The Final Arks
Book 1: Shadows Rising
Chapter 11
The trio ran through the forest, soldiers were right behind them, Kronus in the lead.
“Stop right there you filthy morons!” Kronus screamed.
“Never!” Jack shouted back. He ran forwards, heading straight towards the Carnivorous Forest.
“Are you insane?” Frank asked.
“No, just smart” he replied. As they entered the forest, the air filled with snarls, quickly followed by screams of horror. They turned around to see vines coming down from the canopy, impaling people and lifting them up into the trees. Soon blood and pieces of flesh were raining down on the forest floor.
“This is suicide!!” Frank shouted. In a few minutes all the soldiers were dead and Kronus was the only survivor.
“You are going to regret this” Kronus snarled. Suddenly, a giant vine came down from the canopy and impaled Kronus through the head. Blood splattered onto the floor and Kronus was lifted up into the jaws of a huge carnivorous plant which devoured him in seconds.
“Well, that’s the end of him.” Emily said.
“Yeah” Jack replied. Then the plant opened its jaws again and spat out a pile of bone, blood and guts, along with something else.
