Chapter 3 - Things Fall Apart
6:18am, Aithne looked at her watch with a deadpan experience, she could really do with a rest day, especially after what happened yesterday with Dino chasing, avoiding the stampede and saving Darius and Brooklynn from a sinkhole, that can drain ones energy. However knowing that she is not going back to sleep, yet again, she quietly leaves her bunk, heads to the girls bathroom without waking up any of the other girls and after getting herself ready she grabs her bag and makes a beeline to the kitchen to make breakfast.
"Oh morning Aithne," came Roxie voice from the lifts, Dave standing next to her looking worried and nervous.
"Morning," Aithne replied. "Why does Dave look like his is about to jump out of his skin?"
"Well, that is a good question," Dave replied, eyes darting from Roxie and Aithne. "Roxie take it from here."
"Well, Aithne we have come to agree that you are right about last night, we do need more staff, and it is not fair on you to be taking on the task, so Dave and I are going to the main park to get that done."
"Why not call them?"
"We tried to get in connect with our boss, but they are a tad business this morning, so instead we are going to talk to them face to face."
"Let me guess we are to stay here until you two come back," Aithne conclude.
"Yep, we will leave a radio to keep in contact with us," Dave answered. "It'll shouldn't take too long, but I'll find something to keep you campers occupied till then."
Dave walks out of the room, Aithne had very little hopes of finding something to keep them "occupied". Aithne turned to grab a frying pan when Roxie approaches her, clearly not done talking to her.
"Am I in charge again?" Aithne asked with a deadpan expression.
"Until we get back," Roxie responded. "Look Aithne I know you don't like it here, but I'm aware of your reasons to be here, you put so much back to people who need it most, but taking a step back and just be a kid, to have fun with others your age-"
"Roxie," Aithne cuts her off. "I hear you what you are saying, but my time to 'be a kid', that part of me is long gone, and I'm sorry for how I acted last night, I shouldn't had shouted at you, you are doing your job."
"Apology excepted," Roxie replied with a small smile.
Dave came back and places sheets of paper, couple boxes of crayons and the pocket radio, the consolers wrote a note and headed out. Aithne was cooking herself an omelette, knowing the smell of cooking will get the others up soon, she might as well make their breakfast too, as she begins to make the second omelette she recalls how she was first taught.
Flashback*
Five years ago
In the O'Connor family home, an 11-year-old Aithne is in the kitchen cooking over the stove making an omelette while her mother was supervising her.
"Very good love," her mother commented, her soft British voice calmed her daughter watching her place the messy omelette on a plate.
"It doesn't look like it," Aithne responded. "Yours are always perfect and Gran's."
"Well it takes time to perfect what you learn," she replies as grabs a few more eggs. "You'll get better each time, don't you worry."
Aithne's mother suddenly felt lightheaded, dropping an egg landing on the stone fall, nearly stubbled but she quickly caught herself on the counter, Aithne hurried over to her.
"You okay Ma?" she asked worriedly.
"Yes love, I'm fine just a little lightheaded," she replied, smiling at her daughter.
But Aithne knew better, the treatment her mother was under was making her tired, even if it was helping her as well, she could see the huge difference, how much it takes a great toll on her.
"I'll clean up and make breakfast for the twins if you have to sit down," Aithne offered. "And I'll put the kettle on, if you want a brew?"
"Thank you love," she replied slowly making her way to the kitchen table. "But make sure you eat as well; you have training to get too today."
"I know Ma," she answered placing the omelette on the table in front of her mother.
The two smiled, but deep down know the hard road ahead in the future in the O'Conner family.
End of flashback*
It was not long she placed the last omelette on the table, as the rest of the campers except for Darius and Brooklynn, she finished her food moments ago, as they sat down, she excuses herself to get the Dino-Kid.
Before even reaching the door Darius opens the door and hurries out running pass Aithne.
"Whoa, where's the fire kid?!" Aithne joked.
She walks back the way she came at her own pace; she was going to take it easy to today, so she is not going to run around like a bule ass fly.
"What up Camp Cretaceous? Whoo-hoo!" she heard Darius exclaimed excitedly.
Aithne enters the main room, seeing Ben, Yasmina and Sammy sat on the settee's, Ben was drawing while drinking a juice box, while Yasmina was showing her sketches from her book.
"Not in a whoo-hoo mood this morning Darius," Kenji replied leaning back on a spinning chair, Aithne walk pass him to sit next Ben. "Not after yesterday. Trekking though a rainstorm will do that."
"We only had to walk because you crashed our Gryosphere," Ben stated.
Kenji glared at Ben, he lean back trying to get off the older boys sight, Aithne glared at Kenji defending Ben as she nearly got hit but the eejit's driving more then once, so Ben is right about that.
"But today's a new day!" said Darius. "Kayak Day! Who doesn't wanna paddle alongside dinosaurs, real dinosaurs? It's gonna be wanna right? Darius. Wait, where are Dave and Roxie?"
"That's why I went to get you kid, they had to talk to their boss this morning," Aithne says.
Kenji rolled the chair towards Darius with the note Roxie left.
"And left this," Kenji says, handing the note to the youngest camper.
"BRB. Gotta go, Boss-talk. BB. Later. Smiley face. Is that a dinosaur emoji with a thumbs up?" Darius read out loud.
"It's Dave speak, Roxie translated on the back," Kenji added,
Darius turned the note around.
"We have to go talk to our boss. Stay inside until we return, Aithne is in charge again, draw, bond, whatever. The radio's set for channel six in case you need us. Stay inside, stay inside, do not leave, Kenji looking at you. Uh.. sorry for the kids' menus, it's all Dave had."
"Do they understand how old we are?" Kenji. I mean when was the last time you saw a crayon?
"Well what did you do before the internet," Aithne asked,
Before Kenji could replay, Ben shows them his drawing of Bumpy and himself playing a game of chess.
"Hmm I have notes," Yasmina commented.
"Yasmina!" Sammy says nudging her playfully.
Bang!
Everyone turns to the second door to the balcony to see Brooklynn and she does not look too happy.
"Dramatic entrance… 7 out of 10," Aithne mumbled under her breathe, Ben scoffed a laugh.
"Brooklynn what's new on the internet superstar?" Yaz asked.
"I wouldn't know," Brooklynn replied as she walked into the room. "Because when I went to go get my phone from its changer, it wasn't there! Someone stole my phone."
"Brooklynn who hasn't had your phone?" Yaz pointed out.
The boys say they used it, Ben for checking the weather, Darius looking up on new dinosaur fossils information and Kenji used it for a selfie on himself, Aithne had no interest with it and even if she did she would ask permission to borrow it and return it.
Brooklynn glares at Sammy when she didn't say anything with the others.
"I… haven't seen it either," Sammy stammered.
"Really?"
Aithne did not like the look Brooklynn was giving Sammy, so every the peace maker she stands up and walks towards the girls.
"That's fine," Aithne stated. "We aren't leaving this place anytime soon, so we will look around and find it."
"Oh, I think I know exactly where to look," Brooklynn says heading closer to Sammy. "I also think whoever took the phone might be trying to hide some of the things that are on it. what do you think, Sammy?"
"Um what?"
Aithne is completely lost, what the hell happened in the last 12 hours.
"What is your deal?" Yasmina exclaimed standing to defend Sammy. "Sammy said she didn't touch it! Ever think you might have just lost the stupid thing?"
"Hmm, well then, let's check her bags and test that theory out," Brooklynn tells.
"Hang on," Aithne steps in, literality in between the Brooklynn and Yamina to hopefully prevent conflict. "We are doing no such thing as of yet, retrace your steps Pinky before you start pointing fingers."
"Aithne's right," Yasmina still irritated. "You do not get to go through anyone's stuff-"
"Brooklynn! Guys! Come on!" Darius says jumping up and down trying to get their attention, thankfully too. "We can't be this upset over phones, lets make the most of this incredible opportunity! This is Jurassic world! It's, it's-"
Before Darius could think of the next word, a loud deep roar rang from the jungle, everyone froze, they have heard many noises since they came to the island, but not once have they heard roar like that.
"What was that?" Brooklynn broke the silence.
"Um, a T-Rex?" Kenji guessed.
"Mm-mm I don't think so," said Daruis.
"Then what sort of dinosaur did it sound like?" Ben questioned as they head to the balcony to see what made that roar, friend-ish or foe-ish?"
"Whatever it is, it did not sound happy," Aithne added.
"Where's it comin' from?" Sammy wondered.
"Can't see anything from here," Yasmina says. "The trees are blocking everything."
"Maybe they're moving a new dino from the lab to another enclosure." Darius suggested. "We could probably see it from the observation tower! Could be cool."
Not this again.
"Wait a minute" Aithne started to have her say but Sammy cut her off.
"Wow, that's a great idea, Darius! What are we waiting for?"
Sammy drags Darius back inside heading to the lift, Aithne looked at the sky, with a 'why me' expression on her face, when the others followed the Texan and Dino Kid.
"Hey! We're not done talking about this yet!" Brooklynn called out after them.
"But guys," Ben says back at his spot on the settee. "It's indoor Art and Crafts Day! We should stay and wait for Dave and Roxie, Right Kenji?"
"If you wanna stay here and draw you and your dino-crush," Kenji answers. "Go for it, I'm gonna do see me a T-Rex or a girl-fight. Either way, I win. Ka-Ching."
Aithne smacks the side of Kenji's head while walking pass him.
"Ow!"
"What your words lad," Aithne warned him, he hurries to the lift, she grabs her bag from the settee and puts over her shoulder.
"Aithne you not going too?" Ben asked, looking hopefully at her.
"After what happened yesterday," Aithne tells him. "There is no point in trying to stop them, but its your choice Ben if you want to stay or not, and if Roxie and Dave come back before we do then tell them."
She walks to the lift, when she got in she places her hand on the side holding the lift door from shutting as Sammy was about to press the button to go down.
"What are you doing?" Yaz asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"5," Aithne counts down. "4, 3, 2, 1 and," she raised her free hand and the points towards the sitting area.
"Wait! Guys, I'm coming too!" Ben cried out hurrying over.
"There it is," Aithne says with a smirk, moving to the side so Ben gets in, removing her hand from the door.
After walking through the jungle thankfully the Watch Tower where they watch the herd on day one was not too far away from the camp, they reach to the fence, Aithne goes to open the fence gate, it won't budge.
"Locked," Aithne stated.
"Oh wow, guess we can't get in." Ben says trying to not sound so happy about it. "We should all go back before someone comes along and we get in trouble."
Aithne starts to climb up the fence, thinking she can open the gate from the over side when she got close to the top she failed to noticed that the top is sticking out, stopping her from getting over.
"So much for that idea," Aithne thought
"Ta-da!"
Aithne looks down at the open gate and Brooklynn looking smug, Aithne jumps down with ease.
"What? You didn't see my 'Unboxing Kathmandu' video, hacks for when you lock yourself out of your hotel room."
"I've not seen any of your videos," Aithne says casually.
"Last to the top is a rotten egg!" Sammy exclaimed, running inside.
"Later rotten egg."
Yasmina follows after, Aithne shrugs her shoulders and follows them, then the rest follow suit. When the campers reach the top, most are out of breathe apart from Yasmina and Aithne is slightly out of breathe, glad she included running in her daily training beforehand, but she really could have avoided it today after two days of gym work and really needs a rest day.
"Is anybody else hot?" Sammy panted. "It is hot."
"Yeah, it is," Aithne said, wiping the sweat of her brow. "I'm not built for this heat."
"Not bad fisticuffs," Yasmina commented.
"I've done my fair share of runs Track Star," Aithne replied, they hear Kenji panting as he drags himself up the last steps. "Unlike some."
Yasmina scoffs a laugh.
"No more stairs!" Kenji pants. "There better be something good."
All campers look around when they got close to the railing tower rattled when something rumbled, they look out into the jungle.
"There's something out there," Brooklynn says
"Something big," Darius added.
In no time they see a dinosaur that they recognises.
"It's one of those long neck ones," Aithne sighs.
"It's just a Brachiosaurus," said Yasmina.
"Yeah that one."
They sigh in relief watching to Brachiosaurus bellows as it eat leaves from the nearest tree.
"Ooh, mystery solved," Ben says. "Guess we should head back now."
Ben starts walking away but Aithne stops him by grabbing the back of his neck shirt, he pauses mid-step.
"But that doesn't make any sense," Darius questioned. "Brachiosaurus don't roar like that, they're more like."
While Darius imitates what a Brach sounds like, Aithne did start think, if the roar they heard back at the camp was not a Brachiosaurus then what did make that noise.
"Hey!"
They look down bellow to see two Park employees shouting at them, but with them high up they cannot get a clear word out of them.
"What are they saying?" Darius asked.
Aithne tries to listen but its no use.
"Oh great," Ben whined. "They look mad. I told you we'd get in trouble."
"Shh!" Aithne hushed. "Can't make out what they are saying."
"You're gonna have to speak up!" Kenji called out.
"If we can't hear them, then they can't hear us," Aithne says.
The Brachiosaurus bellows, the teens turned they gaze back at the dinosaur only to see it suddenly collapse disappearing from the tree line, the teens step back gasping in fear, what could take down one of the biggest herbivores on the island, Aithne sees movement from the tree where it fell, she first thought it was the wind, but there is no breeze, then realised the movement heading towards where the two workers, then became solid figure, a huge pale white dinosaur shows itself. The workers carried on shouting at them, unaware the danger right behind them, by the time they realised it was too late, the teens while paralysed with fear and can do nothing but watch in horror as the Dinosaur eats the workers, it roars out, the same roar they heard back at camp.
"What is that?!" Yaz exclaimed.
"It got him!" Ben shrieked. "It got-"
Aithne places her hand other his mouth, placing her finger to her lips telling him to be quiet, he nodded, understanding that if they stay quiet it might not spot them.
"Dr Wu's Lab," Brooklynn realised. "There was a dinosaur, In-"
"Indominus Rex!" Sammy whispered.
"How do you know that name?" Brooklynn asked looking at Sammy.
"Wait! Your saying Wu made that thing?!" Aithne questioned.
"But there's no dinosaur named-" Darius joins in but was cut off by Sammy.
"There's no time," Sammy says, backing away to the stairs. "We need to leave, now, now, now! We have to go."
"Up here is safe, down there isn't," Kenji whispers backing away too. "Besides, this high up, its not like whatever- Rex there can see us."
And on cue like on every jinx unknown to mankind, it was looking right at them.
"You just had to say it?!" Aithne hissed.
"It sees us!" Ben yelled.
It charges at the tower, ignoring the fence that stood in between them, it rammed right into the tower, the sheer force alone made the tower shake violently, they loss balance falling into one another or something, Aithne sees that Kenji, Darius and Yasmina are still close to the railing, the sound of metal groaning against a heavy weight. The Indominus is trying to climb up the tower.
"Get away from the railing!" she says grabbing Darius and Yaz pulling them back.
The tower shakes again knocking them around, Sammy hits the railing, Ben nearly falls, Aithne grabs him by the arm pulling him back behind her, the tower moves forward slightly, Sammy falls over the railing, Yasmina grabs her hand in time.
"Sammy!" Yasmina calls out.
Aithne hurries over, reaching out to the Texan, she grabs onto the MMA fighters hand, she and Yasmina start pulling her back up, with the help from Daruis and Kenji. Once back on the decking, relief was sort lived when the tower groans and slowly moves, they need to get off the tower and fast.
"The zip-line," Darius tell them. "Go, go, go!"
They hurried over, Brooklynn and Kenji help Ben get on one of the chairs while Aithne gets the other chairs ready for the next camper, once Ben was strapped in, Kenji pushes him down the line, the Indominus is getting more and more frustrated that it can't get them, the bangs are getting worse, Aithne helps the others in their seats, Sammy, Kenji, Brooklynn, where on their way, when she made sure Yasmina and Darius are strapped in, before herself, as they last of the group get ready to go, they see the others have stopped moving.
"What's going on?" Yasmina says.
"It's the emergency brake," Darius answered.
"I got an idea," Aithne unstraps her seat, then heads to Darius and does the same. "Darius hold on to Yasmina."
"What?"
"Just do it," she says walking back to the other end of the deck behind her, Darius has no choice but to sit a Yasmina's lap.
"Darius, Mina you two hang on tight," she instructed, cracking her neck, rolling her shoulders, hyping herself up.
"Aithne what are doing?" Yaz exclaimed.
Aithne didn't answered, takes a deep breath as she pulls the strap on her bag to tighten it up securely, before running towards them.
"HOLD ON!" Aithne shouts, jumping towards them, grabbing onto the pole above Yasmina and Darius heads,
They speed down the zip-line, Aithne was holding on the pole for dear life, they get closer to the others.
"Brace yourselves!" Aithne called out, before colliding into them, getting them unstuck.
"It's working! it's working!" Darius cheered.
The Indominus has torn off the last part of the support beams at the bottom of the tower unaware that its prey got away, turning its massive head to roar, Aithne looks back, gasping at the rest of the tower collapse forward, the cable falling down, it bounce as did the seats, flying off the cable, along with the teens, Aithne loses her grip as they fall down into the jungle, she reaches out trying to find something to stop her falling, only to met with her body hitting branches from twig that made her grunt in pain, she makes contact with one to the face before she his the jungle floor, and darkness is all she knew.
flashback*
Two years ago
In a hospital, Aithne's mam is lying in bed, looking more tried, gaunt looking, her hair gone and is covered by a head scarf, when a 14-year-old Aithne walks into the room.
"Hey Ma," she greets. "Da has taken the boys to the canteen to grab somethings for ya, I brought the book you wanted."
"Thank you love,"
"I won my fight, and the money we raised is going to help the village hospital back home, you won't have to keep going back and forth all the time now."
"Aithne," her mother says with a deep sigh. "You know this… this isn't going away. You and everyone have done all you can."
Aithne blinks fast, trying to keep the tears from forming in her eyes, so she lowers her head, her mother reaches out lifting up Aithne's chin, then cups her daughter's bruised cheek.
"You've been so brave my little girl, but it is okay to cry," she says brushing a stray tear falls with her thumb. "Tears fall a good reason, and they are ones strength, and not ones weakness, it's okay love."
Aithne looks at her mother, seeing her smile, even tried and shattered she is still looking out for her child, Aithne could not stop the tears from falling, inhales a sob then lowers her head on to her mother's shoulder, Aithne's mother wraps her arms around her, her left hand on the back of her daughter's head, Aithne closed her eyes shut, sobbing into her mother's hug allowing herself to be vulnerable, here in this moment she was not a fighter, a big sister, but just a daughter seeking comfort in the safety of her mother's arms.
End of flashback*
Aithne's eyes snap open, feeling pain on her face, back and left kneecap, slowly rising up with a grunt, she sees the course of the pain in her knee, her jeans leg had been torn at the shin, several long shallow gashes, blood has stained her jeans already. While her senses came back fully as she sit up, feeling something warm flowing down from her eyebrow, she closes her eye just before it could get in her eye, quickly wiping it away with her unrolled sleeve that undid itself during the fall. She notices the other scratches and bruises on her arms, hands and as she stands she holds her left side, already knowing she has a bruised rib taking steady breaths she look around the other campers are starting to wake up, Aithne heads over to Yasmina first as she was closer to her.
"Can you stand?" Aithne says, helping her up.
"Yeah," Yasmina grunted.
Aithne saw red on Yasmina's shoulder, her jacket sleeve was torn, seeing a long gash on her upper arm, along with small cuts on her left cheek as well as a few more scrapes on her legs, but other than that she seemed fine. Aithne and Yasmina started to aid the rest of the group, Aithne had over to Ben he seemed to have more cuts then bruises, a big cut on his chin, the rest where shallow on his neck, arms, and legs. She hears Brooklynn groan holding her face, Aithne helps her after Ben was on his feet, she spot blood drip down Brooklynn's cheek, she gently removes the younger girl's hand and sees the damaged, the bridge of her nose is heavily bruised with a deep cut, her time in fights she knows that it will be dire need of ice but surprised she did get a black eye. In the corner of her eye she sees Kenji slowly getting down from a nearby tree, once he got on solid ground she was nurseling his side while his other hand held his forehead his right eye already becoming a shiner, and deep cut on his left shin.
Yasmina tended to Sammy, the Texan also had a deep bruise on her cheek bone, a split lip, and a deep cut on her right lower arm close to the elbow, and judging by how she winced when Yasmina puts Sammy arm over her shoulder she has more injuries on her back. Darius is the last the get up in the group, his nose was bloody, and blood was coming down the right side his forehead near his hairline. They were all worse for wear.
Hearing the roar from that beast made they all jump. They started to question everything that just happen, trying to pinpoint where they crash landed, another roar is called out, they huddled together, Aithne had only one thing on her mind, getting back to Camp, the same roar rang out again, it sounded closer. They had to leave.
"Back to Camp!" Aithne spoke to the other. "Go! move!"
She gets Ben to run be shoving him, then Darius, everyone else started running Aithne is the last of the group, thanks to the wound on her leg, and still winded from the fall, ever step was hell but at least she can see everyone in her line of sight, despite everyone's injuries they kept on going, they had too. Recognizing the trees they were close to campsite, the now destroyed campsite, they slowly walk towards the runed area, it did not take them long to know what was responsible for the destruction when the long claw makes on the bark of the main tree, and the footprints on the gravely ground.
"Dave, Roxie, the other workers," Sammy broke the silence. They must've all gotten away."
Aithne was near an underside down Jurassic World jeep, seeing the blood on the seats and windscreen, she didn't need to guess what happened to the poor soul who was driving the vehicle, hearing footsteps approach behind her, she quickly gets up to block the carnage behind her.
"Don't look Ben," she says gently pulling him away.
"Not all of them," Ben whimpered clinging on to her arm.
But he trips over, Sammy hurries over to him, Aithne looks back at the jeep, a thought came to her.
"Guys, try finding the radio," she called out. "We need to contact Roxie and Dave or anyone," She turns to Sammy. "Take Ben away from here, I'll check the jeep for a radio or anything."
Sammy does as she is told and leads ben back to the group, Aithne turns her attention back to the car, taking a deep breath when she lowers down at the front seats, hoping to find anything useful, she checked under the seat finding a crushed first aid box that was beyond salvaging, the car radio was in no better shape than the box.
"Give me my phone!"
Aithne jumped hitting her head on the dashboard.
"Dammit Pinky" she gambled, she smacks her fist on the dashboard in annoyance.
The glove compartment opened, and a 45 pistol with case and all fell out, she grabs it quickly, pull herself out of the car, to see the gun in the sunlight, fiddling to get the magazine out to see how many rounds are in, luckily all 7 are in.
"Hey back off," Yaz shouts. "Not everything revolves around you and your phone! It isn't Sammy's fault you lost it!"
Aithne sighed, running her hand down her face, wincing when she touched her blooded eyebrow no doubt it has started bleeding again, they need to get out of here and find Roxie and Dave pronto. She stands up, seeing how the argument is getting worse, with no choice she removes the gun from its case then turned the safety off, points the gun into the air on her right, she fires, the bang echoes, the group jump with a gasp, or in Ben's case falls to the ground landing on his backside with a shriek, they all look to see Aithne holding the gun walking towards them.
"Ok now that I've got your attention, this is not the time to bitch and moan," Aithne voice rising, on her last nerve. "We cannot let fear grip its hold on us, we need to work together and not be at each other's throats, we can go back to that when we get the hell out of here."
"You're right Aithne," Darius says, he walks towards her. "It's scary this wasn't how it was supposed to be; things aren't always gonna go your way, life is messy and sometimes, things fall apart. But that's okay because when it happens, we pick up the pieces and keep going, and we never give up."
"Exactly Darius," she places a hand on his shoulder, "We stand together, as a team, to keep moving forward."
"What about your necklace Darius?" Brooklynn asked.
"It's not important," he replied. "I've got the memories right here," he puts his hand over his heart.
"What are we supposed to do?" Yasmina asked.
"We head for the main park and find help," Aithne replied, she straps the gun in her belt. "Right Dino Kid?"
"Right Fisticuffs, and like you said, we'll make it is if we do it together, as a team, or we are nothing at all."
"Or you know, we don't go back into the jungle," Ben warily added.
"You can wait for the negligent babysitters," Kenji responds, putting an arm around Darius's shoulder. "But I'm with them,"
"Wait really?" Darius asked.
"Dude there's no way I survived a dinosaur attack," he states, before he missing getting hit by a fallen wood broad. "Just to be taken out by cheap camp debris, Kenji ain't going out like that," he walks away pulling Darius with him. "We're going south the rest of you coming or what?"
"I'm in," Brooklynn says following after them.
"We're in too," Yasmina says for herself and Sammy, walking after the other, leaving just Ben.
"Um but guys?" Ben whines.
"Come on Ben," Aithne says gently, "We are safer in a group."
He slowly walks; Aithne put an arm around his shoulders protective.
"We are going to get out of here Ben," she encouraged him while they catch up with the group.
Well that's that, again sorry for not posting, but I should be posting more in the near future… hopefully.
Anyway with Season 3 of Chaos Theory coming in April, I'll be inspired to write more, plus I've already got some scenes for when I write the sequel to this, so I better start writing more, but life and the universe just loves proving me wrong doesn't it.
Stay safe and take care of yourselves.
Till next time x
