"i cant lose you again!" -benrius

Mitch looked back over to me.

"..." he didn't speak.

You could see the confusion in his eyes when there was no bang.

"Wha- how? Why? I thought.. its... uh, " he studied the gun, trying to understand what went wrong.

I couldn't help but laugh.

"it's empty, you idiot!" I managed to say between laughing.

He angrily through the gun across the room and kicked one of my gunshot wounds.
But at this point, it just made me laugh more.
I was on the floor crying with laughter.

Soon enough, he got so mad he just angrily stomped off like a toddler.

I waisted no time, grabbing the empty gun, I stuffed it in my pocket.

"Drarius?" Said Tiffs voice from the other side of the door.

I imidiatly stopped laughing, "Yes?.."

"Come on.. just bring us to the watering hole? And we'll leave out certain dinos that indangererd or ones that you like?" She responded.

"And if I don't?" I asked her.

"If you don't? We'll kill all those stupid little campers. you'll watch them die knowing you could have saved them." Answered Mitch.

They wouldn't..  would they?

"Dar?! They'll kill you, Toro. And other dinos!" John pointed out.

[Yeah.. but if-] I didn't get to finish my sentence before the door unlocked to tiff and mitch with big black cases in their hands.

"We're going." She said.

I sighed, I couldn't just let her kill everyone and everything!

"Fine. But you better keep your side of the promis!" I answered.

They smiled evilly and motioned for me to follow.

I attempted to stand but failed, as I had many wounds on my legs and feet.

I collapsed back onto the floor.

"COME ON!" shouted tiff who was walking off already.

Mitch gave me a look before he walked over and put one of my arms over his shoulder.

We walked outside and over to Tiff.

"How fucking long was I in there?" I asked without thinking.

"About... five to six days?" Answered Mitch.

I haven't seen the light of day in five to six days?!

"Let's go." Said mitch and made me direct the way.

We walked towards the watering hole. On the way, I explained what they couldn't kill. Some of them were: Carnotaurus, trex, an asymmetrical ankylosaurus, raptors, over 3 of anything.

"Didn't we already kill a carnotaurus?" Asked Mitch.

"WHAT?" I shouted.

☆☆☆☆With Ben and everyone else☆☆☆☆
Bens pov:

It's been six days since I saw darius last.

Sammys convinced darius I alive.
Kenji and Brooklyn think he's dead.
Me and yaz haven't talked about it.

We were all around the fireplace. No one was talking.
We all just sat there.

"How about truth or dare to lift everyone's spirits?" Asked Brooklyn.

"Okay, I guess," answered Kenji.

"Sure," agreed Sammy, who dragged yaz into the game.

Everyone's heads turned to me, "No thanks, I'll just sit by the gate."

"You do you, I guess."

I didn't pay much attention to everyone. Only one question caught my attention.

"Yaz, truth or dare?" Asked kenji.

"Truth"

"Are you and sammy besties or dating?"

"Where did you get that from? Were just friends!" She said.

Sammy nodded in agreement.

My attention faded again, and I thought about Darius instead.

If I had followed him, we probably would have been fine.

It's my fault.

I replayed every moment with him in my head.

Now I knew I missed him, I spent so long thinking about him, that I started hearing his voice:
"What?!"
"You didn't!"
And then laughing.

It was very faint, but I knew it was his voice.
