It's Quiet Until It's Not

And with a flip of a switch, Scar was silent all over again, she followed the campers around like she had during their first ever interaction, when Jurassic World first initially started evacuation. Scar didn't know where they were going, nor what they were doing out here in the first place, but knowing the campers, Scar knew that they had a reason to be out here, and some sort of plan, meaning Scar wouldn't interfere, she would just oblige and follow along.

To say the least, the campers were a bit shocked to see Scar, she was talked about very little by the campers, besides Ben, it's not that the rest of them forgot about her, it was just that they thought that she was still on Isla Nublar, living her best life, and with everything that was happening on this strange island, Mantah Corp island to be exact, it was best to focus on what was happening on this particular island rather than anything else.

Scar appeared differently to the campers, she was larger in height, larger in strength, and her most prominent feature was that she had scars and bruises all her body, which were from the fights, and some were from Wu or Hawkes, and a couple of them were fresh from her fight with Prickle.

The campers weren't the only ones growing out of their clothes, Scar was too. Scar's black crop top was teared at every seam, barely hanging on by a thread, she already had rips solely from Isla Nublar, and now that she had rapidly grown and her got into fights, it only added to her current state of clothing.

Now was a time that Ben was grateful not to see, if Ben saw all the scars that Scar had on every inch of her skin, Ben would lose it for sure. The campers that could see, couldn't help but stare at her scars and wonder what could've possibly happened, "Beastie, what happened to you?" Yasmina asked out of concern and curiosity, but she received nothing more then a shake from Scar's head.

And just like Scar, the campers stayed quiet, the campers didn't want to talk about their experiences with Wu, and if Scar was with Wu, why should they make Scar open up and talk about it? The campers didn't know for sure that Scar was with Wu, they could form a few hunches based off how Scar was acting, but her injuries could've been from anywhere, from the T-Rexes of the forest biome, the Spinosaurus of the desert biome, the Dilophosauruses of the mysterious biome, anything.

Scar was known for throwing herself into to dangerous situations, especially when it included dinosaurs. Scar's personality could've been because of the isolation from the campers for such a long while. But, they couldn't confirm anything. As they were making way towards their final destination, which was in a desert, they all had to walk through one of those airlocks, a few of them heard heavy footsteps echoing through the hallway.

It could've been anything or anyone, a BRAD, a BRAD-X, Kash, Darius, Mae even, but there was no time to take any chances. A loud snarl came through the hallway, hitting the campers and Scar right in the faces. "No.." Scar muttered, 'Not right now' Scar thought to herself, "What is it, Scar?" Kenji asked. "Get all out." Scar's hand slowly let go of Ben's, "...Scar?.." Ben asked as he felt her hand slip away from his. "What's going on?" Yasmina asked and the snarl appeared to coming closer, as it sounded like nails were being dragged along a chalkboard, it was more of nails being dragged along the metal, Ben covered his ears, pressing his palms against his ears tightly.

Scar looked up to Ben, she didn't want to leave him, but she was left with no choice, if it was who Scar thought it was, things would not be good for him or the campers. Scar sat up on her knees, removing Ben's hands from his ears, and placing her hands on the side of his face, "It's okay." Scar said as she planted a small kiss on his forehead, "Kenji, get all out!" Scar yelled as she ran down the airlock. "D-Did...she just kiss me.." Ben asked.

"On the forehead...?" His eyes seemed to well up, "..Yeah, dude, she must really love you..." Kenji stared blankly down the airlock, trying to figure out what had happened in almost a heartbeat. "Where'd she go?" Ben asked, "Is she...still here?" Ben asked.
"We have to get to the desert biome." Kenji firmly said, "She'll find us again, she always does." Kenji composed himself as he grabbed Ben's hand, "This way." Kenji began to lead the way once again.

But, when Scar turned the corner, nothing. It was nothing, nothing was there, nobody was around, the person she thought it was wasn't there. What was happening? She had heard the snarls, Ben and the rest of the campers did too, she wasn't going crazy, was she? Were they all going crazy? Scar voiced a slight gasp as she had just realized what she had done, she had just abandoned Ben and the campers, right after, as soon as she got them back, she went running off for no reason at all.

Scar's chest heaved as she struggled to control her breathing. She wasn't crazy, it was real, the sound she heard was real, Scar frantically looked around, up and about, trying to find who she thought it was. Not that she wanted to find them, she just needed her suspicions to be confirmed. Now, she had no idea where the campers were, these airlocks could go anywhere and by the time she ran back, they'd already be gone. Scar had to get out of this maze of airlock hallways and doors, as she looked around, she was faced with the bright lights that were along the ceilings of these airlocks, and she couldn't help but be transported to her quiet white room.

For some reason the snarling happened again, was this just in her imagination? Did her mind repeat this specific sound all over again just so she could have something to listen to in all the silence? That didn't make sense, if the campers heard it too...or maybe they were just falling into her delusion, what if Scar just imagined the questions that Kenji and Yasmina asked so she could feel apart of the group again? What if she was just imagining this all...what if she was still in her cage at the warehouse!

Maybe her escape plan didn't work and she was just dreaming this, Wu put her out of her misery and she was waiting to wake up in her cage. Though, Scar didn't have a lot of time to doubt herself, because when she happened to turn back around the way she came, a certain someone was running at her full speed, their arms stretched out, aiming for her neck.
