Rikki Chadwick awoke with a sudden start. She felt a jolt, after another jolt, and she was shoved against a wall. Wherever she was was very bumpy. Again, she was thrust against something, but in a different direction this time. Rikki felt a pain shoot up her back, and groaned to herself. 'I wish I wasn't here right now' she muttered to herself, under her breath.

As she got used to the rockiness of the floor, she started to take in her surroundings. She heard a splash and realized that she was on a boat. As the water eventually became still again, she heard voices. Rikki crawled over to where the voices were coming from, and eavesdropped on their conversation.

'What do we do with the girl?' they asked each other quietly. 'Strand her?' one suggested. And then, an even more dreadful one; 'Or kill her!' another said, gleefully. Rikki slumped onto the floor, sighing heavily, desperately trying to come up with a plan, trying not to face up to the fact that she may never see Zane,Cleo,Bella,or Emma ever again. She sat there for hours, tears cascading down her face like a waterfall. Just then, one of her captors came in with a dirty glass of stale water.

Rikki looked at him extremely warily, her heart pounding like a drum. As he paced towards her, she shuffled back, terrified at the mere thought of what he could do to her next. His face was like a dagger, and his hands gnarled and nasty. He banged the glass down onto the floor, therefore resulting in water sprinkling onto Rikki's body. Well, it would have done if Rikki hadn't seen it coming and moved out of the way beforehand. He then left, stomping out of Rikki's prison, a scowl on his face. Rikki breathed a sigh of relief that her secret hadn't been exposed...for now, at least.
