Camp Cretaceous (Ben x F!Reader) *Slow Updates*

Chapter 40

Y/n POV

I walked around with my new shirt while Aleem took back his shirt. "You look childish with that" chuckled Aleem and he passed me. "Well you should have taken one so we could match" I smiled as he shook his head. I find a store and see the book we made on sale, "Wow would you look at that!" Aleem saw it and walked closer, "I remember there being a cardboard cut out of me here, I forgot what happened to it?" I raised my eyebrows, "As in that one photo shoot you went to? Was it even accurate to your size?" He shook his head, "No I don't think it was 6 feet, so it's  a lie if it said it was life sized. Why would anyone want a life sized cardboard cut out of the illustrator of a book?" I shrug, "Beats me."

Aleem went inside and walked around finding more merchandise. I saw a fridge and walked up to it, I grab the hand and opened it expecting cold air. But I frowned when I felt warm air, "Nothing good here. Let's look somewhere else Aleem." So we walked to another store and checked the fridges and freezers. Nothing.

Warm.

Hot.

Spoiled.

Expired.

Open.

Contaminated.

All these problems and no drinks found. Aleem pointed one final building. It was the center piece, maybe we could find something there. "This place is rough", I clenched my teeth as I looked around. Metal falls onto the ground, I gasp and look into the direction and saw an empty can. "What was that?" asked Aleem, I shrugged "A compie maybe." Aleem looks back at a map on the wall, "Doesn't matter. Kitchen should be to the right." I nod and walk with him, we pass a wall full of photos of 'Jurassic Park'. "Wouldn't it have been incredible to have been alive during that time?" asked Aleem. I shake my head, "And experience this but worse in a sense, no thanks. From the little heard from Mr. Grant it sounded like a terrible experience."

"I suppose that's true but it's better then have a literal fantasy dinosaur for attractions. I sure hope that Indo is dead" shivered Aleem as he spoke. "Definitely sounds like movie material" I said trying to cheer him up, he lightly chuckles, "More like show material. You should definitely write our experience in a autobiography once we get off this wretched island." "Maybe I should" I said thinking about it. We kept walking and reached the kitchen. Scrapping is heard behind the wall, I shiver and look at Aleem. He nervously looks at me and replies, "Hopefully just some more compies..." The scrapping stops, "That sounds bigger then a compie." Aleem started to speed walk to the freezer, "Let get out of here as fast as possible."

We finally found some decent drinks and water that was cool enough to not be spoiled. We started to stuff my mini backpack but it could only hold as much. Aleem folded his shirt in a way so it was a make-shift bag and stuff that too with the drinks. "We should add some ice to keep it cooler... is there a cooler at the camp?" Aleem asked, I ran through my thoughts, "Yes I remember there being one." Thankfully Aleem still had his undershirt so he wouldn't be shirtless, he would totally be embarrassed. Clang. "What was that?" I said as I turned, Aleem grabbed my shoulder and began to push me away from the kitchen. "Let's just get out of here Y/n" he said as he continued pushing me.

A shadow passes in the corner of my eyes, I turn my head sharply but nothing was there. Clicking. I leaned into Aleem and whispered, "There's something in here with us." He nods as we continued speed walking trying to to make noise. There was a thud behinds us and we turned to see the most hideous dinosaur I have ever seen. It roared at us, we screamed and began to run away. It jumped and we went into different directions but it continued to follow me. It managed to bite my backpack and was pulling me back. I strapped it off and saw it slam it into the floor, different liquids spilling out of it. It didn't care and continued chasing me, I screamed as it made me go in a circle. Aleem saw this and screamed, "Over here! Back into the kitchen!"

It heard Aleem and turned it head towards him. The creature swiped it tail and hit Aleem causing him to hit a wall and drop the make-shift bag. He didn't have time to ponder in pain and got up grabbing the makeshift bag. We ran back into the kitchen as it roared at us and pounced weirdly. It's so hideous, why does it even exist? Once we got into the kitchen Aleem ran into the freezer and scream "Y/n in here now!" I jumped in as Aleem slammed the freezer door shut, the creature roars and scratches the circular window of the walk in freezer. I breath heavily and see Aleem holding the door as it tried to pull it open. I gasp and grab the handle helping him hold it back. The creature growls but leaves, but we continue holding the door shut.

After a couple of minutes we let go and sigh in relief, that was a close call. "We should wait a little longer before getting out of here" suggested Aleem and he pants out of breath. I nod, "Sounds great to me.... What was that creature?" Aleem grimaces, "Something that shouldn't be living nor classified as a dinosaur." I shiver and rub my shoulder, "Wow it's cold in here, I thought it would be warmer." Aleem looks at me, "We're in a freezer what do you expect." I sigh seeing my breath, "I mean there's no power to this building so I expected it to not be running." Aleem looks pensive for a bit, "Maybe a back-up generator for disasters so the things here don't spoil?" I think about it, "That's a good idea if it is."

I sigh finally catching my breath, I smiles happy that we managed to escape that thing. But my smiles falters as I look at Aleem. "Aleem? What is that?" I asked scared as I pointed at his stomach area. "Huh?" he says as he looks down and sees four quill-like things embedded into his stomach. "How didn't you feel that?!" I yelled afraid at what this meant. He touches it and hissed in pain, "Must have been the adrenaline. I was too distracted trying to save the both of us." I clench my jaw, this doesn't look good at all. Those things must have come from the tail of that creature.

This isn't good.
