Chapter Three: Discoveries
Alan, Ellie, and Ian walked along the beach, looking for any survivors they could find. Half the time they only found parts of people, while the other half they, thankfully, found actual people. Their group was about fifty now and they still had quite a bit of walking left to do. Ellie feared that some of the people might have gone into the woods looking for food, only to become food themselves. She shuddered at the thought and walked on; holding the hand on a little five year old girl who'd lost her mother during the night on the beach.
Ian looked down, the tide was changing from high to low and little puddles were being left behind. The water had tiny ripples in it. At first Ian didn't know what to think, but then the ripples appeared again. Ian was slightly surprised, raising his eyebrows. He tapped Ellie on the shoulder, watching the ripples appear and disappear again.
Ellie looked over at Ian. "What?" She asked.
"Watch the puddles, uh, remember Jurassic Park? Doesn't that look familiar?" Ian said, pausing. "Ellie…those are impact tremors." He said. "We're in more trouble than we feared."
Ellie's eyes grew wide. "Where's Alan?" She asked, looking around. She saw him and handed the little girl to Ian. "Ian, take her. I need to talk to Alan." Ian nodded, picking the girl up and watching Ellie run off.
Ellie ran over to Alan. "Alan!" She yelled as she ran. "Alan, there's impact tremors! This isn't good, Alan. He bred land dinosaurs too." Ellie said, in-between breaths.
"Oh Lord, what did he make this time?" Alan asked, mainly to himself. He glanced over at the puddle, the impact tremors were increasing now, at the point where you could feel your insides shake.
"I don't know, but whatever it is…it's coming this way." Ellie said, her voice filled with fear.
