Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous : Surviving

Brooklyn's POV - Chapter 6

When I saw him my heart jumped out of my chest. There was absolutely no way he could be alive. I mean I saw him fall off a monorail for crying out loud. Yet, I ran to him and hugged him like there was no tomorrow. I may have also broken a few of his ribs.

"Missed you too Brooklyn," he chuckled through a raspy voice. I let go of him and smiled real hard.

Darius was still behind us just staring in disbelief. He hesitated to take a step forward. Distancing myself from Ben, I go to his side and stare at Darius. Ben looked at me, which I then just noticed the long stick he was using, sort of like a cane. My heart sank just a bit. Ben let out a small cough and shifted his sight to the ground. Darius still stood there in shock.

"Ben?" He said slowly, he then smiled.
"Ben!!" he yelled, running towards him and giving him a much gentler but meaningful hug.

"H-ho..-?" Darius began to question.

"I'll explain later I promise, I'm just so tired right now, and my ear is kinda broken," he smiled weakly, but I could tell how worried he was.

Darius looked down at Ben's cane and back to his eyes. We stood for a few seconds in uneasy silence waiting for someone to say the next words.

Darius then opened his arms motioning for a group hug.

"Easy this time Brooklyn," Ben pleaded jokingly.

I giggled and hugged both of them softly and lovingly.

"So...the others?" Ben queried, ending our group hug.

My eyes began to water quickly just by those words. Darius cleared his throat and looked at me. Wiping my tears I averted my eyes to a tree trunk. The thought of losing my friends again, and explaining what happened made me want to drop down on my knees, sob and never ever get up.

"We lost each other," Darius quietly grimaced. He began to play with his dirty shirt, locking eyes with Ben.

Ben twisted his head in confusion. "Lost...Darius what do you mean?"

Darius looked to my direction then looked down. Clearing my throat I moved closer to Darius and looked up at Ben.

"We were chased by something...huge, scary, terrifying, I don't know what or why, but we all got separated."

"We went out to look for Kenji," I sadly added.

Ben opened his mouth with the look of fear on his face.

"Kenji...why?" he stammered.

The look on Ben's face when he said that was enough to break me. I started crying.

"Darius..." Ben said.

"We woke up one morning and he was gone," was all Darius could manage to say.

Tears fell down from Ben's eyes.

"Sammy and Yaz.." he said with his sad, raspy voice.

Darius looked at him with eyes of sadness and fear.

Darius was about to grab our hands as comfort when Ben suddenly dropped.

He was hunched over on the side unconscious.

"BEN!" Darius screamed, dropping to his side.

My small cries turned into a huge sob as I dropped over by Darius putting my hands on Ben's face.

"Help please," I quietly croaked out with tears hiding my vision.
