Back To The Fence

Chapter 18

Dad, Tim, and Lex and me scrambled through the jungle, completely out of breath, and exhausted. We arrived at the base of the big electrical fence that surrounds the main compound. Dad looked up at the fence. It must have been over twenty feet high. We had to climb over the fence, saying that it doesn't electrocute us first.

"It's a bit of a climb. You guys think you can make it?" Dad said looking up at the high fence we had to climb over and possibly fall to our deaths if we aren't careful.

"Nope." Me and Tim said together and Lex looked like she was inspecting it.

"Way too high." She said shaking her head.

Dad grabbed a stick and climbed up on the ledge. He looked at me for a moment before winking. I cocked my head to the side. What was that about?

He looked at the warning light on the fence. It was not lighting up and he poked the wire with a stick. No sparks fly. "Well, I guess that means the power's off."

He taps it with his foot. I knew what he was about to do and I wasn't going to fall for it. He moved in slowly and laid both hands on a cable and closed his fingers around it. Dad's body shook and he let out a loud scream. The kids started screaming while I just stood there not falling for it. With a smirk on my face. "Nice try Dad." He stopped and turned around slowly...and smiled wickedly.

"That's not funny." Lex looked almost pissed off as she said that.

"That was great!" Tim smiled. Dad tried to put his head through the fence but then far in the distance, the T-rex roared. Without a second's delay, both kids leaped to their feet. I helped Timmy up on the ledge before Dad helped me get up myself.

"We can make it if we run." Ellie said trying not to show fear.

"No we can't." He said keeping his eyes ahead of him.

"Why not?"

Muldoon never moved an inch. "Because we're being hunted."

Ellie's heart started to thump loudly, "Oh God."

"From the bushes straight ahead."

Ellie turned very slowly to face the bushes. At first, she doesn't see anything, but then there's something very faint, like a shifting of the light, and a shadow seems to move in the bush, rustling the leaves.

"It's all right." She couldn't believe how calm he was being.

"Like hell it is." She hissed and her breathing became unsteady.

Muldoon raised his weapon slowly to his shoulder. "Run, towards the shed. I've got her."

Ellie backed up, down the path, slowly. Muldoon followed behind her, keeping his gun trained in the bushes. The shadow in the bushes moved too, at an even pace with them.

"Go now!" He looked at her then and walked towards the trees. Ellie who was startled, turned and fell over a log. She quickly stood and started to run towards the shed. Muldoon walked slowly into the bushes.

Ellie ran as fast as she possibly could a real broken field sprint, hopping over branches, flying across the open area at top speed. Over a log SPLASH! she hits a water puddle. She came to another log obstacle, she grabs a tree and swung over it. She neared the maintenance shed, and doesn't look back. She reached the door, blasted through it, and slammed it behind her. It was pitch black. She hurried to turn her walkie talkie on and torch on.

"Mr Arnold?" She shouted and nothing came back.

She turned on the walkie talkie and spoke into it. "John I'm in." she walked slowly down the steps of the bunker.

We were climbing slowly and cautiously up the fence. Dad was in the middle of the kids while I was on the side of Lex. The kids were bickering as usual as we climbed. "Timmy, I bet I can climb all the way over to the top and get to the other side before you can get to the top." Lex said.

"What would you give me?" He said. You would think they would be helping each other not arguing and fighting. Dad looked at me and I shook my head. In a meaning of saying just leave them to it.

"Respect."

"Come on kids, it's not a race." Dad said.

My foot suddenly slipped and I nearly fell but I held on to the bar, "Katie!" Lex said and grabbed my arm.

"I'm okay, I just slipped."

Dad looked scared for a moment. "Be careful and watch were you're going."

We were reaching the top of the fence now and it was a little hard to keep balance as we had to lean down while clinging to the fence to try and get over it. Me, Lex and Dad were over it but Tim was struggling a little. "Take your time Tim. Mind your footing."

"It's okay, we are nearly there now. Just keep going." I said to him and continued down the fence.

Lex and Dad had just gotten down from the fence and a loud noise made me jump and fall back. I landed on my arm and side on the edge stone floor. Pain shot up through my side.

"KATIE!"
