Camp Cretaceous: Nature Boy (Brooklynn x OC)

Family Matters or War (Non-canon)

The campers huddled in front of the whiteboard in the tree house, awaiting Darius and Brooklynn to walk over to join them and give news on Hunters condition.

Only Darius walked over.

Kenji stuttered out, "I-is he ok?" Kenji was holding his arms together.

Darius had a relieved look in his eye, "He's ok, he just had a small concussion," Darius gulped, "still a major injury but he's dealt with worse, hasn't he?"

"Oh yeah, bleeding from you're skull is not that big of a deal." Yaz commented sarcastically.

"I'm guessing Hunter told you guys something about himself?" Ben asked, arms crossed and still muddier than a pig.

"Surprisingly, this is one of the most minor injuries of his." Sammy told Ben.

Ben tried imagining what could be a major injury for Hunter, and he then immediately regretted it. "That's really horrible."

"Well, from what he's told us-there is: Anaconda attacks, Smacked by a Tiger, crushed by a Polar bear, mauled by a leopard, some jellyfish stings, bitten by various venomous snakes, attacked by a Cassowary, tried calming a Bison, tried defending himself from a moose, existed near a Wolverine and a Honey badger, almost lost his foot to a Hyena, too many bites to be counted as lucky from crocodiles & alligators, hit off a cliff by some type of goat, almost been fish food to sharks, Tasmanian Devil encounter, porcupine quills, wrestled multiple kangaroos, a lot of attacks from wild animals in Africa, being near primates, chased down by police dogs-Honestly, how isn't this dude dead?" Kenji asked.

The other campers stare at him in shock, shocked that Kenji remember most of the injuries Hunter has told them about. That is also when it dawned on all the campers, that this boy, is almost like a walking corpse.

"He's been through so much, how can he handle that much in his life?" Sammy squeaked.

The campers tried thinking on it, but that didn't do much. They tried imagining swapping themselves in Hunters place, but they couldn't handle it. They tried remembering his past actions and what he has told them throughout the two months they have spent together, Ben only remembered the first week or so as he had fallen from the train.

Then, they all thought of the same possibility.

Is Hunter trying to prove himself?

Prove that he is not weak, prove that he is "Nature Boy", prove to someone that he can save everyone?

They'll have to ask him when he wakes up, the only question for now is; when exactly is he gonna wake up?

Brooklynn has been sitting by Hunters side the entire time, she's been by his side the whole way back to camp. She was extremely worried and had Darius tell the others about his condition, just so she can keep her eye on him.

Hunters breathing had repeated the same pattern for awhile now, his relaxed face made her want to smile but the state that he is in has outweighed her smile.

Brooklynn intertwined her hand with his and used her other hand to brush some of his hair off his face, she rubbed small circles with her thumb on his hand and sighed.

"Hunter, I know you can't hear me at this moment, but I'm thankful for everything you have done for us."

She glanced at his face, hoping to find him awake.

"You're a fighter, you fought for our survival countless times and seeing you like this makes me feel guilty." Brooklynn almost trembled.

"So just wake up right now, please...please, Hunter."
