JPV: Life Finds a Way: Chap. 2 part 4
By Mr Goodbytes
Chapter 2 part 4: Campsite.
“What the hell happened!”
Simone was frightened and angered at the same time by what she saw. The entire group mumbled and whispered among themselves. Grant could barely breath. He closed his eyes, praying that it was just another nightmare. Billy Brennan stood in stunned silence. The people just stood in place for another five minutes before Grant moved forward into the camp.
Dr. Grant walked among the ripped tents, shredded clothes, and body parts. He knew that the animals were responsible, but he held his knowledge from the others until he found solid evidence. He bent over a indent in the ground. After studying it for less than a minute, he knew exactly what he was looking at. A fresh footprint! Grant practically leapt straight off the ground. He turned to face the group.
“My God, They’re still here!”
Even as he said it, Grant could feel something stalking up behind him. Simone glanced past Alan, and screamed. Grant turned, and came face to face with the creatures he feared.
“Run! Into the jungle! Find a tree,” Grant screamed.
The humans fled full speed into the thick jungle foliage. The pack of small, feathered Deinonychus followed the humans. Glancing back, Grant saw three of the creatures pounce on Igor, slashing his chest and biting his throat. The group scattered, everyone going in separate directions. Grant and Billy found a suitable tree, and climbed as far as possible. From their vantage point, they could see the beasts bent over Igor. Alan Grant turned away as the lead Deinonychus ripped a chunk of flesh from the dead man’s stomach. Billy, however, found it fascinating in some sort of morbid manner which he could not explain. He sat in the branches of the tree and watched.
Two hours later, the humans descended from their treetop hideaway. They quickly regrouped. They had lost two, Igor Karev and Robert Dalva. Karev’s body, or what was left of it, was laying a few meters away. There was no sign of Dalva. It was possible that he survived, but Grant doubted it. Grant, although scared and extremely exhausted, managed to compose himself and take control of the dire situation. He could tell that the group was starting to break up. They were all arguing amongst each other for leadership.
“First of all,” Grant said interrupting, “We need to get out of here. This is obviously dangerous territory, not to mention that fresh carcass over there ready to attract scavengers.”
“If there are Deinonychus on this island,” Billy said, “It stands to reason that there are other species as well.”
At these words, they all gazed at the paleontologists for a moment, then followed their newly elected leaders into the jungle. Billy leaned forward, and asked Grant where they were headed.
“I have no idea,” Grant said, “But I do know that these aren’t InGen’s creations.”
“How do you know that.”
“Two reasons,” Grant replied, “Firstly, there were no Deinonychus on Nublar.”
“What’s the second reason?”
“All of the dinosaurs were wiped out shortly after Jurassic Park. Someone else has done this, and I intend to find out who.”
A loud roar erupted from the jungle. Though it was far away, Grant led the group away from the sound.
