That's when the dinosaurs huge, spiny tail whacks against our hamster ball, sending us flying at least twenty feet or more.

"Oh my God!" I scream. "Shh," Grey whispers. That's when the dinosaurs distract each other by fighting. Seconds later the huge, scary dinosaur kills the smaller one.

Then that creepy, white beast makes its way towards us. "No, no, no, no!" I whisper.
"I can't die this way," Zach says. That's when the dinosaur picks us up by his sharp claws, and bangs us up and down. Which causes the glass to break underneath us.

Zach unbuckles us, and we fall out of the hamster ball. We begin to run, run run away from the forest. We come across a waterfall, "we have to jump." Zach says.

We jump, and swim to the muddy shore. "Wow...we jumped," I laughed.
Suddenly Zach didn't seem like that rude, obnoxious teen, but he seemed like a caring, brave kid who saved his brother and a girl.

"Thanks for saving me...uhh...I mean us," I smile at him. And for the first time I see his genuine smile, it was cute, and wasn't a fake smirk he put on for girls.

"You're welcome..." he smiles.

"We need to get back to the main area of the park," I say, the smile disappearing from my face. "Let's go this way," I say, leading the way.

"Look!" Grey says, picking up a white hard helmet covered in dirt in blood.

"Oh, wonder where that's from..." Zach trails off. Then we see a building. "Hey," Zach says as we walk inside, "you still got those matches?" He asks Grey.

"Yeah..." Grey answers, pulling the box out of his fanny-pack.

Zach gets a strip of cloth and wraps it around a stick, lighting it on fire; it was a torch.

"Hey, remember when we fixed up grandpa's old Malibu?" Zach asks Grey. Grey nods.

Then the boys get to work, leaving me to search for scrap parts. I feel a buzzing in my pants...my phone! It must've not been ruined when I jumped in the water!

It was Owen, so I answer immediately. "Owen?! Zach, Grey and I are okay...we're at some place with old cars and scraps of metal in it...please come soon!" I say.

"You're so brave, Harley Bear. Stay brave...I'll be there soon," he says, then hangs up.

I needed my tough, hardcore brother at a time like this. "All done..." Zach says, wiping off his hands on his pants.

"Let's get the heck outta here!" I say. "I got a call from my brother Owen. He said he's coming after us," I tell them. That's when a flock of pterodactyls swarm over top of us. I grab a scrap of metal that was laying around in the back of the car, and whack a pterodactyl with it. I keep hitting the ones that were getting close to us.

"Wow, you're awesome..." Grey says. "I learn from the best," I say thinking of Owen.

I really needed him. I search my pockets for my phone...not in any of my pockets, not on the floorboard of the car, no anywhere to be seen.

"No no no!" I say kicking at the metal on the car. "What?" Zach asks.
"My...phone is gone. So now, we have absolutely no way to communicate with your aunt or my brother," I say.

"We'll be okay...and I'd say we're a pretty good team, eh?" He raises an eyebrow, which makes me smile. "Yeah, I guess we are," I agree. "Good. We all pitched in...you killed those pterodactyls, Grey and I fixed the jeep. So what if we don't have a phone...we're pretty darn good without it," he smiles at me.
