Chapter 17

Each crash into the door sounded louder than the one before. It had been going on almost constantly since Glenn Hardcastle had left them several hours ago.

“How long do you think that door can stand up to them?” Matt asked. He was seated at a stool near the kitchen area of the rec room. His right hand clutched a hot can of beer. In his right, he held another large knife like the one Hardcastle had left with. His face looked as if it had aged ten years since Hurricane Simon had pummeled the island and he was in much need of a hot shower.

Charlie eyed him a long moment and wondered how awful she herself must have looked. “It’ll hold up as long as it needs to,” she replied confidently. “Sooner or later, they’ll give up and leave us alone.”

Matt sighed and leaned back against the counter behind him. “I hope you’re right, because it’s going to be kinda hard for us to get to that door on the lower level if we can’t even leave this room,” he said.

Charlie looked away from him, doing her best not to let him see the doubt that was creeping into her mind. She hoped the Troodons would leave them alone, but truthfully, she had no idea when or if they ever would. They were incredibly intelligent creatures and if they were under the direction of Mother, it would be up to her when they stopped. She thought back to their treatment of the animals over the past couple of years and thought hard to remember if there were ever any instances where she believed the animals had been treated badly. She could think of no such instance, but she was also cognizant of the fact that the Troodons were being held against their will. Animals as intelligent as these would undoubtedly hold resentment toward her and Matt for that reason alone. “They’ll eventually leave,” she replied again, doing her best to sound genuine.

There was another large crash against the other side of the door followed by a scraping sound on the wood.

“They want in really bad,” Matt said, tightening his grip around the knife.

Charlie stared at the door, as if she were expecting a hungry Troodon break it down at any moment.

“I suppose I should get a knife too,” she said, making her way to the kitchen. She rummaged through the drawer and found one just like the one Matt had. It was quite large and reminded her of the chosen weapon of Michael Myers.

“I guess I should apologize to you,” Matt said as he stood from the stool.

Charlie whipped her head around and stared at him. “Apologize? For what?” she asked incredulously.

“I should’ve gotten you off this island,” he replied. He looked down and stared at the blade in his hand. “This thing will be useless if they break the door down.”

Charlie frowned and walked over to him. She put an arm around him and squeezed his shoulder. “First of all, you did tell me to leave the island,” she said.
