XI. Eva Is Attracted To Yaz For 3.4 Seconds

"Do you not get it?" Birthday stepped forward, his eyes piercing into Eva's. "We're doomed. No one is coming to help!"

"But, what about Dr. Wu, or—"

"Wu?" Birthday asked incredulously, turning to Kenji. "Who do you think is to blame? Wu got greedy— a-a-and instead of dinosaurs, he built monsters! Masrani, Dearing, they're all clueless about what's really going on here. And after everything I did for the other guys—" Birthday began chuckling again, upping his creep factor.

Eva picked up her cake and started eating again.

"Other guys? What other—"

"It doesn't matter, does it? Jurassic World isn't a park. It's a powder keg and it is detonating all around us!"

Eva flicked her finger at Birthday, "We are a powder keg about to explode, I need someone like you to lighten the load."

"What part of this don't you understand?" Birthday demanded, his voice booming in the room. "We're all going down! End of story!"

"You know, I was just, I was just—"

Yaz shook her head and whispered to Eva not to say anything else.

"It was just song lyrics," Eva whispered to her.

Yasmina whispered back, "I know, but you're not helping the situation, at all."

"No, you have to know what to do," Darius said. "You're an adult!"

"Don't look at me, I was just hiding until you all barged in."

"But, we drove all the way here because—"

"Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah. You have a vehicle?!"

Birthday pushed Darius to the ground before dashing out the door.

"Uh, guys? I left the keys in the van."

Eva made eye contact with Yasmina, and they were the first two out the door, the others close behind.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

"Getting out of here alive!"

Yasmina and Eva took off, on the hunt.

Bumpy rain forward and tripped Yaz, causing her to tumble to the ground. Eva jumped Bumpy, only to run into Yasmina as she was getting to her feet. An elbow landed in her stomach, and somehow Yaz ended up on top of Eva, chest to chest.

"Eva," Yasmina growled.

"Well, hello, up there." Eva offered a small but flirtatious smile.

Yasmina flushed, then stood up quickly. She pulled Eva to her feet in the process. She pushed her forward slightly, then took off again. Eva sighed before following after the track star. They made it to the van, but Birthday quickly took off in it, leaving them in the dust.

All Yasmina gave Eva was a nod before they started running after Birthday, though Eva was slightly further behind the track star.

And then the Indominus appeared. It reared its head against the van, flinging it off road. Yaz slipped in the dirt, falling to her knees. Eva slid to a stop a few feet away from Yasmina.

Roaring, it completely ignored Yasmina and Eva, and instead went for the van.

Eva didn't hesitate to run in the opposite direction. She didn't even bother checking for Yaz, in fact, until she heard the brunette behind her. They met back up with the campers, only to run into an intact fence. Probably the only intact fence on the island, with how their luck was running.
