We sat there for what felt like hours. Just staring at them. These creatures were supposed to be dead. The only things about them that remained were bones and fossils but here I was, looking at a creature that has been dead for 150 million years or more. This shouldn't be possible.

"I know this is quite a surprise for you all but I must insist that we get moving. You'll be more impressed by the other specimens we have here. We spared no expense," John stated, hurrying us along with an impatient smile.

I got up, still staring up at the magnificent creature. I reached my hand out to Alan to help him up, eyes still trained on the animal. He took it gratefully.

I backed up slowly, still in awe and almost fell onto the jeep. Someone managed to catch me before I made impact though.

"Whoa, be careful there, uh, Lyanna," I could hear the laugh in his voice. I looked up at him, still in his hold. He grinned down at me and licked his lips. My gaze travelled to the motion and he seemed to sense that which, in turn, made him smile wider, if that were possible. His eyes flickered to my lips and I self consciously bit them. He closed his eyes for a second and then reopened them, his gaze felt like fire wherever it touched.

"Everybody let's go, go, go," John said, clapping his hands a few times.

I then realised what this must look like to our company and I shot out of his hold. What was I thinking? Ian Malcolm? The rock star playboy?

I blushed crimson and darted around him to get in the jeep. Once seated I drew the collar of my leather jacket up so that my cheeks were covered and I sunk down in my seat, trying to hide my embarrassment.

I heard Ian laugh and that made me blush deeper.

I heard him lean forward and suddenly his voice was in my ear, making me shudder.

"Don't be embarrassed, miss Lyanna," I could practically hear the smirk in his voice and I shivered. The way he said my name, deep and smooth gave me goosebumps.

Alan then suddenly got in the car and surprised the both of us.

"That was..." he trailed off, looking straight ahead.

"Amazing?" I suggested, looking over my shoulder at him. I didn't miss the look that Ian sent me though, I just chose to ignore it.

The jeeps then suddenly roared to life yet again and we sat in silence for a while, wondering what else they had on this island.

"It's only a matter of, uh, time until this whole attraction falls apart. You-you know that, uh, right?" Ian asked, leaning forward again so that he could talk to me.

"Why's that?" I asked, looking at him in the rearview mirror.

"Chaos Theory," he winked, leaning back and chewing his gum loudly. I just shook my head.

We spent the rest of the ride in silence, save a few questions from Ian here and there.

I almost didn't notice when the jeep pulled to the side of the road and turned off.

I bit my lip and looked up at the large building in front of us. The large white building was still obviously being completed as there were builders still milling about. Setting things up and painting and what not.

The roof was made to look like a safari hut with the hay making a pointed cone.

John ushered us up the stairs and through the doorway. The first things I saw were two large skeletons and a banner above them that read, "WHEN DINOSAURS RULED THE EARTH."
