They soon came upon some vending machines.
"Who's got some change? It only takes quarters." Piped up Paul
"I gotta buck… I gotta buck ten." He stammered pulling some money from his pocket and counting it. There was a loud crash and scream, as Billy karate kicked one of the vending machines, shattering the glass. He reached in, smiling to himself as he pulled out a handful of wrapped food for everyone. Paul stood there for a second a little dumbfounded and slightly annoyed that he didn't come up with that idea. When everyone had cleared off, he himself tried kicking the one he was in front of. It didn't break. It even looked like it was made of plastic instead of glass.
He put his leg down and bent over groaning. Definitely pulled something. He limped off to catch up with everyone. They soon walked into a room and climbed down the stairs. Alan knew what it was right away. There were abandoned incubators with broken shells everywhere. Some with the lids down, others broken, and some with no lids at all. The mechanical arms that were meant to rotate the eggs long since dead. Amanda stopped in front of them, picking up one of the shells.
"So this is how you make dinosaurs?" she said out loud.
"No… this is how you play God." Alan responded. Billy started snapping photos while everyone else looked around. Alan watched the kids; a small trace of happiness filled him that they were experiencing this. But God did he want to get them off this island, before something awful happened.
It was at that moment that he noticed the large bruise on Maddie's temple.
"Madeline when did you get that?" He asked. He walked over and reached out to tilt her head to see it better, but she quickly moved away from his hand.
"Don't…it hurts…" Alan was concerned.
"Do you feel dizzy?"
"Yeah, ever since we stopped running and the Rex found us. That's why I had to hold onto you. It hasn't stopped hurting." She said. She began to walk, but stumbled and hit the floor with her knees.
"Madeline." Alan said, rushing to catch her. She fell back into his arms, her eyes rolling into the back of her head, the color draining from her face. Billy looked over when he heard Alan say her name and now rushed to the young girl's side as well.
"Maddie, listen to me. You need to stay awake. Stay with me alright?" he said to her. Maddie's eyes flitted back open.
"Alan…" she sat back up and threw up onto the floor.
"Alan, what's-"
"She has a concussion, a pretty good ne from the looks of it. We need to get out of here.
"Let me take her." Billy offered.
"No, I got her."
A scream suddenly echoed through the room from where Amanda was standing, along with another noise. A full grown Velociraptor was lunging toward her. Everyone fled the room at the sight of the creature. Alan was the last one out as he scooped Maddie into his arms and ran. They turned down a hallway lined with cages. Paul was ahead of them all, pulling on a door that could lead out, but of course, it was locked. The raptor was now caught up to them. There was a brief stare down before they all scattered in different directions. Paul, Udesky, Luke, Alan and Maddie quickly locked themselves in one cage, as the raptor ran full speed towards them.
But it bypassed the large group and headed straight for Billy, Amanda and Brayden. They had only just closed the cage door when the animal slammed itself against it, pushing it inward until the three of them were pinned into a corner of the cage. The raptor bit fiercely at the door, trying to get at them, while the other group tried to get its attention, making as much noise as possible. It was completely unphased. It soon stopped its biting and slowly glanced upwards. The boys and Amanda followed its stare to an opening at the top where the door and the wall didn't meet. Realization hit as the raptor placed its foot, followed by the other on the door and started to climb.
Amanda took control yelling at Billy and Brayden to push, and collectively they pushed the door all the way until it was against the other wall, trapping the creature. Locking it and running back down the hallway, the other group soon followed, but Alan, still holding Maddie lagged behind. The raptor was shrieking.
Alan…come on." Maddie said weakly.
"Oh my god. It's calling for help." He said in wonderment. Paul pulled him from his discovery, and he put Maddie down.
"You're gonna have to run. I know it's hard but I can't carry you and get us out of here. Don't let go of me."
