Kie woke up to JJ smoking weed. "How did you even find that" she asked weakly.
"Oh, hello there. Took you a while. I've always had one in my pocket." JJ smiled as he offered some to her.
"Oh yes please" she laughed as she took a go at the weed.
"You know, that's probably not really good for your low iron" He smiled
"See any doctors around here? I don't. No one's gonna stop me" She retorted.
As they both smoked the weed, she was thinking about their last interaction. What would have happened if she hadn't fainted?

"Sarah?" kie whispered, trying not to wake everyone up.
"hm?" Sarah grunted weakly.
"I need to pee. I'm kinda scared. Can you come?" Kie continued, quieter than ever.
"hm" Sarah sighed.
When she realised Sarah had fallen back asleep in a second, she decided to go without her.
It was so cold and dark she could barely see anything. She didn't want to admit it, but she was also afraid of the dark, so she made it quick.
After pulling her pants up, Kiara thought she heard footsteps behind her.
"Did one of you just watch me pee? That's a dick move" She whispered, half annoyed, have paranoid.
She looked around, but after seeing no one, and hearing nothing else, she decided her imagination was just playing with her.
As she headed back to camp, Kiara had a stranger gut feeling, and immediatly regretted going so far from the others.
She let out a muffled shriek when she felt someone's hand cover her mouth. They put a bag over her head, and locked her wrists together. They then dragged her away. Kie panicked. Someone was with them on the island, and was going to kidnap her first.

JJ woke up in a jolt. Something was wrong and he knew it. He looked around and saw Sarah, also awake, looking around.
"Where's Kie?" She asked him in a whisper when she saw he was awake.
Kie? After staring at her empty bed, he panicked. Where was she? He looked around.
Then, it hit him. "I think I heard a shriek during the night, but I just though it was in my dream"
"I'm the worst friend," Sarah then said, "she asked me to go with her to the bathroom in the middle of the night, but I fell right back asleep!"
~
"Kie?"
"Kiara?"
"Kie?"
They were all screaming her name, trying to find her around the island. Sarah had waken John B up quickly after her and JJ had realised something was going on. John B had ordered everyone to go out looking for her.
Pope and Cleo decided to go out on the eastern side of the island, Sarah and JJ had taken the western side, and John B stayed at camp in case she came back.
Although they were all scattered around that big piece of land, they could all hear eachother scream out Kiara's name.
"How the heck did you not wake up when you heard a shriek?" Sarah asked, shocked.
"It didn't feel very real" He started "KIE? KIE-"
"ow, my ears, chill. If she was taken away, yelling her name isn't gonna work." Sarah frowned
He closed his mouth, realising she was right. "I've never been on this side of the island" He whispered
"Yeah, me neither, but it looks like any other part.
How will we know if they find her?" She said after a long pause.
He shrugged. He will keep on looking until the sun sets, even if that means skipping meals.
"Maybe we should start heading back, John B is probably with her. We've been looking for hours already." Sarah insisted
"How about, you go ahead back to camp, and I'll continue. If she's not back, come looking for me so we can continue." JJ sighed.
Sarah nodded and turned around. He didn't like knowing Sarah was alone, but so was Kie, and she was the priority right now.
~
It had been about an hour, and Sarah didn't come back. He started to think that maybe Kie was back, but didn't want to give up if she was still missing.
The sound of his own footsteps brought him back to reality. The sound they made were not the same. He looked down, but instead of seeing grass, he saw sand. He noticed marks on the sand, as if someone had been dragged. Kie.
JJ looked up to where the marks ended, and saw a small cave. He entered, fully forgetting that if someone was in there, he could get taken too.
"Tell me what you know on the gold of the Royal Merchant!" An unknown voice could be heard, yelling at someone.
JJ went to stand closer, keeping his back touching the walls so no one could see him. It was dark. Very dark.
"I don't know" Kie answered, sobbing. JJ gasped lightly when he heard her voice.
A slap was heard, which made JJ gasp louder. He immediately slapped his hand on his mouth.
"I've been following you and your friends, don't you DARE tell me you don't know." The unknown person yelled
The silence was so loud. Sometimes broken by Kie's sobs. Then, the unknown person sighed.
"Let me start again. WHAT do you know about the gold on the ROYAL MERCHANT" He yelled the last part louder than the other, showing he was running out of pacience.
Kie just started crying again. And another slap could be heard.
JJ couldn't believe it. He wanted to go to her, and kill that person. He really wanted to, but it wasn't safe. What if there were more than one unknown person there? Instead, he waited for the right moment.
"You really are no use to me, I've been standing here, 5 hours, to get an answer. Well. I bet your other friends will have one" The unknown person said, calmer.
JJ heard Kie whimper, and then something hitting something else. JJ had tears running down his cheeks. What were they doing to Kie?
He held his breath when he heard footsteps getting closer. It was so dark, hopefully the person wouldn't see him. JJ closed his eyes, and waited for them to pass by him. When he opened them, the person had gone out of the cave.
They were going to get the others, but JJ had no time to think about them. Kie!
He ran, almost hitting a wall twice, until he got to a part of the cave where the ceiling was opened, and the sunlight was peeping through.
Kiara was laying there, limp.
