Welcome back! I put this one up fairly fast. I may be spewing out quite a few chapters this entire weekend because I have a lot of free time. I hope that keeps you interested and wanting more. I hope you don't mind the point of view. I figured it'd help you put yourself in Kitty's position rather than speculating her life from afar. I know that I personally like to imagine myself in certain stories rather than the actual character and I certainly don't mind if that's what you want to do too. That's exactly why I did it. Hell, read it with your name instead of her name, that's what I love to hear about; People connecting. Also, sorry if the format of everything is different from the first, I'm trying to get down something I like. I also want to note that I updated the last chapter with the character Vincent who I had no idea even had a name or even accompanied the group before their travels. Lastly, please leave a review telling me if you like the story so far, if you have any questions, or anything else you care to share. Enjoy!

I'm on my way to shit my pants in the sky, just as if I were a bird! I wrote as we drove to the airport to catch our plane for skydiving.

This is it, there was no turning back now. At least that's what I was telling myself so I wouldn't chicken out. I could feel my body begin to shake as I imagined jumping from the plane thousands of feet above ground.

"It'll be fun. You can hold my hand if you want on the way down" Keith laughed, clearly noticing how nervous I was. I rolled my eyes and gave him the finger, "alright, sure. I'll also pull my parachute next to you so we get tangled up and crash to the ground" I said as a way to turn him off of that idea jokingly. He just smiled and patted my knee.

Soon enough, we were there. It felt like forever just driving and picturing all of us jumping out of the plane that was now parked in front of us.

We all got in and put our suits on before listening to what we had to do by a professional instructor. That helped ease the nerves just for a moment but couldn't take them away as I'm not falling to the ground just yet.

"I wonder what this island is going to be like" I asked out loud to anyone who was listening.

"It's going to be free" Daisy said in between a smile.

The plane started up and before we knew it, we were taking off into the air. I looked out of the small window I was next to and could see the passing small buildings and then the ocean.

"They say you shouldn't look down" I heard Jason mention. I smiled and nodded my head, "that is true. Luckily it's just the ocean."

"What do you mean 'luckily'?" he laughed.

"I'd rather jump off into the ocean than where there was land" I stated with a smirk, "well..only as long as there is land nearby. I don't want to be shark food."

"You're still that weird hot girl I grew up with" Jason winked and laughed at his own comment. I could see in Liza's eyes that it bothered her but she held it back. I wonder if she could see how much it bothered me too.

Hot girl? I thought, so I was just that hot girl he wanted to be able to say he fucked.

"Jason, you're so disrespectful" I said as my mood shifted from happy to irritated.

I hated that I let the past get to me still, after all of these years. Most of all I hated that he could still get to me at all. He was with Liza, I wish he would respect that too. I love them both and want them to be happy, he's just screwing it up one thing at a time.

He ignored what I said and I turned to look out the window once more.

"Holy shit, we're here" I said as I saw the island. It was big but not huge. There were actually two islands adjacent to one another with a few greatly smaller ones surrounding them. They were covered heavily in green, with a few openings for visible towns or other structures.

"Alright guys, get ready to jump" our instructor said, barely giving us time to look at our destination, as he got up and opened the side door of the plane. Jason got out his phone and started to record as one by one we started to jump out.

It was my turn and I slowly walked to the edge and felt an electric pulse go through my body from my chest to my feet.

"It's now or never" I closed my eyes and leaped out into the sky, heart jumping right into my throat as I opened my eyes to see the view. This was the greatest experience of my life. The scariest, but also the greatest. And the best news of all is that I didn't even shit my pants on the way down.

I opened my parachute and landed roughly to the ground. That actually had to be the worst part.

I looked around and saw Daisy not too far away from me and ran to help her.

"That was absolutely nuts!" I yelled, putting out my hand for Daisy to grab. I helped her up, "I know! I need some alcohol after this one!" I couldn't deny that I agreed with that one.

We met up with the rest of the group and just settled on the island for a bit.

"Who wants Sambuca shots!?" Jason yelled as he pulled a bottle from his backpack.

"Hell yes!" I got up from the sand and ran over, followed by the rest.

He poured us all a shot glass and we took a toast to the island, "to being free on this beautiful island and to my brother Riley for getting his pilot's license!" Jason said and we cheered for both Riley's success and being on this truly beautiful island.

"To my father's black card, to my black card!" Oliver yelled and we cheered and took our shots.

I know I wasn't extremely weak to alcohol but after I took that shot I could swear I saw a black figure when I looked into the jungle that was a ways back. I pushed it to the back of my mind because it could have been anything, especially from this far away.

The sun was high and the boys had testosterone to burn as it was still early in the day. They decided to go off and ride jet skis and us ladies stayed to bathe in the sun.

I had combat boots and black cotton leggings on with a tight black wife beater on over a black lace thong and bra. We all packed our bathing suits but decided to just lay in our underwear instead.

It was quiet for a while as we lay in the boiling sun.

"Hey Liza, what's the deal with you and Jason?" Daisy asked and my ears perked up. I heard Liza just sigh. I lifted my head and leaned against my elbows as the others did too.

"He's just..so immature. It gets in the way. I work hard and he just parties his life away. I'm not sure if I want that right now, or ever. I love him, I really do, I want things to be serious" Liza explained.

"Give it time, I'm sure he will ease down eventually. He's young still, you know how guys are after college. He's a good guy under that, and I know you know that already" I put my hand on hers, "and, I know he loves you just as much."

She smiled, "yeah, thanks."

"What about you, Daisy? You and Grant going to get married?" I joked and elongated the word "married". Little did she know that I knew a little secret that Grant was going to propose to her sometime during the trip.

She rolled her eyes and smiled, "I would like to. It's every girl's dream and every guy's nightmare apparently."

"Oh yeah!" I agreed.

"How about you, Kitty? What's the deal? I haven't heard you speak of anyone in a while" Liza asked, making me remember what I did just last night.

I rolled my eyes and sighed, "ugh," I rolled on my back and put my arm over my eyes, "I almost hooked up with Keith last night."

"What!?" they both exclaimed and I moaned in embarrassment and tried to hide more.

"It was a mistake, stop making feel horrible," I laughed.

"What does almost mean?" Liza poked at my side.

"Ugh! it means almost. Nothing happened. I stopped myself." I let my arm drop from my face, "I did sleep with him though, in my bed. That's about it. Other than all of that, I am still a single girl."

By this time, the boys came back. And with food!

"Damn, if I knew you were all going to be in your underwear, I would have stayed too," Oliver said, Jason nudged him in the side and he laughed.

Me and the girls put our clothes back on and joined the eating.

I heard rustling in the nearby bushes and trees and looked. A bunch of men came out, dressed in various red items. They had guns and weapons holstered to their backs and in their hands too.

My eyes went wide, "guys." Everyone looked and we all stood up. The men ran to us and grabbed us faster than we could even react.

"What the fuck? Get off of me!" I yelled as a man with a red bandana around his face violently grabbed me by the arms.

I saw a man that stood out from the rest, he seemed to be running this group of men. He had a short, black mohawk and a scar on the left side of his skull that reached from the middle of his mohawk to just a bit over his eyebrow.

I couldn't get more of a look as the man who held me smashed the back end of his gun into my face. The world went blurry, my friends slowly faded from me along with reality.

I woke up to darkness all around me. I had something covering my view. I felt enormous pain shoot to my wrists as I tried to move them. They were tied with a rough rope, above my head. I groaned from the headache I had from being smashed with the gun and I felt the thing over my head lift off. I was face to face with the mohawk man.

"Sorry, hermana, it's not time for you to be awake yet," and like that I was hit once again with the back of a gun and knocked out cold.
