I made sure to keep myself quiet. I could see and hear Ian breathing heavily in front of me. Alan was watching the fence, trying to see through the rain if the dinosaur was going to make an appearance.

I whimpered when I heard a loud deafening roar. I saw Ian's hand slide behind his chair for me to grab. I took it gratefully and he squeezed my hand. I whimpered again.

Then, through the rain I saw it. The T-Rex was big. Obviously an adult. Her jaw opened as she let out another roar, I had to shut my eyes and pretend I was somewhere else.

I heard more wires twanging and I winced. It was outside the fence, not even twenty feet from where we sat.

"I hate being right all the time," Ian said, eyes fixated on the large reptilian creature in front of us. Alan moved forward in his seat, watching intensely.

It was standing in between both of our cars. It looked over to us, pupils dilating as it adjusted to the lighting. I saw its eye dart around, looking for something to hunt.

"Don't move," Alan kept repeating. I didn't move. In fact, I probably wouldn't be able to even if I wanted to. I sat as still as I could, trying not to start crying. It started to walk away and I let out a shaky breath.

Then, from the other car, a torch light flickered on and started slicing through the air, a steady beam of white light dancing across the sky.

"Oh god," I whispered when the Rex caught site of it and turned to pursue it.

"Turn the light off," I hissed, hoping with all that I had that it wasn't too late.

I saw one of the kids, I couldn't make out who, close the front door that Gennaro had left open and the Rex snapped its head down, listening and watching, hoping to catch sight of what it hoped would be its next meal.

"He left them there," I said, getting angry at the coward. I was scared too but that didn't mean that I left the people around me. Especially if they're children.

No one replied to me. Everyone was too busy watching the catastrophe in front of them.

The Rex started sniffing the car and I flinched when it moved its head down to the back window, the torch shining in its eye.

It lifted its head and for a moment I thought it was going to leave, frustrated by the lack of food that it found but instead it stood back slightly and opened its mighty jaws, roaring so loud that it made me cover my ears. I could only imagine what it looked like to the children. Jesus, they must be terrified.

"It's trying to get them to move. It knows they're there. It just can't find them because they aren't moving," I said. I hadn't realised that my mind was analysing the creatures behaviour.

The Rex nudged the car and I thought I could hear the children's terrified screams from my seat in the car but I wasn't sure.

The light started flickering and moving in the other car and I hoped they were turning it off.

Then it pushed its head through the glass and tried to get a grip on at least one of the kids.

"We've got to help them!" I almost shrieked as the the Rex plunged its head into the car for a second and then third time. Ian wiped the fogging windscreen quickly, eyes stuck on what was happening in front of us.

I gasped when the Rex rocked the car so hard that it turned over onto its roof, sending glass all over the ground.

I couldn't just sit there and watch the kids be killed. I'd never forgive myself but I could barely move. I was frozen with fear.

"Snap out of it! You've got to do something!" I yelled to myself after watching the creature start biting bits of the car off its mechanical body with another loud roar.

Ian and Alan visibly flinched at my loud tone but I couldn't choke out an apology.

I looked around me, trying to find something to distract it with. I saw a large crate behind me and I hoped there was something I could use in it.

Digging through it, I found three flares and I almost laughed with relief. The light would attract its attention and then I could get it to leave. I'd be almost invisible. At least, I hoped so.

I slammed open the door and ignored the two men's pleas to get back into the car.

I lit the flare and looked at the Rex.

"Here! I'm over here you fat fuck!" I screamed at it, waving the flare around.

It looked up and growled, looking at me and narrowing its gaze to the flare.

I saw another red light from in the car. Damn it.

I stumbled backwards when it took it's first step toward me. I threw it over into the bushes. It ran towards it and leant over the edge.

"Hey! Hey!" I heard Ian's voice yell. I felt my stomach drop and I whipped toward him. That idiot! He'll get himself killed!

He had the Rex's attention and he was waving his own flare around.

"Ian! Get rid of it!" I pleaded, watching as he ran around the car.

"Get the kids!" He yelled back.

"Throw it!"

I vaguely registered Alan barge past me in the general direction of the other car but I couldn't bring myself to follow him. My attention was on Ian.

"Get the kids!"                                                   

The Rex began running at him full speed and I screamed.

"Ian!"

He was running for the bathroom where Gennaro was hiding and I screamed his name again. That small shack wouldn't be able to stop an eight ton charging animal from destroying it.

I saw the Rex pick up Ian by his leg just before obliterating the small restroom and I felt tears well up in my eyes. He couldn't be dead. He just couldn't be.

Gennaro was sitting on the closed toilet lid, which was still standing. And he brushed the rain from his head.

The Rex looked at him, cocked his head and lunged down, taking Gennaro in his mouth by his torso and he lifted him up. He started shaking the poor mans body around violently and I fell to my knees, on the verge of tears.

Ian was right again. This place was an accident waiting to happen and I had been a fool to see otherwise and now I was paying the price for my naive childish hope.
