TW: MENTIONS OF GORE/INJURIES

Predators. Predators lurked around her as she laid flat on the grass, she could hear them roaring at every waking hour. She could hear them stomping around with loud thumps. And at any moment they could squash her in between their claws or eat her after tracking her scent down, as a midnight snack.

Louise awoke in the middle of second night too, she heard chatter coming from essentially the living room of the camp building. Her pajamas never matched, she wore off blue pants that had stars and polar bears on them and a blue green shirt with white letters that said something about Maine but the graphics were so scraped off it was hard to tell. "Me and Darius went into the Carnotaurus paddock!" Kenji exclaimed.

Louise stepped into the living room with her knitted slippers that were off green, she would be lying if she said she hated the colors green and blue. She rubbed her eyes, trying to get some gunk out of them. Kenji was loud but he couldn't be too loud or else he would wake Dave and Roxie, "You guys got into dino trouble, again?" Louise asked in a half awake voice. "And I wasn't with you?" Brooklynn asked. The night before, when she heard Roxie yelling at Kenji, Brooklynn, and Darius, it was because they snuck off to the Raptor paddock, thinking it was the Compy pen, how they confused the two? She'll never know.

"Relax. It was cool!" Kenji replied.

Brooklynn, Sammy, and Yasmina were the only ones up listening to his story, Darius and Ben opted to sleep, Louise was sleeping but now she was awake. Louise decided to sit next to Kenji, on the couch cushion beside him, "Darius got trapped in this cage, and guess who saved him?" Kenji proudly asked. "Me!" Kenji puffed his chest out, sitting up straight on the couch and pointing to himself with his thumb.

"How do you randomly stumble into the Carnotaurus paddock?" Louise asked.

As Kenji told the story of how he and Darius had found their way into the Carnotaurus paddock, Louise had fallen asleep again, to the sound of Kenji's voice that was full of excitement and laughter, with a sense of heroism. She had tilted to her right, her head resting on his shoulder, and Kenji didn't seem to mind. And when she woke up the third morning, she was back in her bunk.

Carnotaurus....that word, that creature. The reason she was in this mess. Or maybe it was her fault...

Long story short, Jurassic World was getting evacuated because of a new hybrid, the Indominus Rex, a white, ruthless, invisible beast escaped from its paddock. And since the campers were left unattended without Dave or Roxie in their presents, they did what any other group of kids would do and they went off by themselves to go have more fun.

Louise, along with Ben, hesitated to follow them, but after realizing they would be alone, with just the two of them, they decided to go with the rest of the campers. In order to get off the island, they all needed to get to the ferry until the timeframe ran out, and because they were so lucky, the ferry was on the whole other side of the island. So, they had to take a river ride, an activity that they would've done if their vacation continued like normal.

They paddled and paddled, Louise was in a kayak with Brooklynn and Kenji, she sat in the middle. Louise happened to enjoy kayaking, and Brooklynn had gone a few places that required her to kayak, so they had double the advantage. It was all going fairly well until they got sucked into the Mosasaurus enclosure once they had stopped paddling. And this was one of their first major encounters with dinosaurs, especially the Mosasaurus, Louise and probably the others had watched the Mosasaurus show online before, but never got to see it or the Mosasaurus in person.

This was when reality really struck. Yasmina almost got eaten alive by the Mosasaurus, but she wasn't left untouched. Yasmina had broke her ankle, or at least fractured it when she jumped back onto the dock. And she was severely light headed, like she was going to collapse into the arms of Brooklynn or Darius. To top it off, by the time they had made it to the actual Jurassic World, it was getting dark. Meaning, they had to rest up.
