Chapter Six: Shelter

We were walking for about fifteen minutes when it began to pour again making it really muddy and slippery.

"Erik!" Amy called to me over the sound of the pouring rain.

"Yeah?" I answered.

"Come look at this."

I walked over to her to see what she was talking about and saw that there were footprints embedded into the ground that looked to be about the same size at my foot

"You know what this is? These are human foot prints! Someone was here only a few hours ago!" She said smiling.

"How do you know?" I asked her.

"Because if they were here before last night's rain fall the foot prints would've been washed away. There is someone else on this island that can help us. They probably have a radio or satellite phone that we can use to contact your parents so we can get off this bloody island!"

"That's the best news I've hear all week!" I told her.

"I know, but we need to hurry and follow these footprints before they get washed away!"

We began to run following the foot prints as we went, but then all of a sudden the footprints ended on the top of a steep hill.

"What this can't be." Amy said looking around frantically for more footprints. "These can't end here."

"Where do you think the person went?" I asked Amy.

"I don't know. The footprints end here. It's like the guy just disappeared of flew away, which is impossible." Amy told me.

"Do you think he could have back tracked his steps?"

"It's possible, but why would he do that? Who does he expect to follow him?"

"Do you think he knows we're here?"

"I don't know, but whoever it was they don't want to be followed."Amy told me.

"Alright, let's go back." I told her and I turned and started heading back down the hill. Then I heard Amy scream. I turned around to see that she was gone. I looked down the hill and saw that she had slipped and she was now sliding down the steep hill.

"Amy!" I yelled jumping down the steep hill after her. It was like a dangerous waterslide going straight down. At the end there was a muddy pond which I splashed into. When I emerged from the water Amy was nowhere to be seen.

"Amy!" I shouted for her, but there was no reply. I dove back into the water and began to feel around for Amy. Soon I was able to find her and I pulled her to the surface. She coughed several times letting the water escape her lungs. I was glad to find out that she had not passed out from the lack of breath. I pulled her over to the side of the pond and pulled her out.

Amy actually looked surprisingly calm for what just happened. Then I looked into her eyes and saw that she looked kind of out of it. Her head began swaying back and forth.

"Erik, what was in that pain medication?" she asked me slowly.

"I'm not sure. Why?" I asked her.

"Because….I feel….really weird." Amy said smiling awkwardly. Her whole body was swaying now.

"You alright there, Amy?" I asked her.

"What are you talking about? I feel great!" she said tumbling backwards into the mud. "Make snow angels with me, Erik." She said having a far off look in her eyes. She began moving her arms and legs in the mud the way you would make snow angels.

"I rather not." I told her laughing a little. I tried to pull her up but she kept resisting.

"Please, Erik. It will be fun!" she pleaded looking up at me with an innocent look in her eyes.

"We have to go find shelter, remember?" I asked her. "We don't want to get eaten."

"Eaten by what?" she asked me.

"Uh, dinosaurs…" I told her.

"There's no such thing, silly?" Amy told me laughing. Then she gave a hard pull on my hand causing me to fall over on top of her causing us to sink a little bit more into the mud. We were both a little stunned by what happened, but I recover quickly and tried to pull myself off of Amy.

"Wait!" She said pulling me back onto her. I looked down at her as she stared up at me. "Did you know that you have really pretty eyes?" she told me with the same innocent look in her eyes.

I stared at her for what seemed like several minutes. She looked at me with those big blue eyes and began touching my face with her small hands. Then before I knew what I was doing I began to lean in to kiss her. I could feel her breath on my lips as I got only centimeters away from her lips, but right before I was able to capture her lips with mine I heard a loud, blood-chilling roar. I froze for a few split seconds before staring up into the face of a huge spinosaurus.

"Ohhhhhh…..You were right Erik! Dinosaurs do exist!" Amy said smiling excitedly.

"Amy, now is a good time to be quiet." I told her in a whisper.

The dinosaur stared at us, eyeing us both suspiciously before roaring again. I pulled Amy to her feet and began running with her in the opposite direction of the dinosaur.

"Where are we going, Erik?" Amy asked me sounding a little aggravated.

"Someplace safe; away from that thing!" I told her as I continued to pull her through the pouring rain. I had lost sight of the dinosaur, but I could hear it following us.

I kept running for about a mile before seeing a part of what looked like a water truck. I quickly climbed to the top of it and began trying to open the hatch. Luckily I was able to open it. I pushed Amy inside of it, following closely behind her. I quickly closed the hatch and locked it making it completely dark inside.

I could hear the dinosaur getting closer and soon I heard it come up right beside the water truck. I held my breath for what seemed like forever, praying that the dinosaur would leave and sure enough it did. I let go of the breath I was holding in and began to relax a little.

After I was for sure the dinosaur was gone I opened the hatch letting light in and looked around inside the water truck. I was surprised to see supplies everywhere. There were cans of foods, water bottles, candy bars, chips, medical supplies, and plenty of other stuff. I looked over to where Amy was to see that she had fallen to sleep on a small mattress. It looked as if someone used to stay there, but hadn't been around for a long time. I thought that this would make a good shelter for and Amy and I while we're here.

It had finally stopped raining and it was starting to get dark outside. I looked around the water truck to see if I could find a light or something and sure enough I was able to find a lantern. I grabbed one of the matches we were able to get from the lab and lit the lantern. I found a hook that I was able to hang the lantern up with and then I closed the hatch. I grabbed some blankets out of our back packs and put one over Amy. I found a spot on the floor next to the mattress where I could lay down too and placed the other blanket over me.

I began to wonder what was in the medication that I had given Amy that made her act so crazy. I also thought about when I almost kissed her. What had gotten into me? Would she remember everything tomorrow? I felt kind of stupid. If she remembers I could have possibly just ruined our friendship, but what if she wanted me to kiss her? She didn't stop me, but she wasn't exactly sane at the moment either. Maybe…just maybe she feels the same way as I do, but then again maybe not.

Before I knew it I was consumed by sleep.
