I started to pack up supplies. I pulled up a red road flare and remembered the pipeline, thinking that I wouldn't make it out, but here I was, trying to save the world. Beth came over and sat down. "Whatcha doin'?" She asked. "Just packing stuff." I said. "Logan," she asked pausing for a second. "What if we don't make it?" She asked. I shook my head. "Everyone is asking that, and I give them the same answer, we always have survived, and always will." I said. "But what if you're wrong?" She asked. I looked at her. I teared up a bit. I wiped my eyes. "Let's just pray that it goes our way." I said walking away. The kids all ran up to me. "Dude! You and that dinosaur with horns! That was epic!" Mark said. "Seriously, that was, unbelievable." Isaiah said. "Yeah," Kat said pausing. "Thank you for saving me." I smiled. "Hey, I said was going to huh?" I said. She started laughing. Beth walked over. "What was your motivation?" She asked with a twinkle in her eye. I thought for a second. "Mike Arlin." The gang seemed shocked, but the others were just confused. "On the island, our good friend Mike was tore apart by a Carno, and just barely survived. He lost an arm, and he has scars that'll never fade, including memories." I said. "I did it for him." I said itching my head. Beth smiled. I looked up. It's gonna be dark in a hour or so, so get your guy's stuff ready." I said. "Come tomorrow, we've got work to do." I said.

I woke up there was nothing but mist and smoke all around me. I looked around. I heard someone yell. It was Isaiah. "I'm coming!" I yelled as I ran through the smoke. I looked around. There was a light up ahead. I ran to it. He was hiding behind a rock. "Isaiah!" I yelled. He looked at me and ran up to me. He was sobbing. "They're gone! They're all gone!" He sobbed. Tears poured down my face. He stepped away from me a foot or so. Out of the darkness behind him, an arm came out, reaching for him. "Isaiah, don't, move..." I whispered. He turned around. A clawed hand grabbed him and pulled him into the darkness. "Noooo!!!" I yelled. I ran in after him. There was another light. I ran up and stopped. Isaiah was laying on the ground, tore to pieces. The Matriarch was standing over him, looking at me. I sobbed and fell to my knees. "Why?" I cried out. The Matriarch walked over growling. I looked up. It was towering over me. Then with one strike, The Matriarch grabbed me.
I woke up in cold sweat. I looked around. Everyone was here and sleeping. I looked at Kat. I let out a small sob. "What if it does go wrong? What if I am faced up with decision that I'll never forget? What if I lose everything I love?" I thought looking at Jeffrey snuggled up to me. I looked back at Kat, then laid back down.

I woke up about 6:30 in the morning. I looked at my watch, then stood up. I walked into the building and ran up to General Joseph. "What are you doing up this early?" He asked. "I was just wondering if I could use one of your four-wheelers to get some food for my friends. He thought for a second. "Sure go ahead, but make sure you be careful." He said looking at me wide eyed. "I will, thank you sir." I said. I ran to the equipment shed, which was more of a building than a shed. I heard a sound. I walked into the building. I looked around. Some boxes moved. I walked up slowly. I pulled the box up. It was Jeffrey. "What in the heck are you doing here?" I asked him. I picked him up and sat him on my lap as I got on the four-wheeler. It had a GPS and everything on it. "Wow, what a toy this is."  I started it. I pulled out my wallet. I had exactly $100. I started the four-wheeler. I drove onto the main road. I looked at the GPS. There was a sign that said "McDonald's". "That'll work." I said to Jeffrey. After about five minutes of driving, and a bunch of weird faces at me, but who could blame me? I was on a four-wheeler with a dinosaur on my lap. We got to McDonald's. I got off the wheeler and Jeffrey fallowed. As I walked in with Jeffrey right by my side, all of the people looked at me. I was wearing a torn sleeved Jurassic Park shirt, camo shorts, with a knife strapped to my belt, my hat was backwards cause I didn't want it getting caught in the wind, I was a bit muddy, and there was a baby dinosaur walking beside me. There was a teen girl working there at the desk. I walked up. "Hi there, ummm, could I have," I paused looking at the menu. She looked at me up and down, then started cracking up. "Could I have 13 sausage McMuffins please?" I asked. "Alrighty, it'll take a bit," she said cracking up again, then walked to the back room. She was talking to one of her friends or something. She pointed at me and started laughing. I picked up Jeffrey. He looked at the girls then at me. He cocked his head to the side, and made a noise. "I know buddy, it's just they don't know, that's the problem." I said. I just then remembered that my hat was on backwards and fixed it. The girl walked up to me with my order. "That'll be $43.95." She said instantly looking at Jeffrey in my arms. I pulled out my hundred dollar bill and gave it to her. "Thank you." I said walking away. "Wait, could me and my friend get a picture with you?" She asked. I looked at Jeffrey and shrugged my shoulders. I walked over and took a couple pictures with them. "Your puppet looks so lifelike." Her friend said. I chuckled. "You guys want to see a magic trick?" I asked them. They nodded. I set Jeffrey on the counter and he walked around on the counter top. They were shocked with excitement. "Wait is it one of those animatronics?" The girl asked. "Nope, he's my pet, so, definitely real." I said. They tried to pet him but he just kept running to me. "Well it was nice meeting you, what did you say your guys names were again?" I asked. "I'm Samantha, and this is Natalie." Samantha said. "Alrighty then, hope you guys have a good day!" I said walking out. "Wow, that was the first." I said to Jeffrey. He looked up at me and did his baby raptor bark. I laughed. I got on the four-wheeler. I heard a loud bang up the road. I started the wheeler and sped off towards the sound.
