~Louis' POV~

"LOUIS! LOUIS! QUICK WAKE UP!" I woke up to hear Faith frantically scream my name. I yawned and stretched my arms over my head. I saw Faith sitting there, and that's when I noticed that she looked skinnier than usual. I guess the lack of food got to her.

"Faith, what is it?" My voice was full of panic, and I could tell whatever she was going to tell me wasn't going to be good. She was tightly holding onto me, and that's when I saw it. I turned around and saw ginormous waves splashing against the water, and wind was tossing our raft every which way.

"We're in the middle of a hurricane!" she exclaimed. My eyes widened. I felt the raft begin to tip over, but then it fell back onto the water. It began to rain, only making our situation much worse. We were both shivering, and I could see large pointy rocks in the distance.

"Shit." Faith whispered. That's when a smile appeared on her face. "IT'S LAND! IT'S LAND!" I shook my head. "No Faith, this isn't good. We could die from those rocks!" Her smile turned into a frown.

Our raft was heading straight for the rocks. "Faith, hold on tight to me and close your eyes." I instructed. She did, and that's when our raft went flying into the air, catapulting both of us out of it.

I quickly opened my eyes once more to see myself heading for the rocks.

That's when everything went black.

~Epiphany's POV~

Shit. Shit shit shit. After our raft had been flipped upside down, I couldn't remember anything else. Nothing. Not anyone screaming my name, or me struggling to get to the surface. All I remember was seeing a bright light.

Am I dead? Did I die? If I did, did anyone cry about me? So many thoughts swirled through my head. Wait, I can't be dead. I feel a piercing pain in my left eye. You don't feel pain in Heaven, right?

I slowly opened my right eye. I tried open my left one, but it hurt too much. Great, so now one of my eyes is swollen shut. I reached up to touch it, and it felt like a gigantic grapefruit. This day could only get better.

I learned a lot about these people. They had suffered through so much since the last time they were stranded on an island. Now they have to go through all of it again. 

Wait. Did I say island? I slowly lifted myself up, and that's when I saw that I was indeed, on an island. But it didn't look like an ordinary island. It looked.. tropical. 

I looked down at my leg, and saw that it was bleeding. Badly. There was an abnoramlly large bite mark there, and I swear I could see bone. I began to feel light headed, and I guessed I wasn't lucky enough to get away from the sharks.

But where are the others? Did they even survive? What about Faith and Louis? And wait, is it raining?

My throat was terribly dry, so I drank the rain water as it fell down into my mouth. I quickly tore off a section of my shirt, let my leg wash off a bit more, then wrapped my shirt around it. That will have to make do for now.

I heard someone to sit next to me, and I turned over to see Faith sitting there. "Faith?" I whispered. "Is it really you?"

She shook her head. "Not Faith." That was odd. She had Faith's locket. "Then who are you then?" I asked her suspiciously. 

"I'm Claire. Claire Cunnings."

~Wendy's POV~

After the raft flipped over, everyone was seperated. But I do remember seeing Epiphany hitting her head on some rocks, and the waves tossing her somewhere. I sighed. Wait, I'm still in water.

I looked over to see that I was clutching onto the side of the raft, but it was completely deflated. A stupid shark had taken a ginormous bite out of it.

I sighed. This was no use anymore. But I did know one thing. I had to find land, and I had to find it fast. I looked around where I was floating in the ocean. That's when I remembered that I had a life vest on. Unlike anyone else, I actually put one on.

I looked around, desperately searching for some type of rescue boat. Something. I couldn't believe that there wasn't even a coast guard out here!

I decided to slowly swim along, because if I didn't get out of this freezing water fast, I was going to get hypothermia. It started to rain, and I cursed under my breath. 

I was NOT going to die today because of some stupid sharks. That's when I saw another shark fin, and I whimpered in fear. This day couldn't get any better.

It approached me, but didn't attack. Huh. That's very odd. It poked its head above the water, and that's when I saw that it was a dolphin. But I could tell that it wasn't a wild one.

It was a runaway from some sort of zoo or something. There was even a little collar on it. Which on my opinion, is odd, but you know, I'm kind of glad that it was wearing a collar.

The dolphin curiously inspected me, and I patted it on the nose. It turned around, and thrashed around in the water a bit, as if signaling for me to grab at its fin so it could pull me somewhere.

I hesitated, but I grabbed it anyway, since this dolphin probably knows where land is. It began to tear through the water, going at lightning speed. 

I struggled to keep up with it, and that's when I saw a cute little island that the dolphin was heading towards. And there were people there.

People!

The dolphin swam even faster, and stopped right at a dock, where there was a couple of dark skinned people standing there.

"Are you okay miss?" one of them asked. Wait. I coughed. "Are you - is this - is this Jamaica?!" I asked them.

Another one of them nodded. I sighed in relief. "Well um, it's a long story but this dolphin found me in the middle of the ocean. My friend, Faith Cunnings and her boyfriend Louis Tomlinson were supposed to be here. But then their plane crashed..." I trailed off at the last part.

The same one that asked if I was okay nodded. "They were supposed to stay at a hotel around here, but they never checked in. It was all over the news for weeks. Do you know if they are alive or not?"

I nodded, but then shrugged. "When I last saw them out on the ocean, they were alive. But then our rafts seperated." 

"Well, I'm Herald." the man replied. I shook his hand, and he helped me out of the water. "Let's get you cleaned up and find you a way home okay?" I nodded again.

Just my luck. I hope the others are okay.
