Survivors

A loud alarms started blaring, shattering the calm air. What's going on? I thought. Kenji, Darius, and I ran to the others.

An automatic voice rang through the stands. "Attention. All parkgoers must report to the south ferry dock for immediate evacuation. The last ferry departs in two hours," it said.

"What!? That's it! No explanation!?" Brooklynn exclaimed. "Damn, talk about vague," I said, crossing my arms.

"We have to move," Darius said firmly, "The only way we'll make it is if we run."

Darius started to walk up the stands when I grabbed his hand. "Huh?" He questioned. I rolled my eye and grabbed his face. I then made him look at Yaz, Ben, and Bumby, who were trailing in the back. Very back.

"Oh," Darius said. "I swear you are so slow sometimes," I said flatly. Darius sent me a glare. "Your nickname should have been Snippy instead of Blueberry," He said. "Yup, just call me Snips," I said proudly. Darius smiled at me. Something fluttered in my chest. Okay, THAT was weird, I thought.

"I don't think running is the best idea. Yaz might not be able to keep up," Sammy said. Yaz then glared at Sammy.

"I'LL be fine. Besides I've competed with a torn ACL," Yaz said. "Impressive," I said. "Thanks. Anyways, it's Ben and Bumby you should be worrying about."

Just as Yaz said that, Ben and Bumby came up behind her. Ben applied sanitizer onto his hands and on Bumby's head.

"We should be more worried about catching a boat our of here. And naturally, we have a problem," Ben said. "Why does the universe hate us," I said. Ben pulled out a map of Jurassic World and pointed to the lagoon. "We're here, and the south docks," he pointed to the southern tip of thr Island, which looks far away, "Are ALL the way down here. Even if we ran at peak Yaz speed, we wouldn't make even the last boat out."

Brooklynn scoffs and crosses her arms. "You don't know that," she said.

"Yes I do. I memorized the whole evacuation plan on the ferry ride over here," Ben said. "Todos vamos a morir," (We're all going to die) I said, rubbing my temples. I winced as my hand grazed my cut. It stopped bleeding now, which was good.

Darius jumped onto one of the seats and started looking around. "Ok, so we need another way, um..." He pointed to the kayaks. "Maybe we could use those," he said. We all shook our heads.

"O-okay. Maybe we could send someone to tell them to wait. Or maybe-" "Maybe we should make a few jetpack real quick. Oohhh! We should befriend a unicorn. Forget it, we're done," Brooklynn said.

Brooklynn crossed her arms and huffed. Darius was about to say something when another automated voice said, "We will be arriving at Main Street. Your destination for fine dining and shopping at Jurassic World!"

We all looked around to find where the voice came from. Then we spotted the monorail. "Monorail! Wha-what!" Kenji said, pumping his fists in the air. "Hmm. Nicely played universe," I said.

We all started running towards the monorail station. I was behind Darius and then passed him. Until I felt a hand grab me by my hood. I made a small choking noise before I was with the rest of the group. (Anyone else imagining Chris getting yoinked like a cartoon character 😂) "What the crap," I said before Dadrius shushed me.

He then peered around the corner and I mimicked him. Toro was right there. He turned around and picked a blue canister. Darius whispered at us to move and we crept towards the stairs.

Darius then motioned for Ben, Yaz, and Bumby to move. They all shared a looked before moving forward. Toro dropped the can and they all ran back.

Darius then grabbed a rock and threw towards the canisters. The made a loud clang sound and Toro went to investigate.
