So close...

We finally made it outside. When we got outside, there was nothing but water everywhere! "This whole lab is on an island!" Brooke said, surprised. "How do we get out of here?" Sam asked.
Michael looked around, and saw a helicopter. "Guys! There's a helicopter!" Michael said, pointing to it. "We just gotta get in there, and fly out of here!" "Do you even know how to fly one?" I asked. "We could try," he said. We then ran over to the helicopter. Michael got on the pilot side, and Austin sat beside him. We then helped Daniel get on the helicopter.
We then got in except for me, Brooke, and Meagan. "There's no more room. What do we do now?" Meagan asked. "Wait. Is there like a rope ladder or something?" I asked. Lauren looked around, and saw one. "Here's one," Lauren said. "Jacob. What are you doing?" Brooke asked. "Michael, can you take off?" I asked. "I think," Michael asked. "Let me figure something out." He flipped switches and pushed buttons.
Finally, the propeller began spinning, and Michael lifted it off the ground! "OKAY! WE'RE LIFTING OFF!" Michael yelled, over the blades. Lauren then dropped the ladder and it rolled on the ground. "JACOB! WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Brooke yelled. "GUYS! HOLD ON TIGHT!" I yelled, grabbing on to the ladder. "HECK NO I'M NOT GETTING ON THAT THING!" Brooke yelled. Meagan then grabbed the ladder. "WE CAN MAKE IT WORK!" Meagan yelled. "JUST HOLD ON TIGHT TO THE LADDER AND LOCK YOUR LEGS!" We got on to the ladder and locked our legs around the ladder to stay on. Michael lifted off, and flew over the water. "DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY IDEA ABOUT HOW TO GET HOME?!" I asked, loudly.
Just then, right behind us, another helicopter was flying behind us. "STOP RIGHT THERE!" It was Dr. Enero! "HOW THE HECK DID HE MANAGE TO SURVIVE THAT?!" I asked. He then got out his tranquilizer gun and began shooting! "MICHAEL! CAN'T YOU GO ANY FASTER?!" Sam asked. "I'M TRYING AS HARD AS I CAN!" He yelled.
I then saw him aim for Meagan and Brooke! He pointed straight down, and he fired a dart and it hit Brooke's leg! "BROOKE!" I yelled. Meagan then immediately grabbed her hand. Brooke was almost about to fall! She then got so tired, her hand slipped and she fell into the ocean! "BROOKE!!!" We yelled. Meagan then started to cry.
And then, another dart was fired, and it hit Meagan's leg! She then started getting tired, and she let go. But then, I immediately grabbed her hand and held it tightly! It was hard to hold on because my hand was sweaty! "MEAGAN! DON'T LET GO! HANG ON TO MY HAND!" I yelled. She then slowly closed her eyes. "Jacob...." She said, slowly. "If I let go...I want to let you know that...." I then felt tears streaming down my cheeks as my hand slowly started slipping. "Meagan...please...I will not...let you go...," I said. "Jacob...I want to let you know...you're the bravest person I've ever met.... And I...I lo-" and suddenly, her hand slipped, and she fell! "MEAGAN!!!" I yelled. I then immediately cried as I held on to the ladder. I then saw the gun, aimed at me.
And right when he was about to shoot, something hit the doctor! And a few seconds later, he dropped the gun, and he fell into the ocean! I climbed up and saw Lauren with a tranquilizer gun! "NICE SHOT!" Michael yelled. "THANKS!" Lauren said.
"OKAY! IS IT ME, OR ARE WE GOING DOWN?!" Austin asked, loudly. We looked down. We were going down. "MICHAEL PULL UP!" Sam yelled. "I CAN'T!" Michael yelled back. "GET READY TO JUMP BEFORE WE CRASH!" "WHAT?!" Daniel yelled. "YOU GOTTA JUMP FOR IT!" Michael yelled. "GRAB DANIEL AND PUSH HIM OUT!" Austin yelled. "I PREFER TO ROLL DOWN!" Daniel yelled. He then rolled to the edge. "HURRY BEFORE WE CRASH!" Austin yelled. He then began counting. "ONE...TWO...THREE!!!" And Daniel attempted the roll of faith!
"OKAY! GO!" Michael yelled at the girls. They both held their hands, and leaped out of the helicopter! Austin and Michael then opened the doors.
After Michael jumped, Austin looked at me and yelled, "ARE YOU CRYING?!" I then wiped my face and yelled, "JUST JUMP!" "MEAGAN FELL! THAT'S WHY YOU'RE CRYING RIGHT?!" He asked. "JUST JUMP OFF THE CHOPPER!!!" I yelled again. He didn't say anything, and then he jumped. I looked down. I was actually close to the water. I closed my eyes, and fell back into the water.
When I landed in the water, it was so cold. It felt like a thousand knifes stabbed all over my body. And after that...I felt weak...and I passed out....
