Characters:Preston is main character, but also Jimmy comes in as a big character too. Other then that we have the others, Ann, Lumpy, Choy…
Summary:Preston gets lost from the rest of the search party. He finds out that he's not the only one who's gotten lost. Now they got to either find their way back to the gate and Englehorn or find the search party!
Note:I've never played the King Kong game, but got the idea of writing a story lightly based on the game and the movie, but mostly on my own fantasy!
Thanks to Jess for spellchecking my story! 3

Preston and the rest of the search party slumped down on some rocks, dead tired. They had come to a narrow chasm. The sun was shining brightly and sweat ran down Preston's face. They had been searching for Ann Darrow and that beast for many hours now without any luck. The jungle of Skull Island felt everything but safe and for good reasons. Preston watched as Carl Denham, Herb and Bruce Baxter walked around a huge stone and vanished from his sight. Carl was dragging his Bell and Howell camera everywhere and he was now lurking around filming instead of taking a well needed break.
After a maybe five - ten minutes break, stones began to tumble down the slopes and the ground began to shake violently. The first thing that reached Preston's mind was 'earthquake', but that thought slowly vanished when Bruce came running towards them. Slowly sailors began to move to the opposite direction from where Bruce had come. Preston wasn't completely sure what to do, but began to run as soon as Herb came hobbling their way too. Preston jogged after the others as everyone peeked over their shoulders to see what they were running from. Preston's eyes grew wide as he saw numerous huge brontosaurus come crashing towards them. They were not just jogging anymore now. Some sailors screamed at the sight of the creatures and sped up even more.
In front of him, Preston could see Choy and Lumpy running side by side. He tried to think why on earth the cook was so into lighting a cigarette at this time, but his thoughts were cut short as the brontosaurs were gaining on them. Soon Preston was joined by Jimmy in the run. They sent each other a grimace when huge, fat legs past them and soon there was a huge forest of legs all over the place. Preston ran, jumped and dodged for what seemed like ages. Without warning a sailor in front of him was crushed under a huge foot. Preston felt like vomiting when he saw a narrow opening in the rock-face of the chasm. He cut through a whole bunch of running legs and ran right into the dark opening. He kept stumbling forward in the dark to avoid being hit by falling rocks. He could see a shadow running in front of him and heard footsteps of something behind him too. All of a sudden the stone walls on both sides of him disappeared and he was back into the thick vegetation of the jungle.
The person that had been running in front of him turned around and looked at Preston with huge eyes. Sweat ran down their faces and they both gasped for air. Preston recognized the other as a sailor by the name of Henry, although he hadn't really spoken with him much. They both spun around as Lumpy, Choy and Jimmy came stumbling out of the narrow crevice. Jimmy turned around and looked at the way he had just come from. "Something's coming" he mumbled, but the others heard him perfectly. Lumpy came forward and stood beside Jimmy, looking extremely grumpy with the gun gripped in his hands. "Those footsteps sound too heavy for a human being" Preston said and he lifted his gun towards the narrow, dark crevice. Slowly they backed away when they heard sounds that clearly did not belong to humans.
