Parapsychology (MPHFPC)

Chapter 2

Abby's POV

I'm currently carrying Claire on my hip, while she sleeps. Around us both is a thick jacket we stole from the clothing rack of a small cabin in the woods. I decided to follow the road leading away from the cabin in an attempt to find a town or any sort of indicator of our location and somewhere we could get food or clean water.

We left the cabin two days ago and the road still continues straight into the distance, no destination in sight yet.

Enoch's POV

When I woke up, I knew something was wrong. Instead of the musty blanket and a mattress beneath me, I could only feel a disgusting grainy substance. Sand. Water washed over my feet up to my knees. I must be on a beach. The sky above me was dark so I knew it must be night time.

As I sat up a stabbing pain flooded my head, after hissing in pain, a thought crossed my mind. I don't know where my girlfriend is. After falling over once and discovering I have a scraped knee I stand up and look around me. Abby is no where insight. Nor is her insufferable brother, or Emma or Ms. Peregrine or anyone else I know. Just a beach that continues on for as far as the eye can see in either direction.

At this point the best thing I can do is look for the others and try to remember what happened.

I walk further away from where the tide is rolling in and begin walking across the beach to my right.

The sun was just starting to lighten the sky when I was able to see two things in front of me. They were at least a block away but I ran towards them. As I got closer I could see one of them moving and that they were people.

To my luck they weren't strangers, not to my luck neither of them was Abby.

To their luck the two lovebirds had managed to stick together.

Laying on the sand in front of me, were Hugh and Fiona. I woke Hugh up first.

" Enoch? Where... Are we? And where Abby? " Hugh asked.

" I don't know where we are. Or where Abby is. I don't even remember what happened to get us here. We're clearly stranded  Why would I know where Abby is? " I snapped back at him.

" I don't know. You two are just usually never without the other. And don't you remember? The ship sunk.... Again. There was a storm. And we all puked out onto life boats. We must have gotten separated by the storm. "

A storm, the ship sinking. I didn't remember any of it. But it did make sense, the ship was old, and we did literally pull it off the ocean floor after it had been ship wrecked previously.

" Well, you wake up Fiona. Then we'll try to find other people, or some sort of food or shelter. "
