A/N

TW// gore, swearing, gay(/j)

(Ben's POV)
I walked back from my bathroom run and saw Kenji dancing around singing something.

"The hell?" I called out to him.

He had a smug look on his face. He placed his hands on his hips and stood proudly.

"Darius put me in charge of collecting supplies"

"and?" I stared at him, my brows furrowed, "where even is Darius?"

"Ill have you know that he is going dino watching" Kenji gave me a suspicious look which quickly turned back to his dumb smug face, "and as the 'leader' I order you to get toilet paper"

I stared at him blankly. I hummer, shrugging my shoulders and leaving. I glanced back to see Kenji dancing and singing again.

(Darius POV)
I took a slow and calming walked through the jungle. The Gallimimus was the first dinosaur I came across. It looked like a featherless ostrich that mutated with a Compy. Though it was still such a pretty dinosaur. If only dad were able to see it...

One of the brown dinosaurs noticed me writing in my journal. I looked up and it was a couple yards away. Wow. We made eye contact when the static from the silly triceratops walkie sounded out. I picked it up annoyed as the Gallimimus' ran away.

"yes Kenji?"

Kenji stuttered a bit, "Uhhh n-nothing just checking in on you"

I rolled my eyes, "is there something you need?"

"nope! I have everything under control"

I was suspicious of this, but I payed no mind. Its Kenji, but then again... Its Kenji.

I followed the dinosaurs through the jungle. They seemed panicked. A couple were cowering by some dense vegetation while others were squawking at a tree. My heart sank when I looked up and saw a corpse fall from the tree. Spines emitted from its torso, revealing fleshy rings and pus.

Vomit rose in my mouth and I stumbled back. The dinosaurs took off but at this point I didnt care for recording data.

(Kenjis POV)
"theres the little shit," I said that in a friendly manner but Yas didnt. She gave me an unamused stare before returning her gaze to Ben.

We squeezed our way through the ankylosaurus' until Ben was right in front of us, sat in front of Bumpy.

"Ben! What the hell, man?" I said in a stern voice. He didnt even look at me just smiled. Thats when he shushed me.

"Ben, I told you to get TP" I pointed a finger at him. He still didnt look!

"And I did. Then I came to feed Bumpy," his voice was oddly soft, "Didnt need her getting hangry in front of the herd"

I crossed my arms. He finally glanced up at me. Yas approached copying my face and body position.

"Whats wrong?" He sounded a bit annoyed but still kept his oddly soft tone.

"Whats WRONG is that your not respecting your CAPTAIN" I gestured at myself.

Yas finally jumped in, "kinda messed up how you ran off without telling anyone"

Ben stood up, his voice grew angrier but still maintaining that weird softness, "I didnt know I needed permission to live my life" So outrageous. Heh, thats a big word.

"Its about helping out, its what Darius asked of us!" I was heated, yet I tried to keep my cool.

Ben's brows furrowed and he tossed a bag of toilet paper at us, "There I helped." The softness in his voice was receding.

(Bens POV)
This was absolutely dumb. If they needed to get work done, they shouldnt have come looking for me! I was just minding my business when they came along. So. Dumb.

We began to head back to camp. A storm was rolling in. I didnt mind storms, just didnt like how cold they got. Wearing a thin tank top with holes in it caused this hatred.

————————————————————————
Darius, Sammy, and Brooklyn came rushing onto the camp. They looked terrified. I was terrified myself that they would find out we hadnt packed.

The radio went off. Darius' voice was frantic, "We have to get off the island!"

We looked at each other confused. Why?

"Theres another hybrid dinosaur!" Brooklyn sounded out of breath.

Wait. A hybrid dinosaur? My brows raised and my eyes widened. We dont have anything packed. We wont make it in time.

"Grab the supplies and meet us at the boat" Darius was serious. He usually sounded leader-y or excited or nervous but never this serious. (at least in my brain).

Oh. The supplies. I cringed a bit. If we died tonight... It would be my fault. I distracted them. I got them delayed. Dammit.

Darius went off at Kenji. But something unthinkable happened. Kenji made a plan. AND it was THOROUGH. Me and Yas obliged and did what we were supposed to do.

SORRY FOR THE SHORT CHAPTER!! im planning on making the next longer. Its a small skip to when they notice the spines in Sammy, so I do recommend preparing yourself
