Chapter 11
The group walked out onto the deck, scanning the water for movement. Alan, Paul, Ian, and the captain began fumbling with the tarp, so it would stay closed. Meanwhile, the rest of the group kept lookout.
"Hurry up you guys, I think I see movement," said Eric tensely. Everyone looked where he was pointing as the fin of the Spinosaurus broke out of the water, closely followed by its head. Everyone stood stock still as the beast roared, and looked straight at them.
"Inside!" Billy yelled, pulling the door open. Once again, everyone ran in and they shut the door just in the nick of time. There was a sudden ripping sound just outside the door. "The meat!" Paul yelled. They had just lost their only hope of all getting off the boat safely.
"Now what are we going to do?" Ellie asked the group half an hour later. The Spinosaurus had just finished eating the meat, tarp and all. "Wait till it eats the ship," Malcolm answered sarcastically. "We can't just wait here and die," said Lex, with a look of deep concentration on her face.
Suddenly there was a great splash, and two thunderous roars. The group all ran to a port window, and what they saw amazed them.
