This story is a re-write of an older story! Me and my Co-Author are trying to make it better, and give it an actual plot.
The loud speaker on the ship buzzed loudly, making the passengers nearest to it cover their ears. A throat could be heard being cleared and then then an over enthusiastic man shouted through the speaker. "Ahoy there, passengers! I hope you are all enjoying this absolutely wonderful trip were having. The sun is bright, the water is cool, and there is so much to do here on the wonderful Regal Atlantic Cruise ship!" The man went silent for a moment before laughing into the microphone, "Ah! I almost forgot to tell you, we are about to head through the Bermuda triangle!" He paused and you could hear the awe from a few passengers. "I know, it's scary, with all the legends about it, but rest assured, we've done this a thousand times and not one person has ever been harmed." He laughed once more, "Well, passengers, I hope you're all having a grand time!" A click could be heard and the light music began to pour through the speakers again, everyone relaxing a bit.
"My god this is awful." A brunette adjusted her umbrella to cover her chair more completely, looking over her sunglasses at a blonde laying out next to her. "How are you not a lobster?" The blonde just smiled before sitting up and looking over at her friend.
"Ya know, if you'd just get rid of the umbrella and get some sun, you'd be a bit happier." The blonde's nose crinkled up as she laughed at her friend.
"Ugh," The brunette groaned as she plopped down in her chair, "That was sooo rude, Kamryn, I am plenty happy sitting in the shade and NOT giving myself cancer." Her eyes rolled behind her glasses.
Kamryn just rolled her eyes right back before laying back down, "Whatever you say, Livvy."
"I told you not to call me that," the brunette fumed, "Its Olivia! Say it with me, Oh-liv-ee-ah!" When she ended the sentence she tossed a balled up napkin at her friend.
"Sheesh, kid," Kamryn pouted as she looked over at the other girl, "I'm just teasing."
At that moment, the sun seemed to have gone into hiding and Kamryn's eyes shot up to a person who was blocking the sun from hitting her. She raised an eyebrow at the man standing at the foot of her chair. "Can I help you?"
The man had stark white hair, but appeared to be no older than mid-twenties. "As a matter of fact you can," He grinned, his eyes moving from Kamryn's face to her chest. "Me and my friend over there," he gestured to a guy with his long dark hair pulled into a ponytail, "Well, we'd like to know if you two, very lovely, ladies would like to join us for dinner tonight."
"Not even in your wildest dreams," Kamryn looked the guy over once and made an unimpressed face before getting comfortable in her chair again.
The man let out a sigh before moving his gaze to Olivia, "And you? It doesn't matter if your friend doesn't want to come, we really don't mind sharing." The white haired man gave her a toothy grin and winked.
At this moment Olivia was very glad she had large shades on, so she didn't have to make eye contact with this creeper, she averted her gaze to the side and happened to notice the other guy letting out a deep sigh and face palming at hearing what his friend just said.
Olivia gave a halfhearted smile as she tried to turn the strange man down gently, unlike her friend. With her face blood red and her voice a bit shaky, she spoke "I, um, n-no thank you!" She had to resist the urge to bury her face in her hands with embarrassment.
"Awww, sweetie, come on!" The man moved closer to Olivia, "I can tell by your face that you think I'm attractive, don't worry, we'll make you feel right at home with us!" When he got to Olivia's side a palm came in contact with his chest, the surprising force causing his eyes to widen. He stumbled back, losing his footing at the edge of the pool.
"Keep your creepy self away from her," Kamryn fumed, "You pervert!"
Oliva stood and gasped, "Kamryn!" She grabbed her friend by the arm, "Why would you do that? You're going to get in trouble!" She shook her friend slightly and as if on cue, two cruise personnel rushed over to them, one jumping in to help the now soggy white haired man, even though it seemed he was suffering from sea sickness. Well she could only guess it was sea sickness from the slight blue tint to his skin..
"Ma'am, what in the world is going on here?" This guy had a very stern voice and spikey orange hair, "I'm going to have to ask you to leave the deck, as this kind of behavior is not acceptable." He lightly grabbed Kamryn by the arm.
"Hey!" Kamryn pulled her arm away, "Who do you think you are?" She stood her ground firmly, "This old pervert was harassing me and my young friend here," She pointed and glared at the man who was now standing at the edge of the pool drying off, "THAT is the kind of behavior that should be unacceptable!"
"I'm not a pervert!" The man yelled back, "I was offering you girls' dinner," He almost had a pout on his face, "And I'm not old either!"
The staff looked calmly over to Olivia, "Is this true? Was this man harassing you?" He questioned her, "Because I know this man and I think it would be awesome if you two went on a date with me and him and left that poor guy over there behind." A grin broke out on his face, making Kamryn's jaw drop.
"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" Kamryn fumed, palming at her face before looking over at Olivia.
Oliva sighed, "I've got this one," all that shyness seemed to dissipate as the brunette moved toward the man and she pushed him hard into the pool. "What perverts." She stated, almost in a monotone, before snatching up her towel and heading off to her room.
"This is so unbelievable! Does your boss know you're doing this? I want to speak to someone higher up!" Kamryn rambled on and on to the orange and white haired men.
As Oliva made her way off the deck, the black haired man trailed after her, "Ma'am, wait a minute."
Olivia turned around swiftly, "What in the world do you want?"
He stepped back from her slightly, "I was just going to apologize for my friends; they can be a bit…" He scratched his head lightly, "eccentric."
She scoffed at his word choice, "Yeah, yeah, whatever." She turned to go back to her room.
"Hold on," He grabbed at her arm, earning himself a glare. "I just-"
At that moment a blinding light engulfed the ship. Olivia pulled her arm away from the man and shielded her face. She tried to look back on the deck for her friend, but couldn't see a thing.
The last thing Olivia could remember was the blinding light and calling out for her friend before everything when dark. Her head pounded as she groggily opened up her eyes. She was propped up against a fallen tree surrounded by forest, the towel she was clutching earlier was draped lightly over her body. She groaned, moving her arm to cover her eyes from the sun that beamed through the tree tops. Her arm felt heavy and it took a great amount of will power just to move it from her side.
"Thank god you're awake!" A blurry human figure moved into Olivia's view. "I was worried you'd never wake up!" Olivia recognized the voice. "Kamryn?" She was barely able to get that out, her throat was dry and scratchy. "You can speak? How's your body?" Kamryn asked frantically, hugging the younger girl. "When I woke up I couldn't move or even make a noise. I'm so glad I found you!"
"I'm okay, I think." Olivia tried to sit up after the blonde let her go. "Where are we?"
Kamryn went silent, gazing off into the forest and letting out a sigh. "I have no idea."
The girls were both breathing heavily as they pushed past low hanging limbs and placed their feet carefully, to avoid foot injury. Oh how they both regretted not having shoes on of some sort on the ship. They had appeared in the forest just as they were when they saw the bright light. They were now trying to figure out where they were.
"Seriously, where are we?" Olivia huffed out. "How in the world did we get into a forest?" Kamryn just shrugged, starting to get irritated by Olivia's repetitive questions. She was focusing all she could on finding food, water, or people.
It was just after sunrise when Kamryn had found Olivia and they had begun their search. They were definitely not dressed for hiking through the thick underbrush of a forest. It was now mid-day and it had rained on them twice already, the air was thick and humid, and frogs and birds could be heard all around.
"Hey, what was that flash?" Olivia stopped, reaching out to put a hand on Kamryn's shoulder. This earned her a loud sigh from the blonde. "It was probably just a bird."
"No, it wasn't like that," Olivia was starting to take offense to Kamryn's irritation, "It was definitely metallic, I'm not dumb."
Kamryn sighed again, "I'm not saying you're dumb, I'm saying you've asked that same question ten times already." Kamryn turned to look at the younger girl, eyebrows knitted together in frustration.
At that moment, two tall dark figures appeared behind Olivia. Kamryn's eyes widened a bit as she looked up at figures behind her friend, "Well….Shit."
Olivia looked at Kamryn in confusion before turning to see what she was looking at. "Wha-..!"
One of the figures spoke, a deep rough voice cutting through the air like a saw.
"Well...what do we have here?"
