The Arks: Over Heaven (by Ben)

Chapter 38: Assembly

Part 2/2

After Paige’s brief explanation, and what the new plan would be, Ben just kind of stared at Skyler, then back at Samuel, then back at Skyler, and then back at Samuel one more time.

“So that’s our plan now? Just find Tiffany?” Ben asked. He looked at Samuel again.

“Yeah, that is our plan. We have already tamed a Pteranodon,” Samuel said, signaling at the flying reptile. It let out a croak. Samuel seemed to be thinking for a moment, before finally saying, “I think we should go west. That would prove beneficial. Me and my team before joining here met quite a few people. I think it’s a good spot for a base.”

“But, also,” Samuel added on, “We need to go north. So I was thinking that me and my team would go out to search for her there.”

“Wait, up north? Right? Does that mean we’re going to the swamp?” Aurora asked with a tint of fear in her voice.

“Hmm. Well, I suppose, yes. That’s where we’re going, if that’s north,” Samuel said. Aurora blinked her eyes, and Samuel seemed to have caught on.

“Well. I don’t think Tiffany would want to stay in a place like that. So maybe a bit farther up. To there,” Samuel said, pointing at a large treeline of sequoia trees.

Ben scratched his head, blinking slowly.

“Yeah. So, a cool plan, I guess. But who’s taking the Pteranodon?”

“Maybe Gary should, he is quite a skilled hunter,” Simon suggested.

“Sure, I don’t mind,” Gary accepted the offer.

“Wait,” Chris said aloud. All eyes turned to him, “I am up to do it. I-I want to go.”

“Oh, okay,” Simon said, “I guess Chris can go then since he volunteered.”

Skyler didn’t interject.

“Cool plan. Let’s do it tomorrow morning then?” Ben said.

“Yeah, tomorrow morning,” Samuel said, then replying, “Man I’m getting sleepy!”

Everyone chuckled softly, and Skyler wrapped her arms around herself, shivering from the cold.

With that, everyone went to bed.

The next morning, everyone was preparing to leave for the journey.

Chris had saddled a Pteranodon, and nervously clambered onto its back. He looked back at everyone, who was cheering him on, and then he waved goodbye and flew off.

Pretty cool okay I don’t want to work on this chapter anymore you’ll see Samuel and the others in Chapter 40.
