Friday could hear Christopher's laugh circling around her head. This is what he wanted. But I had to save Melanie. I couldn't leave her to die. The rumbling got closer.
Friday: Everybody, climb the rocks get as high as you can.
Everyone tried to climb on the rocks, gripping onto whatever they could, As the steady rumble slowly came towards us, I saw Melanie slip. She couldn't lose Melanie for the second time. She Jumped down and hugged Melanie just as the wave of water hit. Friday tried to stay still but the water swirled them around.
After the water receded Ian ran over to them, both coughing and spluttering. Friday sat up and looked over at Melanie. She looked dreadful, her hair was covered in sand and her face was covered in a thin layer of grime. She helped Melanie get up and they hugged for a long time.
Ian: Sorry to burst you bubble, but if another wave comes I don't want to drown again.
Friday and Melanie instantly broke their hug, knowing that Ian was right, there was no point being saved from that wave if they were just going to drown again anyway.
Friday: Has anyone seen my torch, ... it must've been washed away.
Melanie: At least we were washed closer to the entrance.
They set off towards the entrance.
As they reached the light of the tunnel they realised Chris's true plan, because staring them right back in the face, was a grate, covered in moss and seaweed and dripping with salty ocean water. They walked up towards it and rattle it, hoping that Chris had managed to fail securing it to the cave's entrance, they were wrong. It could only be opened on the out side with a lock that Chris probably stole from the Royal palace of Norway.
Ian cried out hoping for someone to hear them, it was too late, no-one was around. Friday reached and patted down all her pockets looking for any single trinket that she could possibly use, there was none. She was stressed, you couldn't even hear what she was saying, she was pacing up and down, muttering words unintelligible to human ears.

Yes, she was reciting Pi, but that is when the idea struck her.
She started scooping sand away like digging a hole at the beach, Ian and Melanie suddenly realised what she was doing and soon followed in suit. After 2 mins the water was slowly rising, Friday slipped under in an attempt to escape, she did but has a cut on her side, it wasn't so bad, she wouldn't bleed to death at least. Ian let Melanie to go first , then he followed.
They all staggered onto the beach, only to collapse on the sand. The wind was knocked out of them, it felt as if your chest was devoid of anything, it feels hollow.
It started to rain, the rain felt like acid to the touch. There was no need for words for what they had all just experienced. Ian turned to Friday and pushed a lock of her hair out of her face and behind her ear, he let out a deep chuckle and shook his head and returned his gaze to the stars.
