CRASH , kirin o'connor

v. days fourteen and fifteen

day fourteen!

it was a couple days later and dark outside, the group was all together as they laid under a tent they had made earlier. according to ivan's journal that he's been using to keep track of the days they've been stranded, they have been there for thirteen days.

over those thirteen days, luna found herself becoming closer with the boys. mainly ivan, josh, bo, henry and especially kirin. and she didn't know why but she always got a bad vibe from seth so she always tried to stay away from him and not be left alone with him either. she spent most of her time alone or with kirin, she would rather be spending it with the boy anyways. she didn't understand why she was able to become so close with him so quickly, he was special to her. she thought he was attractive and he was constantly making her laugh when they were off by themselves. there were times he would notice that she seemed off, but he never asked, she seemed like she didn't want to talk about it. he was respectful to her and what she asked, so when she would begin to feel upset and wanna be alone he would leave her, but he always kept his eyes on her from afar. the two were definitely attached and they liked being close to each other. whenever she felt worried or scared she would go to kirin, and he would comfort her. he was the only one she would allow to touch her, he was the only one she felt comfortable with touching her. he would often make sure to check up on her, she didn't mind except for the times she wanted to be left alone. she wasn't used to being cared for, she never had anyone be there for her.

luna was lying down on the sand like she did every night, with her thoughts running through her mind. sometimes she would sleep but the most sleep she would get would only be a couple hours.

she was half asleep when she heard a noise that sounded like it was near the tent. she moved around, and tried to ignore it. but then she heard it again. she looked over as she saw bo begin to sit up, "anybody hear that?" he asked. luna nodded and sat up, she looked at bo and they both shared a look of fear, "yeah, kinda thought i was just going crazy though" she replied her voice soft. "hear what?" josh asked them. "i'm not sure" bo replied. "luna?" josh asked, "yeah, i'm not completely sure either" she sighed.

"boner, dude. don't cry wolf while we're trying to fucking sleep" kirin said half asleep.

the noise happened again, it was a rustling. "kirin, wake up" luna shook him gently as he laid beside her, his face next to her legs basically against her thighs. sure she had heard noises before but this was different. "i think i heard it again" bo said. "there's always a lot of noises out there, i'm sure it's nothin'" seth replied.

"if bo heard something, he heard something. and luna heard it too" scotty defended the two.

there was a quick silence before a loud snarl was heard. all the boys sat up quickly if they weren't already. luna immediately reached her hand around for something to grab, she looked as she realized she had grabbed kirin's hand. she looked at him and he was already looking back at her. they gripped each other's hands tighter as the growling continued.

"please tell me we all just imagined that" josh said. "can nine people all imagines the same thing?" raf questioned. luna shook her head, "nope pretty sure that's not possible raf" she replied, her voice weak. "whatever it is, i bet it's decided to steer clear" seth replied. "death will come for us. be it by carnivore, disease, or fates unknown, death will come for us" henry stated. luna leaned back into kirin for comfort, as she thought about henry's words, she didn't want anyone else to die. "henry, not now" seth scolded. "sorry, but it's true. the grim reaper is sharpening his scythe, just for us"

"henry, not now" seth repeated. they thought henry was done, but he continued but this time he began to sing,

"and the wind and the rain
and the winter squalls
we'll be found with barnacles.."
