Kendall's POV

We all fell asleep soon after we got to our hotel room. We were all pretty exhausted. I wanted to make sure we all got up early so we can go to one of the beaches or do something fun, so I set an alarm for 6 am.

~Beep Beep Beep~

I shut the alarm off and sit up. There are only two beds in the room, and a couch, for sleeping furniture. Then there is a table and chairs set in the kitchen, a stove, and a fridge. Then there's a bathroom. I got up and headed to go shower before I woke the others up. The water was cool yet warm at the same time. I don't know if that even makes any sense, but it was so soothing. I didn't shower for too long, and I headed back to the room to wake the others up.

"Guys get up; we've got lots to do today." I said kinda loud. James and Logan awoke slowly and sat up.

"I can't wait to hit the beach," James said, heading into the bathroom.

"Me either," Logan replied. We all got changed into our beach clothes and ate breakfast. There was a lot to choose from. They had waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, yogurt, cereal, and so much more. I just grabbed a bagel and some fruit, something I could eat fast and on the way to the beach. James and Logan chose the same. We went out and caught a bus to the pier.

"How much longer?" James asked. He was more like whining.

"We just got on," I said back, laughing. Logan smiled. "Oh, guys remember; when we get there we gotta load up on some sunscreen. I promised my mom we'd play safe in the sun." I held up air quotes around 'safe in the sun.' My mom always worries, sometimes too much. But, I'd rather not have her worry while I'm so far away from home.

"I already put some on," Logan said smiling. He always did what people asked him to do, without argument. Such a goody-goody. My mom actually told me that I could learn from him. Ha!

"We're here!" James shouted, awakening me from my thoughts. He immediately jumped up from his spot on the bus and began packing up his stuff.

"James, at least wait until the bus stops," Logan said. I laughed at the image of James staggering to hold his balance on the still moving bus. Eventually, the bus stopped and left us at the pier. We all stared at the beauty that lied ahead of us. It was amazing. Crystal blue waters, white sandy beach, umbrella pavilions everywhere, yep, we finally arrived in paradise.

"To the beach!" We all yelled in unison. We all ran as fast as we could to the shore, trying to hold to everything we had packed. I'm so glad we came in the morning. There was like nobody here. Ahhh, private beach. I thought to myself. Once we found a good spot to drop our stuff I fished out the sunscreen and put some on. James and Logan were playing catch with a frisbee. I'm so glad they get along as well as they do now. James used to judge him like everyone else did. Now all three of us are best buds. I wish Carlos was here so he could get to know him too. I watched Logan and James play for a little and felt happy inside. Soon after, I joined them. We played three-way catch for a while then we all got tired and hot so we went for a swim.

"Wow, the water feels great!" I said as I entered the water. It was warm and clear, and barely had any seaweed, which is good because that stuff freaks me out when it touches my feet. Logan and James entered the water and displayed the same expression of comfort as I did when I came in.

"Wow, this does feel great," James said.

"It's the warmest beach I've ever been in." Logan added. I agreed with both of them. We swam for hours, playing various swim games like marco polo, volleyball, races, and by late afternoon, other people were here so we got enough people to play chicken.

"Where ya going?" I shouted to Logan, as he got out of the water.

"I'm getting pretty hungry." He shouted back, pointing at one of the pavilions. The smell of burgers and hotdogs were coming from them. I followed him. Come to think of it, we haven't eaten all day. By the time I got to where Logan was the sun was starting to set. I grabbed a hamburger from one of the tables and went back over to Logan.

"Where's James? Is he still in the water?" I asked.

"Nope," Logan laughed. He pointed to a table where a very hungry James sat. He probably had at least twelve hotdogs and a whole plate of potato salad.

"Wow, someone's hungry," I said as I sat down next to him.

"Mhmm," he replied back while spooning some of the salad. I finished my burger and walked back out to the beach. I had to get a picture of this sunset for Carlos. It was beautiful. It made the whole beach look pink and orange. I snapped the picture with my phone and sent it. Carlos replied not too long after.

Aw looks great. Wish I was there. Take more pics! Be careful though, it says storms are on the way.

I dismissed what Carlos said about the storms and took more pics of the beach. I was in too good of a mood to worry about that right now. I took a break from my photography to call my mom and tell her how everything was going. She was a little mad that I didn't call sooner, but she still sounded glad to hear we were all okay and having a great time. I hung up with her to see Logan and James flagging my attention. There were in line for something. I headed over to them.

"What's going on?" I ask, staring at the people in line.

"There's a boat that will take us around the beach and back. Let's go! It's the last trip around because it's getting dark." Logan told me. I got in line with them. The people behind me looked kinda mad but I didn't care. We waited in line for about 15 minutes before the boat arrived.

"Last trip of the night folks, only have room for six!" the boat captain called to us. It was me, James, and Logan in the front of the line, so at least we were guaranteed a spot. The rest of the people in line must have all came together because they all decided not to go. Sweet. Just the three of us on a boat travelling across the Caribbean Sea. We boarded the boat and the captain, who I learned was named Zachary, gave us life jackets.

"Alright, here's what's going down. We go around the beach one time only, no stops. Keep your hands and feet inside the boat at all times. If you take pictures, I am not responsible for any damage caused to your devices. Are we clear?" Captain Zachary said. Something about him gives me the creeps. He was a tall man, about maybe 30 years old, short dark black hair, thin, and not really muscular. He had a mustache and beard combo and wore dark green sunglasses.

"Um, how long is this trip?" I ask.

"No time for questions. Sit down now, and we'll take off." Captain Zachary turned around and went to his quarters.

"Uhh, does anyone else get the creeps from that guy?" I ask. The others just shrug their shoulders.

"I thought he was kind of nice," Logan said. I looked at him.

"Same here," James said. I looked at him too. Was it just me? The boat started and we were moving.

"Woo!" Logan said. Suddenly the boat picked up its speed. James and Logan both looked so happy and excited. I don't want to ruin their fun, so I kept my uneasiness to myself. Maybe I was just being paranoid. After a while I noticed that I couldn't see the shore anymore.

"Uhh, do you guys think we're a little too far out?" I ask, not caring if I ruin their fun anymore.

"Relax Kendall. He said we going around the beach." James said, still enjoying the ride.

"Yeah, but, we can't even see the beach anymore," I said pointing to where I last remember the shore being. Logan and James stared in that direction.

"What if Kendall's right James?" Logan asked. He looked a lot more worried now.

"Will you guys quit worrying?" James asked. "Do you really think the Caribbean would allow a random guy to just give boat rides without a permit? I'm sure this guy is legit." James said. I guess what he said made sense, but I was still worried. Suddenly the boat stopped, and Captain Zachary came out and sat with us.

"Are you boys having a good time?" He asked.

"Yeah," James and Logan cheered. I just nodded my head.

"So what brings you all out here?" he asked.

"Kendall won a contest and the prize was a trip out here for three," Logan said. I was a little mad that he told him that, but obviously Logan trusted this guy.

"Wow, that's a pretty awesome prize. How long are you guys here for?" Captain Zachary asked.

"Two weeks, and we just got here today," James told him. I pretty much just gave up on talking.

"Oh, well it's a shame that it has to end on the first day," We all looked pretty confused by that comment.

"Huh?" Logan asked. Before I had time to even question it; I realized that my suspicions were all true. Captain Zachary shot up from his seat and jumped on Logan. The boat rocked back and forth as James and I tried to pry him off of him.

"Get off of him you jerk," I heard James say. Finally we pull Captain Zachary off of Logan. His life jacket was pulled off in the process.

"Dude, what the hell is your problem?" I ask. He didn't answer. I waited for a response and was about to ask my question again until I felt his fist connect with my jaw. I flipped over the side of the boat and landed in the water. Thankfully, I still had my life jacket on. I'm a good swimmer, but not in water this deep.

"Kendall!" I heard James yell. As two pairs of hands tried to grab on to me the boat sped off, leaving me in the darkness of the Caribbean night alone.

Logan's POV

"Kendall!" I shouted as the boat sped off. I tried to jump off but James held me tightly.

"Logan, no! You don't have a life jacket." James yelled at me. "Kendall! Try to swim to shore!" I couldn't even see Kendall anymore. We were travelling too fast. Just then Captain Zachary reappeared.

"Who's driving the boat?!" James yelled frantically. He didn't say anything, but pushed James off too. I ran over to try to grab James but was knocked off my feet by the increasing speed of the boat. Why was he doing this to us? What did we do? The boat didn't slow down for a while but when it did, I was almost ready to just do the guy a favor and jump off myself. Captain Zachary came to me.

"Why are you doing this to us?" I asked. He just came closer to me. "Please don't hurt me," I pleaded. I was in tears by now. He didn't say anything, but instead he picked me up and threw me overboard. I sunk like a rock and didn't resurface. I tried to swim back to the top but I kept sinking. I started to panic as I was losing my breath. I tried one final time and successfully got my head out of the water. I gasped for air. Once I collected myself I looked around and saw nothing. Absolutely nothing. I was surrounded by only the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea.

Kendall's POV

I waded in the water for what seemed like four days, but was probably only a couple minutes. I hope the captain wasn't hurting James and Logan. My jaw hurt so badly. So many things were going through my mind right now, it wasn't even funny. I was pulled out of my thoughts by the sound of someone calling my name. It was very faint, I could barely hear it. But I did. It was James. I couldn't see him though.

"James! Where are you?" I shouted.

"Kendall!" I heard again. James couldn't hear me. Wherever he is, I hope he's okay.

"Kendall!" I hear again. I try to call his name again.

"James!" I yell.

"Kendall!" I heard my name much louder this time. Soon enough I can see a person bobbing up and down in the water toward me. It was James, thankfully, but my heart sank when I only saw him coming toward me.

"Kendall! Oh my God, I'm so glad you're okay." James said as he approached me.

"Where's Logan?" I asked him. He just shook his head.

"You left him on the boat with that psycho?!" I yelled.

"No, Kendall. He pushed me, and I fell off." He said to me.

"So, Logan is with him, all alone?" I started to choke up a little at the end of my sentence.

"Don't worry Kendall, we'll get him back. I'm sure he's okay. And Captain Zachary will get what's coming for him."

How was that? So, now that I'm home, I hope to get back into my regular schedule of updating almost every day. Sorry it took so long for this one! What did you guys think? Why did Captain Zachary do this?
