I looked out across the blue waters with doubt of ever escaping this place. My heart raced as I realized there was no way out. How are we to survive if there is no way out? I shuddered as a cool breeze swept past me face; creating a slight wind burn. I heard Carlos moan uncomfortably in my arms with a mini sob. I hug him tightly and take a soft gulp, full of fright, doubt, and pain. James stood next to me and his mouth was slightly ajar. I could read his face; he was in shock. Tatyana stood in front of us and turned to face us.

"I don't think this will be easy." She trembled slightly as she spoke. Tati looked us right in the eye as she stated the truth. It wont be easy leaving. "K-Kendall." I heard Carlos whisper. I look down at him and his eyes are open slight. "What is it?...What is going…..on?...ow." Carlos closed his eyes again before speaking those words. "I don't know." I admitted. "Where is…..Logan?" he looked at me with his big brown eyes. "He is inside. Get some rest. He'll be ok." I said in a shushed tone. Carlos nods merely before falling into a restless sleep. Tatyana walked up to us. James had his eyes on Carlos who started coughing tremendously. Tati stared at the boy in my arms with a frown. She ran her hand through the teen's black hair with a sigh.

I frown and continue to stare at the open sea. There was no land in sight. All was blue; cloudless skies. "We need to get off of this boat…with Logan and Carlos." James's voice was shaken and doubtful. "But how? I don't see a way out…or off….but that doesn't matter at this point. We need to care for Carlos….and get those men away from Logan." I looked at James with saddened eyes. "Right now I don't think we'll be leaving this boat soon. Look for a dingy or something floatable." Tati said in her high-strict voice. "Why can't we just push those men over board?" James questioned stupidly. "Have you seen the size of them James? I mean seriously! We're on a boat in, maybe, the middle of the Pacific Ocean! And they're bigger than it all combined! Think more clearly!" I growled at the taller boy. He shrunk back in fright at my rising attitude.

"Hey! Coping attitude won't do us any good, Kendall!" Tati pointed her index finger angrily in my direction. I grunted silently, turning towards the stairs. I freeze when I see something walking up the steps. The shape got into sight and I noticed it was one of those men. "Hey there fellas." He said in a wasted way. James jumped at the voice and turned to see the man standing right behind him. He yelped, ran, and hid behind Tatyana who stood there staring at the man with wonder. "Leave us alone." I said in a protective voice.

"Why? Don't you want to have fun with us? And Logan?" The guy flashed a grin at me. I felt myself shake slightly at the way he said my best friend's name. "Let him go." Tati stepped forward; loud growl rumbling in her throat. "Nahh. We love having fun with him. There is no since in gettin' rid of him sooo easily." The man stepped a foot towards us. I took a step forward in a perfect sign of defense posture showing my dominance in the group.

James walked slowly to my side to try to show dominance as well….but he failed when his body trembled fiercely. I looked at James who a blank face on, except his eyes had shown pain and fear. "Take Carlos." I whisper to the taller boy. He nods and I hand Carlos to him. Tatyana walk to my other side and had her war face on that was really creepy. "I don't think you want a bloody mess on your deck so I'll tell you once again. Let. Our. Friend. Go!" Tati showed pure anger in her facial features and voice.

"No problem…just as long as you do as we say…..you'll be leave unharmed with your little Logan…," The guy trailed off looking at the ground. Then his eyes flickered to Tati. "….Unless you try to escape. You'll die slowly….and agonizingly." The man smiled evilly. I thought for a moment, inhaled, and questioned the man. "What things?" I asked looking at the man. The stranger smiled before moving his hand for us to fallow. I sigh before I started waling forward. Tati placed her hand on my shoulder making me stop walking. "Are you stupid? You don't listen to a stranger Kendall! He could do us harmed and I don't think any of us would appreciate that!" Tati hissed. "Just fallow me. I have an idea." I breathed out before walking again.

James walked to Tati's side. "We'll just see what they're planning for us….but I think Kendall's plan with work out better…..even tho we don't know what it is." He spoke fluently looking into the Latina's eyes.

I must of lost my mind. I had no intention of doing what they wanted us to do for them. I just want Logan safe. All I wanted was to be at home with Mom and Katie all happy and secure with my friends ok and untouched. But I'm not. I'm on a large boat surrounded by crazies and one of my best friends is being tortured by total strangers non of us know. We were kidnapped and beaten. Carlos is injured badly and now I bet we'll loose our only innocents if we stay here any longer. That's why I came up with some sort of idea that could help us escape. Since the men were obviously wasted we could as a favor of them. Most likely all of them would leave us in the room alone after so we'd be able to get out from there since Tati still has the keys to almost EVERY room on this cruise ship, my best guess. It'd have to work…..unless my touch in finding ways out runs away.

We walked down the hall past the room Logan was in. Instead the man led us to an open room with many windows and blankets and stuff on the ground. I arch an eyebrow but I start to figure things out. "Make yourselves at home…I'll be riiiight back." The man smiled before hurrying out the door and closing it behind him. James walked up to one of the large plushy blanket and settled Carlos on it.

"So what now genius?" Tatyana crossed her arms. "I know they'll bring Logan in here. Once he is away from them, we grab him and run towards that dingy thing." I smile while taking a seat on one of the near by chairs. "Hey this looks like one of those cabins that had on the Titanic…..the lowest class." James observed looking around at the room.

I looked around and noticed he was right. I did a report on the Titanic when I was in the 6th grade on only the third class. That was where the poorest were. Not to mention they were locked up when the Titanic started to sink into the Atlantic Ocean. There were a few beds in the corners…..3 to be exact. But they weren't organized…that's why all the blankets and crap is on the floor.

Tatyana sighed before walking over to Carlos and James and taking a seat next to Carlos who laid silently on the softness of a blanket. Carlos opened is eyes a little and yawned. All of our eyes shoot to the teenage Latino that was slowly waking up from his restless sleep. He opened his eyes wider.

"Where are we?" Was the only thing that was said for a while.
