Anne and Finn sat in the dark cuddling to preserve body heat.
"Anne" Finn says with a small shiver.
"Yeah?" Anne questions.
"You can go to sleep" Finn replies "If you want". She looks at him in the eyes.
"Really?" She says.
"Of course" he replies. She thanks him and finds a small pile of dry leaves she sets them down onto the sand and lays her head down on them facing the sky. She quickly falls asleep. That night she has a dream.

---------------------------
(Anne's POV) I suddenly was standing up. I looked down at my body and didn't see the leggings and tank top I was wearing that day. I saw brown clothes and a small knife hanging from my waist. I try to scream for help but I can't my voice doesn't work. I turn to see if Finn is there but he isn't. Suddenly I hear a rustling from the jungle. I turn and see a native man wearing nothing but a small almost hula skirt and a necklace with what seems to be shark teeth. Suddenly my body moves without my consent I run at full speed toward the man and stab him in the chest with the knife I have. Suddenly and entire tribe of these men take me to a camp. One of them hits me and I pass out. When I wake up I am tied onto a chair with every one of these men chanting in a circle around me. One of them seeming to be the chief walks up to me and starts speaking in a native tongue. But somehow I understand it.
"I have killed all of your men and if you do not want to die each year you must bring me 5 sacrifices. Your children and your children's children must do this. Or my tribe will kill each and every one of them." I wake up in a cold sweat I see Finn standing over me. He is saying my name over and over again. He sees my eyes open and says
"Anne, did you have a dream?" I nod my head "I could hear everything you were saying it all. It was like you were possessed"
I sit up and see that it is morning there is a fire to my right and everyone is sitting on logs except Braden and Sally. "Where are Braden and Sally?" I ask he shakes his head
"When Chad and Viola got back I went to look for them, I found their bodies over there I dragged them into the water and floated them out to the sea." I look at him in shock.
"So they're dead?" I ask "But,but..." I start to cry in pain knowing that two people I have known forever just died. Finn sits down next to my shivering sandy body and puts his arm over my shoulder, this comforts me. Yet I continue to cry. He once agin asks about my dream.
"Did you have dream" he insists to know
"Yes, I did and two people that were nicer to me than you have ever been just died!" I scream at him with hate. He stands up. I realize what I said. "I didn't know you thought that way" he says obviously hurt my my words.
"I'm sorry" I say with tears in my eyes "I didn't mean it like that".
"It's fine" he replies with sadness"I'm just gonna take a walk"
he turns and walks into the jungle. Viola and Chad follow him giving me dirty looks as they pass. After what feels like hours of waiting for them I hear the the most bloodcurdling scream anyone has ever heard. Followed by Finn yelling "Help".
