The Island- chapter V

The light of the campfire illuminated the three dilos that were circling Marcel’s camp, a green one, a blue one, and a gray one. They were pacing back and forth, not taking their eyes off of Marcel. He was pacing too, spear in one hand and hatchet in other. He gripped the leather handle of his weapon tightly as the dinosaurs watched him. Then they moved. The green dilophosaur began moving to his left, and the blue one came straight towards him, frill and claws flared. The animal pounced, but Marcel was ready. He reared and swung his hatchet, catching the animal in the head and spraying blood everywhere. The dinosaur fell, but pounced again. Marcel was calm as he jabbed his spear into the animal’s chest and killed it.

What he was not prepared for, however, was for the other dinosaur to spit acid on his back and burn him. Marcel yelled in pain, and swung around to confront the small beast. As he turned, the dilo leapt and bit onto his arm. Marcel again shouted in pain, but prayed the relatively weak jaws of the creature off his arm, and threw it to the ground. It got up and pounced, and Marcel swung his hatchet down, spiriting the creatures skull and killing it instantly.

Magnus began chirping furiously, and as Marcel turned around, he realized why. The third gray dilo was charging at him, and Marcel was caught off guard. Just then, Magnus leapt off his shoulder and landed on the dilo, clawing and biting at the creatures eyes. During the struggle, the dinosaur grabbed Magnus by the tail and threw him into the sand below, and then turned his attention to Marcel. However, it was too late for the dilo, as Marcel raised his spear and drove it in the beasts open mouth as he was hissing. The spear came out the other side of the beast’s skull and it died. Marcel’s grip on his spear loosened, and it fell out of his hands, with the twitching dinosaur still impaled on the end. His gaze turned upward, and for the first time, he noticed an immensely tall, glowing red pillar, easily 600 feet tall and diamond shaped, almost like the…thing…in his…

Marcel’s eyes shot open as he gasped for air. He was on a beach in the very early morning. He then realized something was on his chest. It was Magnus, chirping wildly. He passed out after the dilophosaur scuffle and it was now early morning on the fifth day, and he still had not recovered from his injuries from the previous night. He stood up and hobbled over to his cabin to attend to his wounds with fresh water and makeshift bandages. After attending to his wounds, he collapsed from exhaustion into his sleeping bag. Unless you count his unrestful black out the night before he was running on no sleep since day three. By the time he awoke, it was past noon. He went outside and stretched, then he cleaned and skinned the three dilos. He cooked the meat over a fire, but he saved the hide. He had an idea for what he could do with it, and he decided to put his idea into action when he saw a parasaur nearby eating from some bushes. He was going to get himself a mount…

Tbh I didn’t think I’d get to writing chapter V, I thought I would do chapter one and maybe two and then quit. But here I am, and still going strong! I hope you all enjoyed reading!!!
