Chapter 10: Yellowstone Park All Over Again
Walking along the streets after a long walk, they finally took a break. Violet looked up and saw that the sky was still sunny and bright, despite everything happening. "It's interesting that the day would have been completely normal. It's only been a few hours since it all started. Yet even after all that, this day may end up starting over."
"Well," Charlie replied. "Things are looking good, though. We're almost at the end, and we can't say this is over just yet."
Mike warned, "Though we must continue being vigilant. We have several creatures to watch out for-"
Veruca interrupted, "Then there's our other problem," pointing at Van Pelt emerging from the forest. They started running as Van Pelt shot at them.
He started running and shooting at the same time. Everybody did their best to avoid him, but he was tracking their every move. It was getting very dangerous as they tried to avoid getting shot. When they had the opportunity, they would hide behind cars for cover. Eventually, they saw that he ran out of ammo (again).
"Charlie, its your turn!" Violet exclaimed. "Maybe you should roll! It worked last time you did it."
Charlie nodded and put the game down. He grabbed the dice and was rolling. Mike noticed Van Pelt put up his gun, so he shouted, "Oh no, you don't!" He threw a rock at his face and grabbed the gun. Both struggled for the gun as Charlie rolled a 7. He read the message with haste...
"You're getting close, but you're going to be slowed,
because the ground is about to explode!"
Mike noticed the ground was heating where he stood, so he let go. As Van Pelt raised his gun, a geyser exploded under him. They used the opportunity to run.
Veruca said, "Geysers don't seem so bad."
Mike informed her, "You do realize steam can go up to 212 degrees, which can cook you from the inside-out?"
Veruca got wide-eyed and ran faster. The explosions were jumping about sporadically, which they tried hard to dodge. An explosion triggered under Veruca's feet, burning her legs. Charlie lifted her onto his back and ran with her. After a while, the geysers became less frequent, and they were closer to the house. They took the opportunity to rest again.
That's the chapter! Next chapter will be short, but the chapter after will be longer. There are 3 chapters left after this, so stay tuned and have a great day!
