I feel like I have to apologize….but I'm not going to, yah I haven't updated, but I'm not going to use my brother getting into a car accident as an excuse, I'm using I just didn't feel like writing as an excuse.

Speaking of the accident he's fine…physically, not mentally….there is seriously something fucking wrong with that boy. He ran into a tree when no other cars were in the intersection…..A FUCKING TREE!!!!

This is chapter ten of thirteen in the actual story. I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed last chapter, it's always nice to read them, and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Also if you could do me a big favor and check out my new stories, From Point A to Point B and Final Destination: Love Hurts.

Point A to B is a Twilight story, (hold your groans or glee) but I don't think it's your typical Twilight story. For one thing I'm not obsessed with any of the Twilight men or Twilight in general so I don't think it will ever be a mushy romance thing, but just how my OC would interact and change up the story if they were there from the beginning.

Want to know a secret though…..I've never read a Twilight book…..never! So if you would like to read a take on it then check it out. (I have enough understanding and knowledge about Twilight though)

And if you don't like Twilight try telling someone who might be interested. It would mean a lot to me.

I also have a Final Destination story titled Final Destination: Love Hurts, which is basically how I would like one of those stories to go.

Both stories are in development with just 1 chapter posted, but I really wanted to focus on finishing this before I move too far with them.

Chapter Warnings: Death (obviously) and language

NOTE: Since I didn't want to have a short chapter, to lengthen and give you guys some more material; I'll be giving some background information and insight on the majority of the characters, in the form of first person flashbacks, dreams or memories. (I wanted to do a lot more then I actually did, but the chapter would have been really long, so I'll be saving them for next chapter.)

This will probably be the only chapter that is told like this.

Abby POV

I continued to stare out at the beautiful scene before me. I loved how the sun was reflecting off of the water and how Jimmy's arm was a perfect fit around my waist.

It was so perfect, like all the pieces coming together from one huge gigantic puzzle. However I felt something off, like I still had one piece in my hand and now I needed to look around the massive table to find where it fit.

My eyes widened and I felt my heart rate increase as my metaphoric table began to grow vast distances in front of me. The sun, water, and even Jimmy vanished as everything around me began to void itself of its color and the images began to blur in front of me, smearing into a gray blob.

I took a few steps back, as the blob began to contort and shape itself into the form of a…forest?

I felt my feet walk forward on their own, I slowly reached out my right hand and began to graze the puzzle, feeling the smooth plastic and soft cardboard material under my fingertips. I paused when my index finger dipped down into a small hole in the image.

I moved my hand away to inspect the cause, and the culprit was a vacant space, missing its own piece. It was then that I realized that I was holding something in my left hand. I opened my hand to find a lone puzzle piece resting in my palm. I picked the piece up and held it in front of my eye and after looking it over began to move it forward to where it belonged.

I hesitantly placed the piece in, not knowing what the effect or outcome would be. There was a slight chime and a glow of yellow light as the piece sank in, causing all the lines and molds to vanish as the image of the forest came to life and the sounds and smells surrounded me.

What surprised me however, was the low amount of sound, there was the occasional bird chirp and rustle of leaves, but that was it, nothing else. I looked around, but everything was the same in every single direction. I was standing in a small dirt circle, and every direction had the same looking path. That was until I saw the path that had a lone bunny rabbit.

I peered at the rabbit and its gray fur. I smiled at its twitching nose and tiny feet, and before I knew it, those tiny feet were carrying it away. I don't know why, but I started to chase after it, "WAIT!" I called, but knew it was useless; it was a rabbit after all.

I ran after the tiny gray ball of fluff as it continued to hop through the forest; I was unaware of any of my surroundings at this point. I stopped dead in my tracks when the rabbit stopped and turned back around. Its eyes were now a deep black and it seemed to be frowning.

What bothered me the most though, was that it was standing in a pool of crimson blood. I don't know how long I stared but my concentration was finally broken when a drop of blood fell from above into the pool. I dared to look up and was met with one of the most haunting scenes in my entire life.

Nikki, Shane, Trish, Danny, Sully, Madison, Shea, Dad, Mom…..everyone, all of them hanging from trees by their necks. Various parts of their bodies slashed and chopped, blood pouring from their wounds.

I heard a small giggle and looked back down at the rabbit, "What…." However before I could continue my jaw dropped further when an arm sprang from the pool of blood and grabbed the rabbit by the neck. "It's time to go Abby" the rabbit told me, before it's neck was snapped and it was dragged under the pool of blood.

I fell to the floor in horror and disgust before I looked up again. Everyone's eyes opened and they started a silent chant that grew, more rapid, louder, and stronger. "it's time to go Abby….It's Time To Go Abby....IT'S TIME TO GO ABBY!!!!!!!"

I let out a scream and sprang to me feet, I was about to turn around and run, when I plowed into someone, ending my run before it began. I looked up to see John Wakefield holding….Jimmy's bloody head. I could feel the tears stream down my face as I looked at Jimmy, but I let out a whimper and crawled backwards, as his eyes and mouth opened. "It's time to go Abby," he said in a whisper.

I woke from my dream with a gasp. I looked around me to find myself back on the cliff with Jimmy. He was looking down at me strangely, but who wouldn't. Who knows what I could have said while I was dreaming. "You alright babe?" he asked me.

"Yah….I'm fine," I lied. I laid my back down onto the soft grass and closed my eyes, trying dearly to process what this dream had meant, or was trying to warn me of, while at the same time trying so desperately to calm myself.

Jimmy POV

Oh god, my heart was thumping, my forehead wet with sweat and my hands were shaking. In cases like this I would turn to Shane to ask him what I should do, but he wasn't here anymore. I bit my lip in hopes to stop the trembling, but for some reason I couldn't control myself.

"Calm down, there is nothing afraid of," I told myself. I couldn't get calm or relaxed though, and it didn't help the restraints I was in either. I began to wring my hands, and I even think I might have been holding my breath as I waited.

However soon everything was hushed and I straightened when the music began to play. I turned to see my future wife begin to walk down the aisle. All my previous worries vanished when I saw her smile. Abby was so happy, as was I, I was so happy that we had finally started to move away from our past, and to try and start living again.

She looked absolutely breathtaking in her dress, it had been her mothers, and she was so excited to wear it. It was one of the purest most genuine smiles I had seen from her in a while. She was grinning from ear to ear and I would be lying if I said I wasn't doing the same.

Abby stepped up and joined me and the pastor, "This is it," I thought, "We'll soon be together forever…no matter what. We'll get a nice house, get a puppy, or even a cat if I have to, and soon we'll have some children to be cry, scream, and bounce around our home, a real family who'll always be there for each other."

I had come back to reality at the best time as I was instructed to start reciting my vows to Abby. This had been one thing that I had been stressing, but in that four minutes I was never more confident in my life. I saw Abby's eyes water and her smile return, and then she began to recite her vows. No other words had ever touched me so much, well maybe except when Abby said yes, but right now, in this moment, I could truly forget about everything that we had been through and just love my WIFE. God my wife, it feels so weird….but so, so right.

"You may now kiss the bride," said the pastor.

I leaned forward and captured her lips with my own. I felt them slowly open, and with enough access I entered further. I began massaging her tongue with my own, and I heard Abby moan. Things were going great until someone let out a cough. We broke away from each other and the small applause broke out. I found Shea among the crowd who gave us a stern but playful look as she covered Richie's two-year old eyes. I turned back to Abby and I grabbed her hand, and together we ran from the church and into our new life.

I was about to reminisce further when a small struggled whimper caught my ear. I looked below me and noticed that Abby had nodded off. Her face was contorted in what looked to me like fear and anguish. I saw a tear escape from between her eye lid, and soon after she woke with a gasp.

Pretending I hadn't seen her I looked at her and asked her if she was alright.

"Yah…I'm fine," she said.

She then proceeded to lay down on the grass. I knew something was wrong, but if she didn't want to talk about it I wouldn't push it further. I took her hand into mine and kissed it, before laying down beside her and staring out into the clouds above.

Shea POV

I was currently sitting in my spot in the bushes, hiding from whoever was terrorizing this island again. Richie was in my lap, and Jack and Tyler to my side. I knew we hadn't been here to long, and it probably wasn't safe for us to go anywhere.

Luck was just not on my side was it? Ten years ago I came to this damn island and for what? A wedding that didn't even happen and to have practically everyone I've ever loved taken away from me?

Only one good thing came from that journey, and his name is Richie. I remember it was about a month after returning home and spending the first of many days locked in my bedroom. I usually had someone deliver my meals and other luxuries to my room.

It was at times like these that I was truly sorry I hadn't appreciated my father, Thomas, enough. For how many things he provided for Trish and I, if we wanted something we had it. We were the typical spoiled rich girls. Now that didn't mean anything to me, all I really had right now was Madison, and I didn't even being to know how to approach her.

Soon the families would be flying out, to claim the bodies of their family members and want answers about what had transpired on the island. I would usually spend my nights crying in the dark or staring blanking at the TV screen, just so the noise would keep me company. I had lost Madison, she had made some new friends in our tragedy and was spending her time with them.

Everything changed for me one morning though when I found myself curled over the rim of a toilet, emptying the contents of my stomach into the bowl. At first I had thought it was just that it was something I ate, but somewhere in my mind I thought it could be morning sickness. I clung to the idea desperately hoping that it was true. Another child, someone who needed my nurturing, I wanted someone in my life so desperately and I saw this possible pregnancy as my pathway to improving my life.

So I waited and in a short time my suspicions were confirmed much to my delight. I was pregnant, and for the first time in a while I was happy.

So I waited for about another 8 months and then I gave birth to Richard Allen Jr. I remember being in the delivery room, Madison holding my hand, Abby and Jimmy waiting outside for any news. I remember the pain, and then the relief and the joy that filled my face as I held my son for the first time, and now as I look down on my little boy, who has grown so much in his nine years, I hope it won't be the last time I hold him.

Kayla POV

Run, run, run, that was all I had been doing for a while now, and I imagine that's what a lot of people's activities consisted of today. Have I ever mentioned that I absolutely hate running , especially when I'm running for my life?

Well I do, I fucking hate it! I hate everything about this goddamn island, I could just kill Madison for bringing us back here. I mean why, why, why would she want to have this wedding here? Unless she has a different motive……Madison couldn't be the person responsible for this, could she?

I expelled the thoughts from my head as I continued to run, jumping over logs and ducking under tree branches. I was doing fine until I tripped over a rock and ate shit, face planting into the dirt. That's another thing I'm sure has been happening a lot lately, I'm sure a lot of people have been tripping over things.

What would happen to my parents if I didn't survive this? How would they react to losing two daughters on the island? I remember when they first came to me one afternoon and said they had something really important to tell me.

It was ten years ago when I was in my room, just listening to music minding my own business when my parents crept into my room all unannounced and with tear stains on their cheeks. I remember me, being the brat that I was, immediately wanted to scold them for entering without permission, you know how when you're almost a pre-teen and space and privacy is really important to you, makes you feel all cool and shit.

Anyway I remember not yelling at them, and I'm thankful I didn't. I knew I couldn't after I saw their faces. So I paused my music and waited to see what they had to say. I was devastated when they told me Chloe had died. They didn't sugarcoat anything, just told me plain and simple, "Your sister is dead."

I didn't react the way they expected, because I didn't react at all. I just sat there, and after about three minutes I put my music back in and blocked their faces out. They both kissed me and hugged before leaving, I think I heard my dad say something like "give her time," or, "she hasn't grasped it yet,"

It was true, at the time it never really hit me that Chloe was really gone, I was in shock however and that's probably why I turned back to my music so quickly, but it wasn't the same, it wasn't like how it had been fifteen minutes ago.

Soon after I went with my parents to get Chloe, and say goodbye to her. It was there that I met Madison, I saw her sitting at a round table with another girl, who I later found out was Erin. Well seeing the two as the only other little girls around I went up to them. They didn't say anything when I sat down, just offered a glance. After a while we began to talk here and there. They found out I had lost my sister, and I found out Madison had lost a lot of people. I felt selfish for being upset over just one person when she had lost so much, and had to be there to see it all.

From that point on we have a good relationship as friends through school and the future in general, which leads me to here.

So I picked myself up and brushed myself off, I began to run again and I prayed that I wouldn't end up like Chloe, "Sorry, but I don't want to see you to soon again sis," I said.

Erin POV

I don't know why in this desperate time, but I thought of my friends, Kayla and Madison. God I had known Madison for almost fifteen years, and Kayla about ten. We were close, but I always got the feeling that those two were closer.

And why wouldn't they be? I mean when they have a connection that links them together like that, I'm sure you would be closer then just anybody. I didn't lose any family, so I didn't know how it felt, I couldn't relate to them. I didn't make the bond at a critical point in their lives when they were reeling from such huge losses.

Don't get me wrong, I knew I was still close to them it's just…because I wasn't there with them I withdrew a little into myself, didn't share myself so quickly and openly with others. I became more self reliant, independent, and a tad bit dark.

You would think that one of the two girls would be dark considering they were the ones losing something, but nope that title went to me. So I feel awkward when I get the feeling someone thinks I'm antisocial or something, I don't how to react. If I continue to not be open around them then they think I'm sort of bitch, but if I try to open up to them and let them know about me they think I'm some crazy freak trying to throw myself on them.

I let out a sigh as I continued to run, Oh yah forgot to mention that didn't I? I'm busy running for my life so I should wrap this up.

I just want to be able to live my life as me, not as someone else that is expected. I don't want to be the bright cheery one because everything is perfect for me, but I don't want to be all sad and gloomy because I have a hard time around people. I just want to be me.

Mak POV

I was trudging through the forest, sweeping my head back and forth looking for anyone. Honestly though I wanted to find Madison. My sweet Madison, whose skin looks like it'll taste like strawberries.

Weird? I don't think so. I felt pretty shitty at this point, trekking through the forest trying to find her, but I had been convinced to try for her one last time. The fact was that I still loved her and I wasn't about to lose her.

I remember in high school how everything was so perfect for me, great friends, great grades, and a great girl. Madison was my everything and I was her everything…or at least I thought I was.

I remember how crushed I was when she said we were breaking up, I cried for hours, and yah SO WHAT? I'm allowed to cry, especially when someone stomps on your heart, but I wasn't mad with her….how could I be?

She was the world to me, but I wasn't the same to her. She had said she wanted to stay friends, so we did, and we kept in touch every so often. What really surprised me was when she invited me to the wedding, at first I thought it was wonderful, until I realized she was getting married…not to me. It was a slap in the face, she basically told me to come see how happy she was without me.

So against my better judgment I decided to come, to see how happy she was, and maybe see her one last time before I said goodbye to her for good. However thanks to a clever idea, I decided that it wasn't to late for me, I could still have her and then I would show and prove everyone wrong.

I can still make Madison mine….I just have to find her first.

Madison POV

I really wanted to just stop for one more time, but I knew I couldn't I knew that I was fighting for everyone else's survival as well as my own. Who knew who else was gone in any matter of seconds they were out of someone's sight.

I didn't plan on letting any of my friends suffer because of me, I knew this was all connected to me somehow, I mean why wouldn't it be. I just needed to figure out who was responsible and why.

Then I would spend the rest of my LONG life with the man ahead of me. Josh was my everything and anything, I remember meeting him like it was just yesterday. It was my third month of college, and it was any regular day.

I was walking with Daniele and Julie as we strolled through the campus for lunch. We settled on taking our food outside and chatting by the university's fountain. It was after we started talking that he grabbed my attention. He was horsing around with some of his friends and when he grabbed one to wrestle him to the ground he had this beautiful smile on his face.

It melted my heart and I thought my face might melt off. I thought I was done for when he noticed I had been looking at him. "Oh shit," I said.

"What? What is it?" asked Daniele.

"That guy, the cute one..caught me looking," I said.

"Which one, they're all cute," Daniele said grinning while taking a swig of her drink.

"He's coming this way!" I squealed.

"Well then go for him," said Julie taking a drink of her Pepsi.

"You're drinking Pepsi?" Daniele asked.

"What just because I'm a girl means I have to drink iced tea, or water?" asked Julie.

I wasn't paying any attention to them anymore as I set off to meet the boy. "Hi" I said.

"Hi yourself," he said.

"I'm Madison," I said quickly putting my hand out.

"Josh," he said.

"Soo……..okay let's cut the crap, I think you're cute, and would you like to go out sometime?"

"I suppose," he said.

"Can you say more then two words in a sentence?"

"I suppose," he said again laughing, "However did occur to you that I might have a girlfriend ?"

I squeaked, "Well….you don't….right?"

"As a matter of fact…I don't," he said grinning.

I let out a sigh of relief, "Well would you like to get to know each other?"

"Kind of spontaneous aren't you? Going after a guy just because the way he looks? What if we have nothing in common?"

"That's what we are going to find out on our date tomorrow," I said taking control.

"Oh really?" he asked, "Fine meet me back here at eight tomorrow."

"No problem," I said as he walked away, then it hit me, I just asked some guy out who I just met. All over a smile…and maybe other parts of his body…but wow, never thought I could do that.

I turned back to my friends and I didn't know it yet, but that date would be one of the best things that ever happened to me. Josh and I soon began a wonderful relationship, his friends and my friends meshed for the most part, and Josh spent a good portion of his time with me. Things were shaping up for us, and then I think you know the rest.

So I promised myself there was no way in hell that I was going to let anything happen to him, or anyone else. Everyone is to important to me.

Tyler POV

I found sitting in the bush on the soft grass with Jack sleeping on my chest to be quite relaxing actually. I watched as his chest lifted slowly and how soft his hair felt as I combed through it with my fingers. I glanced to my left to see Shea focused on Richie who was also sleeping.

"Hey Shea," I whispered.

"Yes," she answered looking over at me.

"When all of this is over…do you think you could help me find a place to live near you all, I mean I think its obvious I won't have a home here ever again."

She seemed to be thinking this over for a second, "Yah, I mean, we don't know who else is gone…….but I wouldn't want to stay here anymore then you. I would gladly help you, probably find you a nice affordable place near the rest of us, so we could keep in touch if you needed something."

"Thanks Shea," I said.

"What about your parents? Do you know anything about them?" she asked.

I cringed internally, "…….No…..nothing," I said.

It was a lie though, I knew enough about them, and how they both abandoned me when they couldn't handle things anymore. I remember when I was just five how my dad had walked out on me and my mother, claiming he couldn't do the island thing anymore. I had a feeling he just didn't love her anymore, but at the time I thought that I did something wrong.

Then nine years later the mass killing took place and we left the island for a short period of time, and then returned. My mom started getting really depressed, and I had no idea what to do with her. I wanted to help her, but she didn't want my help.

So when I was eighteen she tried to kick me out, but I wasn't planning on leaving the island, so instead when I came home one day most of her things were gone. It was a typical sight these days, people would just pack up and go and never return to the damned island, but for me it hurt so bad.

So for the past six years I've lived here, but it's time to go, time to go with Jack and start a new life with hopefully new love, someone that will want my help and someone I can take care of.

Someone's POV

Goddamn this block was fucking heavy, but it would be worth it, it would help cleaning up and disposing of bodies. In case I forget I need to make a clean getaway, no evidence against me.

I continued to creep through the brush, not making too much noise, but noise none the less. I nearly jumped ten feet in the air when I finally found them, there they were just laying there, totally unsuspecting. Two of my biggest threats and they were about to be taken down, for good.

No POV

Abby played with her hair as she watched everything around her. "It's time to go Abby," something said in a whisper. She looked at Jimmy noticing he was asleep. She listened carefully, and as the wind blew, a horde of whispers seemed to fly from the forest, "It's time to go Abby….it's time to go,"

Abby began to shake, "I'm crazy, the only logical explanation," she told herself.

While Abby was so busy keeping her eyes on the forest to her side, she didn't notice someone step from Jimmy's side.

The someone slowly crept to Jimmy and pulled out their knife and crouched beside Jimmy. It all happened so fast. The someone lunged at Jimmy and got his neck into a grip waking him. Abby spun around and screamed, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she screamed.

"Don't move or he's dead," the someone said, having enough force over Jimmy.

"What are you doing, what are you doing?!?!" Abby repeated.

"Nothing much, just call it insurance, I can't have you two interfering in my matters," they said.

"Fuck you!" Jimmy said trying to break free, but stopped when the someone began to slice the blade into the back of his neck. Jimmy stopped in pain as the knife peeled away and parted his flesh.

Jimmy could feel his blood drip down his back and Abby scream out in horror. Jimmy saw as she stood, "AH, AH, AH, one more move and this knife won't just be in his neck," the someone said.

Abby froze and watched in horror as Jimmy continued to thrash in their grip. The someone worked precisely parting the flesh and letting in bleed until they found what they were searching for. They smiled before severing it and letting Jimmy fall to the ground.

Jimmy was in shock as he fell, he couldn't feel or move anything from the neck down. The bastard severed his spinal cord. "Abby….run," Jimmy called out weakly.

Abby knelt down to Jimmy and kissed him, "I can't." she said.

Jimmy watched from his spot as the someone came up behind Abby and with the same knife, plunged it into her back. She screamed out in pain thrashing her head up and around. The someone removed the knife and plunged in into Abby's back a few more times before pocketing it once more.

The someone then reached for the cinderblock and rope in the bushes and quickly set to work tying the couple together. "Ji…Ji….Jimmy," Abby weakly called with a dribble of blood on the corner of her mouth.

It killed Jimmy not to be able to reach out to Abby and hold her and tell her everything would be all right, it killed him not to be able to feel anything at all.

"Well have a nice drop, because Abby,....it's time to go," said the someone throwing the block over the cliff.

Abby and Jimmy were dragged over the edge slowly after, their limp bodies offering no resistance.

And so they fell into the deep blue water, and were dragged down, down, down, and despite how far they went, their weak eyes never broke contact and at the same time, let out their last bubble of air.

The poll is now up on my profile, so go vote, please, I mean come on you get to save someone. The poll will probably open the last minute before I start writing chapter 13, (so not for a while)

Preview of a death for next chapter: Some things become clear for one guest, and the readers

Please, Please, Please, review. I'll admit it, I'm a review whore. I LIVE for your reviews because they mean so much to me. I would like to thank everyone who reviewed last chapter and hopefully I'll get some reviews from people I haven't heard from in a while.

Thanks for reading my story. Only 3 chapters left. (with one last chapter explaining a few things)

Note: I didn't proofread this chapter through like usual, because I have a lot of things to do today, and I'm lazy, so if you read anything confusing wording or grammar wise, I apologize.
