Chapter 4
"Don't die."

Auroras POV:

"Okay, so all we have to do is figure out a way to get on the island ourselves. Then the security guard I know ,can pick us up, we just have to get on somehow." Sam explained once we entered the hotel.

"Over night? Alone? On a haunted island? Yeah, hell no," Corey shook his head, falling onto the bed.

"It sounds illegal," Jake said staring at us, Sam nodded. "I'm in."

"This is extremely dumb," I sighed, sitting on the same bed Corey fell on. "I thought you liked doing dumb shit?" Colby layed his head on my lap, closing his eyes.

"Oh I do, I'm not worried about myself, I'm just worried about you guys." Colby opened his eyes, looking up at me.

"We'll be fine. I promise," Sam said. "Nothing bad is gonna happen."

We spent the rest of the day sleeping mostly, then we got food, and slept some more. I did some extra research about the place while the guys slept. I already knew a lot about it, hell I even did a project in high school about it, I just wanted to make sure I knew everything I could.

We decided to leave tomorrow morning around 8 am, so I woke everyone up at 6:30. I waited until 7 for Colby though.

I walked into Colby and I'd bathroom, shutting he door. I pulled out my phone, dialing a number.

"Hey Iz," I smiled as I pressed my phone to my ear.

"You are so incredibly stupid." I heard her sigh, making me laugh. "I'm guessing Chris and Matt told you about the Island?"

"Yes they did. You are aware this place is banned to visitors right?" I could practically smell the oncoming scolding. "Yes Izzy I am very much aware. I just don't care," I told her, shrugging even though she couldn't see me. "Yeah I know you don't, thats what scares me."

After about 15 minutes of being reminded of how genuinely stupid this was, she finally let me hang up. "I love  you dumbass," I could practically hear the smile on her lips. "I love you more."

Colby, Sam, Jake, Corey, and I brought our normal suitcases, but also 5 backpacks for the island.

We planned on staying for 3 nights, 4 days. Jake and Corey don't know that yet though. Sam and I thought I'd be a fun suprise, I couldn't wait to see Corey's face.

Colby walked over to me while everyone was busy, smiling. "Hi gorgeous," he placed his hands on my waist, his cold rings making me shiver.

"Aloha," I blurted, not able to think due to the heat of Colby's skin so close to me.

"You're so pretty," He looked down at me, smirking at my nervousness. I was wearing a V neck white sweater with flared leggings.

Basic I know, but give me a break. I'm about to go on a haunted ass island and hunt ghosts, for fucks sake.

"Thank you," I hid my head in his chest, making him chuckle, the vibration giving me chills.

"Okay people, let's start sorting through things." Sam told us all, we quickly met in the middle of the room, sitting on the ground.

Sam was in charge of all the camera gear. He had the main camera, 5 go-pros, 1 night vision camera, and a tripod. Plus a fuck ton of batteries.

Colby had all the flashlights, headlamps, just a whole lot of fucking lights, with about a billion more batteries. And he had a few Home Depot flashlights for asking questions, the dousing rods, and some motion sensored cat toys. He was also the one carrying our sleeping bags, 3 in his hands and the other 2 attached to his back.

Corey had all the food in his bag, meaning chips, protein bars, cookies that Jake got, and a bunch of other shit, plus a lot of water bottles. Jake and I had everyones clothing in our bags.

"Do we have a plan yet?" Sam looked to me, I just shrugged.

"God dangit."

"We're gonna die," Corey mumbled. "Or get arrested," Jake added, making Corey freak out even more.

"Wait, I might have an idea. Can we go drive around the edge of the water?" I looked Colby and Sam, who both nodded.

~~~

About 3 hours later, I was walking up to a man in his, mid twenties maybe, asking if we could get a ride to the island.

Was it smart? Probably not, but I saw he had a little girl with him. Maybe 5? She was playing with toys on the floor of his boat.

"Are y'all sure that's a good idea darlin?" He asked. "Not at all, but we got it all covered, we just need to get there somehow." He looked at me for a second, he seemed to be debating.

I met eyes with the little girl, giving her a small smile. She waved excitedly, grinning.

"Yeah alright, I take y'all. I'm not stepping foot on that island though, I don't particularly feel like getting possessed." His tone was dead serious making chills crawl up my body.

"Thank you."

The man sent his, daughter apparently, over to her mom across the dock. She started to run off before handing me a small toy, it was a plastic orange cat. I thanked her, watching as she ran off.

After that, we all made our way onto the medium sized boat. The ride was only 30 minutes maybe.

"Good luck folks. Don't die." We all laughed as if it was a joke, but he was dead serious. "Thank you again," I shook his hand, he gave me a smile before getting back on his boat.

"We are seriously going to regret this aren't we?" Corey tilted his head towards me.

"Oh yeah, 100 percent," I replied.
