A new adventure awaits......

On a warm, sunny morning. I Antonia Olaniyi woke up ready for an adventure of a lifetime...

10:30am, we were on way to depart to go to Peru. I was accompanied by Mackenzie Huggins and Caroline Smith. Our parents are world class journalists but we classify ourselves as them.

A few minutes later, we arrived at the port harbour to get on our boat; we unloaded our luggage from the car and our nostrils were flooded with the salty scent of the sea. "our journey starts right here, right now!" I said excitedly
"bring it on!!" Mackenzie screamed.
"all the things we could do, all we can discover" Caroline pondered at the thought of Peru.
Suddenly, the call for people departing to Peru were called and we made our way to the boat : where we were greeted by the captain warmly. We headed inside and went on a mini obstacle course to find our rooms.
"at last" we all proclaimed as we finally reached our room.
We opened the door to a luxurious heaven.
We placed our luggage under the beds, we've chosen and took a lie on them closing our eyes for a mini snooze.
"see you in a few hours" Caroline joked.
"oh my days, bro" me and Mackenzie sighed in unison.

A few hours later, we woke to have dinner which they were serving but the time I woke up, the others had either gotten changed or awake in bed.
The boat rocking increased from the beginning of the journey.
"the ships swaying is making me ill" Caroline yawned giving a stretch.
"you not the only one uno" I rolled my eyes and said.
We made our way to the canteen to get our food. The ship swayed side to side uncontrollably, we made our way to a table and ordered from the menu . As we waited, we spoke about all the things we wanted to do.
"I can't wait to see professor Otto and help him with his new discovery's" Mackenzie squealed.
"I know it's gonna be fun" I said cheerfully.
"what about professor Richard??" Caroline said displeased.
We all laughed but something stopped that.....

SLASH! SKKKRR! BANG! the boat had crashed into a large rock island  and tilted deeply to the left : everyone gasped and screamed, the decorations dropped and the glass bulbs fell out of place and burst.

The radio suddenly came on with the captain saying ''we have crashed and lost control, everybody move to the docking bay''.
We rushed to our rooms to grab our luggage, we raced through the halls. At this moment in time, I thought we were gonna end like the titanic. As we reached the docking bay, we were shoved onto a rammed boat. The boat splashed into the water, instantly being hit by crashing waves. The boat rocked harshly. It tipped over. I thought this was the end.
Below the water, water was all I could see, my life gone to waste. Just like that?
I thought. NO. I will fight for my life and my parents.
I pushed my self above the waves and with the remaining energy I yelled
"Mackenzie, Caroline, Help!?"
Searching for my Childhood friends who have been washed in sea. Their response yet not received.

Almost to the thought of all hope is lost....
"Antonia" Mackenzie shouted from a distance, but I could faintly hear her
"Guys, help where are you!" Caroline screaming in the opposite direction yet the waves slashing over each other took over her voice
Pain, pain all I could feel. I felt like all my energy and life had been sucked out by a vacuum and my body was floating like a empty can of beans. Blank minded. I tried to think but nothing. Why? How? When? Why now?
