YOU

"Don't shoot." Conrad yells as Houston raised his gun. Houston then sighs and lowers his gun. "Now tell me which way do we go?"

"Go back to the boat. It's that way." Conrad says pointing at a certain way. "Wait for us till dawn. If we're not back by then, Just go." Conrad adds, tears were threatening to spill in his eyes.

Houston and San stood up ready to go.

"Where are you two going?" Hank asked, standing up and looking at us. Conrad looks at me before holding my hand and kissing the back of it, looking straight to my eyes. "We're going to save Kong."

Hank smiles, replying, "Not without me, Pal." I grinned, wiping my tears away. "I'm coming too!" Mason yells and hugs me.

"Scott will be so proud of you." She whispers, kissing my forehead. I hugged back and mumbled a 'Thank you' before letting go.

We ran towards the place where the explosion was. I froze in place and didn't hear their conversation when I saw Kong laying down, wounded. His breaths were ragged. Mason pulled me behind her, protecting me from the guns pointed at us.

"Bitch please!" I was surprised to hear Packard say that to Mason. Wait, who am I kidding. I expected that. I got angry and tried to go towards him but Mason held me back. "Slivko! Get outta there!" Packard yelled at Slivko.

"You know what's the right thing to do son." Hank told him. Slivko was sweating. Everyone was looking at him. A smile was placed upon my face when I saw him point his gun at Packard.

"Put it down sir." Packard was about to pull his gun and shoot Slivko but Conrad called his name, drawing his attention to him. Everyone placed their weapons down and let out breaths of tiredness.

"Come on. It's over." Packard looked at Conrad. If looks could kill, Conrad would be in heaven right now. "This is what happens when pride, greed and wrath gets to you Colonel." I said, hissing out the 'colonel'.

He growled at me and was about to shoot me. "What? Are you gonna shoot me like you did to my father? Well, let me tell you this, you're the real monster, not Kong, not the skull crawlers. YOU!"

All of a sudden, the water started splashing and the largest skull crawler I've ever seen came out.

"That's the big one."

That's the only thing that Hank needed to say. Everyone ran back into the woods, leaving me and Conrad in the dangerous scene.

"Colonel." Conrad said, placing his hand out for Packard to take. He didn't move so he left, me following behind him. I looked back for a second and saw the skull crawler slowly fighting Kong, gasping as I saw Packard's clothes on the ground... let me change that. Bloody ground.

"Kong's down! Let's go!" Conrad yells, lifting me bridal style. Don't get me wrong, I wanted vengeance on Packard but that was too much.

"This is the edge of the island." Conrad said as he placed me down, looking around. It was just mountains and water. There was also a sunken ship near us.

"Weaver, get on those rocks and fire a flare. We need San and Brooks to see it." Conard told Mason. I shook my head. No. It's too dangerous. I can't let Mason do this.
