I felt my heart hammer against my chest as all of us rushed down the stairs. The image of the corpse was burned in to my mind. The sight of the rotten skin, bulging eyes, blood and wounds made me want to throw up. Once we made to the room we were staying in, we took a minute to catch out breats. 

"What do we do now?" Hoseok asked. 

"Get off this island of course." Yoongi snapped. 

"But how are we gonna carry all this thing?" Taehyung asked, pointing to every thing laying on the ground. 

"He's right, there's no food left on the boat, we need to restock." Namjoon added.

"Do you think we can find some bags here?" I asked.

"I-I think I saw some, upstairs on this side of the building." Jungkook muttered, "There were medical stuff inside. Injections, and everything."

"How many?"

"Two or three, I guess." 

"Alright, get that." Namjoon said. 

Jungkook pressed his lips in a thin line and nodded. Rushing out of the room to fetch the items. While he was gone, we piled up together all the important things. A few minutes later, Jungkook came back carrying two backpack duffle bags. He opened up the chains and emptied the contents. Several packets came flooding down on the ground. Once the bags were empty, we put in all the food, and water bottles. The foils, sleeping bags, and the SAT phone.

I walked out last to make sure no one stayed behind. And that no one was after us. In front of them, the rest trekked through the woods with rushed steps. Namjoon and Yoongi at the very front. Jimin, and Taehyung together. And then Hoseok, Jungkook and at last me. 

The forest hadn't felt as eerie as it did now. I knew it was the fear inside of me that made me think something terribly wrong was about to. I couldn't help but flinch each time I stepped on a dried pieces of branch or fallen leaves. I couldn't help look around, just to make sure there was no else with us. 

But stuck in those actions and thoughts, I didn't notice when the rest had stopped walking until I bumped into Jungkook. He helped me steady myself before falling. 

"What happened?" I asked, looking ahead at the empty beach. Finding nothing that could cause alarm. 

Only when I glanced back at the others, did I realize what had had happened. 

There was nothing. 

Empty beach.

The boat wasn't there!

My eyes widen as I looked ahead once again. Walking past the others, I paced forward to the front. Gasping when I saw the entire beach empty. I saw Yoongi walk up to the beach, and stomp on the sand. He frowned, and crouched down. Taking a bit of the sand in his hand.  Then, he came back jogging towards us.
