To trust, or not to trust?
[Kenji POV]
"It can't be."
"Is it?"
"I'm seeing it too"
"That is most def a bonfire"
"People! People!"
"Someone got our SOS signal"
"Let's go find them"
"It's time to go home!"
We're trekking through the rainforest again, but this time, for a good reason: to find the people
We're saved
"Oh we're almost there. I can feel it."
Brooklyn scurries up a tree. "I can see it! We're getting nearer!"
(all cheer)
We run again, but even faster.
I climb up a tree and spot the bonfire getting closer. Yes!!
"Come on! We're so close!"
"Guys, We're going home!"
"Oh it's real!"
Darius goes up another tree. Then he drops back down.
His face says it all: bad news.
Of course.
"The bonfire. It's gone"
"What if they left?"
"What if the people who came to save us gave up and we missed our chance?!"
(roars)
Darius yells and we all group together and raise the tree branches we have for defense. I hold up my butter knife with shaking hands.
"C-could be a really big compy right?" I say. "Darius. Didn't you say there were creepo skylarks?"
"I said they were crepuscular"
(leaves rustle)
On my left, a Carnotaurus with one horn bursts out and snaps at us. We leap out of the way just in time.
We all run. Again.
Suddenly, I hit a tree. My butter knife slips out of my hand and lands on the ground. There's no time to pick it up.
Sammy trips on me. Darius, Brooklyn, and Yaz stay in front of us, raising their branches. I leap backwards.
The Carnotaurus runs towards us.
(whizz, crackle)
A red crackle lights up the sky.
"Get down!" A man yells.
A muscular arm pushes Brooklyn backwards. Two female arms pull me out of the way.
(gunfire booming)
Three people shoot the Carnotaurus. One is a female, dressed as an English tourist. Two men, one with khaki trousers, and one with tourist clothes (like the woman) stand with her.
The dinosaur runs away.
They turn to us.
"Oh thank goodness. Are you okay?"
"You are okay, aren't you?"
"Who- who are you?"
"Well after all that, you should probably call us your salvation" the woman smiles
