Chapter 8
Prepared to punch something he span around and saw... "Sean!" He felt the relief soak through him as he realised who it was.
He pulled Sean down roughly and pressed a kiss to his boyfriends lips. "You have no idea how worried I was!" Letting go of the man's face and grabbing his arm he yelled "Come on!" Pulling his lover along after him as he ran through the tunnels, not entirely sure where he was going any more.
The raptor had already nearly destroyed the weak gate.
They could suddenly hear the fast clacking again as the raptor chases them.
'We aren't going to make it.' Thought John; and apparently he wasn't the only one as Sean whipped around and looked him in the eye before pressing a quick hard kiss on his lips. There was fear obvious in his eyes. That John could understand but he also looked... guilty?
They didn't have time for this! "Sean, what-"
"I'm so sorry John. I can't die. Not now. Not like this." He looked like he might cry.
"Sean-"
Sean reached out for his bad shoulder and before he even knew what was happening the taller man wrenched the old wound painfully and pushed him to the floor.
He screamed as he fell, temporarily paralyzed by pain, and an overwhelming sense of betrayal. 'What just happened?'
He opened his eyes just in time to see Sean disappearing around the corner.
He wasn't going to die here. No, he couldn't die now until he had at least punched Sean in his face.
Through the pain he forced himself to his feet and staggered after his former boyfriend. As soon as he turned the corner he saw the door. Turns out they had been a lot closer to the exit than they had thought.
The raptor was closer now. He could hear it almost right behind him. He didn't dare turn around to look.
He practically fell up the stairs and out into the humid air, managing to slam the door securely shut right before he felt the raptor slam into it behind him. He could feel it crashing against the thick metal, but he knew there was no way it was getting through there.
He collapsed, sliding down the door, gasping with fear, adrenaline, and devastation at what Sean had done to him.
He felt hot tears slide down his face as sobs racked his body, totally overwhelmed.
