Camp Cretaceous (Darius X Brooklynn)

Chapter Twenty-One

Another one! And time to end the cliffhanger! Anyways, have a good day, stay home, stay safe.

Brooklynn was coming in and out of consciousness for the last minute. Darius was trying to keep her awake. But he wasn't a doctor. Sammy took charge. "Darius, the quills are poisonous. We have to take them out of her."

He gripped the quills, and whispered, "I'm sorry" to Brooklynn. He pulled, and she groaned at the pain. Sammy saw the alcohol bottle. There was a rag, so she grabbed both. She cleaned up the wounds as best as she could.

Darius got down on his knees next to Brooklynn when Sammy was done. "Hey. Hey, come on. You gotta wake up, okay? Please, wake up." he whispered as he held her hand. Kind of like how he held his mom's hand when she died. "Come on. Please wake up."

"Taking the quills out wasn't enough." Ben said out loud. The others were thinking the same thing since it had been another minute since she lost consciousness again. "The poison is already in her system. She needs an antidote."

"Ha. Good luck with that." Kenji said as Sammy inspected him. He had told her that he fell on the glass. A couple of shards had broken through his shirt and skin. She cleaned and got them out. "I'm sure finding one will be easy since NOBODY knew this thing even EXISTED."

"Well, there has to be SOMEthing we can do." Yasmina said. "We can't just sit here and wait for her to die."

Sammy thought for a few seconds. "Oh, I remember now! We found Wu's computer at the lab. In one of the videos, he was attacked by that thing, and they showed him receiving a shot of some kind. I think it was a red vial."

Darius perked up, and ran towards Sammy. "Where's the lab?"

Sammy took out the map, and saw where she and Brooklynn marked. "It's in a building a few miles East of the Sky Gondola."

Darius gripped the map, studied it, and made up his mind. He looked at Kenji, then the rest of the group. "Take care of her until I get back." Darius ran, and kicked the car battery, causing the electrical fence to no longer be a worry. He quickly got on to the motorcycle after pushing everything that was on it to the ground.

"Wait!" Sammy yelled. "Darius, the Scorpius went in that direction!"

"I don't care!" Darius yelled back. "I've got one chance to save her, and I will NOT fail again!" Without anything else to say, he turned on the bike, and drove off into the woods to find the building.

"He's crazy!" Kenji said, noting how rash he just was.

Sammy shook her head. "Yeah, well, what did you expect from him?" The three teens decided to come up with a plan for Darius to make it to the building safely. They eventually decided that Ben would blow something up with Yaz. Sammy and Kenji would stay with Brooklynn. The teens put the car battery back in the jeep, and Yaz and Ben got in to drive to the Gondola.

Darius drove through the jungle like a mad man. It had been about an hour since he left Brooklynn with the others. He was making good time. He was headed in the right direction, and hasn't had a run in with the Scorpius. "Hang on Brooklynn." he kept muttering to himself. "Just hang on." A loud roar made Darius hit the brakes. He looked around, and took out his Glock. He looked around, but found nothing. He kept the gun in his hand, but kept driving.

After a few minutes, he saw a dip in the path. He slowed down, and saw that the dip lead to a river. Darius groaned out loud. "Ugh, COME ON!" He spent the next few seconds looking around again, trying to find something he could use. A rock that looked like a ramp was found. It was at a part where the river curved, but if he could make it...

Darius got the bike as far and as straight as he could. He would need to be fast if he wanted to get some air. He revved the engine, and got ready to perform his first action stunt. He let go of the brake, and the bike went flying through the bushes and grass. The rock came up fast, and Darius braced himself for being in the air and landing. The bike launched off the rock, and got some decent air. He got closer to the ground, and did his best to brace himself.
