Chapter 16 - The Beast

"So how long do you think we will have to stay in the bush?" Jonathan asked Clayden while lying on the ground. "Uh, I don't know, maybe until they go away," Clayden responded, "Nah really until they go away?" Jonathan said sarcastically. The flying beasts didn't seem to want to go away just circling the area not letting anything go unnoticed. After what felt like hours the beasts started flying away allowing Clayden and Jonathan to make a move. "Ok let's start heading toward outer camp," Jonathan said as they made their way to where they thought the camp was.

Suddenly a shadow flew from the sky and landed in front of them, the beasts from before found them, they looked at the bird and saw a bump on its head. "Wait, no way it's that bird right?" Clayden asked looking defeated, "You mean the one I screwed over yes, that would be him," Jonathan said frowning. The bird screeched at them and flew at Jonathan, "OH ok I see how it is," Jonathan said as he moved out of the way. Unable to run Jonathan had no choice but to fight the bird, "Clayden get to a bush or hide somewhere," Jonathan yelled out, "Good plan," Clayden said sarcastically as he found a place to hide. From behind Clayden a little fluffy dog-like animal walked over and sat next to him, "AH yes you got front row seat too huh?" Clayden said laughing to himself a little, the animal busted and kept looking off into the distance with its tongue hanging out. Jonathan was staring face-to-face at the beast, the beast wanted nothing more than to kill him for what he did. The bird lashed out with its claws, Jonathan went to dodge but was grabbed and slammed onto the floor, the bird on top of Jonathan screeched in his face before holding its claw up to finish him. "Come on Jonathan, get up," Clayden said from the sidelines with a worried look, as the bird's claw made its way to Jonathan he looked in the bush at Clayden then looked back at the bird.

His eyes went blood red and his mind filled with blood just as he caught the claw, tearing the claw off of its foot the bird jumped back. The bird lashed out yet again with more anger in its eyes, Jonathan jumped up jabbed its claw into its neck, and fell dragging the knife from the neck to its waist. With the bird dead Jonathan fell to the ground as his eyes went back to normal, Clayden ran over to him, Jonathan looked at him and raised an eyebrow, "What is that?" Jonathan asked as he looked at Clayden's pet in his arms. "I named him Destroyer," Clayden said as the little creature looked dumbfounded. "OH ok let's get out of here," Jonathan said as they started running away.

"Kymani?" Voices said, *what is that voice?* Kymani thought as he started opening his eyes to James and Toby trying to wake him up. "Bro, how did you kill that thing like that?" James asked helping Kymani up, Kymani looked at his body and felt around, he didn't feel any wounds or broken bones, and he felt fine. "I don't remember how but I guess I did," Kymani said still confused, "We have to brag to Jonathan," James said. "We have to find a new camp," James said to Kymani with Toby agreeing. In the distance they heard screams that sounded like skinwalkers, "OH shit let's get the hell out of here," Kyamni said as they all started to move in the other direction.

Jonathan and Clayden ran to the camp and found nobody there, and they saw the camp in shambles. "What the hell happened here?" Clayden asked rummaging through the stuff, "Look at the sand," Jonathan said pointing to footprints in the sand, "OH isn't that convenient?" Clayden said. Jonathan shrugged as they ran following the footprints. Leaving the sand and going into the forest the footprints continued, "How far do you think they are?" Jonathan asked as he ran in a limping way. "Uh probably pretty far away-," Clayden was cut off as he ran into something. "AH, what the fu-" James said as he turned around to the sight of Clayden and Jonathan. "OH my lord, it's the boys," Kymani said as they ran over to them, "Yeah boys, what's up?" Jonathan said out of breath, "What happened to him?" James asked as he just looked at him with pity. "It's a long story I don't even want to begin with it," Clayden said shaking his head. "Hey Toby what's up man?" James asked as Toby fist-bumped him. While all the boys were catching up, there were roars from the distance, "Nooo not the monkey," Jonathan yelled, "What the heck man?" Kyamni said as he looked at him. "No like an actual monkey," Clayden said backing up Jonathan, as the stomps got closer, so did the roars. The boys started running away but stomps were in front of them too, "Is that a fucking dinosaur," Jonathan said out of breath pointing to a T-rex. "Yeah that is one," James said, "OH look Clayden a dinosaur, remember when you said the thing," Jonathan said smiling and looking at Clayden. "Yeah my bad guys," Clayden said.

"As long as we don't do anything stupid it won't see us," James said as they all looked at the dinosaur, they kept looking but nothing happened. "I'm gonna name it," Jonathan said as he started thinking, "No don't name it you're gonna get attacked," Kymani said shaking his head with Toby agreeing. "No no I'm going to name it, it's gonna be the best name ever," Jonathan said as he cycled through names in his mind. "Okay well we are gonna go try to find a new camp you nock yourself out," Clayden said as the 4 started walking away. "OH, I know what about Kevin," Jonathan said quietly, suddenly the T-rex looked at Jonathan and started walking towards them. The 4 boys turned around shaking their heads at Jonathan, "OH THATS WHAT GETS IT ATTENTION FUCKING KEVIN," Jonathan yelled as the T-rex stopped in front of him and lay down, "Wait is your name Kevin?" Jonathan asked the T-rex. The T-rex then looked at Jonathan and started to deform as its shoulders popped out revealing a corpse inside of the dinosaur. "Not another skinwalker," Kymani said as they closed their eyes when nothing happened they opened their eyes and saw the corpse reaching out its hand, "It's not alive right," Clayden asked, Jonathan went up to it and grabbed its hand and shook it, "Nope, but this is some bullshit like how is it a dinosaur then a damn corpse, like this is actual bull," Jonathan said, "Yeah I hate this damn island," James said as shook his head.
