⍟ Broken Strings {A Chaos Theory x Male Reader Story - Yasmina}

The group remains in the rescue boat, aimlessly floating through the water. Y/N's fast asleep, slouched against the wall with Yaz's head in his lap. Kenji's curled up on the floor using the egg case as a pillow while Sammy and Darius rest their heads against the cold, heard seating.

Y/N begins stirring awake as he hears Ben muttering to himself, he sits up, careful not to wake Yasmina as he rubs the sleep out of his eyes.

"Stupid phone!" Ben curses, shaking the device out the window with the solar powered charger attached.

"Morning," Y/N peers over at him, "Or, uh, afternoon?"

"Sorry," Ben huffs, "I didn't know you were awake."

"Yeah," Y/N gets up, carefully laying Yaz down on the ground, "Not exactly the easiest place to sleep." He comes over to the window with Ben and rests his head on the sill.

"Find anything on the phone?"

"Nothing I can confirm," Ben sighs, "The cell service, much like the sun, is a little spotty."

"So, I haven't made any headway," He turns the phone for Y/N to see, "Two percent."

"The last thing I wanna do is steer us down the wrong path because I thought I saw something that I actually didn't." He stares down at the phone solemnly.

"Uhm... right..." Y/N nods in confusion.

"Well, luckily, nobody's really steering anyway. Hopefully we can figure out where to go next once we're on shore."

"Yeah..." Ben sighs.

The boat ends up drifting onto the beach of some sort of jungle island. Leaving everyone with second thoughts, considering their experience with that kind of thing.

But they face their fears and climb out of the raft one by one, their feet landing in the damp grass.

Y/N takes Yasmina's hand and the two of them take the lead, cautiously walking into the unknown territory.

"Hey," Yaz smiles, "It doesn't look like the uninhabited island of a deranged billionaire, so, that's something."

"No offence, Kenji." Y/N adds in for his girlfriend.

"None taken." Kenji shrugs.

"Wherever Lang and his crew were going, it couldn't have been far from here." Darius surveys the area.

"Still no service," Ben cuts through, holding Brooklyn's phone up in attempt to get it to connect, "Maybe I can..." He mutters, wandering off.

"Wait," Darius steps forward, "Do you feel that?"

"Is that-" He pauses, rushing over to Ben and pulling him back over to the group just as he wanders towards a herd of dinosaurs.

"A farm." Darius confirms as he sets Ben free.

"We were on that ship way too long to still be in North America, right?"

"Definitely." Ben nods as he and the others duck behind a tree.

"So why are there dinosaurs here?" Darius observes the creatures, "I didn't think any other continents had wild dinos."

"It's probably related to the cargo ship, no?" Y/N offers.

Darius just frowns, "It's not safe for them to be this close to a populated area. We should get them outta here."

"And warn whoever lives there before their adorable farm gets stomped into smithereens!" Sammy adds, observing the house not too far away from the farm.
