Island of the Dead

1

Frank sat in a seat across from Rosina, watching her hold Shadow close to her chest. Tears were running down Rosina's cheeks. When she caught Frank looking at her, she smiled at him. Frank smiled back. It has been at least a couple of hours after they left Jane, Riley, Daniel, and Max behind on the hospital's roof. Frank got up out of his seat and slowly walked over to Peter who was in the pilot's seat. "How long have we been in the air?" Frank asked Peter. "We have been in the air for at least a couple of hours." Peter said then Frank looked over at Dylan who was in the co-pilots seat. He went back to his seat and he sat down with Connor, Alex, Ricky, and Jacob while Rosina was sitting with Susie and Abigail.
The sky was growing darker by the minute. Soon, lightning flashed and thunder roared then that's when the rain came pouring down. Just then, a strong gust of wind pushed the helicopter over to one side then the other side. Then as soon as the wind came, it was gone. All the ten teenagers could hear was the pounding sounds the rain made as it hit the top of the helicopter. Connor got up out of his seat and walked over to Peter. Connor leaned forwards on the back of Peter's seat and as he looked out at the sea, his eyes grew wide at the terrible sight that was in front of them. "Peter, look out! Tornado!" Connor yelled, pointing at the giant tornado they were heading straight at. Peter tried to make the helicopter go around the tornado but it was too late. Before they realized it, the helicopter was sucked into the tornado. Jacob and Susie both got up out of their seats and tried to close the doors on each side of the helicopter.
All of a sudden, Rosina's seat belt came undone then the helicopter flipped over to the right side. Rosina went through the door and into the tornado. Rosina screamed at the top of her lungs as she went into the tornado. When she was half-way through the door, Ricky grabbed both of Rosina's hands and held on. "Help me!" Ricky yelled as he started to slip. Susie, Frank, Jacob, Alex, Abigail, and Connor all grabbed Ricky then they started to pull. They weren't strong enough so Dylan and Peter got out of the pilots seats and help the other teenagers. They pulled, pulled, and pulled until Rosina was safely in the helicopter. Once she was safely in the helicopter, Ricky slammed the door shut then Dylan and Peter went back to the pilots' seats. All the other teenagers got back in their seats and they buckled their seatbelts.
The tornado threw them into the air then it started going down, faster and faster, spinning out of control. "we'll going to crash!" Peter and Dylan both yelled as an island came into view. Inside the helicopter, the ten teenagers struggled to find something to hold onto. There was a huge impact as the helicopter smashed into the island. First, the doors on each side of the helicopter flew off, spinning through the air and landing in the water. The ten teenagers held onto whatever they were holding onto but it was helpless. Their seatbelts came undone and the teenagers piled out of the helicopter and onto the ground just as the helicopter slid across the ground and slipped into the water. The ten teenagers were laying there, none of them moving a muscle.
It was dark and Peter was running through the woods, trying to run away from whatever was chasing him. Whatever was chasing him ran faster than he was running through the woods. He looked back over his shoulder and he saw four or five dark figures gaining on him. Two of the figures were behind him and there was one of the figures on each side of him. He looked to his right and Peter could make out some features on the creature's face. The creature had bright red eyes, a medium sized nose, and a mouth full of razor sharp teeth.
Peter could see blood dripping from the teeth. The creature also had hands with claw-like fingers. The creature was coming closer and closer to him so he ran faster and faster. Soon, the four or five dark figures were left in the dust. He knew for sure that he had lost them. Just then, the trees stopped and Peter entered a clearing. He didn't want to stop running but he knew that he would have to stop soon. He didn't see where he was running so he tripped over a root sticking out of the ground and he fell to the ground. He groaned as he struggled to get on his back then he screamed.
The four or five dark figures were standing right in front of him. They stared down at him, then the figures started to get closer and closer. Peter gasped as the dark figures reached for him, their claw-like fingers ready to rip him to shreds. Peter raised his right arm to protect him but it was no use. One of the dark figures slashed his arm. He screamed as he looked at his arm, blood dripping onto his pants. He scooted back but the dark figures just kept getting closer. His screams turned into silent gasps as the dark figures ripped him to shreds. Then Peter woke up.
Peter woke up, screaming at the top of his lungs. His screaming woke up the other nine teenagers. "What's wrong?" Susie asked, looking over at Peter. Peter looked all around him and he saw that all of the teenagers were sitting straight up and staring at him. "Nothing. It was just a dream." Peter said, looking out toward the sea. Peter struggled to climb to his feet. As he got up, the other survivors were getting up too. "Where are we?" Rosina asked, bending over to pick up the mail-delivery bag, which had Shadow in it. "Alcatraz Prison." Frank said.
Suddenly, the ten teenagers saw movement up the hill. They stopped in their tracks, not knowing what lurked in the shadows. "Hello?" Frank yelled into the darkness but he got no answer. Ricky aimed his 243 rifle into the darkness and he was about to pull the trigger when he heard somebody shout, "Don't shoot!". Seventeen boys and twelve girls stepped out of the darkness. "Who are you?" Peter asked one of the boys.
"My name is Darrell and the guys are: Cody, Carter, Aaron, Alex, Austin, Chuck, Casper, Brian, and Bruce." the young man in the front replied. "Also Sean, Ben, Buddy, Boston, Chase, Hassan, and Howard." Casper said, motioning to the guys standing next to him. "The rest are: Roxie, Kristin, Lindsey, Emily, Bree, Carrie, Remington, Baylee, Blair, Briteny, Ashlynn, and Angelia." Chuck told the other group. "Who are you?" Emily asked Dylan. "My name is Dylan and this is Peter, Susie, Frank, Rosina, Jacob. Abigail, Alex, Ricky, and Connor." Dylan told her.
Cody and Emily both had metal crossbows and machetes. Carter had a silver bow and arrow and a machete. Roxie had a pink bow and arrow and a revolver. Blair, Angelia, Kristin, and five of the guys all had flamethrowers and machetes. Lindsey, Remington, and Sean all have two 9mm police pistols and machetes. Brian and Ben had a chainsaw and a M16 rifle. Bree, Bruce, Chuck, Ashlyn, Chase, and Howard all have a AK-47 and machete. Carrie has a bow and arrow and a sword. Alex has a sword and a LMG assault rifle. Baylee and Boston both had a metal crossbow and a sword. Britney had a rocket launcher and a AK-47. "What are you doing here?" Alex asked, his right hand on the handle of his sword. "Our helicopter crashed." Abigail told him.
Suddenly, Bree and Angelia screamed as both of them felt something grab their ankles. Both of the girls screamed again as they felt themselves being dragged across the ground. The remaining thirty-seven teenagers spun around, trying to look for the two girls but they couldn't see anything in the darkness. The thirty-seven teenagers walked up the hill to Alcatraz.
When the teenagers got up the hill, they stopped at the front entrance. There was a sudden chill flowing through the air and the teenagers could all feel it crawling down their backs. Dylan was about to open the door when it suddenly swung open. The teenagers went inside. They were only a couple of feet inside then the door slammed shut behind them. When the door slammed shut, all the teenagers jumped and screamed. Abigail spun around and she thought she saw a dark figure standing in front of the door then she spun back around then she heard people singing Ring around the Rosie.
"Do you guys hear that too?" Abigail asked the other teenagers, looking at them and the other teenagers nodded their heads. Abigail looked in the direction in which the singing was coming from then she screamed. A couple of feet away, there were a pair of twins standing there, looking at the large group. "You're gonna die here." the twins said at the same time. They started to walk toward the group of survivors. With every step the twins took, the light flickered on and off. They were getting closer and closer, walking slowly toward the group. Peter blinked and the twins were gone then he felt a tap on his shoulder so he spun around. He didn't see anybody and that is when the lights went completely out then all of the teenagers screamed.
They were surrounded by hellhounds, their glowing red eyes looking at the group of teenagers. The teenagers heard a deep, deep growl come from somewhere in the darkness. Emily and Blair screamed as one of the hellhounds looked at them with its glowing red eyes. Emily and Blair both took off running through the darkness. The rest of the hellhounds turned their attention to Emily and Blair. The rest of the teenagers watched as all of the hellhounds took off chasing after the two girls.
They were afraid to look back over their shoulders but they did and when they did, they gasped. All of the hellhounds were right behind them. Run, the two girls both told themselves. They screamed again as ice, cold hands grabbed their ankles and they fell down to the ground. Emily and Blair kept on screaming as they felt themselves being dragged across the floor.
They both turned over onto their backs to try and see who was dragging them but they couldn't see anything in the darkness. They both could feel all of the hellhounds grabbing at their shirts and pants. Emily and Blair as they were being dragged through a large metal door and down a stair-way. The others heard the metal door slam shut behind the two girls. The lights came back on then the remaining thirty-five teenagers went over to the large metal door. Cody tried to open the metal door by the door handle but it was locked. Cody pounded the door with his fists and kicked at the door.
Darrell grabbed Cody by the shoulders and pulled him away from the metal door. They could still hear their screams through the door.
