SECOND CONFIGURATION

Chapter 4: Escape from hell

Execution In the deep black, Ember heard a loud sound coming from above. He stood up, lifted his head, and stared up at the platform. To his surprise, he saw Wu and a large, older, rough-looking man, with a deep scar from his left eyebrow, to his upper lip. He looked like a savage beast. Wu's face was steel. He spoke, with authority. "There," He said. "Do the female first." The man-beast smirked, and said, "you want it to suffer, or drop dead?" "It's not funny" Wu said, now aggressive, and clinching his small fist. The other man still smirked, but it was less prominent. So was his voice. "Eh, its kind of funny... Conus Purpuascens, or, sleeping serum?" Wu looked like he was going hit the man right in the jaw for his sarcastic comments. He started yelling. "We put a lot of money into both of those assets, OK? I am losing expensive creatures here, Wilson! Now, make it quick before I make sure you don't have job in the next few minutes, you low-life! "The big man started to look like nothing more than a little child, being confronted by his parent. A funny turn of events, Ember thought. The man began to load a dart into a dart gun. "Ok, ok...ok..." He mumbled. " Ought to test it on you first..." Ember was wondering what was going on. He noticed that V-2 had stood up, and was growling, and hissing at the two men. Then, Ember heard a pop, and at the exact same instant, watched V-2 collapse onto the stone floor. "It worked, she's dead." Said the big man. Ember rushed over to V-2, wondering what had happened. he nudged her... She was dead. Panic. Pure panic flowed through the Raptors mind. Inside the networks of the mind the second most intelligent creature on the planet, came nothing but a primeval instinct: RUN. Ember could hear the click, and rattle of the man loading one the darts. He had to get out of here, now. He looked around. Then he saw the pipes. Yes! the pipes on the walls! He ran forward, jumped onto the them, and began to climb at lightning speed. Wu watched this in horror. Then he shoved the other man aside, and slammed on the button to open the door. The door hissed open, and Wu ran out. By this time Ember was on the platform, staring at the big man. He looked funny. His mouth was wide open, his bottom jaw hung low, and his eyes were the size of toy balls Ember used to play with. The man stood there, silent. He didn't even make a move. Wilson felt something wet and warm run down his leg, and onto the floor. The reason he didn't move, was because the T.rex couldn't see you if you didn't move. It must work the same for the Raptors, right? Wrong. The Raptor lunged at him. "Aw, Crap!!!!" He screamed. He fired his tranquilizer gun, but the dart hit the wall. The animal pinned him on his back, its face just inches away. He Watched as the beast dug it's claw deep into is belly, tearing muscle, and then his insides. Wilson screamed. He looked up at the Raptor, and watched as the auditorium of teeth, came down... Wu was running so fast, his vision was nothing but a blur. He could hear Wilson's screams, echoing through the large building. He made it to the vehicle parked next to a pile of steel pipes. He looked back behind him. The screams has stopped. He saw Ember inside the building eating... He felt like throwing up. The Raptor gave no mind to the man, so he opened the door, jumped inside, and started the vehicle. He looked back at the building. Ember was now standing there, staring at him. In a flash, he put it in gear, and stepped on the gas. SLAM!!! He slammed into the pile of pipes. "Dang it!" He yelled. He had put it in revers on accident. He put it in first, and slammed the gas pedal. He spun on the muddy ground for just a moment, and began to drive away. Ember watched as Wu drove away. I should of tore his eyes out, Ember thought. But it was too late, and he knew they would be back, and soon. He stepped over the body of the big man, and began to trot off into the lush green. He squinted at the sun, as he left his former prison. He was free... Free! If Ember had lips, he would smile. And so, he trotted away from the park, and into the wilds of Nublar... leaving the woods Joshua was leaving. Leaving the woods. He was leaving forever. His boots thumped as he walked through main street. He had pulled himself together. He had been stuck here for far too long, and he was done. He was planning to leave in about a week, after he could scrape up what he needed. his mind was one thing only: Supplies. He needed food, water, and most importantly, gasoline. He need as mush gas as possible for what he what he was going to do. From what he could find out from one an half year old news papers, BX had surrounded most of the state. BUT, there were still two routes out: One towards Louisiana, and one towards El Paso. He did remember that most people had taking the eastern route. He would have taking that one, if it wasn't the route that went right through a BX zone. The map was old, so Joshua believed that the east route was most likely gone. That left him with the El Paso route, which was longer, but most likely still was safe Enough to travel through. So, with that, he decided to that he should try the El Paso, and see if anybody was still alive. It was El Paso or bust, and he wasn't staying here to become Theropod chow. He walked up to old green pickup, its paint peeling, and a headlight shattered. He took a look in the back: Nothing, except a pack-rat nest, and bones. Looked like Compy's liked rodents. He took a look inside the cab. And that is when he saw it: The back-pack. It was not in the best condition, but what the heck. He reached in, and took it out. Inside were some canned food, a old phone, a flashlight, and folded piece of paper. The paper caught his eye. He opened it, and saw that there was writing on it. It read: "To anyone who finds this: My name is Mark, I am 8 years old. I left this stuff to anyone who got left behind. Me and Grandpa are leaving to El Paso. He says it is safe, but I don't really know. I dumped my back-pack in a old truck, so it could be safe. There is a phone so you could call my grandpa when you find this, and I wrote the number to call on the back of the paper. Hopefully the food will help also. If you don't know where to go, come to El Paso. Maybe Ill see..." The ink at the bottom of the page was smeared from getting wet. Joshua read the letter, and felt a tear run down his dusty face.. He felt grateful for what the kid had left behind. It was nothing more than food for one meal, and still Joshua felt grateful for this little futile act of care. It wasn't much, but he tried the phone, dead. He looked at the canned food: Sliced fruit, and soup. He grinned. He hadn't had normal food in a year. He took the letter and put it in his pocket, and he made his way down the street. "Thanks kid..." He said.

Fire water Ember watched from the jungle floor, as the great mountain know as mount Sibo, exploded. From it came red/orange water flow from it. He was safe where he was. The mountain had only effected certain part of the island, he thought, and Ember was not in one. He glanced at Microceratus scampering around. A Compsognathus jumped onto his back, squawking. He snapped at it, almost sticking his teeth into the creature. He had come here after he saw another Raptor(Who he knew as Blue, from when he was still young), being shot, and attacked. He had made a run for it, hoping they would not come for him. The Raptor hear something above. Ember looked up in surprise, as a ball of fire came crashing down in front of him. It exploded, but Ember was already running. It looked like even where he was, was not fully safe. He ran through the jungle, jumping over tree trunks, and other small Dinosaurs. He burst out of the jungle, and onto the beach. The rumbling now was all he could hear. The side of the mountain he was on, exploded with a roar, red and black running down it. Ember watched as a black cloud began to role down the mountain side, gathering speed. It was coming his way. Ember stopped, and listened, to the not so fortunate animals cries... and soon, he would join them...

Void As Joshua walked down a silent street, he cast a glance behind him to make sure a Allosaur or something wasn't stalking him. This is dangerous, he thought. He knew he had to be here, but he still hated being exposed to the world. A world where a invasive species was now present. A world he had to live in, no matter how much he didn't. Since all the big killers were too large to hunt in the woods, they hunted here. This place was now a game trail. Ahead of him, a lone Parasaurophalus fed on a bush. The bush shook as the large animal took bites from it. It looked up at him. It let out a loud trumpeting sound, and stared at Joshua with curious gaze. It probably had not seen a person in a while he thought. To his surprise, a group of Microceratus scurried across the street. Joshua walked up to a small convenience store. He tried to open the door, but it was locked. It was risky, but still. He broke the glass with his foot, and climbed inside. As he stepped into darkness, he looked at the shelves. He expected what he saw: empty, and void. He walked through the entire store, searching, but finding only mouse droppings, dust, and trash. He went up to the cash register. More droppings, but a display box with candy bars sat on it, only a few bars missing. "Guess I'll be the first customer in over a year". He said. "Thank you for shopping at Wal-Mart." He chuckled, and grabbed up all the bars. Then, it clicked. Back stock. He needed to check the back stock. Joshua walked into the back of the store, looking for the door. As he opened the door to back, His eyes opened wide. "Bingo" In the back, sat palettes of food. From what he could tell, it was canned food, and bagged food. He smiled, and walked up to one of the palettes. It took Joshua twenty minutes to load all the food into a Ford Bronco he found in a long a dusty garage. There was stacks of food, but he only took what he needed. By the time he was almost done loading it all up, a dense fog had covered Glen Rose. Joshua walked into the store, grabbed the last bag of food, putting it into his worn back-pack. He went out of the building, paying no mind to the pairs of eyes, that stared from the abyss...
