Chapter 2:

Can a person go blind from rolling their eyes too much?

If it is possible then Rachel would have turned blind at least fifteen minutes ago.

She knew Quinn could be bossy and over bearing at times, she knew Quinn could rant longer than she ever could if she wanted to.
But what she didn't know was that Quinn could rant, be bossy, panicked and pretty….wait, what? No, scratch that….for now, and almost nonsensical and not incredibly poised when she was over worried about something.

Rachel sighed as she leaned her head against the palm of her hand as she was sat on the sand, knees to her chest and watching Quinn pacing and muttering to herself.

"Oh god, what am I going to do? I mean, I'm stuck here, I'm stuck, survival, what? What if we're stuck here forever? Oh god," Quinn just continued on the same pattern over and over again.

Rachel let out a sigh again and rolled her eyes, "You know, if you want to survive you're going to have to stop doing what you're doing and go find water, I'm sure you're as thirsty as I am and probably just as hungry,"

Quinn stopped pacing and glared over at her.

"It's true, and we need to find out if this island is sustainable, we need a water source, food source, shelter, we need to make sure there is nothing dangerous here," she finished.

"And I suppose YOU would know all about this?" Quinn said in an angry tone.

"As a matter of fact, yes, I used to be a girl scout,"

"Like I believe you,"

"I don't care whether you believe me or not Quinn, but we're going to have to work together to survive here,"

"What is this? Loser Survival Castaway?"

"Are you trying to be funny?"

"No, I was being sarcastic,"

"Look Quinn, I know we've had our differences, but we have to survive together okay, we don't know how long we're going to be here, so stop pacing and lets go find a water source, I'm about to die of thirst here,"

"You'd certainly be helping me out, I wouldn't have to look at you,"

Rachel just winced, "Let's just go Quinn, I thought I saw a small river about ten minutes to that way,"

Quinn just watched as Rachel got up and began walking away from her.

On the inside she felt panicked again and ran after the brunette, "Wait up," she yelled as Rachel slowed and waited for Quinn to catch up.


The two walked for about ten minutes, and sure enough, there as a small river running out towards the ocean.

"Okay, well, if we go inward, the water should hopefully get wider and give us more room to drink, but we don't want to stay too long, the closer we are to water, the bigger the animals get," Rachel said.

"Did you just quote Jurassic Park III?" Quinn asked.

"Yes, but it's also true, c'mon, let's go,"

Quinn groaned as the two walked a bit inland, Rachel took in her surroundings, Quinn tried to tread carefully.

When they reached a spot, Rachel dropped to her knees quickly and drank the water, slowly mind you, because she didn't want to damage her lungs or hurt her throat, Quinn followed suit.

"So, what now?" Quinn asked when they were done.

"I don't know, we should look for food and shelter I guess," Rachel said.

"You guess?"

"Yeah, while walking around this island I haven't seen or heard any type of animal that could be too dangerous,"

"We don't know that though,"

"I know, but for now, I don't see or hear anything,"

Unknown to Rachel, a large figure was swimming towards her and Quinn.

"Oh my god, what is that?" Quinn asked as Rachel turned, shrieked and jumped away, pulling Quinn along with her.

The animal in the water thrashed a bit as it tried to get a look at them before swimming away.

"What the hell was that?" Quinn asked in shock.

"Bull Shark, guess we'll have to careful when drinking water then, well, that's dangerous creature number one,"

"A shark? In fresh water?"

"Bull sharks can go into fresh water when they want to, actually they were the reason behind the attacks on swimmers in the Mississippi River in the 1900s, forgot which year exactly, there are also River sharks, but I doubt there'd be any here,"

"Great, sharks, yay, what's next? A cougar?"

"I hope not, we'd be dead within a week," Rachel said as she started walking off.

"A week, great, survival of the fittest and I'm stuck with you for potentially a week,"

"At the moment its survival of the annoying and you're leading Quinn," Rachel yelled back as she started moving towards higher ground.

"Shut up and hey, wait for me," Quinn said as she started dashing after Rachel.


Neither girl knew how long they had been trekking, all they knew was that they were still hungry and tired. At least luck seemed to be on their side, Rachel managed to spot a cave with a small ledge not too far away.

"Look a cave we can rest there for the night," she said as she climbed up into it, "It looks empty and perfectly safe, if any animal tries to get in, they'd actually have to climb up, c'mon Quinn,"

"God I'm so hungry," Quinn said as her stomach grumbled.

Rachel scanned the area but couldn't see anything.

"I can't see anything to eat Quinn," she said, "And I'm exhausted, maybe we'll feel better in the morning,"

"Is it safe to do that? I mean think about it, we got to sleep on an empty stomach, we won't function in the morning," Quinn stated.

"I guess you're right,"

"Guess we should head back down then, at least we know where this is, lets mark the area so we can come back later,"

"You seem poised all of a sudden,"

"I'm human, I'm allowed to freak out, but you of all people know that once I'm poised again, I can plan things,"

"No kidding,"

"Hey look, we're at luck again, I see bananas,"

"You don't think there'll be rabid monkeys around do you?"

"Do I look like I care? They are ripe enough, let's just grab some and go back to the cave to eat,"

"What about supplies?"

"Can we worry about becoming all Robinson Crusoe later? I thought you were tired,"

"I am,"

The two girls grabbed a few bananas before making their way up to the cave to eat and rest.

"We should take turns watching," Rachel suggested.

"You're first then," Quinn said.

"Fine,"

"Don't fall asleep Berry, I mean it,"

"Okay,"

With that Quinn lay down and started to sleep as the exhaustion finally hit her.

Rachel fought to stay awake before succumbing to sleep herself.


The next time she opened her eyes she realised it was morning and Quinn was staring at her with a very, very, angry look.

"Uh, good morning Quinn," she started.

"You, Fell, ASLEEP BERRY!" Quinn yelled.

"Oops,"
