Eddie eaten
[Y/N POV]
(Groans)
"Ugh."
"Ow."
"Ouch."
"Is everyone okay?"
Not really, I think to myself.
Kenji is crawling down from a tree. Ben is sprawled on the floor. Yaz is helping Sammy stand up. Brooklyn is struggling to kneel. Darius is groaning and holding his temples.
Yep... Definitely not okay.
Ben struggles his way to get onto his knees and waddles over to me weakly.
"Hey Y/N... you're okay, right?" He asks, his face peering over me. I cringe, and move away from him.
"I'm fine." I stiffly answer, standing up.
(roaring in the distance)
"Where the heck is that thing?" Sammy asks.
Ben whimpers, "It's coming!"
"Shh! It could be anywhere." Kenji shushes
"The observation tower was that way. Or was it that way? I..." Brooklyn sighs
"Wheres- no, no! My necklace, I left it in the bunk!" Darius panics, upset.
(roaring)
"We have slightly bigger problems than that." Yaz warns.
"We have to run. Now!" Ben yells loudly.
And we do just that.
(heavy panting)
"Everything will be fine when we get back to camp." Darius says reassuringly.
"Ah!" Brooklyn yelps, almost tripping on a large root.
"Faster!" Darius says loudly
Soon, after crashing through the forest and ensuring heavy scratching of our knees from the twigs and branches sticking out of the trees, we reach our camp site.
Or at least, what's left of our camp site.
They all looked around, panicked, and devastated.
"Dave, Roxie, the other workers, they must've all gotten away." I mutter.
Ben stares at a truck with wide eyes, apparently hearing my mumble and saying, "Not all of them."
I look at the corpse in cold indifference, but deep inside me, a bit of disgust brews.
"We're on our own." Darius says with some kind of depressing finality.
Heavy Silence
"-Give me my phone!" Brooklyn suddenly snaps.
What?
"What?" Sammy jolts, startled.
"I don't care about you sneaking to Wu's lab, I don't care about whatever you did with the skin samples you took from the sinoceratops!"
"What!?" Ben yells.
"What skin samples?" I ask quietly.
"What were you doing in Wu's lab?" Kenji asks, frowning.
"I don't even care if you stole it now. All I wanna do is call for help! Where is it?" Brooklyn says, her face twisted in anger and paranoia.
"Uh, I..." Sammy whimpers. "I..." Then seems to change her mind about what she's about to say.
