''We need more teeth!''

''What?''

''Teeth! We need more!''

For a moment, I started to think that the Tooth fairy was real again and living in Gray's body. If he wanted teeth, we mine as well rip out our own and dangle them all on prized necklaces for him to wear around like shining trophies of gold as he stands triumphantly over us all. I looked up to Claire to confront her about the Tooth fairy matter.

Claire looked focused on something. Besides just dodging the mass length of claws ripping and tearing through the souvenir stand to grab at us; snatch us away and gobble us up like.. well, anything enjoyable. Her brows furrowed and forehead wrinkled. I watched her breath heavily, chest rising and falling like she was giving birth. 

Turning to Gray, she pointed her dirtied finger at me. No longer neat and polished. ''Protect them!'' Without more than that, she waited for an opening and lunged out of the souvenir stand, under her dinosaur bone statue and ran down into the shadows. 

''WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU GOING?!'' 

Now wasn't a time to panic, but I panicked. 

Another lunge from the monsters hands came through the wall and I wrapped my arms around the boys, using my feet to kick us backwards. My back hit the wall and stuffed prizes fell over my head. We had nowhere else to go from here. We were boxed in just like she was. 

Her claws grew closer and closer. Gray dug his fingers tighter than a rope into my skin and Zach crawled up my body to where his knees were at my shoulders. I kicked at the hand that fought against us, destroying the wall repeatedly while being plundered by Raptors and rifle rounds. What an enormous, unstoppable beast. 

Fuck you, Doctor Wu. 

Her hand finally pulled away. I caught the breaths of everyone in the shack, Gray, Zach, myself, and the incoming Owen, who chucked himself inside and sat himself beside Gray. He placed his hand on Gray's hand, the one that was tightening around my arm, and calmly let loose a couple of words. ''I know it ain't easy, but calm down. We've got you,''

Gray tried to stammer out more words, but Owen halted him.

''That monster doesn't know why the fuck she's messing with. We're going to get you out of here safe and in one piece, you have my word on that.'' 

There was always a way to find solemn in Gray's words. No matter who you were. For Gray, he found Grady trusting, as he knew how to handle dinosaurs better than anybody else and he's the one with the gun. For me, I trusted the guy I've worked with for months and have grown to know quite well. Who wouldn't trust him?

Then all hell broke loose. 

Not only did she reach through the wall once more, but she grabbed a hold of Gray's fanny pack, ripping at its threads. We all grabbed ahold of the boy as he skidded forward, grasping his shoulders and waist to keep him with us. Gray reached his arms down and fumbled fastly for the clip, missing once, then twice, then another.
