Camp Cretaceous (Darius X Brooklynn)

Chapter Forty Six

Another one.

Owen led the others into a museum hall, filled with a bunch of places to hid. Darius carried Maisie in his arms, not wanting to take a chance of her getting caught. Brooklynn noticed her boyfriend, and her heart melted kind of. She knew that Darius was very caring, and had no doubt he would be a great father if that's what he wanted to be someday. But he had barely know the little girl for a few hours, and he already took on the responsibility to take care of her. She supposed it was partly because of the memory of his Uncle, and the other part of it being Darius's natural instincts.

Owen saw a man lying dead on the floor with his gun a few inches away. He moved towards it slowly just in case that thing was near by. The body suddenly slid backwards and everyone quickly ran for any cover. Darius, Brooklyn, and Maisie hid behind a pillar and the others hid behind the display of a dinosaur skull. The Indoraptor growled, looking for more food. Or was it looking for more things to mindlessly kill?

After about a minute of hiding, Darius risked peaking. He saw that the Indoraptor was standing on the display, most likely just above where everyone else hid. Darius motioned for Brooklynn to hold onto Maisie, who shook her head when he tried to get her to stay with Brooklynn. Darius didn't know what to do. He was going to try to lead the demon away from everyone, but if Maisie wouldn't move...

Thankfully, Darius didn't have to wait long to know what to do. The walkie talking that the dead man dropped started to make noise, giving away where the four adults were hiding. "Run!" Owen yelled as the Indoraptor roared. Darius once again grabbed Maisie, and made a break for the stairs. Brooklynn quickly followed behind them. Once they got up the stairs, Darius handed Maisie over to Brooklynn, and took out his gun. He fired a couple shots to give the others more time to get up here.

Darius followed Ben through a secret door. Where did it lead? Who knows. As long as it got them away from that thing. Darius shut the door just in time and climbed down the ladder, which put them straight in a big display case. Brooklynn noticed another fuse box, and quietly opened it. She flicked a switch, and all the lights in the museum hall turned off. Darius checked his gun, and made sure he had ammo in it.

Darius and Owen took the lead once again in finding a way out. They snuck across several connecting museum displays, going through various fake environments. They made it to the end, and Darius found a hatch. If he could get it open, they could get the hell out of here. Darius messed around with the hatch, while Owen and Ben stood with Maisie, Brooklynn, Sammy, and Claire, who were trying their best to blend into the background. Brooklynn held onto the little girl's shoulders, holding her as close as Maisie would allow. Darius silently sighed at how hard this was. They were SO close!

Suddenly, the lights started coming on. One by one, the displays around them lit up until it was just theirs that was dark. And then the light came on, leaving them completely exposed to the Indoraptor's vision. Darius pulled out his weapon, waiting for something bad to happen. Maisie looked around the lit up display. She saw something in the glass window in front of her. Her breathing picked up as she saw a mouth with razor sharp teeth. She screamed as the Indoraptor jumped through the glass, hitting a bunch of the overhead objects, causing them to fall. The humans ducked, but Brooklynn and Claire were caught between the fake wood tree that came down on them. Maisie still screamed as the thing attacked them from above and straight through.

Claire felt something pierce her thigh, and screamed in pain. The hybrid monster's claw had poked her. Brooklynn looked to her left and saw an opening. She pushed Maisie left, and shouted, "Maisie, run! RUN!" The little girl took off to who knows where, but for now she was at least safe. But the hybrid demon noticed the girl in red, and decided to chase her instead. Darius looked at Brooklynn. "I've got Claire, go get Maisie." The man nodded his head as he ran after the Indoraptor. Owen joined, and grabbed the gun that belonged to the dead man.
