Jimmy awoke at Jack's shaking, and immediately broke down at the thought of losing Mr. Hayes. He wasn't allowed to mourn for long as lots of absolutely huge cricket-like things came out from various holes on the walls and on the ravine floor. They jumped on various members of the party, including Jack. Jimmy grabbed a gun and began shooting at the bugs. After many members of the party were lost, and more bugs started to surround them, shooting came from the top of the ravine. Jimmy looked up and saw Englehorn, Bruce, and some other sailors wielding guns and shooting at the insects. Ropes were let down and the rest of the party prepared to climb it.

"Jack," Jimmy said softly to him. "Brie's still out there."

"Jimmy…"

"I know she's still out there. We have to find her."

Jack gave him a look that said he wasn't too keen on looking for her, so Jimmy said what he had to say.

"If it was Ann out there, wouldn't you do everything in your power to go find her?"

Jack sighed. Of course he would. "Alright, you go back with the others and I'll go and find her."

"No. I'm coming with you."

"It's too dangerous, Jimmy!"

"I don't care! I want to get Brie back!"

Jack saw he was fighting a losing battle. He tossed a rope up the other side of the wall and let Jimmy go ahead of him.

Once they finally reached the top, they heard, "Jimmy! Driscoll! Don't be fools! Give it up, it's useless! She's dead!"

"No, she's not!" Jimmy screamed back.

They saw Carl and Englehorn talking for a while, and then Carl turned back towards them.

"Look after yourselves!" he called.

"Keep the gate open!" Jack called back.

Jimmy and Jack set off to go find Brie, Jimmy's determination leading him ahead of Jack. He wasn't going to lose the woman he loved. Especially not at the hand of the thing that killed his mentor.

After much travel, the sun started going down, creating a beautiful sunset. Kong gently took me off his shoulder and put me back on the ground. We were on a ledge that overlooked the entire island and made me a bit dizzy. I looked up at Kong and he looked tired and worn out. That was understandable, considering what he just went through trying to protect me.

I started to dance a little bit like I had before to try to get another smile out of him. I ended up being so intent on trying to make him laugh that I misstepped and actually fell over. I saw Kong flinch a little, but he quickly turned away when he saw I was fine.

I smiled. "I got your attention, didn't I?" He refused to look at me. "You're a stubborn gorilla, aren't you?" We both looked out at the sunset. "It's beautiful," I remarked. I loved this part. It was so cute how Kong and Ann connected. I just hope I could make the same connection. I knew I needed a sign for beautiful, but I hated what Ann did. She pointed to herself, which seemed completely conceited to me. So instead, I did the sign language for "beautiful." I put my hand up to my face, closed my fingers, then opened them again.

"Beautiful," I whispered as I did so. I did the sign again and whispered "beautiful."

Kong outstretched his palm near me, and I climbed into it. He just held me there as we looked out at the sky. I hugged my knees to my chest, and I felt no fear. Only security.

The sunset slowly disappeared and turned to a navy blue sky, speckled with bright stars.

My eyes began to droop. I realized that I hadn't gotten a peaceful sleep in a few days, not to mention I was exhausted from running from V-Rexes.

Kong must've noticed my fatigue because he lifted up his hand. On instinct, I grabbed onto his fingers to keep from falling. He gently lifted me up and laid me on his arm where I could sleep. He felt so soft and my tiredness heightened. I closed my eyes and drifted quickly into one of the best sleeps I'd ever had.

I'm not sure what made me wake up, but I stirred in the middle of my sleep. It took my drowsy, sleep-deprived eyes a second to see that Jimmy and Jack were in front of me. I felt such relief, knowing that I wasn't going to be stuck here forever. I was also happy that Jimmy was here. I knew he must be really tired and terribly sad at the moment, but he was still here.

"Jimmy," I just barely whispered, worried that Kong would hear me.

"Brie," he mouthed back.

Jack held Jimmy back and started to walk towards me. I knew Kong was going to wake up the second he touched me, but I couldn't help myself. I reached for his hand and sure enough, Kong's eyes snapped open.

He roughly wrapped his hand around me and yanked me back. I felt the wind knocked out of me.

"Jimmy! Jack! RUN!" I screamed.

Jimmy took his rifle and prepared to shoot but I screamed for him not to. Jack knocked the rifle out of his hand.

These bat-like creatures swarmed Kong and he put me down in an attempt to fight back. His large body managed to separate me and the guys. I kept trying to find an opening, but Kong kept blocking me.

Finally I decided to just risk it and ran through, dodging Kong's moves. I crashed into Jimmy and hugged him tightly, so thankful to see him again. Jack pulled the both of us away and attempted to find a way to get us down the cliff while Kong was busy fighting the bat-things.

Jack grabbed a vine and tied it around all of our waists. Then he began to lower Jimmy and me and then lowered himself down. But it didn't take long for Kong to notice our absence and he began to pull the vine back up.

A bat-thing flew by us and clawed at Jack's face. He quickly grabbed onto its talon and used a knife to chop the vine Jimmy and I were tied to. The bat-thing sank because of the weight but miraculously managed to hang onto all three of us.

Jack released the talon as we sailed over a river and we all dropped in. I felt a hand grab mine and I was pulled up by Jimmy. We all swam as fast as we could and finally landed on the bank. Then Jimmy grabbed my hand again and we took off running to the village.

I fell at one point and in order to keep us moving, Jimmy swept me up in his arms and carried me the rest of the way. I hated it because it's what happened to Ann in the 1933 version and it made her look even weaker than she already was. But at the same time, I felt close to Jimmy. I had never been this close to a guy before, except for when he carried me to my cabin, and it felt good. He put me down when we got to the bamboo posts at the altar. The memories flooded back to me all at once. The fear, the panic, the exhaustion, all of it.

The posts were in the air to the point where we couldn't cross the chasm to get to the village.

"Carl!" Jack screamed.

"Please help!" I screamed. I knew very well that they were there. Carl was just waiting for Kong to be close enough so he could capture him.

"Have they gone?" Jimmy asked crestfallen.

"No," I answered a little too quickly. "I know they're there."

I heard a scream from the other side of the wall and the bridge suddenly dropped. The three of us ran hopped across it as Kong came closer and closer. He appeared from the jungle and hopped onto the wall and tried to break in as I went through the door.

"Brie?" I heard.

I looked over and saw Ann running to me. Our bodies crashed into each other and we hugged tightly.

"I'm so glad you're okay!" she said. "I thought I'd lost you!"

"No, I'm okay!"

But when I looked around, what I saw terrified me. Everyone was ready to capture Kong with nets and chloroform.

"No," I whispered. Ann hadn't been able to prevent his capture, but maybe I could. But I didn't get a chance to do anything before Kong crashed through the gate and the nets were dropped and chloroform was thrown.

"No!" I screamed. I started to run toward him, but Jimmy and Ann held me back.

"He'll kill you, Brie!" Jimmy said.

"No, he won't! He's protected me from everything on this island! Now I need to protect him!"

I started to run to him again, but Jimmy held me back once again. "Let go of me," I said defiantly. He looked at me for a second and then began pulling me to the ship once again. "No, don't!" I screamed, knowing what would happen if he did so.

Kong's eyes locked on mine and he threw the net off him angrily. Jimmy kept dragging me to the boat, as much as I fought.

"Stop! Please Jimmy!"

"I don't want to lose you too!"

"You won't! He just wants me back! That's all! I can stop all of this!"

Before long, the rest of the sailors were running to get in the boats, and Kong was hot on their heels.

Jimmy actually picked me up and put me in the lifeboat, then climbed in himself and held onto me. Ann climbed in after him and grabbed me as well as Englehorn hopped in after us.

"Please stop!" I cried to him.

"Get out of his sight!" he yelled back.

"Don't hurt him! He just wants me! Just let me go to him!"

Carl threw a bottle of chloroform on him and Englehorn fired his harpoon. As Kong started to go unconscious, he reached out for me. With tears in my eyes, I wrenched myself out of Jimmy's grasp and got out of the boat, dodging Jimmy and Englehorn's arms. I ran up to him and put my very small hand in his. I touched his face, and whispered to him, "I'm so sorry. I didn't want this to happen."

He growled in acknowledgement before finally falling unconscious. Tears leaked out of my eyes. I felt a soft touch on my shoulders and saw Jimmy and Ann reaching for me. They gently tore me away from Kong and I was led back to the ship.
