Also content warning gets graphic!
A large wooden table sits within the center of a dimly lit room, animal skulls and hides decorate the grey stone walls, the only light produced is from a large fireplace and the golden hues of candles giving off a rather eerie aura.
At the snap of his fingers a man dressed in plates of scarred and scratched armour received a full glass of wine, promptly putting the glass down and taking off his helmet.
The man was rather lean, and appeared to be no older than in his twenties or early 30's, but despite his rather rough skin, his slick brown hair was styled in a rather fancy manner. His eyes locked onto a sheet of old yellowish paper that appeared to be a map of some sorts,hearing a knock at the door yet still keeping his focus on the map,he speaks
"Come in." Told the man
Unlike the first, the guy that entered had a gruff voice and face. With a body built like a truck.
"Sir, I'm sorry for intruding on you, but I have news from the scouts." told the bulky man.
"Is it about the event from two days ago." Asked the man still focused on the map
"Yes, sir…" replied the man walking closer to the table and handing the reports to the scarred man who looked through them briefly.
"According to the scouts there are 300 to 500 new survivors spread out to nearly every shoreline, in fact some have even started exploring into the forests. But judging by their clothes they appear to be nothing more than students of some school. I sug-"
"If I wanted to hear your opinion on the matter I would put you on my delegation, is that clear?" scorned the man breaking his focus looking at him dead in the eyes.
"My mistake." Replied the man breaking as cold sweat while awaiting a response.
Even though he was far taller and larger, he seemed scared of angering the man with the scarred armour.
"It's alright, now do you have any more news?." Responded man
"Im done Sir." Told the big man still breaking a cold sweat.
The man took one last drink of his wine before placing the glass down next to the map. Walking up to a window looking at the massive obelisk that illuminates the now dark island.
"We never get this many new survivors." The man looks at the massive structure puzzled and whispers "What are you planning?"
"Sir?"asked the burly man.
His boss looked at the man with a smirk.
"The obelisks have graced us with some new 'neighbors',what's the harm in that?" Asked the man
"Then, should I send recruiters,Sir domicus?" asked the burly man with seriousness prevalent in his voice.
"No….Not yet." replied Domicus A idea seemingly creeping into his mind.
"For the time being, send the scouts a message. Tell them to keep watch on the groups and to not intervene no matter what, let nature sort out the weak for us." told The man
"Right away Sir." Replied the man walking out of the room leaving domicus alone with thoughts dwelling in his mind.
The man looked at the Obelisk and asked a simple question.
"What are you plotting?" thought Dominicus while staring intently at the obelisk.
-scene-
Chris laid on the coarse sandy ground of the beach for most of the night, dreading the day to come, but even though his mind did not want to sleep his body had to. Drifting into unconsciousness as the golden hue of the sun peered over the water.
Chris awoke to a sharp pain to the side of his face, his mind racing to find what or who? Hit him.
"Please don't take me, I'm sorry!" Begged Chris.
"Dude what are you talking about?" laughed Judas
Luckily for Chris, Judas decided not to ask more about Chris's unusual statement as he was just having a nightmare.
Chris was happy to see his friend but after the sudden jolt of relief from the realization that it was, in fact not someone coming to kill him but was Judas, however his mind soon was flooded with a wave of paranoia crept over him.
"Judas what are you doing here?" questioned Chris, having a weird feeling about him.
"I was just asking you if you wanted to get some breakfast, some kid called Patrick cooked it for everyone." Judas asked his friend squatting down to get eye to eye with the young man
The cool ocean breeze fluttered through Chris's short hair as he weighed his options and eventually made his mind up that he would go get some food then, well that's really where his mind left him, alone and with no answer of what to do after he gets food. He really just wanted to just run as far away as possible but that wouldn't work,not without getting caught. He also reasoned just waiting until night then sneaking out while everybody was asleep but once again he figured that without a way to see in the night he would surely become dino food before he made any sort of distance from the camp.
His body began to shake as slowly the realization that no matter what he did, he was just a cornered animal with nowhere to go.
"Alright i'll take you up on your offer." Said the young man with a cautious smile.
"Great!"proclaimed Judas Clapping after he spoke, standing up extending his hand for Chris.
The sand crunched as the two walked towards the campfire, The burning wood adding a sweltering heat to the already scorching sunlight, sweat dripping slowly down the brow of the students as they waited in line.
The two waited in the line awkwardly as neither of the two talked to each other, but seeing the line not moving very fast, Judas decided to get some sort of conversation started.
"So are you going to tell me about that little outburst you had this morning?" Questioned Judas
Chris looked at Judas searching for any sort of look for malicious intent , but found none. Only the face of a friend that actually cared and was genuinely concerned about him. Even with his suspicion disproven, it changed nothing. His mind kept thinking about what would happen if he brought him into this,
"would they kill him too? Just for knowing my side of the story?" thought Chris.
The young man had to think about some sort of reason if he wanted to keep him out of his problem.
"Listen this is a bit embarrassing but I kinda had a really bad nightmare last night. So if we could just please move on it would be much appreciated." Asked Chris in a low sorrowful voice
"All right. Well if you don't want to talk about something I'm not going to force you to, just don't hesitate to tell me something if you feel like talking, allright?"
This response shocked Chris for a second, not believing that someone would just drop a topic like that ,usually all the people he talked to kept pushing and pushing until they got an answer from him. Letting out a long sigh thankful he didn't push the topic further.
"Thanks man." Told Chris with smile
"No problem, my mom always used to say 'Never push a conversation too far, or risk falling off with it. 'But I guess I'll never get to hear her say that again though.' " said Judas with a look of pure sorrow but still managed to crack a smile, not wanting to ruin the mood.
The line moved up to the point where the two grabbed their small serving of breakfast served on leaf plates cut in a rough circle, sitting down on a dead log that was facing the beautiful view of the ocean with the sunrise just cresting over the horizon.
"So Chris I don't think i've ever heard you talk about your parents before. What do they do?" Asked jude
"Well to put it bluntly my mom works a 9-5 at a Denny's bussing tables for a living. But she's never really at home and when she is at home she smells like alcohol. she does have her good moments where she is actually nice, but those are rare." Told Chris nonchalantly
"And what about your dad?" asked Jude
Judas looked up at his friend and saw his body trembling and his eyes looking blankly into the sand.
"Aye man I didn't know, I won't ask about it again." Told Jude trying to back off the subject.
Chris waved his hand and said.
"No you're right man it's about time I told you anyways." told Chris still in a low scuffed
"So when I was about 7 or so my dad shipped out to marine boot camp and graduated with top marks when I turned 8, but for those couple of days when he was home Those were some of the best days of my life with laughter being something of a prevalent commodity."
"That was until he was shipped out to Iraq for his first tour, For 3 and a half years I never saw him, never heard from him, never got written to. It was like he was just gone, that was until one day I heard a knock and the door and guess who it was?" Asked Chris
"Your dad?" responded Judas
"yup , it was my dad, standing there like a phantom in a dark hallway, of course I thought I would never see him again and as you could imagine we hugged and got to talking about all the things he missed but it wasn't the same dad I had known before he shipped out. But hey war changes people right? But anyways he was a lot more strict now, I won't go into further detail but just know he was VERY strict. But there were some fun times with him , those fun times were when we went hunting." said Chris.
"He was always a lot calmer when he was in the woods , maybe it was the gentle breeze going through the fall leaves , or just the isolation from his normal life." told Chris, ending abruptly and staring off into the sand
"If you don't mind me asking, what else did you do?" asked Judas while munching on some berries
"We would go on these trips every other weekend , and while we were there he would teach me lessons on life, hunting, and just overall giving me some nice knowledge that I still use today
"If you knew all of this, why haven't you been using any of this?" asked Judas puzzled.
"I don't know my memory has been kind of fuzzy recently, so I didn't really remember how to do all the things he taught me, plus a bunch of other memories I had."
"Dang sounds like you had quite the experience growing up, So where's your dad now?"
The scorching heat of the sun was nothing compared to the look of burning focus Chris was giving Judas as he talked.
"Listen man I've already told you what you wanted, so how about you tell me about your parents." Angrily proclaimed Chris
"Hey man just relax, I didn't know." Told Judas in a calming voice
"It's..Fine just talk." Responded the young man
"To start out though my mother used to be a lawyer until One fateful day when she was attacked by one of the people she was prosecuting , this guy was an easy 260 LBS with tattoos everywhere and quite literally charged at her and hit her so hard that he broke about 6 of her ribs and a host of other injuries that I can't remember the names of, which left her hospitalized for weeks."
"When she was being released, the doctor that was treating her gave me a bottle of painkillers and told me to give her 1 pill whenever the pain was unbearable. Of course I didn't listen very well and just gave my mom the bottle and told her what the doctor told me. Then before I know it, 2 weeks have gone by and she has gone through three bottles.."
"So of course I decide to confront her about her taking to many, and well lets just say before the pills, she would talk with this sweet voice and convince me she was in so much pain, so I got her more pills until..
"She died from an overdose devastating my dad who had been trying so hard to get money to the family."
"but a couple days after mom died he walked in my room and gave me a heart to heart lasting hours were we talked about everything, from life to girls, and school. When he left though, he gave me this haunting smile and said 'I love you kiddo, don't you ever forget that.' Those.. Were his last words to me before he killed himself"
"The last thing I remember before waking up in an orphanage is the sight of my dad holding a picture of all of us with blood splattered all over."
"Damn man, I'm so sorry for your loss." responded Chris
"Thanks man, means a lot." Responded Judas with tears dripping down his face.
"But hey. now at least I have a chance to make a life for myself here." told Judas while wiping his eyes.
"Wait you dont want to go back?" Asked Chris confused
"Go back to what? My dead beat family that blames me for my moms death, or oh here's one, maybe the life full of constant Stress? No, I'm better off here." told Judas solemnly.
Chris apologized for bringing it up and just spent the remaining time just eating and looking at the beautiful ocean that was IN front of him.
However looking out of the sea eating the remaining food from the now past breakfast, Judas was pulled away by a student who brought him to a group of the people he saw around the campfire last night.
A rush of the suppressed fear came rushing back to Chris thinking about what to do and when to do it. Waiting for Judas to get back to ask him a faithful question.
"Who's going?" asked Chris with a subtle tone of fear in his voice.
"Ashley, Chad, Pontius, and some kid named Steve who begged to come with us.
Chris grabbed Jude by his degraded shirt and walked him away from the camp and the other people to speak with him, which Jude was not happy about.
"Chris, what are you doing?" said Judas with anger clearly in his voice
"I'm gonna sound crazy but last night I overheard Ashley, Steve, Pontius and some other kid talking about how they're going to kill me because I'm apparently a waste of resources even though I do most of the work in this place and because they believe if they just throw me out ill come back to kill them." Told Chris with anxiety in his voice.
"Are you sure that's what they actually said?" questioned Judas
"Yes, I'm sure! I was right there." Said Chris insulted
"Well, if that's the case we got to get out of here", said Judas
"We?" asked Chris
"Yeah, I've been getting these glares and death stares from people, so I assume if they're going after you I'm next, so let's just leave together." stated judas
"How are we going to just leave, we have no supplies?" asked Chris
Judas took a moment to think before answering Chris
"You said your dad taught you how to make tools and forage for food right?" proclaimed the friend.
"Well yeah kinda.." Responded Chris.
"Okay well then if he did why do we need supplies and tools?" Asked Judas
Chris looked up at Judas laughing and said.
"Well I guess I don't know what you bring that I think about it. I guess I just wanted something to hold me over until I make myself my own."
"That actually kind of makes sense, since it's easier to make new tools with old tools after all.
"Well then if we've agreed how are we going to be able to get some tools, I mean it's not like They're just going to let us take their tools, so how are we going to get that without them attacking us?"
"OK Once we start taking supplies if someone asks what we're doing, we say that the group that we were with needed tools, so we came to get some."
"Okay, you got the pla…"
Jude was interrupted by the sound of footsteps nearby. But he soon found out what it was or should I say who it was.
"Jude what are you doing!? We've been waiting on you!?" Asked Ashley
"Yeah, I'm coming. I was just asking Chris if he wanted to come." stated Jude
"Why would you want to take that thing with you!? It's just dead weight!" exclaimed Ashley
"Ashley, please just shut up, I'm coming." said Chris, Ashley laughs and walks off, sending a shiver down Chris's spine.
Jude rolled his eyes and spoke to Chris.
"Well, look on the bright side, we don't have to deal with that anymore.
The two of them laughed, grabbed a backpack and walked off to the waiting group. But Chris had to run back to grab his water bottle that mysteriously moved towards the campfire.
"Sorry, we're late." stated Jude
"No problem just don't do it again." Told Pontius
"Allrighty then let's get this show on the road!" stated Steve
The group of students went through the jungle to where they picked their berries last time, But it was at this point that a flaw in their plan showed.
"Okay, everyone get in pairs of two." stated Jude
"Can we not do three?" said Ashley
"You were fine with doing it last time, so what happened?" Asked Judas
Thinking ,Ashley spoke.
"Well I've been going out to gather some wood by myself and I have been seeing these footprints that weren't human, they had what I think are talons on them." Told Ashley trying to describe the foreign tracks.
"Were they big?" asked Steve
"kinda-it was about the size of my hand, but what's creepy to me is that its talons were about an inch and a half deep in the ground. So whatever that thing is we should take caution to come across it and that's why we should split up in 3!" Exclaimed
Chris and Jude attempted to argue the point but decided on giving up and letting whoever joins them do so.
"Ashley could I go with you? I swear I'll protect you with my life." begged Steve
"Well sorry boys but im afraid I'm going to have to pick Chris and Steve." Told Ashley with a smile
Chris stood there stunned at what just happened, hearing arguing in the background.
"What the hell, why would you pick HIM! Out of all of us!?" Shouted Chad
"Okay, I get Steve, but Chris!? Come on, he's not even strong, why would you want him?"
"Well, I feel he hasn't been active in things around here, so I'm giving him a chance to prove his worth." Told Ashley smiling.
During the conversation between Haley and the mad boys Chris was listening with shocked interest, Judas pulled Chris away to update the game plan.
"Chris, we have to do something!" Panicked Jude
"I know but were kind of screwed though." told Chris with a monotone voice
"All right I say we do what we were going to do originally but when we start picking berries we just go and meet up at camp."
"That's really the only option, but let's not steal from the camp."
"What do you mean!? They're going to kick us out anyways."
"What are you all doing get back over here!" proclaimed
"Well there are some good people there, so I don't want to mess them up too much." Told Chris
"You know what? Fine! The first opportunity you go to the rock and wait! Got it?" Whispered yelled Jude
Chris nodded his head and started to walk toward Steve and Ashley to get the gathering started.
It didn't take long for them to find the berries though, only walking a few feet. But in that short time it was enough for Chris to begin phase 1 of his plane.
Ashley told them to spread out, marking Chris' smile from excitement and relief.
Chris pushed through the dense Foliage taking short breaks to regain stamina.
The air was humid and was amplified by the heat of the island, he could smell the familiar scent of the sea and campfire smoke, but as he stood and smelled the air feeling a sense of relief as he realized the stress would be over after today.
His mind soon snapped out of this relaxing trace, as it realized that he had a mission to complete.
Chris ran towards the smell of smoke to get within sight of the camp when he took a drink from his water bottle, the taste was sweet, making Chris want to drink more, though he soon became unable to taste it as his mouth became numb.
"What's happening?" Chris thought to himself as his legs grew weak and his eyes heavy.
"Got to- get to camp" The young man thought, but was unable to complete this task He fell upon the forest floor, his eyes becoming too heavy to lift and embracing the all encompassing darkness, hearing faint footsteps and a giggle as he fell asleep.
-scene-
He awoke on a water covered floor with 2 figures, On the right was a hooded figure in a black robe and the one on the left a mirrored figure except with a white robe all holding a bell.
"Who are you?" asked Chris, confused.
The figures responded with the hit of the bell, fading into the darkness that surrounded the room..
"What's going on?" thought the young man
Loud laughter filled the now bright room as shadows of what looked like people but with inhuman grins pouted and laughed at the young man. Forming into a figure of a human the only features being pitch black bodies with white eyes and teeth.
The sound of laughter becoming progressively louder reaching a fever pitch. Driving Chris mad.
"Stop laughing!" Screamed Chris
There was no response in words, only the figures all widening their mouths so far that it would have easily broken the jaw of any human that tried to replicate. What was equally inhuman was the scream, oh the screams, they were the most frightening and alien things The young man had ever seen.
The figures ran after the young man when Chris laid his eyes upon them.
Chris ran his hardest, his legs so tired he could no longer run, turning around disappearing, the room was completely quiet, the only thing in the room now was a mirror.
He walked up to it, seeing his reflection, only problem was that as soon as he made eye contact with his reflection in the mirror, it broke in half leaving his body separated into the sides of the mirror.
The room continuously grew brighter until he opened his eyes to see two people dragging him.
"Who-who are you?" said Chris with a stutter
"Shut up, scum!" Yelled the student
"I didn't even do anything!" pleaded Chris
"Oh yeah then why did you attack Ashley?" asked the mysterious student
Chris looked at the person dragging him, the young man's face turned a bloodshot red as he realized who it was. (Steve)
"I knew you were going to try to take me!" anger filling his voice, leading to a fever pitch when he heard another voice.
"You are the stupidest person I've ever met or heard off." Told Ashley laughing
"I knew you all have been planning this from the get go, I had a plan to leave in everything but then…" Chris thought for a moment on how he passed out when drinking his water.
"YOU!" screamed Chris
"You put those Narcoberries in my bottle! Didn't you!?" screamed Chris
A wide grin formed on her face as she started laughing.
"It wasn't even that hard being honest." told Ashley laughing
"All we had to do is wait for you to fall asleep and fill your bottle with the juice from the berry." said Ashley
Chris looked at Ashley with a mighty rage Blatantly apparent on his blood-red face.
"So enjoy th-" Ashley was interrupted by Steve.
"Ashley, we're getting close, time to act." Told Steve
"You're a monster, why would you attack me!" Screamed Ashley
Chris was confused at first but saw cuts, scrapes, bruises, and more signs that they were attacked.
"You won't get away with it!" This proclaimed Chris trying to get out of the grasp of Steve but his body was still weak from the drugging, For this Steve promptly punched his face.
Ashley motioned for Steve to stop, when he did she got crouched down to his eye level and said.
"I've always hated you after you did what you did to my sister, and now we're going to get even. Oh, and we got your 'friend' oh what's his name um-." Said Ashley before being cut off.
"His name is Judas! You piece of degenerate filth!"
"Anyways, Yeah we caught him trying to escape and well.. And let's just say he's waiting on you.
"I'll kill you for this." Exclaimed Chris grinding his teeth while he talked
"You know you got a big mouth, let's shut that up." laughed Ashley
The girl pulled out a piece of cloth and tied it around his head, gagging him. having Steve knock him out, leavening his motionless body, helpless to the will of his attackers.
—-scene —-
His head was pounding, the sand burned, and debates had burned throughout the camp like a wildfire, thinking about what to do with Chris and Judas.
"We could just kick them out." Stated a student
"What if they become spiteful and try to harm or godforbid kill one of us.. Point is they're too dangerous to just be let go." stated Johnny
"Are you saying we kill-them?" Asked a student
"It's the only option." Told Steve
"But killing another person is wrong." said another student, her voice in clear distress.
Ashley got up on a rock and spoke.
"If we release these things, you wanna know what they'll do? They'll slit your throats as we sleep! Do you really want to go to bed every single night worrying about them killing you?
"But.." Another student started to speak before being cut off.
"But? Do you want these things to kill you while you sleep?" Asked Ashley
"No! But what will we tell our parents when we get back, That we killed another human?" Asked the Student
Looks of agreement went through the camp waiting for Ashley's response.
"I would hate to be the one to tell you this.. But we are not going back home." Proclaimed Ashley
"What do you mean? Well make a boat and sail out until we get to civilization."
"That would work, only have you not noticed that we're on an island where there are literally dinosaurs on. Point is we're not on the earth, there's no way that this is an undiscovered island."
"I mean With all the technology the human race has you don't think that if there was an island filled with dinosaurs we would have found it already?"
The students looked at Ashley, not sure if they really should go down this dark road or not.
"There could still be a chance though." Told another student
Ashly looked around annoyed that the people are still questioning her,but she still had one last card to play.
"I want everyone to look at their wrists right now." said Ashly in a calm voice
The crowd looked at their writs to see the one thing that may just prove Ashlys theory correct
Ashley looked around to see a mixed bag of expressions ranging from agreement to disgust., speaking again.
"Well then, how will we do it?" asked Ashley
"Everyone follow my lead!" Exclaimed Pontious, who had been silent until now.
Chris looked at Pontious, hoping whatever he did was quick, but to his horror he picked up the rock that Ashley was standing on and started walking towards Chris. He could hear Jude talking to him.
"Hey man just wanted to say you're a cool dude and I hope we meet on the other side but I'm not going out without a fight, I'll give you some time to escape alright." Told Judas smiling
"Don't they'll kill you!" exclaimed Chris
"They're going to do it anyways. It's been nice.." Judas smiled and got to his feet.
Judas rushed Pontious using the cloth he was bound with to choke him.
Judas was putting up a vallorent effort even taking down a few students but unfortunately,the mob of savages swarmed him doing to him what he predicted, this effort was not for nothing as with his distraction it gave the ladder of the duo time to get to his feet and get away.
His body was tired and his legs were weak but he persevered, his footprints making progressively deeper indentations in the ever present ground, as he continued as his legs became harder and harder to lift.
The young man heard footsteps behind him turning around to see that the group from the camp were following his footsteps caring for an injured person on one of their backs.
He tried to go faster but his body would not obey. it tumbled to the ground as he could no longer find the strength he needed to keep going.
A group of three became closer as he began to talk, sweat dripped on his forehead.
"Please, just let me go please!" Chris pleaded with them but there was laughter.
The student grabbed the body of another's back and lifted it up moving its mouth and arms like a puppet, The urge to throw up was too much for Chris once he saw the body who he identified as head was pushed so far deep into his own skull he could see the bone fragments.
"Why would you do this?" asked Chris gaging.
"It's simple we needed to show people what happens when you break the rules around here."told the student laughing
"I've been framed,you got to believe me!" pleaded Chris tears forming on his eyes as he realized that they already made their minds up.
"You're coming with us." told the bulky student grabbing the young man's legs.
they did not drag him far as the group that the young man tried to avoid came straight to him.
"What are you doing ashley this wasn't the plan!" Asked the student anger present in his voice.
"Hush Carl, we're killing him here in front of everyone" commanded Ashley
"Why didn't we just do it where we found him?" Asked Carl
"We have to make an example out of him. Or do you wish to interfere and get the same fate as him." Snarled the girl
A rustling could be heard in the bushes however they were all caught up in their conversation, no one heard it besides Chris.
"I'm simply asking why?" told Carl
"I am the leader of this group so that's why! So unless you want to end up like judas I would just get in line and shu-." Ashley spoke.
The rustling became louder and seemed to be spread out more throughout the bushes.
"Did you hear that?" interrupted carl
"Don't interrupt me! Even if there was some mysterious noise
Ashley stood on the rock that Chris once slept on and gave a speech.
"To have peace we must have unity, to have unity we must have law! And to survive we must have both. My fellow students I know it is tough but to thrive in this new world we will have to make tough choices which will influence us for the rest of our lives, but until we get off of this place we are stuck here."
"Which brings me to him." saint ashley pointing at chris who was being held face first into the sand.
"For his crime-'' Ashley stopped and listened, hearing the rustling getting louder and more spread out.
"You two go check out that sound." commanded Ashley pointing at two random students.
"Anyways, for the brutal attacks on me and his fellow student he will be executed like his conspirator Judas" told Ashley
"Carl do it." told ashley
Carl walked up to Chris holding the same bloodied rock Judas was murdered with, Chris made peace with his god and the world seemed to get darker as all he could see was the silhouette of his soon to be executioner.
The fear of death grabbed Chris,making him thrash around like he was having a seizure.
"Hold still you rat." Snarled Carl who was trying to hit the young man as hard as he could.
The young man continued to dodge and weaved his head making Carl miss multiple times
"HOLD STILL!"Yelled the infuriated Carl.
Chris did not respond with words, only a slight chuckle at the anger he was causing.
"You're not going to be laughing when I bash your brains in!" yelled Carl.
As Carl was raising up the rock to try to strike him again a blood curdling scream could be heard from the forest
"Help me please." pleaded a student crawling towards the group,her leg far gone.
A group of the students runs over to the girl.
"Hannah what..what did this to you?"Asked A friend of the dying girl.
The girl grabbed her friend's hand and tried to speak but there were no words, only gasps and groans until her eyes started to lose track of her friend and her sounds became quieter until there was nothing, nothing but a sorrowful silence filled the camp as mostly everyone walked towards the girl to pay their respects. But the silence was short lived.
Screams of students echoed throughout the camp when a group of raptors attacked the camp of defenceless students
Carl,seeing this, ran away towards a large group of students that were also fleeing, dropping his rock on Chris's leg pinning him down. Not that the young man could get up even if he wanted to, his body was far too weak to try. However even though his body was weak his mind was still thinking somewhat rationaly.
The young man slowly peeled open his eyes seeing what can only be described as a graveyard, limbs and bodies scattered throughout the ground like a battlefield, blood stained the rough sand like a morbid painting the centerpiece being three raptors eating the corpses with intense vigor, picking out the ones that were the most alive as they seemingly enjoyed the thrill of the kill.
Unfortunately for Chris when he was looking at the raptors another previously unseen raptor appeared from the forest changing the behavior of the raptors having them stop whatever they were doing,look at this new raptor and give out a chirp. But there was also something different about this one that caught Chris's eye instead of having grey with blue accents this raptor was a solid black with the only other colors being its bright yellow eyes and red scars from years of living on this only that but the size of this creature was easily more than any of the raptors he had seen.
Chris was staring at this raptor making out all of its features, but once he saw the raptor look at him. A jolt of fear went through the young man as he fell on the ground thinking.
He thought about what to do when his mind went back to a lesson he learned from his dad on one of their hunting trips where he told him what to do incase of a bear attack. His father's words echoed through his head as he thought.
"See son if a bear ever attacks you and you have no other option, play dead and with any luck it wont make an evening meal out of you."
Chris thought that although Raptors weren't bears it was the only thing that even remotely resembled his situation. So he plopped his body on the rough sand playing dead. his face bruised and swollen,legs blood stained and his shirt covered in a mixture of mud,sand,and blood.
The raptor moved closer walking through the blood soaked sands, The weight of the creature crunched on the sand leaving deep imprints where this prehistoric creature wondered.
This sounds became progressively louder as the raptor became more curious by the second.
The hot breath of the prehistoric creature soon fell upon the young man's neck as the raptor hissed and nudged his body checking for any signs that he was alive,any movement would surely be his end.
The raptor continued nudging and prodding at him even sniping at him once but even through that he stayed still paralyzed by fear and motivated by the will to live.
The raptor concluded that he was not alive and proceed to walk away leaving Chris Thankful
After a while the raptors stopped eating and poking at the bodies to focus on a much more important task, tracking down the group of students that fled down the beachline, their heavy footprints making them easy prey for the monstrous creatures
When the raptors moved on and the young man slept. there was nothing but the sound of the waves crashing on the beach and the ghostly chill of the night turning into the scorching heat of the sun but that's when it struck.
Extreme hunger, thirst and pain all fell upon the young man waking the young man up. And limped towards the shoreline and chug more than his share in water, by this point he didn't care if it was saltwater but was pleasantly surprised when he realized it was not only freshwater but it was almost crystal clear and purified.
Looking at his bruised and bloody face he thought.
"What did my life turn to!?" The young man thought the young man
"Just days ago I was on a plane going on a nice vacation, now I'm stuck on this island constantly fighting for survival." said Chris aloud crying
A look of sadness crept on his face as he realized just how dire his situation was,not only was he in dire need of food but he also was stuck on an island full of dinosaurs that will eat you first chance they get.
"Why is this happening to me!" yelled Chris punching the water and looking towards the sky, his eyes still watering.
Looking in the now distorted water he saw not his face but the faces of all of the people edging on his execution with distorted grins all laughing, but as he looked at these things he saw the face of ashley cackling on as carl bashes in the skull of judas. All screaming 'DIE!,DIE!,DIE!
"You want me to die?" said Chis in a low Angered voice. Clenching his teeth as anger flushed out all other suddenly punching both sand and water alike and answering the voices anger prevalent on his face. "I'll kill you all!" Screamed Chris
Chris got up with a new fire in his heart ,and looked around the basecamp for any pieces of equipment he would need. But as he turned around he heard a loud hissing sound seeing two of these dinos.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Asked Chris
In response the dinosaurs raised their fans and hissed louder.
"Fine if you want this..it's fine by me!"Said Chris, prepping for the fight.
Chris grabbed a large wooden stick and waited for the dinosaurs to make their move.
The creature spat a ball of venom at Chris who quickly dodged it using this opportunity to run towards the smaller diplosuar and hit it square in the eye as hard as he could knocking the dinosaur over.
Seeing the creature down he took his stick and started mashing in the head of the dinosaur screaming.
"I refuse to die!...I will never die!" His face covered in blood from the now long deceased animal.
Doing this gave the larger of the two diplosaurus time to get a nasty bite on Chris's left leg, the pain only fueling the anger inside.
"You're going to pay for that!" Screamed Chris grabbing the Creature's throat with both hands choking it.
The creature clawed at the young man as life slowly drained from the eye of the unlucky creature,landing one of its slashes, The rage had reached a pinnacle. Chris held the dino down with one hand and proceeded to beat its skull in with the other until there was no more movement , only stillness but even with the lack of movement, he still didn't stop pounding the dead creature's skull in like an enraged gorilla.
"I'll survive anything this island throws at me!" Screamed Chris still bashing the animals brains in. "I'm going to outlive all of you fuckers!"
The young man hit the head of the animal one last time with all his might and looked down at his foe while taking quick breaths. It's skull now nothing more than a puddle of smashed brains and pulverized bone.
"Don't they worry I'll survive." Chris thought with a grin.
The young man looked over the vast expanse of the ocean with the golden rays of the sun sparkling on the water as the sun slowly set leaving the island with nothing but shadows and darkness.
