Eddie
So maybe being stupid isn't all that great. Because here I am, Sitting beneath a tree on wet sand with my brother, in front of a lake with enough dinosaurs to kill me with a possibly dead she-weasel.
"Eddie, what do we do?"
"Is she even alive?" We poke Tabitha's face.
"I don't think she's breathing..."
"...What are we supposed to do?" We share a horrified look.
"I'm not kissing her! What if she wakes up?" cries Crash.
"I think it's called See Pee Arrg or something."
"Same thing." Something in the pond moves, and I stumbled back, tripping over my tail and falling on top of...Tabitha. I shriek- I just fell on a could-be dead person! But despite my fear, we're relieved when she moans, doubles over and turns onto her side. And then...She barfs.
"Ew, gross!" we cry as she retches and spews out pond water. But I edge closer to her and tentatively place a hand on her back when I realize she's crying while throwing up. Something in the pond catches Crash's attention.
"OH MY GOODNESS!"
"What?" I spin around and see a monster rising from the lake. Tabitha flops over on the sand, breathing slowly returning to normal as we start screaming for help.
The beast is something we've never seen before. Rows of jagged teeth reveal themselves and prohibit it from closing it's massive mouth. Water drips from it's black leathery skin, and we cry even louder when we count the number of arms tipped with clawed hands: seven.
The two of us back up into the undergrowth, me helping Tabitha's trembling frame stand up. To our surprise, shock, and horror, the water monster follows us!
"DIEGO! HELPPP!"
