And moving right along….. Thanks for the reviews, let see how much trouble they can get into.

Chapter Three: The Island

He watched them as they got off the boat, he watched as they had their little conversation and he watched as they made their way down the beach hand in hand. It slightly sickened him. Human emotions were something he never understood. It made you weak and he now had something to work with. It had been a stroke of luck that he had found their boat in the little cove. He knew he had been close he just wasn't sure how close but he was smiling on his good fortune. He waited as the other two occupants from the boat, a boy and his father, left and wondered in the opposite direction. He took this opportunity to get on board. He needed to look around, see what he could find. He needed to complete his mission and then it would all end. After he did a quick search of the galley, the cabin, and eventually the sleeping quarters and he found nothing. So then he decided to follow them back down the beach.

Lily's POV

She had to admit she was starting to really enjoy this island. It was absolutely beautiful. They had been walking a little while down the beach when they had decided to go inland a little bit. Some of the jungle area was a bit dense and they had to back track in a few places but after a little while they could hear the unmistakable rush of a waterfall. They traveled a bit farther and they came to a clearing and the waterfall. It was a narrow one, not very big but gently fell into a shallow pool below cascading over big rocks at the bottom. It created a stream that disappeared into the jungle beyond.

"That is impressive." She said to Aaron unable to take her eyes from it.

"Well, I aim to please." She looked up at him and noticed his eyes were focused somewhere out in the jungle, his eyes slightly narrowed and he tightened the grip on her hand. "Aaron what is it?" She asked him as she looked out to where he was looking but didn't see anything. He turned to look at her and whispered in her ear.

"I didn't want to worry you but we are being watched."

"Who would be watching us? Another assassin?" He gripped he arm and said

"Just follow my lead and do what I say." She nodded her head and he led her back into the jungle, circling around to were their spy should be. Aaron led her to the river and down under an embankment.

"Listen, you need to stay here. Don't move until I come for you and if you do need to leave stay in the river. You can't be tracked there. I'll only be a minute." He went to leave but she grabbed his arm.

"Aaron, please be careful and come back." He kissed her then before he released her.

"I'll be safe." And with that he was was maybe five minutes, the longest five minutes ever when she heard a gunshot close by and the rustling of the trees above her. Then she heard a voice that sent chills running through her. It was a voice she never thought she would hear again.

"Come out little girl. Your friend is dead and now I've come for you. You can't hide out here forever. I know how to find you Cherie." He sounded so different, cold and calculating. No feeling what so ever but taunting. She put her hand over her mouth to keep from crying out. She didn't believe for one minute that Aaron was dead but she also knew she couldn't stay put.

"Come out kitten, I just want what you took." He kept calling out to her and he moved down stream. She took this moment to run the opposite direction, up stream. She moved a quietly and quickly as she could. She moved to the middle of the stream with water up to her chest and was fighting against the current until she made her way to the small pool at the bottom of the waterfall. She hoped that she would find what she was looking for when she pulled herself up on the rocks. When she found the opening she was looking for she pulled herself up into the mouth of the small cave that was behind the falls. It was cold and damp but she could see the whole area in front of her. She noticed movement in the trees and shrunk back further into the cave using her hands as a guide. That was when a hand came around her mouth and an arm around her waist, pulling her into the cave more.
