The FIVE

Chapter 3- Run For Your Life

"You son of a bitch! You kissed her?!" Josh shouts while pushing Jake

"What the hell man?" Jake shouts, anger clear in his eyes

"You kissed her!"

"So what? You told her you hate her! Why the hell are you so defensive now?" A look of guilt spreads across Josh's face

"Guys will you stop fighting!" I shout and they turn to me. I turn to Josh "you said you hated me because of what happened after everything!" I turn to Jake "and you kissed me as a spare of the moment thing! Both of you, get over it!"

"Drama queen much?" Ansley scoffs while picking at her nails and I get mad.

"This is none of your concern so back off princess" I spat angrily and she pushes me and I push back. We go rolling down a hill and-

"Alex, wake up. Your having a bad dream" a voice that I recognize as Ansley's says and I jump up. "Do you realize that you shake in your sleep? I got so scared, I thought you were having a seizure" she says and I smirk

"Awe, do you actually care about me?" I say in a teasing tone and she chuckles

"No. But since we are the only two girls on this island, I can't afford for you to die on me" I get up and stare at the ocean.

"Do you think we are ever going to get out of here?"

"In some twisted way, yes" and at that moment a plane flies over the island

"HEY! DOWN HERE! HELP!" We scream while waving our arms but it's no use, the plane flew over us and away from the island. The boys groan and cover their ears

"Why are you so loud?" Jake groans and while Ansley thinks it's hot, I just think it's annoying.

"There was a freakin plane! We are never getting out of here, we have no flares, no weapons, nothing!"

"It's dark out, how the hell do you expect them to see us?" Josh complains and I roll my eyes.

"I'm going to look around, maybe we can find something useful on this damn island" I say angrily while stomping into the woods.

I hear footsteps behind me but I keep stomping. The footsteps don't stop so I just turn around and shout "Will you just leave me alone!"

What I see makes me freeze in place. I can't make it out but it's some sort of animal. God I'm so stupid to think that nothing would happen!

Run! Run for your life!

I do exactly what my brain tells me and run back as fast as I can as the thing follows me. I run into Jake and I start freaking out.

"Jake! Jake! It's there!"

"What's there?" He asks and I am unable to answer. A growl comes from behind us and before I know it I am in the floor with the beast on top of me. I start screaming and crying.

"NO! GET AWAY FROM ME! GET IT OFF!!!!!" I scream while closing my eyes.  I hear a whimper and then all of a sudden it rolls off of me. I open my eyes and see Jake with a pocket knife.

"Why do you have that?"

"My dad always believed that I needed protection in case something happens so I take it everywhere I go. How do you think I gutted the fish we've eaten for the past few days? It saved your life didn't it?" He says with a smile and I jump into his arms and hug him

"Thank you so much. You quite literally saved my life more than once and I will forever be thankful" I say while kissing him on the cheek and he blushes a little.
