The Six Campers and The Soldier: A Camp Cretaceous Story (OC fanfiction)

Grudge Match Part 2: Combat

I was breathing heavily. My breath being the only sound heard. I see Kenji look to his side and see the blade of the axe in bedded into the ground, a few inches from his left ear. I stand up, pulling the axe with me. My hand begin quivering and shaking, I almost killed him, for a moment, I wanted too. I drop my axe at my feet and walk away from Kenji and the rest of the group. Subconsciously, I make my way over to the tree that I stated in my story. I fall to my knees in front of the mighty tree and just starting crying. Everything, my dad, being left here, the Indominus, Mitch and Tiff, telling everyone, everything just building up and I can't bear it anymore.

I hear someone walk over to me. I notice the red shoes, Kenji. I don't acknowledge him but he sports a quick forming bruise on his face, that will bruise in the morning. He kneels down beside me and rests his hand on my shoulder. "I'm sorry....truly I am." He says, I go to reply but nothing comes out. He gets up and leaves me with my thoughts. "Can we please give him some space?" O hear Kenji say to the others. I try to fight the pain but it's too much, nothing can change the past and nothing can make the pain any more bearable. Sometimes, I think about what I would change about that day or what I would have done differently. Oh God, I almost killed Kenji because I blame him. He caused it, if he had only listened to me than nothing bad would have happened. But I can't blame him, if it wasn't him, it could have been someone else. I think now, I blame Allison, that crazy bitch of a dino is to blame, nothing else. She took someone I loved away. I stand up with a look of determination and hate on my face. I'll make that dinosaur pay for what she did.

I walk away from the tree back to where my axe is, I pick it up before holstering it. I start to walk back to camp but the others are trying to get my attention but I ignore them. This ends, she dies and my dad can rest. His killer will burn, mark my words.

I arrive back at camp and immediately head to the spare dry trees, these will be great. Allison is a mature Allosaurus. Spears and an a axe aren't going to do much, not if she gets me first. I take one of the larger trucks and crave an outline of a massive bow. Range will be my friend against her. Firing at her legs and feet will bring her down for the killing blow. Cripple her, bring her down, finish. Simple plan. "Ryan what are you doing?" I hear Brooklynn say but I ignore her, no one is going to stop me from doing this. "Answer me goddamn it!" She shouts as I stop working. "I'm going to kill Allison." I say, going back to crave the bow. "Ryan think this through." She tries to reason but I refuse to acknowledge it. "She took everything from me and I'm going to make sure that my father's soul can rest knowing that his killer is punished." I say as I take my stuff and move away from Brooklynn as she stands there shocked.

The bow is craved and now for the string. I've taken some fresh ferns and dried out the leaves. Tying them all together to get my string. I see Darius walk over to me with a sad expression. "Ryan.... Brooklynn told me." He says, I shake my head at what everyone is trying to do. "You all will probably tell me, 'it's gonna be fine.....he will always be with you.' Well I don't want that, I want him here, with me. But we don't get what we want, so I'm going to go out and make myself feel better. One way or another, Darius....that monster is going to pay." I say, putting an end to the conversation as I walk past him. He tries to say something but nothing comes out.

It's been hours and I've made about fifty-sixty arrows. Chipping stones is tedious work but necessary. I see Yaz sit beside me. Great, is she going to try and convince me out of this. "What do you want?" I say with annoyance in my voice. She doesn't say anything. I continue to make arrows. "I don't know what you're going through....but I hope you can let me try to understand." She says to me quietly. I stop what I'm doing at look at her. "You can't....I watched my father die in my arms, a broken spine and ruptured liver. Allison did that......I can't sleep, I close my eyes and all I do is dream and relive that day or its Allison mocking me, saying I'm a failure and that I couldn't save my father and/or I can't protect any of you." I say, I knew that Yaz would be the one to break through my barrier, she and I have that deeper understanding and comfortability compared to the others. She looks at me in worry. "I just want my dad back.....but that's not going to happen so.....I going for the next best thing. Making sure that Allison can't take anyone away from me again." I say as I complete the seventy arrow for my arsenal. I get up and leave Yaz behind as I get ready for the night ahead.
