The Lost Island ( COMPLETED!!! )

~Chapter 18~

Rishka jolted awake as she felt her surroundings shake.

"What's going on? Jack? Mark?" She called, still half asleep.

     "Rishka! Calm down! It's me, Amelia!"

     "Amy? Is that you?" Rishka asked, confused. She could have sworn she was back on the island. Amelia nodded and she sighed.

     "Yeah, it's me Kitty." She said, unbuckling her seatbelt and opening the jeep door. Rishka shook her head, trying to clear her thoughts.

     "Wait, what are we doing?" Rishka asked.

     "Well, you want to rescue your friends right?" Amelia asked. Rishka nodded with realization of the task. Amelia smiled and shut the door. Rishka followed her, both girls keeping to the shadows. They approached the door, and came out of the shadows, seeing no one at the door. Rishka crept up to the door, and poked her head inside. She winced when the door creaked open, and chains rattled. She saw one of the Giants, who's eyes were reflecting the light like a cat's. Amelia gasped and hid behind Rishka.

     Ethan was about to fall asleep when the creaking of a door announced the presence of a human. His head lifted and whipped around, trying to make out the figures. He recognized one; the little human that Jack and Mark had been rescued by. He rolled onto his belly and crawled as close as the chains would let him. The chains on his hands buckled and tensed, restraining the giant. He winced and laid his chin on the floor. Rishka approached him, her hand outstretched.

     "Hey, Ethan, calm down." She said. His breathing slowed to a steady, calm rate. He felt her minuscule hand touch the tip of his nose. Ethan crossed his eyes to look at her. "We're gonna get you guys out of here."

     The other human hissed things at her that he couldn't make out, but judging by Rishka's reaction, he guessed it was no good. He whined and nudged Rishka, which in turn made her giggle.

     "See, he's not going to bite!" She said. Ethan tilted his head to the side, then retreated back within the range the chains would allow him to move. He sat up, and both girls froze, mainly the other one. Rishka approached and he stared at her, as if she were an unknown snake. He scooted back a little. Rishka eyed the chains, then spoke.

     "Hey, don't worry, we came to free you guys!" Rishka said. Ethan nodded, and sat still, recognizing the situation. Rishka scowered about the room, knowing that there would be a key, but there could also be a switch. Amy set out to find said key, while Rishka looked for the release switch. Her search led her to the control room, which was capable of viewing all three giants, oddly enough.

     Were they planning on attack a long time ago or is this how they set up military bases? Rishka thought. 

     She climbed up the stairs and was about to open the door, when the knob jiggled. She quickly hid behind the door, watching as a man came out and jogged down the stairs, too busy to notice the invader. He seemed more focused on something else, and a familiar roar cutting through the ambience of the base answered the question of what was he worried about. She darted into the room and locked the door, and saw that there were four monitors, three focused on the giants at an angle where all could be seen.

     She saw a large machine with a needle attatched to the front of it drive itself away from Mark, who snarled and was cleaning his arm. Rishka quickly searched around for the switch that would free them, and saw a large button that said clearly, DO NOT PUSH. Rishka pushed it, and she could hear metal clanking, and a voice saying "Warning, subjects have been released from containment." 

     Mark lunged, and crashed into a wall, expecting to have been pulled back by metal chains. He looked up and saw Rishka disappear.

     "Go figure out what the hell happened!" Felix barked. five men ran up to the tower, and Felix froze when he heard a low growl behind him. He slowly turned around, and yelped when he saw Jack staring him down. 

     Rishka watched as men clambered up the stairs, and searched around. She saw the door knob jiggle, and began to panick.

     Yep, I'm dead!

(So, what is gonna happen? Is she gonna get caught by the men, or is she gonna try to escape/fight back? Who knows!)
