The Utah-Group

Chapter 16 The Compy

Jonath was waking up. The sun shone in his eyes. He yawned and stretched. He looked around. He saw Cap DB curled up on the ground fast asleep, he saw Fevy laying against a burnt tree stump, Robby was laying on his side, he was leaning on Fevy but Fevy pushed him off and he ended up sleeping on his side, and Kyle had fashioned a small nest from old dead leaves. He did that since he was the "worrier" of the group. Jonath decided to go walk around. He was kinda worried that he couldn't contact the girls and Aron. He walked around for a little. He heard rustling nearby. He looked around looking for the source of it. He didn't know what it was. A small compsognathus jumped out of a bush. It looked up at him chittered and scurried off. Jonath, curious, followed the little Compy. It was bursting through the foliage like crazy. Jonath exclaimed when a big branch smacked him in the head. Jonath hoped he didn't wake up the others. Finally he and the Compy got to a place with crushed undergrowth and what seemed to be an old overgrown game trail. It stopped and looked up at Jonath and squeaked real loud. Jonath was confused. "Why did it lead me here?" He wondered. Then the Compy chirped again and scuttled off ahead in the distance, Jonath sprinted after it. "Um, hello?" Jonath asked the little creature as he was running by its side. "Uh, where are you taking me?" The Compy stopped abruptly. And Jonath nearly tripped as he stopped. The Compy said nothing. It just stared at Jonath. "Not much of a talker are you?" Jonath asked. The Compy still didn't say anything. "Well, uh......this is.......uh..awkward." Jonath said. The Compy just cocked its head and continued to stare at Jonath. Then it squeaked and continued to run. Jonath sped up after it. After a long time of running, the Compy finally slowed down and stopped as did Jonath. The Compy had led him to a very deep looking cave. Jonath heard whimpering from inside the cave. The Compy looked at Jonath, and then jumped up and down twice and pecked at the air in front of Jonath. Jonath knew that the Compy meant for him to follow him inside. So Jonath did so. The inside of the cave was very dark. Jonath  was using his night vision. The Compy whimpered and scratched at a huge boulder in the back of the cave. Jonath put his ear hole up to the boulder and heard even louder and more mournful whimpers. Then Jonath realized that the Compy's family, and or friends, were trapped behind the other end of the large boulder. Jonath tried to move the boulder, but it didn't even budge. He looked at the Compy and said. "I'll go get my family and friends. They can help get your people free." The Compy nodded. And Jonath ran off to get the rest of the group.
