Running... Running... Running...

My limbs not keeping up with my brain. I need to run.

Oli isn't doing much better beside me. Another arrow shoots and lands just behind us.

This is our fourth day on the island, earlier I had suggested we go inland and search for something, anything. Why did I suggest that? 

Another arrow shoots, I jump out the way just in time merely missing getting hit.

Another one goes, it doesn't come anywhere near me. But it gets Oli, he stumbles to the ground. It didn't hit him, no. It tied some sort of rope around his ankles making him trip.

I run over to him, trying to untie rope.

"Ali, just go!" Oli shouts shooing me away.

"No I won't--" I was cut off from my sentence when an arrow appears in my right shoulder. I tilt my head down. It has embedded itself in my shoulder. Why don't I feel pain? I bring my left hand up and wipe some blood away. My blood. This isn't good.

"Ali! Ali!" I hear Oli shout, but I'm already drifting off into a deep sleep.

"Ali! Ali!" I hear again, bit this time it isn't a memory.

"Ali! Wake up!" Thea yells shaking me awake. But my brain doesn't register that the memory is over. Threat. I flip Thea over with my hand ready to karate chop her throat.

"Ali..." Oli whispers from behind her. "It's ok."

My brain finally comes to check with everything. I look down at myself, I am wet. Soaked even. Thats when I feel the rain beating down on my skin. And I'm no longer in my bed, I'm next to my window, which is now open letting the rain in. Mum and Walter walk over and close it.

"Ali? Is everything alright?" Walter asks. Excuse me? What right does he have! He's not family! But I refuse to say that to his face. He's just trying to be nice Ali. Calm it. Anger check. I breath out through my nose.

I don't bother replying, I just stand up and walk over to Oli, he wraps his arms around my stiff shoulder. He knows what I'm going through. Back on the island when we both had nightmares, we'd comfort each other. We only had each other. No one else.

I don't know how long we stood like that, but when I finally raised my head from Oli's chest mum, Thea and Walter where gone. Oli and I never really were ones to talk on the island, always worried a threat would here us. He nodded to me and helped me into bed before returning to his own. But he and I both knew, I wouldn't be going back to sleep tonight. Not when I've just had such a vivid memory.
