And as if reacting to Jeff's curses, a loud thunder lighted the dark skies. Droplets of rain falling from the clouds.
Wei, feeling his bonded friend's misery patted him on his back. "We will probably do all that if we survive."
"You still think we are going to survive this?" Ten popped a brow. "There is a storm coming, and we are on a un-moving or better called unmovable yatch. Are you kidding me or what? Even Buddha won't be able to save us."
"Stop been a jinx." Emma glared at him, but deep down she also felt helpless.
'are they really going to die like this.
"We must try. Sailing a yatch can't be that hard." Luna said with a positive vibe.
"Even if we can sail the yatch it doesn't change the fact that we are in the middle of nowhere. Judging from the weather am sure the storm will take days to calm down. And then even if we want to strive we have to strive
"Uhm...we too." Luna replied in a lower voice._______________"So–––this is–––what you found?" Salvador eyed the wooden parrot, scanning it carefully."Well it stood out. And judging our situation, it might be useful." Allyssa rubbed on the hair behind her neck."At least not for now." Luna took the wooden parrot from Salvador, then stored it away. "Right now we have to look through all this bottles and find the map.""Jeff, how's the sailing going?" She turned to Jeff."Done. I think I understand how it runs. Not much difference with normal sailing." He nodded. "I think we can spare some time to help.""Good." Luna grabbed a bottle, easily pulling off the cover. "Let's find the other part of the map shall we?"They were hardly half way through when Wei spoke up. "I think I have go
"No." Sandra trembled visibly. "There are more of them."________"This isn't working." Emma yelled, quickly fixing the hole onher side while completely dripping wet and shivering.Luna ignored her, turning to Sandra. "How's Jeff doing?""Not good." Sandra shook her head, pushing back her wet hair. "He said we might not make it.""I found another hole, over here." Allyssa dived out of the water, taking off her goggles while running her hand down her wet face. "The water is starting to slow down, there shouldn't be much holes left""That's good." Luna quickly moved to the hole she pointed out. Blocking it off.Within ten minutes they had completely blocked off all the hole, wanting to take a rest when Wei burst into the hatch. His scream drowned in the storm."What did you say?" Sandra yelled back.
'rain.' Jeff eyes moved to the buried Wei. "Damn it."One drop, two drop. Luna could feel a cold liquid dripping on her skin but she could hardly move even tho she wanted to."Fuck, fuck, fuck." She heard a familiar voice curse, she could hardly make out the next words but she had sensed a panicked urgency in the person's tone.She laid still until she slowly started to recover her control over her body. Slowly starting from her toes up to her feet, and till it spread to other parts of her body."Luna." A coarse voice called from beside her. And only then did she open her eyes to meet Emma's who had a worried expression o her face."Am fine." She gritted out, ignoring the pounding headache she was having. "Where are the othe–"She had hardly finished the question when she found them. Struggling with a piece of buried wood."What are they doing?" Emma scrunched her eyebrows in confusion."No Idea." Luna shook her head. The decided to walk over. Waving at her two insane looking friends.
"What about the map. They should be something we can do." Emma said thoughtfully. "There is." Salvador agreed. "It's time we need." "Let's first know what we are dealing with, the we can plan out." Ten stated. "We have gone too far to be scared by a mere sinking island." "So what do we have?" Luna asked, leaning in. Salvador spread the map on the ground, pinning it on the ground with four small stones. "We have a sinking island, a week's deadline, and a hidden ship." "A hidden ship?" "Yes. A 'hidden' ship." Salvador put an emphasis on the word 'hidden' "It's definitely not going to be easy to find it, will it." "Definitely not." Salvdor immediately replied to Allyssa's question. "How much is the difficulty?" Sandra asked. "58%" He answered, then paused thoughtfully. "Plus racing against time I'd say 78%" "And I'd say suicide really doesn't sounds so bad anymore." All head snapped to Luna who had suddenly become dispirited. "Just kidding." "So what exactly do we have to do?
They were all wide awake before the sun was up. All in preparation of the unknown they had to face.They divided the resources and shared them among themselves. Wei and Ten been the ones will the biggest share.Following Salvador's lead, they headed west and deeper into the over flourishing green lands. Which also proved to be a beautiful sight."I really won't mind living the rest of my life here if not for the sinking situation." Ten sighed longingly. "There's more than enough food. Women everywhere———i could be the second Adam.""Shut up." Emma and Sandra snapped at the same time, successfully shutting him up."All he thinks about is women, women, women." Jeff rolled his eyes, grabbing on a loose vine as he cross over a fallen log of wood."Should I think about you instead?" Ten popped a brow suggestingly. "I will pass." Jeff threw him a poker face in return."Enough of been gay already." Salvador wrinkled his nose. "We have got a problem.""What—?" Sandra voice slowly lowers to t
'She had to save them. She had to save them.' Her last thoughts replayed in her mind as she sank into the bottom of the water. 'Jeff! Emma!! They are waiting for her. Waiting for her help.'————————*Cough* *cough* Luna felt her lungs contract as she coughed. Water running down both her mouth and nose."She is awake." A blurred face clouded her vision and then she is pulled against a warm body. "luna?! And pressed against a soft chest. "Luna! Wake up! It's me—Sandra.""Luna!! Luna!!! Please wake up. Please." Sandra cried desperately. "Open your eyes."And she did. She opened her eyes to meet the browns form of her sister. Clutching on yo her body like a dying last straw."Sandra?" She wrinkled her nose at the sharp pain that traveled down her throat as she spoke. The metallic taste of blood lingering on her tongue. And only then did she realized that what she was coughing up was not water, but darkish red blood."Sandra?!" Her voice barely.made it pass a whisper, tears starting to.bui
They walked for hours. On and on. But they was still no sign of their designated location.The air around them was thick and tense. It was almost like that of a dinner night with one's undoting mother-in-law.Although Wei started to grow a second thought on his choice of route, he still couldn't say it out loud.It was suffocating. The eyes on him and that invisible burden that pressed on his shoulder.How the timid looking Salvador could cope with it. He didn't know.It wasn't even a full day of taking responsibility and he already felt unable to breath.They didn't take rest. No. Resting was for the dead. They were fully consciously alive and pretty much wanted to live, so they had to strive. Hard.A man had got to hussle.It was starting to get dark when they finally spotted the tip of the said moutain. Standing gallantryly in a distance. And at that moment, Wei could finally release the breath that had hanged in his chest since only God knows when.A small smile making it's way to
Now the problem arised as Wei stared both in awe and horror. 'What now?'A loud cry drowned the atmosphere and the land around them gave out. Thus the clock began to tick.____________"What now?" Allyssa muttered softly. Each breath growing more painful than the last."I don no." Wei exhaled roughly. Eyes trailing the green looking tress. "I dunno.""So this is where it ends?" Sandra sighed, a sadistic smile spreading across her lips as she closed her eyes.Dying didn't really sounded bad to her anymore.Luna was in coma and she wasn't sure when she (Luna) would come around, so why not just die?"Try to think harder Wei, there must be something." Ten urged. Laying the sleeping Luna on a grass of mosses. "No. I really can't remember anything." Wei shook his head sadly. The rims of his eyes begining to grow red from frustration.They were stranded. And there was really nothing much he could do. Even after everything they had done the result still remained the same.'were they really g
