⍟ Strings {A Camp Cretaceous x Male Reader Story - Ben}

The next morning all the campers were stuck inside due to the rain. It was pretty boring, but it didn't suck.

Brooklyn and Y/N talked about the difficulties of having on online presence, Brooklyn doing more of the talking.

Ben and Darius discussed various facts and explained different theories to each other, Kenji listened and interjected where he thought it was appropriate.

Yasmina was having trouble being stuck inside all day, so Sammy taught her some games she used to play on a rainy day when she was younger.

Everyone lounged around in the morning and then ate lunch together in the afternoon.

It finally stopped raining around 2:00 pm, but Roxie said it was still too wet to go out.

However, around 6:30, Darius had the idea for everyone to go out and build a campfire.

After a decent amount of begging from the kids, (and Dave), Roxie agreed.

They all sat around the fire, as Darius spoke in an eerie voice as he told a scary story, his hood pulled up over his head for extra scary affect.

"We thought it'd be fun," The fire crackled, "We thought we'd be safe... but, we didn't realize the horror waiting for us on the island."

Darius took a moment and looked around the fire, being sure to make eye contact with everyone.

"Claws," He continued, "Teeth... screaming. So much screaming."

Sammy gasped and Ben clutched onto Y/N's forearm. The boy had already given up trying to shake him off.

Y/N leaned forward in anticipation as Brooklyn sat still, looking rather uninterested.

"How much screaming?" Ben whimpered, but he was quickly shushed by Kenji, "Shh! He's getting to the good part."

"The T.Rex stalked closer..." Darius leaned in, his voice menacing.

"Her jaws open wide!" He used his arms as representation, spreading them out.

He opens his mouth to say the next line when, CLICK.

Brooklyn snaps a picture. Breaking everyone from the immersion as they sit back in their seats and look at her, Darius slipping his hood off.

"For the vlog?" Y/N asks, assuming it was obvious.

Brooklyn nodded, "Keep telling your little story!" She encourages Darius, holding the phone up to record.

Darius sighs and pushes his hood back on.

Everyone leans back in, ready for more.

Even Y/N leaned forward, interest in hearing what would happen next.

"Okay, here we go..." Kenji mumbled as Darius got ready.

"The T.Rex sta--"

"Oh dang!" Brooklyn interrupted, once again.

Kenji and Y/N groaned.

"Out of storage, wait, I'm sorry. Hold on." She began tapping at her phone.

Darius slipped his hood back off.

"I just don't wanna delete my selfie on Mount Everest, you know?" Brooklyn explained as she scrolled through her camera roll, showing Sammy the picture.

"Maybe I should start over." Darius suggested.

"NO!" Ben shouted, "In fact, you can just stop!"
