Chapter Seven: Saving Charlie

The eight teens and three children walked deeper in the woods, knowing full well of the dangers they may face.

The scratches Cody received still burned him a little, Bailey keep her eye on him.

Zack groaned. "Why did I even decide that we should explore this dumb!? Gosh, I'm an idiot! This place is nothing but trouble! "

Maya teased her boyfriend. "More like you're the trouble, after all, you are the one who told us we should come here."

London frowned. "Yeah." She began to pout. "Now my clothes are ruined, my feet hurt, I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere, and I'm hungry! "

Woody groaned at the thought of food. "Can we just turn back? Cody's already got hurt."

Cody rolled his eyes at Woody's comment. "I'm fine, Woody. Still burns a little, but I'm fine. Plus we did promise Mal we'll get Charlie back."

Mal piped in. "Exactly, you guys did promise. "

Zack sighed as he stopped and turned to Mal. "Promises are sometimes broken, Mallory. Our lives are in danger as well."

Maya laid a hand on her boyfriend's shoulder. "Our lives maybe in danger Zack, but we at least have to try and get Charlie, she gave herself away so her grandfather won't take me, Bailey, London, and Addison away. What if it was me who was taken? Would you give up on me?"

Zack looked at her and shook her head. "No... But, you're still alive, Maya. She's not." He whispered the last part to her.

Bailey spoke up. "So? She still went back to her abusive grandfather for us. She didn't want to, but she did. Now, let's get going. Before it gets dark."

Marcus agreed. "Exactly. We might even find those missing passengers."

Addison jumped. "Come on! The sooner we get there the sooner we can leave this island!"

Back on the Ship

Marion Moseby paced back and forth. A day has passed and his passengers were still missing. He began to worry.

This would not be great for the ship's reputation.

He tried calling Marcus. Nothing.

He moved to Bailey and Cody, surely they'll answer. Still nothing.

He then tried London. She always answered his calls. Still nothing.

He sat down on a stool at the Juice bar.

His wife, Emma Moseby, walked up to him, she laid her hands on his shoulders. "Don't worry too much about it. They'll be back. Remember back when they went missing before? Well, not Addison, Marcus, or Maya, but the rest of them? They came back, they'll come back again. "

Moseby sighed. "How can you be so sure? And it's not just them I'm worried about. I'm worried about the other passengers."

Emma sat down next to her husband. "Knowing them eight, they'll find the other passengers and bring them back."

Moseby still sighed, he knew Emma was only trying to help, but it didn't help.

Back with the gang

Drake hopped off his horse. "Guys." He said, gaining the attention of the others. "I...I can't go further than this."

Bailey looked at the ghost child. "How come, Sweetie?"

Drake looked down. "My mother told me this place was off limits. I, I can't go behind her back."

Bailey looked back at her friends, and the other two ghosts children. She let out a sigh. "Can you handle being by yourself? "

He nodded. "Yeah, I can especially since I got Lance." He pat the horse's neck.

Bailey smiled as she stood back up. " Alright. Make a safe trip back Drake. We'll miss you."

Drake smiled as he mounted his horse again. "I'll miss you guys too." He turned his horse around and trotted back.

Bailey frowned as she made her way back to Cody's side.

Cody wrapped his arm around her waist. "Don't worry, Bails. He'll be fine. I'm actually shocked his still obeys his mother's rules. Unlike someone I know." He said looking at his brother, who stuck out his tongue.

Bailey leaned into her boyfriend's embrace. "I know. But I still feel sorry for him. But he does have that horse of his. "

Cody kissed the side of her head. "Exactly."

Mal tighten her grip on her cat.

Alex watch his dog and Charlie's body language change from playful to aggressive.

Alex spoke up. "Guys, I think we're almost there."

Hey! So I'm sort of coming out of my break. I still might not update in a while, but I'm slowly easing my way back in. I was actually going to update a lot sooner, but one of my dogs was injured, well, not 'injured' but he was hurt, so that held me back as he's my favorite, and my baby. We could've ended up losing him, but luckily we didn't, he's doing a lot better now. Again, I'm still some what on my break as I still want to get my life back on track, but it's better than before. Anyways, I hoped you guys liked this chapter, may not be the best, but whatever, at least I update, right?
