The human brain is amazing, isn’t it? One moment it can be in the process of sleep, finally getting the much needed rest it longed for, but at the next it can be wide awake, as if it was never tired in the first place. It can change from exhaust to excitement, from fatigue to fear.
The moment she heard the words come out of Liam’s mouth, Art completely forgot about her sore or stiff muscles. That rush or excitement and fear, she decided, there was nothing quite like it. With blood pounding in her ears she made her way over to the closet boy, Zayn. She pressed an ear to his chest, praying that Liam’s words wouldn’t be true.
There wasn’t a sound, only a deathly silence that hung in the air. Art felt her chest start to heave, pulling her head away from his chest and putting her hands on it. She tried to focus on her hands, trying not to look at his pale face and slightly parted white lips. His eyes were open just a bit, but enough for Art to see them glossy and staring off into the distance, as if he was focused on something no one else could see. She felt tears prick her eyes as she tore them away from his face, looking back down at her own shaking hands.
“Can anyone else help Niall and Becky?” She asked before looking up to see two other girls working on the other two victims. She breathed a sigh of relief and focused on her hands again, her vision starting to become blurry from not only the tears spilling over her eyes, but the fatigue that began to tug at her mind again.

Everyone has that one friend that they love to death, but annoys the heck out of them. The friend that is basically part of their family, but they just want to punch them in the face.
To Percy Blaire, that friend was Kylie Akina. She loved the girl to death, but moments – Like right now actually – she really wanted nothing more than to punch her in the face. She felt her skin start to prick and her hair stand on end from annoyance.
“Please Percy?”
“No.”
“Please?”
“No.
“PUH-LEASE?”
“Kylie,” She said through clenched teeth, “I. Said. No.”
“C’Mon Blaire, don’t be a killjoy!”
“No, nothing will be fun, what if we get in trouble?”
“We won’t if you come with me and don’t tell.” Kylie put her tiny fists on her hips, putting a certain tone of attitude to her voice. Percy rolled her eyes.
“Kylie, you know your Mum doesn’t want you going into the jungle. It’s dangerous, no one has ever gone in there before-“
“Until now, I’ve been in there before. A lot of times, and I found some new plants that aren’t on this end of the island. They could be used to help your Mum with her medical… Stuff!” Kylie protested, Percy thought it over for just a second before rolling her eyes.
“Fine.” She sighed; Kylie began to squeal and ran up to hug her. She was stopped short and held out at arm’s length when Percy grabbed her shoulder.
“But,” She added. “You have to go with me to sneak a basket out of my Mum’s room. She’d kill us if she knew what we were doing.” She muttered.
“Please,” Kylie teased, strutting slightly as she started off in the direction of the village. “It’s almost as if you don’t believe in my ninja sk-ILLS!” She squealed a bit as the sand under her foot slipped out from under her, sending her tiny body crashing to the ground. Percy chuckled and shook her head.
