Deserted

Chapter 6

Hey, y'all.

Looks I forgot to update yesterday for a second time. Yikes.

Sorry for making y'all wait so long. I was originally going to update last week as usual, but when reviewing the last two chapters. I saw how... mediocre they were. So I rewrote them, but it took a decent while to do. Regardless, this new chapter 6 is half-decent, decent enough to be published.

Nothing else really new going. Remember to check up on updates on my profile.

Anyway, that's all.

Skye was able to land her copter, and jump out of it. She was over-zealous to see the toy, and the three practically jumped into a hug.

"Oh my gosh, I thought you guys died," Skye remarked as she broke away.

"Honestly, we thought we were going to," Marshall replied, giving a weak smile.

"Uh, wow, you guys did not do well on here. I'm not trying to be rude... but you guys look-."

"Starved? We know. There wasn't much here to eat, so we're practically on our knees," Everest interjected. "But, seriously, it was a miracle you guys came on time."

"Well, uh, sorry that you two love birds couldn't get help sooner," Skye teased, as they both lightly blushed.

"HOW DID YOU-, I mean, uh, what did you say?" Marshall quickly pretended to not hear Skye, as Skye chuckled lightly, and Everest still stood there, unable to comprehend what just happened.

"Wait, shoot, I need to tell Ryder. I just got so invested, after seeing you guys, you had no idea how much we missed you. Anyway-," Skye said and pulled out her pup tag. "Come in, Ryder," she spoke to her pup tag, as it began to light up. They then heard Ryder's voice.

"Ryder here, what is going on Skye?"

"You're not going to believe this, but I think I found something," Skye replied, turning her gaze to Marshall and Everest.

"What is it? Is it good?" he questioned.

"Well, maybe you might find the answer if I let someone speak to you," Skye told him, and handed it to Marshall. Smiling weakly, he said his first words to Ryder in more than a week: "Hey Ryder, how are you?"

"Marshall?! Is that you?!"

"The one and only. I'm so glad you guys could come because Everest and I were losing hope," Marshall admitted, handing it to Everest.

"Hey Ryder," she spoke more clearly than Marshall did, however, the fatigue in her voice was still present.

"Hey, Everest. Alright, Skye, stay where you are, I'll track where you are from your pup tag. Hang in there, we'll be there shortly," Ryder reassured her.

"Will do, Ryder. I'll try my best to comfort the two while we wait for you. Skye over and out."

"Rodger, we'll inform you once we reach you," Ryder replied, as his voice cut off.

"Well, I guess we can catch up on life while we wait. How have y'all been lately?" Skye questioned, turning her attention to Marshall and Everest.

"Uh, well, I'm doing fine, I guess. It's just the stress has gotten to me a lot," Marshall replied.

"Same here. So much has happened, I've kinda fallen into a huge spiral of stress. I'm just glad we're getting off this God-forsaken island soon," Everest said to Skye as well. It was then that Skye finally took her first real glimpse of the two. Initially, Skye was more focused on finally being reunited with the two, disregarding how they looked. Now, though, she paid more attention to them.
