Have you ever had that feeling that you wished you didn't get talked into something, but for some reason let yourself get talked into it? Well, that is how I feel as I hang myself over the side a ferry on it's way to Jurassic World.Why am I doing this? Well, I just lost my lunch.

I really hope I don't have to clean that off... I thought to myself as I leaned on the railing, trying not to throw up again. I groaned as I felt my stomach turn itself inside out, you know I can handle a lot of things. But put me on the water and I won't be able to keep anything down. Thanks, mom.

My sister, however, is right behind me chattering about how fun it will be to work on an island full of dinosaurs. That's right the two of us are gonna be working at the one and only Jurassic World. I should really stop talking to-

"Elexa, we are almost there!" My little sister squealed happily, interrupting my train of thought, I don't wanna 'almost' be there, I want to BE there! "Elexa, are you okay?" She asked, oh now she finally she notices.

"Just peachy…" I managed to say before losing what was left in my stomach, I heard her scream but I didn't care I just hope I don't have to pay for cleaning that up…

As soon as we docked I stumbled off that ferry as fast as I could. I don't know if I could get happier as I collapse on a bench and let my stomach settle. I watched as my sister, Dakota ran up with both of our luggage.

"How in Atlantis do you carry that bag?" She panted as she plopped down next to me, completely out of breath.

I laughed slightly, "First of all, I will never get on a boat again, second of all I work out."

"Sorry, I forgot you were bad on boats..." She replied awkwardly, as she looked down.

I let out a sigh, I really felt bad for her. This was the first time in four years that we have actually spent time with each other... and after eight years of being in the service, we were almost strangers…

"It's okay Kota, let's find Ms. Dearing so we can find out where we are staying and so you can check this place out," I told her, trying to cheer her up as I stood up and grabbed my backpack.

Dakota did the same only she had a rolling suitcase. I started walking, after following the signs for the monorail and showing some weirdo security guard our ID cards that showed we were now employees of Jurassic World. We reached the monorail platform.

"Where is she?" Dakota asked as she stood on her toes trying to see over the crowd.

"Don't no, try texting her," I told her as I went to a lamp post and dropped my backpack and climbed up it halfway.

"Elexa, I just got a text." She called out, "it says to look for me in a white business suit?" her tone showed she was confused but I followed the message and spotted a redhead woman wearing a white business suit thing, who wears a white suit in a place like this? I asked myself as I climbed down and grabbed my pack and Kota's arm.

"Found her," I stated as I lead her towards the woman, who I now could see was on the phone.

"Who wears white in a place like this?" I heard Kota mutter.

I chuckled and let her go, "I think that would be our new boss." I replied with a smirk.

The woman's head turned towards us, "I am sorry but I have to go, I think the two new employees are here." She said before hanging up, "Are you the Phoenix's?" She asked, her tone was very strict and the icy glare she was giving me rather uncomfortable.

"Yes, we are," my little sister replied, as she offered her hand for the woman to shake. "I'm Dakota, but most call me Kota."

"Claire Dearing, Jurassic World Operations Manager." Ms. Dearing replied, her tone was a little lighter as she shook Kota's hand, Kota smiled warmly as she let her arm fall to her side before nudging me with it.

"Elexa."

I felt Kota just staring at me, as Ms. Dearing replied in an ice-cold tone, "carnivore trainer, correct?"

"You could say that ma'am."

"Well, that is why we hired you, now follow me." She replied snappily as she turned and walked towards the monorail.

"What was that about?" Kota whispered before we followed Ms. Dearing.

"I wish I knew." I muttered back, "but for some reason our boss hates me."

"Well, that is rather obvious." She hissed as we boarded the monorail, Ms. Dearing motioned us to two seats that were labeled as reserved. Not wanting the woman to hate me more, I did as told. Dakota sat down beside me as Ms. Dearing sat across from us.

After a few minutes, the monorail powered on and took off, the kids in the car ran to the front as a woman started speaking through the speaker, most likely a recording. I blocked her out as we neared the giant doors that opened up to reveal Jurassic World and all its glory.

Beside me, Kota gasped in awe at the sight of the truly amazing park, I couldn't help but let a smile creep upon my face. I couldn't believe I was actually going to work here. I only wish my decision wasn't because of what happened. I sighed sadly as a memory past through my mind, I wouldn't think about that not now. Not ever.

I watched as the monorail stopped. Kota and I both stood up and grabbed our bags. Ms. Dearing stood up as well and motioned us to follow her. We followed her out and through the crowd, my hand started to move to my hip as images of people running, gunshots, and blood filled my mind.

I shook my head to try to rid myself of those images... those memories…

"Elexa snap out of it!" someone shouted making my body jolt back into reality, I shook my head and looked at Dakota who was waving her hand in front of my face. "Come on, we're at the hotel!" She said excitedly.

I looked around only to see that Ms. Dearing was gone and we were standing in the lobby of a very nice hotel. "Oh." is all I could say as before she grabbed my arm and dragged me to an elevator and pressed a button.

"I can't wait to see our room! Oh, this is your room key." She said as she handed me a card, I simply nodded and waited for the elevator to stop.

Once we reached the room our jaws dropped, it was huge, had two king size beds and a big balcony that looked over the park. I went out to the balcony as Dakota went to see how big the bathroom was.

I looked in awe of the huge park, I could see a lot of the attractions from here. But I knew it was bigger than what meets the eye. I heard Dakota screaming about the huge bathroom and how she would never want to leave.

I sighed, Dakota was actually gonna stay in the park due to her job being a tour guide for the T-Rex Kingdom. I on the other hand was gonna be in one of the parks restricted areas, researching T-Rex behavior and seeing if I can train one... somewhat, at least.

When Dakota started talking about giving me a makeover, my eyes went wide. I bolted out the door and ran to the elevator as fast as possible, lucky for me it was open. I slipped in and press the down button.

I spent hours exploring the park, all the enclosured and sights amazed me beyond belief. I knew it would be great, but the feeling you have when you first see a live dinosaur… It's like when I was a kid and I pet my first tiger. It's simply… not simple at all, but it is truly amazing.

The impact of something hard sent me out of my own world and into the real one, I felt myself falling. Having no time to react I shut my eyes and braced for impact. But the impact never happened, instead I felt a pair of arms…

"Sorry miss, I didn't see you coming." A male voice said, I slowly opened my eyes. At first I thought I was seeing Carson… but then I realized my mind was just playing tricks on me as another mans face came into view.

"It's okay," I choked out, the man smiled. Somebody cleared their throat and I realized that I was staring and that I was sorta hanging in mid air, and that the man was standing over me. The guy seemed to notice this as well because he quickly helped me to my feet and took two steps back.

"See man, told you that you would have the ladies falling for you." A man with a French accent commented as he slapped the other man's back.

A blush crept onto my face as I looked down and started to back away from the men.

"Come on Barry, your embarrassing the little lady." The guy said, "Sorry miss, I'm Owen Grady."

"Elexa Phoenix," I muttered, "I have to go…" I said before running off.
