Welcome To Jurassic Hell

Chapter 76: Nightmares Revealed

It was behind me, I could hear it coming. But for some reason, my feet couldn't move fast enough to outrun it.

Out of nowhere, the blue striped velociraptor leaps out and blocks my path. I spin around and dash a different direction, the sound of rushing, following footsteps and screeches trailing right on my tail. I can hear screaming, though I'm not sure if it's myself or someone else. I just keep going.

But then the T-Rex is there, in my way, roaring directly in my face. It's mere feet from chomping me in half before I actually duck away and change route again. This time, a tall tree appears in front of me, easy enough for me to climb but large enough to avoid my chasers.

I can hear them coming.

Actually, I can basically feel them coming.

Goosebumps run across the back of my neck and along the tracks of my arms. I feel my heart skip at each roar and screech that pursues me. There's not one single, straight breath that enters or exits my throat.

Still, I continue, until my body runs into the base of the tree. My fingers scramble to wrap around the branches extending out, reaching for nothing but air and surrounding forest. My feet follow suit, and soon, I find myself at the very top, seating on a thick branch and holding onto the trunk. When I look back down at where I'd come from, the dinosaurs are nowhere in sight. In fact, I can't even hear them.

"Thank God," I sigh in relief. But it doesn't last long.

"Blake! Bee! Blake, help me!"

"Ben?" My voice cracks out a cry. I look up just as a heard of pteranodons fly over my head. A stray one nearly grabs me but I duck, getting its talons tangled in my hair and having a solid handful torn from my scalp. The pain isn't even existent, strangely, not as present as the emotional pain I feel when I spot Ben being dragged up in the air by the dino-birds.

"No! Ben!"

"Bee, help me! Blake!"

"Ben!" I call out to him. I force myself to my feet in a shaky movement, keeping a solid hold on the tree trunk. "Ben, I'm com-"

My words are cut off by my own strained cry. I watch helplessly, as, unlike last time, my brother is torn apart. Arms, legs, all of him. Up until his painful sobs and screams vanish into thin air, choked out by death, and there's no part of him intact.

Soon enough they're all gone, and so is what's left of Ben.

Leaving me in hysterics, crying pathetically and hugging the tree.

"No, no, no...Ben...no."

"Blake! Blake, where are you?"

Darius.

I can't answer the distant call, though, as it's then a growl takes away my attention. Followed by the snap of a branch.

My hands squeeze the tree until they bleed, and my head slowly ducks down.

Right below me, my own arrows sticking out of random parts of its body, is the (or a, I suppose) Scorpios Rex.
