The Gallimimus

Chapter 17

It had been about an hour since we had left the tree and found the broken dinosaur eggs, me and Dad Tim, and Lex walked through the park grounds, heading across a relatively open area. Dad consulted the map. "Dad, I don't think we will find the way back to the visitor centre with that. We don't even know where we are."

"Well if we could just…" He looked around to for a sign or notice to see where we are but we were in the middle of a field.

"I'm tired, and I'm hungry. When I get back I'm gonna have peanuts and…" Lex said, before I cut in.

"Peanuts? Seriously? I'm gonna have a double cheeseburger with everything on and a large chocolate milkshake to go with it." I said, my stomach growling loudly. Tim made a noise that signalled he wanted the same thing too.

"The visitor's centre should be just about a mile beyond that rise. If we keep..."

There was another animal cry we heard earlier and it was closer now, louder, and repeated by many more animals.

"What is that? Tim, can you tell me what they are?" He means he doesn't actually know what they are?

"Galli…Galiu…Uh, Gallimimus." He said and Lex stepped backwards.

He turned around, to face the direction the sound is coming from. He squinted, and It looked like the animals were coming in our direction.

"They're…they're flocking this way." Tim smiled walking backwards. I knew it! I start to walk backwards aswell as Lex. Dad didn't listen to us and took a few steps forward. Before he could say anything, the animals were hurtling towards us.

We started running. Dad held on to mine and Timmy's hand and I held on to Lex's hand as we ran, the dinosaurs moving aside us. They were making noises as they ran. We had to keep moving in case they trampled us.

"Dad where are we going?!" There was absolutely nothing to shelter us in distance. Until we seen a long split in half log lying on the ground.

"In here!" He said, we finally reached it and took cover underneath it. The dinosaurs jumped over us and crossed the field. Sure enough, we heard a very familiar roar and it came diving out of the bushes. Lex started hyperventilating again and I covered her mouth with my hand, we could not be seen again!

We all stared as the Rex kicks it into overdrive, it grabbed a Gallimimus and sunk its teeth into its neck. The T-rex made the kill in a cloud of dust and debris. Tim and Dad half rose to their feet, staring in wonder.

My eyes widened, "Dad, Tim get down now!" I hissed, jeez these guys really did have a death wish. Also watching a T-Rex eat another dinosaur alive was not pleasant.

"I wanna go now." Lex whispered pulling on my arm.

"So do I." I whispered back, and tugged Dad. "Just look how it eats." He said memorized by it.

"Please," Lex pleaded.

"Bet you'll never look at birds the same way again." Dad said, and Tim stood up fully now.

"Yeah okay. Dr Grant, let's go." I said, I really wanted to get back to the visitor centre, find Ellie and go home.

"Okay. Keep low, follow me."

We started to follow Dad but he paused and we remembered Timmy. "Look at all it's blood." He whispered and Dad had to grab him to pull him away from the scene.

Ellie paced impatiently as she rushed down the stairs. "Oh God, something's happened. Something went wrong." She muttered.

Muldoon looked at her and then walked by John. John was still tending to Ian's wounds and Ian checked his watch. "This is just a delay, that's all this is, all major theme parks have had delays. When they opened Disneyland in 1956, nothing worked, nothing."

"John..." Ellie moaned still pacing up and down.

"But, John but if the Pirates of the Caribbean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists." Ian said.

"I can't wait anymore, something went wrong. I'm going to go get the power back on." Ellie said. She could not wait any longer, she wanted her family back now.

"You can't just stroll down the road, you know." Muldoon said as if it was obvious. He took some keys from his waist and walked to a cupboard.

"Bob, let's not be too hasty. He's only been gone…" He looked at his watch then back at Ian who had a knowing look on his face.

"I'm going with you." Muldoon said to Ellie.

"Okay."

Muldoon clanged open a steel cabinet, revealing an impressive array of weaponry inside. He removed a shotgun and what looks like a small rocket launcher. He shoved a shell into the barrel of the rocket launcher, which accepted it with a faint electronic sizzle. John searched out the set of blueprints, gets them out of the file cabinet and spread them out on top of Malcolm.

Ellie and Muldoon joined to where John was. "This isn't like switching on the kitchen light, but I think I can follow this and talk you through it." He signalled with a look.

"Right."

Ellie walked over to get a couple of walkie-talkies from the shelf and shoved them in her belt.

"But you know, I should really be the one going…"

Ellie looked puzzled, "Why?"

John gestured back and forth with his hands. "Well, because you're a….I'm a…."

Ellie caught on to what he was saying then and she really was not in the mood for it. "Look." She put the walkie talkie in his hand.

"Come on, let's go." Muldoon said walking up the stairs.

"We'll discuss sexism in survival situations when I get back." She walks backwards towards the stairs. "You just take me through this step by step. I'm on channel two."

She took a deep breath as Muldoon opened the bunker door. "Ready?" He said. She nodded and they both stepped out into the light.

Sorry this is so short and it took me a while to get this out. I haven't been really feeling up to writing. My mood hasn't been same lately. So updates may take longer, but since this is nearly the end of the story I'll try and get it done quicker. I was a little bit disappointed when I got only 1 review for the last chapter. I only update if I get 3 reviews or more, but since it's nearly the end of the story, I wanna get it finished.

But please could I have at 3 reviews till the next update?

Also I couldn't really think of a title for this one, so sorry if its crap.

Enjoy!

P.S- Don't forget to vote on my poll on my profile, if you haven't already.
