Have fun!! (even though you probably won’t see this until you get back, lol).

@jasmine

Yeah, I’ve done a lot of things like that, too, lol.  Yup, like Wingiby Iggiby said, your characters doesn’t have to be human.  Can’t wait til you bring your character in!

@rusted-knight and @millennium (and you too Wingiby Iggiby, though I’m not asking you to save Ahab, I just want to read this so my post makes sense 😉 )

Would you guys mind saving Ahab??  I feel so bad, but I don’t feel like its in Colma’s character to help him if it means she could die….(That’s why she ran away)  So do you think you could kill Nomor?  I feel really bad, but Colma here, is ok with leaving people to die. *glares at her*

@this-is-not-an-alien

Hope this post is ok with you!  For some reason, Ehud is having a lot of people cry around him XD

 

It had all happened so fast.  Shouting.  A giant, bleeding beast bursting out of the trees.  Then it had started charging.  And Colma had run like the coward she was.  She had left Ahab to be ripped to shreds.

But, Colma reminded herself as she pushed through the undergrowth, would you rather die for a random stranger or save yourself?

She crept as silently as she could with her injuries, and the back of her neck prickled, like someone–or something–was watching her.  Colma froze and splayed herself flat on the ground, quieting her ragged breathing.  What if the monster attacking the others wasn’t the only one in the area?

Suddenly, the sound of blundering and someone calling, “Axe Girl?” shattered the tense silence.  Colma peered through the lush bushes and spotted Ehud, who looked frightened.

“Ax Girl..?!” he called again uncertainty.

Colma shot out her hand and jerked him to the ground, covering his mouth as he exclaimed something.  “Shut up and get down!  You’ll get us both killed like that!” she rasped.  Slowly, she released him, watching to see what he would do.   He fumbled with his words for a moment before abruptly stopping.  At least he hadn’t started running and making more noise.

She stared at him while trying to formulate a plan.  Another creature was in the area, that was clear.  It was snuffling nearby.

Colma’s breath, rapid and shallow, stuck in her throat, and she wished more than ever that she was safe.  Preferably asleep and safe.

Colma, wincing, ripped off the straps tying her axe to her leg.  Then she slowly grabbed her axe, just in case the small dinosaur found them.

As she did so, Ehud’s eyes widened and he stared behind her, mouth agape.  Colma craned her neck around to see what he was gawking at, and saw a green snout poking out of the underbrush.  Its nostrils flared, and it peeled back its lips to display razor-sharp yellow teeth, stained with blood.

Colma gasped and chucked her axe as hard as she could into its forehead.  It toppled over with a high-pitched yelp, but squirmed and snapped at her foot.  She jerked it out of the way and picked up a branch lying beside them and whacked its head with a sickening crack.

It twitched but stopped trying to bite them, and its yellow eye gazed at the sky.  It was dead.

Breathing heavily, she turned to Ehud.  Then the unthinkable happened.  She hadn’t cried in years, but the stress and fear was starting to overwhelm her.  Colma prided herself on how calm and resourceful she was in a bad situation, but the past day was too much.  Tears trickled down her cheeks as she stared at him.  She angrily brushed the tears away and avoided looking him in the eye.

“What should we do now?” Colma asked, trying not to show how much she just wanted to break into sobs like a little kid.
