Grady's Blood

Beneath the Surface

Y/n POV

I was sitting on the couch at the front of the boat, lost at the picture Yaz had given me when we left Isla Nublar for good while the others were talking so I decide to join them and fold the picture before putting it in the waterproof wallet I found.

Sammy: Are we really off the island or is this a dream?

Yaz: If it were a dream, we'd have a change of clothes by now.

Ben: What'd you mean? I've always wanted a signature look.

We all laugh at Ben's remark while I leant back against the couch I was sat on before Yaz and Sammy joined me. We continued to talk and eat our food until Brooklyn left to bring Kenji down to eat food with us since this may be our last meal together. Ben then walked out with a plate, held high up so none of us could actually see what it was.

Ben: And now for the main course, the plumpest and juiciest Nublar grubs! Hand selected by yours truly.

Ben revealed the grubs to everyone making us recoil and gag in disgust before Ben grabbed one and ate it. I gagged at the sight and when he offered it around, everyone declined the grubs while looking extremely disgusted.

Ben: How you all survived, I'll never know.

Sammy: Ok. No tears or goodbyes until we're on the plane, but can I just say, look at us. We started as campers, now we're-

Ben: Immortal?

Brooklyn: Survivors?

Kenji: Exhausted?

Y/n: Ben, I'm the only immortal one here.

Sammy: I was gonna say soulmates.

Darius: Still doesn't feel real. We made it off the island. Go us.

Sammy: I'm gonna miss you guys so much! Before we get off this boat, I'm gonna need everyone to write down their email addresses, social media handles and weekly availabilities for group check-ins. Also, your favourite kind of cake and the best time of day to receive packages. And, maybe for fun your favourite memory of just the two of us.

Kenji: Hey who took my food?

We all look over to Kenji's plate and see his berries are all gone before he glares at Darius.

Darius: Wasn't me.

Y/n: Maybe Charlie followed us onto the boat. She's always been a curious one.

Sammy: Oh, Y/n, no! Don't even joke!

I laugh at Sammy's response before reaching for some more berries before Brooklyn spoke.

Brooklyn: No more sea sickness, Ben? What, did the island beat it out of you?

Y/n: Wait, Ben had motion sickness?

Sammy: I forgot you weren't on the ferry with us to come here.

Just then, light clicking was heard which made us all freeze to hear what it might be.

Y/n: Oh shit, it might actually be Charlie.

We all quickly stood up and looked toward the side of the boat, hoping it wasn't one of my Velociraptors and thankfully, it wasn't. It was just a stowaway Compy that made us all groan in frustration.

Y/n: Great, better than a raptor, but we can't bring it to the mainland.

Darius: Last thing we want is it chewing on some wires.

The Compy screeched before running away while I look at Sammy, Ben and Yaz with a smirk.

Y/n: Let's chase one more Compy. One last time.
