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

Eye of the Storm

I walk around camp, taking in the sight of the home that we made for ourselves. Somewhere deep down inside, I'm going to miss this place. Even the island as a whole. Even after all the close calls, the painful memories, the dangers from the darkness, the hunters and so on, this place has a special place in my heart, I'm going to miss it. I come back to the main compound after doing a routine check of our camp boarders. ".... I'll be on channel six for emergencies!" I hear Darius says as he climbs down the ladder. "An emergency packing supplies? Broesph, I said I got this." Kenji says from above, a Jurassic World bag in his hand. "You are officially in charge. See ya!" I hear Darius says as he exits the surrounding fence that we scavenge from the ruined watchtower.

I slap my forehead as I see Darius run off into the woods. Out of everyone, he chose Kenji to be in charge of packing supplies. I enter the gate and climb the ladder. "Kenji is in charge. Kenji is in charge. Kenji is in charge." Kenji says in a song voice. "Hey, dumbass!" I shout out which makes Kenji jump in fright. "Oh hey, Ryan, how's it going?" He tries to play off but I look at him with an amused look. Ben walks down from the upper level. "What's going on?" Ben says confusedly. Kenji clears his throat. "I need you to pack.....toilet paper." Ben looks very suspicious. "Toilet paper? Seriously?" Ben asks. "He's got a point. If you're going to shit over the boats railing then I want to at least, wipe my ass when I'm done." I say sarcastically which gets Kenji to nod quickly, agreeing with me. "Alright....I'll go get the toilet paper." Ben says as he slides down the slide. Something is bugging him, might have to ask him later. I look back and see Kenji doing his little dance that he was doing before. "I'm still here, dipshit, quit that dance and help pack." I say which forces Kenji to straighten out. "Yes, of course, let's get it." He says as he smiles weirdly. I stare at him with an unamused look. "Just.....pack." I grit my teeth in frustration.

I see Kenji sit down and contact Darius over the radio. He says that he has done packing and he did it 'flawlessly'. I quietly stand next to him. "Kenji, you actually have to do the stuff I asked for, rather than saying you did to make me proud." Darius says over the radio which causes Kenji to go silent and rigged. He notices me glaring at him from above. "Yes. Loud and clear, talk time is over. 10-4." Kenji says as he looks at me in apology. I snatch the radio out of his hand. "Get to packing before I pack you into a suitcase!" I threaten which Kenji scrambles away, packing everything that he can. I hang the radio on my belt at the back.

I pack the stored beef jerky and canned fruit. I look up and notice Yaz coming back from her run. I slide down the slide to greet her. "How'd it go?" I ask for which she smiles. "Refreshing. Running without the need to worry about dinosaurs nipping at my backside." I laugh at her joke. I notice her look behind me to see Kenji trying to heave a bag out of the rubble. "I thought the designated bathroom area was that way." Yaz sarcastically states as she points off into the jungle. "Haha. I'm in charge of packing essentials for the boat and in going to do the best job anyone's ever seen!" He says as he gives another good tug at the bag. The bag gives way as Kenji is sent flying down to the ground in front of us. "Ha.....you....sure about that?" Yaz laughs as she looks down at Kenji. "Best job? Keep telling yourself that mate, we might start believing it after a while." I say as me and Yaz fist bump.

"Seems just yesterday that you were shirking responsibility, do nothing but the bare minimum." Yaz says as she leans on the railing. "What changed?" I say chuck Kenji his hair gel. "Maybe I'm a new man." He says while puffing his chest. "Need some help, new man?" Yaz asks with a raised eyebrow. "Yes please." Kenji says as he drops his shoulders. I laugh at that. Says the a new man but he does always need help with something. "Ben was supposed to help me but I sent him to get TP like an hour ago." Kenji says which makes my eyes widen. Ben has been gone for a while. "An hour? To get something from the supply boxes that are just over there?" Yaz asks as she looks at me and Kenji. "You don't think something bad happened to him?" Kenji asks quietly. "Oh, on this island. I don't know, it's a possibility!" Yaz says angrily as she jumps down to the ground, me and Kenji follow suit. "Knew I shouldn't have sent him by himself." I whisper to myself as we all dash into the forest.
