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

Whatever It Takes

The helicopters had told us again to head to the dock. Something about this seems off. Why so many helicopters? "Yes, yes, yes! We're saved!" Kenji says as he races up the ladder. I run towards the bridge to cut him off. I stand in front of him as I block off his access. "What are you doing Ryan? Turn the boat around." He says to me but I shake my head. "This doesn't feel right." I say as the others come up onto the upper deck. "What do you mean? They are here to rescue us." Kenji says but I shake my head again. "You believed that Mitch and Tiff were here to rescue us and look how that turned out. We have to think this through. I'll turn the boat around to see who they are and what they're doing here but I'm going to take their word with a grain of salt." I say which seems to get through to Kenji. "Besides, the sea is getting rough, we can wait." I say which the others nod. I go in and turn the boat around the dock. I reserve it in so we don't have to waste time turning it around if we need it again.

Brooklynn hops off the boat and ties the boat to an anchor head. Meanwhile the rest of us look up at the helicopter as it's lands not far from the dock. We come up to the landing zone and see a man with Kevlar and a standard assault rifle. We gaze at each other as we walk slowly to the man. I see that the pilot is a woman and I can just hear that she is surprised to see us. I come to the realization that they are not here for us. "What are you kids doing out here?" The man says as Ben gets on board. "Long story." Kenji simply answers as he gets on. "Too long." Sammy follows after. I pull Yaz and Darius back. "Something is not right about this. If they were here to rescue than why are they so surprised?" I question which makes Darius and Yaz ponder. Thudding can be felt though the Earth. The man has a scared expression, I walk up and pull Brooklynn away from him just as the source of the thudding makes her presence.

RRRRROOOOOAAAAARRRRR!!!!

Rexy had shown herself from the tree line. The mighty Tyrannosaur staring down the chopper. She gives off another roar as the pilot panics and starts to fly off. Rexy grabs hold of the choppers landing gear and swings her head around. The chopper proving to be too strong and a bother, the Rex lets go and watches as the chopper flies away. Me, Yaz, Darius and Brooklynn backed off as the man ran in front and tried to call back the chopper, forgetting about the 8 ton carnivore behind him. The man cowered under Rexy, the Rex had simply bent down and gobbled him up. The sound of bones crunching evident in the air.

RRROOOAAARRR!!!

Rexy roared in victory as the chopper left. "Run!" I said. Don't want to be around here any longer. We start to run but Rexy's roar alerts us to the fact that she wants us now. We run through the tall grass, shrubbery and trees to escape the massive predator. I run ahead and slide underneath a large log as the others jump over. The Rex just steps on it and breaks. That's intimidating. We swerve and try to hide from her. Darius finds a thick tree and hides behind it. Brooklynn hides underneath a rock while Yaz and I find cover under a turned over log. I pull Yaz close and hold her. I hear the sniffing of the Rex's nose as I just see its teeth out of the corner of my eye. Rexy's shadow moves away but I don't hear nor feel her footsteps. I suddenly hear creaking and see the log being picked up. Yaz starts breathing heavy as Rexy throws the log away. The three of us have a long stare down before I get up and start running over the rocks pulling Yaz alongside.

Rexy follows after us. We come to a steep bank and slip down into the empty ravine. Yaz topples down on top of me as I hit the ground hard. Running on pure adrenaline, we race to a large log that is sitting across the ravine. We climb up and steadily pace ourselves across. Rexy had followed and is carefully trying to get across. A thud from her foot onto he log sends us slipping down onto a large root. Rexy is closing in on us when we lose our grip and is sent back down into the ravine. We tumble and land hard on the wet rock. A shadow crests over us as Rexy stares at us with hunger. She goes to lunge but a rock hits her face. She is open mouthed like 'did someone actually hit me?'. Another rock hits her as she growls in anger as she looks and sees Brooklynn and Darius. "This was a horrible idea." I hear Darius say as Rexy charges the duo.
