Camp Cretaceous: Apex Predator

S2: EP 4 - Salvation

3rd Person Pov.

The campers took off towards the distant campfire of hope, they were so excited that they didn't notice how tired they were while running the whole way there, while (Y/N) is still on guard.

They only stopped occasionally to climb a tree and point in the right direction.

(Y/N) is now fully alert, as they grabbed unwanted attention to themselves. He sees silhouettes of something in the trees stalking them.

Eventually, Darius climbed to the top to search for the fire, only to find darkness of the night splashing onto the trees. He jumped down, glancing at them in worry.

"The campfire, it's gone!" Darius exclaimed, that had diminished the campers hope for salvation. Sammy seemed to lay out the question everyone was asking themselves.

"What if... They left, What if the people who came to save us gave up and we missed our chance?" Sammy started to tear up. Maurice comforted her while (Y/N) is glaring into the trees, as the campers grew silent, glancing at each other for answers or reassurance.

"It's fine everything is going to be fine." Kenji mutters to himself.

(Y/N) shushed him and motioned Maurice to be on guard there's something around, that hope turned into fear as (Y/N) and Maurice equiped their weapons, when they heard a roar and a screeching nearby.

The others fearfully huddled in the circle as the two slowly backed into them. They're watching every angle the carnivore could ambush them from. Even armed with weapons the others were scared to death, the amount of attacks on them have definitely taken a toll on their mental health.

"C-could it be a really big Compy, right?" Kenji stuttered as he tightened his grip on the butter knife he used as a weapon.

"Darius, didn't you say they were creepo skylarks?" Kenji glanced at him from behind before gulping and turning back to watch out for an ambush.

"I said they're crepuscular—" Darius's correction was cut short when (Y/N) shoved them away. A Ceratosaurus charged out of the jungle towards them.

The Cerato roared and went for a bite, only the others it completely ignored (Y/N), missing all of the campers.

After they had screamed and rolled away, they scattered around a tree and fled from the hungry dinosaur.

As (Y/N) ran to regroup with the others, a Herrera lunged at him from the side.

He dodged it and looked at it, he heard rustling and hissing behind him, he looked around and saw that he was surrounded by a pack of Herrerasaurs.

"Do you know what you're doing is going to get you killed right?" (Y/N) told the pack while raising his sleeves and twirling his Kali sticks.

"We know but taking you down will make this land our hunting grounds.." He assumed to be the leader who replied to him, growling.

"Eh, your funeral." He said as he dodged an attack from behind. He keeps dodging them, while smacking their lower jaw or snout if they get too close. He gave them 1 minute to attack him freely before he went all out.

"1 minute's up reptards, say your prayers!" He told them, as he lunged at one Herrera that was near him. He used it as a weapon against its brethren.

"You've ever been so excited you beat a Herrera with another Herrera?!" He shouted as he wildly swung the poor Herrera while wildly laughing. He kept bashing and smashing until the Herrera he was using as a weapon was only a tail left, and that he switched to claws and teeths.
