JPV: Life Finds a Way: Chap. 4 part 2
By Mr Goodbytes
Chapter 4 part 2: Trapped in a Tree.
“Go away stupid ass!”
“Mr. Corel,” Grant said to Hank, “They’re not going to leave. You’re only wasting your energy.”
“I know that,” Hank replied, “Do you have a better idea?”
“No…”
The Baryonyx bellowed at the humans in the tree. Hank peered down at them and roared back! The dinosaur responded by pounding the bottom of the stand again.
“Just sit down. You’re going to get chomped if you keep it up,” Marlin said.
Hank rolled his eyes, and sat back down.
“Do you feel that?”
“Feel what?”
A slight vibration shook the entire tree. It was a steady shaking, like an earthquake.
“That,” Hank yelled.
The Baryonyx pair felt it also. Roaring, they quickly abandoned the tree, and returned to the safety of the river. Every tree, including their own, began swaying violently. It slowly became obvious to Grant what was happening. A stampede of large animals was heading straight for them!
“Hang on!!!”
Intense animal sounds began sounding throughout the jungle. The humans watched as fifteen large sauropods exploded from the jungle foliage. The thirty foot Amargasaurus
galloped past the tree, their bright red webbed sail and neck spikes wobbled as they ran. They bellowed loudly, trumpeting like an elephant. As they watched, a smaller herd of Saurolophus and Hadrosaurus followed closely behind. One of the massive Amargasaurs smashed the base of their tree with its massive whip-like tail!
“Damn!”
The tree began to creak loudly, another hit like that and it would surly fall.
“We have to get out of this tree!”
One of the smaller, yet still large, Hadrosaurs smashed into the tree.
“Gee, you think!”
“Shut up and stay low,” Billy said impatiently.
Animals continued to swarm past. They were all disappearing into the other side of the jungle, when the very last beast, an Amargasaurus, whacked the base of the tree! A loud snap pierced the air, and the tree began to bend.
“We’re going down!”
Everyone screamed as the tree snapped in half. It seemed like an eternity passed as they fell twenty two feet to the hard ground below. All of the animals had already disappeared back into the jungle, and it was only a matter of time until the Baryonyx returned.
“Is everyone alright,” Grant asked.
They all looked at him, nodding and gasping for their breath.
“We better get moving,” Billy said, “We need to find some shelter.”
One by one, the group marched into the thick, dark, and forbidding jungle.
The Baryonyx pair came slowly out of the river, shaking off like oversized dogs. The male walked in quick strides to the fallen tree. He bent low to the ground, sniffing loudly. His mate joined him as he lifted a small glass container with his massive crocodile jaws. The little bottle shattered in his mouth, sending pain and the scent of Simone’s perfume to his brain. The two animals growled, sniffed the air, and began their search for the helpless humans. They followed the sweet smell into the dense jungle foliage.
