping into the vehicle as well.

"So have I," Hammond stated with a more serious tone than Alan could have given the man credit for.
