Chapter Three
The nine of us sat together on the floor, just staring at each other.
“Okay, maybe its juuust me, but staring at each other is not going to help us in this situation,” Louis stood up, crossing his arms, waiting for someone to say something.
“Well than, I’m hungry, so I want to go find some food.” Niall rubbed his stomach, frowning and got up to go explore.
“Whoa, wait you can’t go alone,” Amanda stopped him.
“Why?”
“This place was closed down for a reason. It’s dangerous. You have to bring someone with you.”
“Amanda’s right. You should probably bring someone,” Liam joined in. They made eye contact and smiled at each other.
The rest of us all got up from the floor; we were still in the main hall of the building, where the big structure of the T-Rex was. We have been sitting here all day, starving and restless. I wanted to get up and do something for a change.
“Ill go with Niall,” I volunteered. The girls seemed satisfied, but the guys seemed really uptight on the decision. “What? I can handle myself, believe me!” Harry, Louis, Liam, and Zayn’s expressions made me even angrier.
“No offence love, but sending you and Niall to go find food in Jurassic Park is like sending two baby penguins to go find fish in a polar bears cave,” Harry admitted. Niall gave him a confused look.
“Hey! I’m tougher than a baby penguin!” Niall whined.
“Niall, you cried while recording Moments,” Louis announced. Niall crossed his arm and pouted, because he knew he couldn’t deny the facts.
“Okay, how ‘bout you go with Zayn? Zayn you’ll go wont you?” Liam asked.
“Sure!” he said, flashing me a smile. The two of us nodded to each other in approval and headed towards a door.
“Should we go here?” I asked, starting to shake.
“Sure,” said Zayn, also noticing me shaking, “Aww, is someone scared?”
“Zayn, of course I’m scared! We could die you know?” Zayn laughed and took my hand in his. Then, slowly, we opened the door and stepped inside.
Surrounding us was a huge.. Eating area? Restaurant? Whatever you want to call it, but no signs of Dinosaurs. I gave myself a sigh of relief and it seemed a ton of bricks have been lifted off my shoulders.
“See? We’re safe,” Zayn assured me and we walked in, closing the door behind us.
“Good luck!” Niall yelled after me, and just like that, I was in the dining hall. Zayn and I slowly crept across the kitchen. Feeling better, I loosened my grip from Zayn and started to creep around the dining room. It looked like it had been a really pretty place. The walls were windows, to see the jungle outside of the building, and everything was such elegant material. But now…It was messed up in here. The plates were broken, and utensils were lying all over the place. And the table cloths were half off each table.
“Whoa, its messed up in here,” Zayn said.
“I know,” I whispered, and snatched a butcher knife from the table, you know, just in case. But why was there a random butcher knife in the middle of a dining hall? Wouldn’t that belong in the kitchen?
“Look, here’s the kitchen!” Zayn called me over and I ran toward him. He spotted the butcher knife in my hand, and backed up. “Um, scared much?”
“I have it just in case, shut up!” I pushed Zayn playfully with my free hand.
“Watch out! Don’t stab me!” he screeched.
“I’m not going to stab you!” I laughed at him. Zayn was ridiculous.
“Still! Watch out! Haha, okay lets go,” Zayn opened the next door to the kitchen and we both creeped inside, shutting the door behind us.
Then, there was a scratching noise.
“What was that?!” I screeched, grabbing Zayns wrist. He slowly reached to grab another butcher knife like I had.
“Shhh!” Zayn said, “just. Stay. Still. I see it.” And I saw it too. In front of us stood a pack of Deinonychus dinosaurs. There were at least four of them. Four of the deadliest dinosaurs in history. I would be as luckier than anything in the world if I made it out alive.
They stood eleven feet long, and about four feet high. No wonder their name meant “terrible claws” because these pretadors have at least 5 inch claws. Claws that could easily rip threw my flesh.
The four dinosaurs had their eyes on us, and Zayn and I stood in shock.
“Zayn, we have to go now,”
“Go!” he screamed. The dinosaurs charged at the two of us and I ran towards the door with Zayn, screaming my head off. I swung the door open and ran out. Zayn started to run, when Deinonychus bit him on the ankle and he screamed and fell to the floor.
“ZAYN!” I screamed and ran back to save him. I took my butcher knife, and stabbed the creature in the eye. It winced and ran away. Before anything else happed, I dragged him threw the door and slammed it. Then, I charged and baracaded the door with a chair.
Zayn’s ankle was absolutely brutal. It had a bunch of tiny teeth wounds, which were bleeding terribly. I could see nothing, but the blood all over his skin.
Quickly, I grabbed a cloth napkin from one of the tables and rapped it around his ankle, tying it so that it would stay.
“I guess were not getting any food, hahaha, OW!” Zayn was trying so hard not to show his pain, but I knew he was in complete agony.
“Zayn, don’t try to hide your pain in a time like this. Just put pressure on it okay. I promise you you’re going to be okay,” I lifted him up and put my arm over his shoulders. We slowly limped back to the main hall and closed the door to the dining hall.
“Olivia! Zayn! Did you guys get the… Oh my god what happened?!” Shrieked Julia as she ran towards us.
“Shut it! Guys help me get him to the couch! NOW!” The guys ran towards us and lifted Zayn up to bring him to the couch.
When he got onto the brown leather couch, he sighed and put pressure on his wound with his hand.
“What. Happened!?” Natalie screamed. Tears were streaming down her face, and she had clenched fists, shaking. Natalie hate to see people, or animals, hurt.
“A Deinonychus bit his ankle in the kitchen. There were at least four of them in there. I stabbed it in the eye, and brought Zayn out,”
“She saved my life,” Zayn smiled at me with those big brown puppy dog eyes. Those eyes. I snapped back to realitly.
“No it was nothing,”
“Stop being so modest Liv, you’re a hero,” Niall smiled at me and lifted me up, spinning me in circles looking into me with his big blue eyes. His eyes. Okay, whats it with this group and pretty eyes? Snap out of it Liv! Niall called me Liv.. I liked it. Niall then sat down next to Natalie and put his arm around her to comfort her. Wow, Niall and Natalie were both so similar. She smiled at him, and leaned her head over his chest. Liam, Harry, Amanda, and Julia, were nursing Zayn’s ankle. Or at least… trying to.
“Alright guys, quit it I’m fine!” Zayn pleaded. They all took his advice and backed up. “Olivia, thank you so much,”
“Zayn, it was nothing,”
“Oh it was something,” he smiled at me.
The rest of the day we just sat doing pretty much nothing. Julia had befriended Harry and they were talking to each other on top of the stairs. Liam and Amanda were exchanging survival skills and Dinosaur knowledge with each other, and Natalie sat with Niall as they tried their best not to think about food. Niall had already gone seven hours without food. Louis, Zayn, and I sat together having the strangest conversation about carrots. Zayn had gotten so much better. All of us now knew that we had to be a lot more careful with ourselves.
We continued our carrot conversation when Louis screamed unexpectedly. “AAAAHHHHHH!!!!”
“WWWHHAATTTT?!?!?!?!” Amanda jumped out of her socks, completely falling over into Liams arms. He just stared at her and gave her a charming smile.
“I FOUND A GRANOLA BAR IN MY POCKET!!!” Louis screeched. Then, he got up and handed it to Niall. “Here you go buddy!”
Even though, I was completely starving, I thought it was completely adorable that Louis gave Niall his granola bar. However, Niall felt guily and ended up giving everyone a tiny piece.
“But Niall, you NEVER share food!” Julia yelled in shock.
“In this case, I think I have too,” Niall smiled and munched on his tiny bite of chocolate chip granola bar.
I was really starting to love these boys.
