kiara pov:

i walk up to the cliff and look down. it's a massive drop. i look down at the other pogues who are all cheering at me. "i don't think i can" i call. "you can!" sarah shouts. i look down again. "i can't!" i say, taking a few steps back. "come on ki!" john b shouts. i shake my head. jj walks over to the place we climb up and starts to climb up to me. "i can't!" i shout. jj comes up behind me. "ki, it's not that bad" he says. i look down again. "you're joking right?" i say. "come on! you can't back out of a dare!" pope calls. i shake my head. "i honestly don't think i can". "you can" jj says. "i can't" i say. "i'll do it with you" he says. "jayj, i seriously can't" i say. he grabs my hand. "come on" he says. "oh my god" i say, taking a deep breathe. "come on ki! you can do it!" i hear the others call. "oh my god" i say again, getting ready to run. "3... 2... 1..." jj says, and we both run forward. i scream as we jump off the cliff and down into the water below. i swim back up and wipe my hair out of my face. "you did it!" jj says. i shake my head, "oh my god dude" i say. "are you good?" he says. i take a deep breathe in and out. "ki" he says swimming closer to me. i nod. "are you okay?" he says, putting his hand on my back. "yeah, i think, that was just terrifying" i say. "you did it though!" he says. i nod. "i can't believe i actually did it" i say, looking up from where i just jumped off. "i know" he says. we swim round the corner and the others start cheering when they see us. "you did it ki!" pope shouts. "i'm gonna get you back for that" i say, pointing at john b. he raises his eyebrows. "oh my god that was terrifying" i say. "you're fine though, still alive" sarah says. i laugh. "fish looks done!" cleo calls. "thankgod, i'm starving" jj says, walking out of the water. i scrunch the water out of my hair the best i can before following the others over to the chairs. the sun is beginning to set, which means it must be getting late. i sit on the chair in between sarah and jj, and i eat the part of the fish that cleo hands me. "mmm, that's what i'm talking about now, freshly cut" jj says. i smile but none of us say anything. we just all eat then go to sleep.

"ki, ki wake up" i feel a hand of my shoulder, shaking me. i wake up to jj standing over me. "what?" i say. i sit up and look around, pope and cleo are both gone. "john b" he says, shaking john b awake. i hear this noise, but i can't quite make it out. i look around, but i can't see anything. john b wakes sarah up. i look at the sky and see a plane. that's what the noise was. "hey!! hey we're down here!" john b screams, running down the sand. "hey!" sarah shouts, following him and waving up at the sky. i stand up and look at jj. he looks back but he doesn't look happy. "hey!! hey!" john b shouts. "come on, please!" sarah shouts. "hey!" i shout. the plane keeps flying away from us. "no no no!" sarah shouts. "damn it!" john b shouts. just as it's about to go out of our sight, the plane turns around. "guys" i say. "guys, guys, they see us!" i shout. "they're gonna go to the pond!" john b says, grabbing his shoes and running. sarah does the same. i walk over to jj. "it's gonna be fine" i say. he looks at the ground for a moment, then walks around me, grabs his shoes and follows sarah and john b. i sigh and do the same. when we get to the pond, cleo and pope are already there, screaming and cheering. the plane lands and pope runs closer to it. i stop and look at it, and jj stops next to me. a guy gets out of the plane, i'd say around 40. "well what do we have here?" he says. "just some castaways" john b says. "check that one of the grocery list" he laughs. "what happened? you sink a boat or something?". "uh, jumped off one" john b says. "her dads", he says, pointing at sarah. she stares at him. "in laws man" the guy says. "i'm jimmy portis" he says. "can you get us out of here?" pope says. he looks at all of us. "this all of you? six?" portis says. "yeah, is that too heavy?" john b says. "nah.. we'll probably just fit you all in, anyways, we can always throw someone overboard right?" portis says, laughing. john b laughs and follows him onto the plane. pope follows him too. portis stands at the door. and lets them past. cleo and sarah follow. i look at jj. "come on" he says. i nod and follow him.

jj pov:

"so what were you doing all the way out here?"  i say to portis, as he gets ready to take off. "i was spotting fish" he says. "what were you spotting?" i say. "you know, the usual. wahoo" he says. i look at john b, he shakes his head. "i'd hold on to something, things can get a little spicy at takeoff" portis says. i look at cleo and ki, who both grab onto something. after flying for a little, i signal for the others to come a little closer. pope, john b and sarah are already next to me, so cleo and ki just move up slightly. "wahoo don't run in september. ever. so whoever this guy is, he's not a fisherman" i say. i look at ki, she gulps and sighs. "maybe the run just starts early round here?" pope says. "are you sure about that? in the caribbean?" i say. "no, i know what this is. he's working for my dad" sarah says. "and he's probably been looking for us the entire time". "alright, we gotta find out" i say, scanning the plane. "start looking for some sort of... clues" i say, fixing my eyes on a bag on the back of portis' chair. i signal to john b to distract him and i look through his bag. i slide my hand in slowly and pull out a few papers, and a book. i also slide his wallet in my pocket. pope takes the papers and i read the cover book. "the loss of el dorado" i say. i open the front cover and find a postcard. i pull it out and my heart drops. i show pope and sarah. it's a photo of the coastal venture. "oh my god... this is the boat we were on. with eberhimi and the cross" sarah says, showing ki and cleo, then john b. "so he was looking for us?" cleo says. "exactly" i say. "he's working for my dad" sarah says, panicking. "guys, whatever it is, it's happening fast. look" ki says, looking past me and out the window behind me. i turn around to see land. "that looks like barbados, i've been here with terrance" cleo says. "okay, there's six of us, and one of him. you know my vote. we storm the cockpit" i say. "who's gonna fly the plane, dumbass?" john b says. "i've seen pope fly simulators" i say. "i crop-dusted for my uncle last summer, but this is not the same thing" pope says. "we don't have time to pretend that's a real option" kiara says. i look at her. "do you have an idea?" i say. "something safe!?" she says. "why don't we just wait, until the plane lands somewhere safe, and then we sneak out, and if someone comes to mess with us... we mad-dog them" pope says. "okay" cleo and ki say. "i like the mad-dog part" i say. "just put that back" ki says, handing me the book and papers. "put it back, be cool" she says. john b distracts him again and i carefully slide the papers back in, but when i'm trying to get the book in, it gets stuck and portis sees me. "hey! man, what the hell are you doing!?" he says, pushing me back. i fall back into pope and portis starts trying to snatch the book out of my hand. "that's mine!" he says. "who are you really!?" i say. "fly the plane!" kiara shouts. "please fly the plane please" pope says. portis turns around but when he does, the plane is already flying straight towards the water. "shit! come on come on!" portis says. ki and sarah start to panic, badly. we're being thrown all over and ki and sarah start screaming. pope and cleo start grunting from being smacked against the plane walls. the plane smashes into the water and tips downwards, sending us all flying down. the plane falls back straight and begins to fill with water. i have my eyes closed, but i can feel it.
