1 MONTH LATER:
Fern and her parents were going on a ship cruise.
"It's really beautiful out here," said Fern as she gazed into the moonlight. "It's too bad that I don't have any friends to be with me,"
"Cheer up," said her father, "As much as we are still sad about their losses, look at the bright side. There will be new friends when you go to university,"
"I don't know," said Fern, "I'm a little scared,"
"Don't be," said her mother, "You'll be able to find anyone if you need anything. And you can always Skype us when you are lonely or scared,"
"Alright," said Fern, "I'm just sad that they had to go,"
"I know,"
Fern continued to walk around the ship as it sailed across the sea. It was not long before it was just the sea only and not a speck of land seen in sight.
Fern continued walking about the ship until she heard something crackle from inside the ship. She looked up and gasped. She turned around, only to notice that the noise became louder and louder.
"We're having a technical malfunction! The boat won't stop! Everybody out!"
Fern gasped in horror and turned to look for her parents. But before she did, she bumped into someone.
"I told you," he said with a smirk. Fern looked up and gasped. It was Rattles.
"I told you," he said again, "Don't trust anyone or anything. Not even your family or friends. Then you might live,"
"Live?" screamed Fern, "What the fuck are you supposed to be doing in this situation? Huh? Can you answer me that? Are you out of your mind? Are you some psychologist or something? If you seriously think you can live in this crisis then jump off the boat now!"
That was when a storm raged. Rain fell down, and some more as the roof started to flood that it was impossible to walk. The wind blew Fern away, and pushed her off the ship, landing her in the deep cold dark sea below. Fern waded, trying to stay alive.
"HELP ME!" she screamed. "HELP ME!"
Rattles only smiled, until another gust of wind blew him off.
"Fern! Fern! Are you okay?" asked her mother shaking her.
Fern saw Rattles walking past by again, when they heard thunder and saw some lightning.
"Shit…." muttered Fern, "Not again…."
