Breaching Daylight

Chapter 5 (IV). The Fault In Us

Abby Cox | 2:19am | Cave

"Elizabeth! Sophia!" Hannah screams as the rocks now block the pathway.

"We can't do anything about them! We found a pathway out! Let's go!" Mia demands as Hannah finally turns around and runs.

"Why did we do this?" Hannah starts sobbing, "we should of just done a school prank, we didn't need to go this far."

"I'm sorry ok! What's done is done, I wish I can revert back to my decisions but right now, thinking about it isn't going to help," Mia shouts at Hannah.

"What are we going to do when we get out of the caves? It's flooded everywhere," I question as Mia looks at me confusingly.

"Shit it's flooded?" Mia asks.

"Shit you woke up down here as well," Wayde joins in.

"Guys I see the way out straight ahead," I yell as I could a glimpse of light blinding me.

However, one of the monsters were at the entrance as Wayde pulls out his shotgun and fires it. The creature went down, but suddenly I could hear more monsters from behind us.

"This shit isn't going to end is it?" I start bitching hard from the frustration.

We finally make it outside and all four of us fell in the water. "Fuck, fuck it's cold!" I complain.

Wayde directs us to trees in front of us and we start climbing to the top and we look for an exit route. "Wait do you guys see the moving boat?" Hannah spots as we look at her direction.

"I do!" I yell as I start shouting for their attention.

"I see Lacie, Mitch and James!" Mia roars.

All of us start jumping but then the tree that Wayde and I were standing on starts falling into the water. I could see in the water that Wayde was trapped beneath as I swam to the top to call for help.

"GUYS! WAYDE IS STUCK!"

Mia and Hannah jump down and all three of us help Wayde. We lift the tree and he gets released as we swam to the top for air. "Fucking hell, we need to stop jump-" I suddenly get dragged down into the water as I realise those monsters followed us up here.

I had a flare stick as I open it and I scare off the creature. Wayde pulls me up and I gasp for air.

"See that bathhouse over there? We need to get to it, it's the only stable ground near us," Wayde informs us.

All four of us swim to it as I take a glance from behind and I could see the water moving about a metre away.

"Shit, there's more coming," I call out as we all climb onto the roof.

I look at the boat in the distance as I scramble through my bag. "I got a flare gun! I found it on the hotel rooftop before," I explain as I try to find the shell for it.

Wayde starts shooting the water as I pass Hannah and Mia some flare sticks from my bag that I had on.

I finally shoot the sky and I could see the smoke trail zoom past into the distance and explode.

The boat finally turns around and heads towards us.

Fuck yeah!

However, there were monsters coming as Wayde shouts out that he has no shells left to fire at them.

The boat gets closer and closer as the monsters in our area increases.

The boat finally arrives, "Get in bitches!" Lacie screams as we all hop on and the boat heads off.

However, one creature dives out of the water and smashes its arm on both Mia and I, causing us to fall into the water.

Both of us struggle as we try to fight of this thing, but it was too strong.

Mitch dives in as he stabs the creature numerous times, but in the process gets scratched and suddenly goes limp.

Mia and I try to help him, but the body pushes Mia to the ground and her right foot gets ensnared between rocks.

I was running out of oxygen and I had to decide who I was going to save.

I look at Mia and I could mouth words to me that I obviously didn't hear, but I knew what she wanted me to do. I nod my head and I swam to Mitch and swim up as Hannah pulls Mitch's body up.

I look in the water and I could see more monsters swarm Mia.

I'm sorry.

20 minutes later...

All of us sat in peace. Mitch, Lacie, Hannah, Wayde, James and I had just survive one shitty place. The island was finally out of view as I never, ever want to see it again.

At the start there were 16 of us and now there were only 6 people.

We all were silent till, "Guys? Do you see that ship?" James questions as we all look behind.

The ship's light shot at us as we wave for help.

But little did we know we weren't just getting picked up...
