Chapter 4: Girl Scout
Paige's Pov-
The raptor jumped at me but I rolled way from its death claws, but I underestimated the raptors speed since it jumped around and hit me with its tail before I was back on my feet and I lost my ak47 as I fell.
I landed on my front and before I got up it jumped onto my back forcing me down. Snapped at my backpack and I reached of the ak47 and once I reached it I smashed the raptors head with it, it fell of me and I grabbed a sharp scrap metal that was lying on the floor and tried to stab the raptor in its chest but I missed and instead I stabbed it right through its arm.
I bent the metal and managed to break the raptor's arm, the raptor cried in pain and slowly stepped away from me, he shouted to the other raptor and both jumped right through a window and both disappeared in the outside jungle.
"Did you see those dinosaurs?" Caleb said shocked over what just had happened.
"Yeah, utahraptors." I said and picked up my ak47, it was broken in half from smashing the dinosaur.
"No, I mean did you see it? Those where dinosaurs." Caleb said. "It's just like that movie." He continued and I threw away my ak47 since it was too broken to use anymore.
"What are we going to do now?" Caleb asked.
"You get back to the control room with the Doctor and I'll try to find the key and if I find those other guys, I'll take care of them." I said.
"But what about the dinosaurs, and your rifle is broken." Caleb said.
"I still have my gun, I prefer this thing anyway." I said and patted my gun. "Plus did you see that look on the dinosaur after I broke its arm, it's scared of me now so it'll take some time for them to attack me." I said very confident.
"Paige McCullers, elite soldier and Dinosaur scarer." Caleb said and started to walk back to the control room with the doctor.
I kept walking in the hallway searching each room for Travis or anything that could tell me where he was, I really hoped that he had the spare key and that it wasn't inside a dinosaur's stomach.
I walked into something that seemed like an office and the first thing I saw was a dead body lying on the floor, the body was face down and it was missing a right arm. I rolled the corpse over to see that it was a woman and her entire chest had been cracked opened I looked at her face and saw that she had a terrified look on her face, she was probably ambushed by a raptor an just saw it before she got instantly killed, poor girl. I felt very sorry for her but I knew that there was nothing I could do for her. I looked at her nametag and saw that she was one of the head researchers, which meant she had access to the more restricted areas of the facility.
I looked at her face and whispered "Rest in peace." Before I checked her pockets and found her key card, it felt strange to take something from someone dead but there wasn't much else I could do and I needed the access.
"Caleb, I got access to the restricted areas, any luck on finding Travis?" I said over my comm radio.
"No, haven't seen anyone yet but I'm still checking the outside cameras." He responded.
"Any sign of the Gail or Cooper?" I asked.
"I've found Cooper, or what's left of him. I saw it on a camera, he is dead. Something ripped him in half." Caleb said.
"That's a horrible way to die." I said shocked over what I just heard.
"Yeah, all that's left from him is from the waist down and his head everything else is gone." Caleb said. "The doctor threw up when she saw the monitor." He continued.
"Any idea what killed him?" I asked.
"Probably the dinosaurs." Caleb responded.
"How about the prisoners? Any signs from them?" I asked since right now they were a bigger threat to me than the dinosaurs.
"Nothing yet but I'm still checking, I'll let you know when I see them." Caleb said and then I continued walking the empty hall.
It was quiet, for a while it felt like I was in a horror movie.
I kept walking until I reached the end of the hallway, I heard something from outside, this time it was a different noise than the raptors did this was more of a scream then a hiss so I got concerned over what this could be. I took a few deep breaths to clear my mind, whatever it was it was probably very far away so it was nothing I needed to think about now.
I opened the door and once I entered the next room I saw Tom standing there, he saw me and started to run so I grabbed my gun and fired a warning shot right next to his foot, making him stop.
He turned to me and raised his hands above his head and I walked slowly towards him.
"It look like you've caught me." He said with the same smirk on his face.
"I guess I got lucky." I said, this time I wasn't going to act too fast and give him an edge over me.
"Very brave but foolish young girl." He said.
"I could just shoot you right here and now, I would do the world a favor." I said.
"Yes, but sadly for you, you're not going to get that chance." Tom said as I reached for something I could use to tie his wrists.
"What are you…?" I said when I suddenly felt a gun pressed against the back off my head.
"As you see, I expected something like this to happen, that's why Emily was hiding over there as an insurance policy." He said still smirking.
"Drop your gun." Emily said.
I let go off my gun, it landed right next to my left foot.
"Good Girl Scout. Now kick it away." Emily said and I did as she told me.
"Good, now play nice girls." Tom said and laughed like he had something twisted in mind.
"Fuck you!" I shouted to Tom.
"Well maybe not so nice then." Tom said and nodded, before I had anytime to notice the nod Emily hit the back of my head with the gun.
"He told you to behave, Girl Scout." Emily said but I could tell that there was some remorse in her voice.
"Now, you're going to help me and my minions get of the island, say that you're going to do it or I will order Emily to shoot you." Tom said.
"Listen you mother fucker I'm not… ouch." Before I had any chance to finish that sentence Emily hit me in the back off my head again.
"Watch your language or she'll keep doing that." Tom said.
"Oh yeah? Go fu…" this time I grabbed Emily's wrist as she was about to hit me, I punched her ribs with my other hand and she dropped her gun on the floor.
Tom looked shocked as I walked up towards him but once I was about to tell him to give up I got tackled to the ground by Emily.
"Get her, I'll meet up with you later!" I heard Tom yell as he ran away.
Emily got up and glared frustrated at me, I know that there was no chance I could talk her down now, she was going to fight me.
I got back up and Emily ran towards me throwing a few punches that I blocked easily, but when I was going to punch her I could see that she was almost crying as it is, like she didn't wanted to fight me.
I took two steps back and Emily looked confused at me.
Then she ran up to me and kept throwing punches, now she was furious it was like her mood changed in just seconds but I wasn't going to hurt her, there was something about that look in her eyes that said she didn't wanted to do this.
I blocked another right hook she threw at me, this time I grabbed her wrist with my hand and held on tight so she couldn't get out of my grip. I looked into her eyes as she tried to shake her hand lose from my grip.
"Let go of me!" She yelled.
"I know you don't want to do this." I said.
Emily tried to hit me again but I just grabbed her other wrist and turned her around so she was standing with her back against me.
She started to struggle and squirm to break free.
"I know you're not a bad person." I said and Emily was now crying, she started to kick but since I made her facing away from me she couldn't kick me.
"You know nothing about me!" She shouted.
"Well then tell me" I said and Emily kept struggling to break free but I had her in a very tight grip, she couldn't break free but I wasn't hurting her.
"All you claimed good guys think you're so great because you get to kill the once that has no choice other than to be villains, I had seen people getting killed by army guys just for trying to make a living." Emily cried.
"It's not that simple…" I said but that enraged Emily and she started to kick and try to break my grip on her.
"That's what you always say but it is, when you fists saw me and the others holding the doctor you would have shot me if I hadn't dropt my weapon, I never wanted things to go that far but that doesn't matter to you army men, you just see what's going on at the moment and mark the persons as bad guys!" Emily cried.
"I don't like to kill people. I've been forced to defend myself and it has ended in casualties and every time it ended like that I've always wanted to rewind time and try to change what had happened, but I can't. I live with the choices I've made, all the times I've been forced to kill in self-defense and I feel terrible about that and I spend every day trying to make something right but I never get that luxury." I said then I let go of Emily.
She took a few steps back and grabbed her machete ready to keep fighting.
"Most times someone sees me they want to open fire at me, I've been ambushed so many times I lost count, the other countries sees me and they mark me as their enemy just because I'm an American elite soldier." I said and Emily dropt her machete and walked up and hugged me.
She started to cry on my shoulder. "It's ok." I said as I patted Emily on her back.
"I'm so sorry Girl Scout." Emily said.
"It's ok." I said and after we broke the hug I reached down and picked up mine and Emily's gun.
"Here." I said and tried to hand Emily her gun. She just picked up the machete and said.
"You keep it, it's out of ammo anyway." She said and I checked the magazine and I saw she was right, the gun had no bullets.
"You threatened me with an empty gun?" I said very shocked that I had fallen for that.
"Yes, Tom said if I let him do most of the talking you'd believe the gun was loaded." Emily said and laughed a little.
"Well hold on to it anyway, we might find bullets somewhere." I said.
"I promise you, that I'll get you of the island and that it won't be in chains." I said and Emily looked at me smiling.
"Thank you, Girl Scout." She said with a giggle.
