The next morning, I woke up to the sun shining in through the cave opening. Its rays of light warmed my bits and roused me from the deep slumber I had been in. I slowly open my eyes, allowing them to adjust to the light, before looking around. I was still resting between Ty’s optical housings. Said T-trux was still snoozing soundly, though I did not doubt that the rising sun would wake him soon enough. I decided to remain where I was, seeing no need to get up yet since Ty was still asleep and there were no plans this morning. My thoughts drift to last night, and what had come to light in the dark of night. Ty had said he loved me, and I doubt it was in the “just friends” way. I had not said it back at the time, slightly shocked by the confession, but I had told him that I accepted him as he was. And I do, there is nothing wrong with who he has an interest in, ‘even if it is out of the ordinary’, but I do not know how I feel about it quite yet. As if sensing that I was thinking

Koki and I make it back to the clearing, and I thank whoever had been listening because Aviva was there, already untying Martin's bonds. My brother is still unconscious, but at least he was now out of harm's way for the time being. We walk over to Aviva and start helping with the ropes that are keeping Martin pinned down. ———— It took a while, but he was now free from the cables, and all we had to do now was wait for him to come out of the tranquilizer-induced coma. In the meantime, Aviva went straight to work on fixing Koki and my creature power suits. Koki went first since Aviva only needed to replace a few parts and the glass of the button, which only took a few minutes. Mine, however, took a little longer since it was some kind of malfunction, and she didn't precisely know what caused the problem. She was spewing out a few different things, none of which I completely understood, as well as a few small Spanish curses, ‘or I think that's what they were.’ Koki was at her side

Hang on, Martin; we're coming for you, big brother!' I think to myself as Koki, and I head in the direction I hope my brother is. I usually wouldn't second guess myself, but with Martin's life on the line, my mind is a bit clouded in a sense. We had run off in a different direction than Jimmy and Aviva, following the smell of Martin, and likely the poacher. The trail is strong at first, very distinct and easy to follow, but then it tapers out, being very faint and making it harder to follow. Luckily, with the strong sense of smell that the velociraptor has, I could still pinpoint Martin's unique scent, even when it's almost untraceable! The trail winded quite a bit but stayed in a relatively straight direction. -_-_-_--_-_-_- We must have been following it for a good hour or so, going in what almost seemed to be in circles when we started to hear voices up ahead. Koki and I looked at each other, ensuring that we were both hearing the voices, "You hear the voices too

Chris' POV I wake up the next morning and immediately notice the lack of warmth surrounding me. 'Where's Marin?' I wonder, 'eh, he's probably just gone to get a bite to eat or something.' I conclude and stretch out, feeling the satisfying pops of my stiff joints before getting up to look for my brother. I walk out of the cave, and to my surprise, the sun is much higher then I thought. 'Huh, why didn't Martin wake me up?' Then I see that the others are standing around the fire pit, whispering amongst each other. 'When did they get back?' I walk over to them, and Koki notices my approach. She looks at me anxiously before nudging Aviva and pointing in my direction. When she turns around and sees me, she breaks away from the others and walks over to me. I was about to ask what was wrong, but she cuts off and hugs me! At first, I'm not sure why she's hugging me, but then she starts crying! 'Ok, now I'm really confused! What's going on?' Seeming to notice my confusion, Koki
