Chapter 3
Trying to Make it Through Alive
All of the humans started walking into the forest. It was going to be a long journey. They needed to remember where their plane was so that they could get off the island…if they forgot then they were going to die a slow and painful death. Angeletta was in the lead as before and Ariel was right behind her. The two men were right behind them always on high alert making sure nothing would get near them.
"I thought men were supposed to be fearless." whispered Ariel.
"Well…some are, but when you get them with dinosaurs, they run off like cowards." replied Angeletta.
"We heard that." spoke Fredrick from behind them.
The two girls looked at them and laughed a little bit. Rick rolled his eyes and looked at Fredrick and said, "They think we can't do anything right." He aimed his gun and shot at the trees.
Little did they know there was a giant predator hiding in the forest hunting for prey. When the gun sounded its head whirled around and sniffed the air. It then started walking around the forest floor, walking through the trees. The smell was unfamiliar to the giant lizard. It sniffed the air again, but this time smelling something else he hadn't smelt….it wasn't any dinosaur it had eaten before…but something smaller.
It started walking fast. His little arms tucked under its massive body. Its body leaned forward and cutting through the trees, soon noises it had never heard before echoed in its small ears. It kept hidden in the trees watching intently as its prey never realized it was there.
"Rick! Why did you just shoot that gun?!" exclaimed Angeletta.
"Because I felt like it, its not your concern." he replied.
"Yes it is too my concern! You make a noise like that and we'll be invested by predators!" she yelled.
Rick looked at her and then at the rest of the crew. They were in deep trouble if someone had heard that gun shot. Rick swallowed hard and looked around. As he did he never noticed a pair of hungry eyes were staring down at him. They started walking ahead trying to get out of the forest as soon as possible. Because of Rick's stupid actions it was risking their lives just to venture through the forest. Now all were on high alert and were looking every which way.
Suddenly the ground started shaking beneath their feet…it was sure not an earthquake. Angeletta's eyes grew big as she turned around and saw trees fall down on the ground. A tyrannosaurus rex stood their roaring and started after them. They all screamed and started running as fast as they could. The boys started dropping everything they had so that they could run faster…faster than the girls.
"RICK YOU ASS! IF WE MAKE IT THROUGH REMIND ME I NEED TO KILL YOU!" she yelled.
The tyrannosaurus rex was gaining fast with its jaws wide open ready to capture one of the humans in its strong powerful jaws and enjoy a meal worth running after. It had never seen these creatures before and it wanted one…wanted one so bad.
"THIS WAY!" exclaimed Angeletta taking a sharp turn into the deep forest not turning around to make sure her people were right behind her. If she did then she could cause all their deaths.
"We can't throw off this thing!" exclaimed Ariel.
Angeletta ignored her and kept running, but soon tried to stop seeing velociraptors. The velociraptors looked their way and as they tried to get away all four humans fell on top of the three velociraptors. The three humans looked at each other and then at the velociraptors and quickly got up. It took the lizards a little bit to get up, but by the time they did the four humans were already gone. They sniffed the air and started running after them.
"Great now look at the mess we're in!" yelled Fredrick.
"Well we wouldn't be in this mess if someone hadn't fired their gun!" screamed Angeletta.
"I didn't know it was going to start all this!" he yelled.
Suddenly the tyrannosaurus rex ran out of the woods in front of them and roared. They went to turn around and saw the velociraptors coming at them.
"We're trapped!" Ariel whimpered.
Suddenly both velociraptors and t-rex stopped where they were staring at the other intently. One of the velociraptors slowly started walking towards one of the humans, but the t-rex roared and ran straight at them. Angeletta, Ariel, Rick, and Fredrick all ran out of the way and went to hide somewhere. The velociraptors jumped on the t-rex tearing at its flesh. The tyrannosaurus rex roared in anger and grabbed one in its powerful jaws and snapped the life right out of it. The other velociraptors started biting near its face trying to get revenge on their fellow comrade. The t-rex easily killed the both of them, forgetting about the humans it started eating its kill.
Angeletta and the rest of her team members were still running not looking back at the killing predators. Finally they all stopped and took a breather seeing that they were no longer being followed. Rick suddenly felt a sharp pain in his arm and looked down. There was a deep gash in his arm and blood was pouring out of it furiously. Angeletta looked at Rick and gasped. She ran over to him and started looking for a first aid kit.
"Where's the first aid kit?" she asked.
Fredrick looked around and said, "I think I dropped it when we were being chased by a man eating beast."
"YOU BASTARD! WE NEED THAT KIT! RICK HAS GOT A HORRIBLE CUT AND YOU DROPPED THE FIRST AID KIT SOMEWHERE!" she screamed.
"Hey I wanted to live! I was not carrying all that stuff!" he yelled back at her.
Angeletta left Rick's side and marched right over to Fredrick and slapped him across the face of yelling at her.
"You had no right to do that woman." he snarled.
"Oh I didn't? How about this?" she kicked him in the crotch and watched him fall to his knees.
Angeletta bent down to him and whispered in his ear, "Don't do that again, or else I will feed you to a dinosaur."
She then got up and said, "Anyone has some cloth?"
Ariel ripped her jacket and handed it to Angeletta. Angeletta quickly tied the ripped jacket around Rick's arm very tightly. He let out a moan of pain and looked away as she did it.
"There…that should slow down the bleeding so it will stop…hopefully." she whispered.
Rick looked at his arm and saw the blood started to stop flowing and started to clot so that it would heal. He slowly stood up a little woozy from losing so much blood.
"So how did he get that cut?" asked Fredrick.
"The velociraptors." whispered Angeletta.
"What?"
"He fell on one of the velociraptor's claws and that's what tore his skin…we need to find our way back to the plane and get him back to America so that he can get better.
Before they did anything Ariel let out a terrified scream. The two looked at her and saw little dinosaurs…very small and looked carnivorous. "What the hell is that!" exclaimed Fredrick.
"That is a Compsognathus…" she whispered, "They travel in groups."
"Then where are the others?" asked Ariel who ran over to them.
Suddenly out of the bushes came around twenty more. They started running towards the humans, but stopped when they sniffed the air. It smelt of blood. They looked at Rick's direction. Rick tried running, but tripped over himself. All the little dinosaurs jumped on him and started devouring him alive.
"Rick!" exclaimed Ariel.
"There's nothing we can do." whispered Angeletta as Rick's screams started getting louder and he tried fighting them off of him.
"We have to do something." whispered Fredrick.
"We can't…if we do so they'll turn their attention on us…"
"But that will be good so that he can get away!"
"He won't be able too."
Suddenly the ground started shaking once again and they looked up to see a Tyrannosaurus Rex walking towards them. They quickly ran away and the T-Rex walked over to the small dinosaurs and started eating the carcass of what once used to be Rick. The little Compsognathuses started attacking the T-Rex only being devoured by its large mouth.
Once they were all away from the dinosaurs Ariel started to have a breakdown. She had never been through this at all. She wanted to leave, but knew they couldn't because they had to venture onward through the island.
"We will all remember Rick….he will always be in our hearts and his memory will never leave us." whispered Angeletta.
The rest of the team bowed their head to remember Rick. Angeletta then looked up at the sky trying to determine what time it was. Her watch had broken from all the running they did today and trying to find the time in a forest was hard work.
"Where do we eat? I'm starving." moaned Fredrick.
Angeletta looked over at Fredrick and said, "We'll have to find some fruit or something."
"Could we just find a dinosaur and kill it and eat that?"
"If you want to gut it and everything you can do that." Angeletta replied looking at him.
"We'll need to find shelter soon….we want something good and sturdy so that if we need to hide it can hide us very well."
So they started walking through the forest looking for something to hide themselves until they came to a tree which had a huge hole in it. They all walked inside and looked around. It was an old tree….
"I don't see how they didn't find this island." sighed Angeletta sitting on the floor.
"Yes, these trees are very old and they couldn't have grown this big over night." agreed Fredrick.
Soon the sun started to go down and everything went dark. They were so used to the city with the bright lights….but this was different. Much different from the plains where they had slept the other night. They had a little fire burning in the tree to keep themselves a little warm. Everyone would take turns sleeping and keeping watch throughout the night.
Far away from where they were at a being not from this planet awoke. Its red eyes glowing in the darkness and it slowly stood up. It was taller than any of the trees and it looked around. The sword that was once stuck in its abdomen was gone and his wound was minor now…he hadn't died. Optimus Prime didn't kill him, but now he was going to kill Optimus Prime. He started walking until he smelt a fire, but there was no fire in the forest….humans,he thought automatically and started looking for them…wherever they were.
Angeletta and her team slowly fell asleep. Fredrick forgot to stay awake….now it was fate to see if they lived or died.
