Survival Island

Ceremony

May's POV:

I knew I had to pull myself together for the others but I had never expected Max to flip out on me as he did. He still hasn't come back yet and I had numbly wondered back to the site about six hours ago, watching and waiting for his return. What family does he have on this island? We had to leave in two hours for our next trip, one or two days and I would no longer have the brother I only just got back. Jason left to speak with the guards about the safety of the group while everyone else hung out and ate their dinner.

Leaves rustled and I looked back to see Amanda take a seat in the spot next to me. "Listen Naomi I. I can't say that I know what your going through but well I. I don't really know what to say anymore, we were best friends and so much has happened recently. I just, I just want my best friend back." Her voice broke and she leaned on my shoulder as she began to cry. I ran my fingers through her hair in numbness while she sniffled and calmed down a bit. We weren't fixed but we at least found each others company calming at the moment.

Once our hug ended, we sat quietly until it was time to leave. We were alone in the back corner of our little campground when I noticed that a few of us were missing. "Amanda stay here and do not move, I'm going to check something out." I said and I guess she could tell that something was wrong in my voice so she looked around and nodded. Crystal had been at the edge of the other side of the woods with Sage, but I couldn't see either of them. I would have assumed they went for a walk but Kole wasn't by the edge anymore and his food lay on the floor. Kole wasn't one to waste food or just leave it laying around.

Julian and Jason were speaking with Randy and Ricky at the moment meaning that they were too distracted to see what was going on around them but I didn't have time to alert them of my suspicion. The jaguars had all left with Max last night and so my security system wasn't exactly operating correctly. Our guards had all been drawn in on the boys conversation and were a good fifteen feet in from their given posts.

Something was off and I couldn't tell what it was, I just knew that there was something going on. I began to walk along the west side of campus when I heard Amanda grunt and I knew there was no one close to her when I left so I sprinted back to her location. "Amanda!" I yelled while sprinting through the woods and jumping over fallen logs. I heard something, I just couldn't tell what it was and knew I needed back up. "Jaso-" something happened, I wasn't sure what it was but something happened and everything went black.

Jason's POV:

The guys and I had been discussing guarding plans which is why I didn't mind the guards coming closer to hear ahead of time what it was that they were supposed to do. After our discussion ended, I looked around and frowned. "Where's Naomi?" I asked and this caught everyone's attention. People searched all over our little campus and people started realizing that even more of us were missing.

Just when things couldn't get any worse, Max arrived. "Where is she?" I glared, my hatred for him growing every second. The way he treated Naomi was uncalled for, yes she asked a lot of questions but it was because she cared about him and what he has been through. He stopped moving and looked around the camp.

"Where are the rest of your people? Where is Naomi?" He asked and I was annoyed at the question being given back to me.

"I wouldn't have asked you where she was if I knew where she was! She was upset and sitting with Amanda one minute and so we had a group conversation; but, when we finished she was no where in sight. We didn't see the others go missing either." I said and he nodded.
