Okay, I've really been losing track of time. I only just started this chapter on THANKSGIVING EVE!! I'm very sorry for keeping everyone waiting for so long, but I'm not really the most responsible person in the world, so I should stop trying to explain it and get right to the story. Also, any chance I could get more reviews?

No review responses this time, because I didn't get ANY freaking Reviews!

TNI Chapter 4: Time of the munchies. (?)
John sees something move in one of the bushes and says, "What was that?" David looks in the direction John was looking in, but doesn't see anything there. "What was what?" John quickly looks at David, then the bush again and doesn't see anything moving anymore. "Uh, nothing, I guess. Sorry, I coulda sworn I saw something moving." David's father is the next one to get out of the plane, and is soon followed by Jamie and Julie. Alex decides to go looking for the pilot and walks over to what used to be the cockpit, while the others look for some sort of path or vehicle that they could use to get around. After searching for a few minutes, they decided that they were going to have to travel through the strange jungle on foot. Alex then comes back and tells them, "Well, I think that the guy who piloted this wreck is dead, since the whole cockpit is split in half." Upon saying the word 'wreck', Alex kicked the side of the plane, for emphasis. David's dad then says "We aren't going to get anywhere by standing here. We should probably get moving before something else happens to us." He then leads the group past some of the trees which lead to even more trees.
After nearly an hour of walking without too much trouble, the group finally comes across a small creek in the middle of the forest and quickly head towards it to get a drink, paying no mind to the other 'patrons' at the other side of the creek. After getting enough water back into his system, John begins paying attention to things besides the creek, including the fact that they weren't the only ones getting a drink. He looks to his left, noticing that there was something that wasn't human drinking from the creek water. It almost looked like a gallimimus. He then looked to the right, which had another non-humanoid creature drinking from that end of the creek, only this one looked more like a young triceratops. By this point, John was hoping that he was only delusional from the heat, but he realized that was not the case after splashing some water on his face. After everyone else had gotten a good drink from the creek, they too spot the dinosaurs drinking creek water. David began trying to talk, while trying to keep as quiet as possible. "What the hell is up with all of these dinosaurs?" Alex speaks up after calming down for a moment, "What the hell is up with InGen? Site B was more than enough for Dinosaurs to live on after being extinct for millions of years, but I guess they have another island to waste with their damn experiments." They all look at Alex for a few seconds before turning back to the dinosaurs near the creek. After about two minutes, David says, "Those dinosaurs are herbivores, so they shouldn't hurt us. I think we should keep moving." The others agree with David and began crossing the creek.
After a few more hours, and multiple dinosaur sightings, the group takes a much needed rest in a dense part of the forest. Julie sits down in front of a tree trunk and begins complaining about her feet. Alex sits down and begins looking at the surrounding area, hoping to find some hint as to where they are, or something they could use. David decides to go scouting around for any kind of building or facility that InGen may have put on the island. Everyone else decides to try and rest for awhile. David makes his way through more trees, trying to find something InGen may have built, but doesn't find anything of interest besides a few dinosaur nests. He decides to turn back, thinking that it's the best thing to do at the moment. After taking a few steps back, he hears what sounds like a twig snapping under someones', or somethings' foot. David stops walking and looks around to make sure he isn't hearing things, but doesn't see anything moving or hear anything trying to get around. After a few seconds, he finally hears something running up behind him. Without a second thought, he starts running full speed back to the others, but a sudden and great pain in his back causes him to hit the ground after taking a few steps. David screams in pain, alerting the others that he's in trouble. They all look in the direction from which they heard David scream, and rush towards him and his attacker. Alex was the first one to see what was happening, and quickly motioned for the rest of the group to stop and stay as quiet as possible. He then quietly told them to get into the trees. He and the group quickly climbed two nearby trees until they ran out of branches to climb, and saw what Alex saw. Three Velociraptors had pinned David down and seemed to be waiting for something. After a few more seconds of waiting, two of the Velociraptors walk away from David, and hide behind a downed tree nearby, while the third one continues to look around for anything that may try to help their prey. After a few more seconds, the third Velociraptor hides with the others behind the tree.
Without thinking, David's father quickly climbed down the tree, regardless of what Alex had to say against it, and rushed over to his son. Without realizing it, he had been knocked down by two of the Velociraptors and was no doubt about to be killed by them. They had set a trap, and he fell right into it. (A/N: And this is where I continue again… In February! WTF!?) Alex begins climbing down the tree, but not for the same reason David's dad did. "John, Jamie, come with me." They both look at each other nervously for a moment, before agreeing and following him down the tree. Once they got off the tree, Alex quietly gives instructions to John and Jamie, who do their best to follow them exactly. After a few more seconds, Alex runs between the two trees everyone was hiding in and begins shouting to the Velociraptors, "Hey you stupid turkeys, you want a snack!? Then come get a piece of me!" Needless to say, it got their attention. Two of the raptors run right at Alex, and just before they make contact with him, he suddenly ducks and yells "NOW!" Before anyone knew it, the raptors were hit with two large branches from the trees, sending the Velociraptors to the ground. After a few seconds, the raptors get back up and start walking away, looking for a hunt that doesn't hunt back. Seeing as the kids now outnumbered the third raptor by four to one, it decided to go with the other two. With the Velociraptors out of the way, they all rush over to David and his father, hoping that they're both okay. David had a pretty bad mark in his back that seemed to pass his spine. Luckily though, it didn't seem to go into any of his organs or other vital areas, so he should be okay. His dad, however, was not so lucky. Since the Velociraptors already had David to use as bait for the others, they decided to pass up on using both of them and took a bite out of the older human first. Alex was the first to speak about this. "Well, this can't be good. What are we supposed to do about this? Jamie starts looking around, seeing that David was beginning to wake up. "You may want to figure that out quickly, unless you actually want David to see what happened."
