Jason tried to scream as he bashed into a rock. White water splashed all around him, tossing him around like a ragdoll. All around him, jagged rocks rose from the water like spears. In his mind, he could see his body splattered all over the mossy stones, beaten, bloody, dead.

Limbs sore from struggling against the current in vain, he went limp. He allowed the current to take him. Almost immediately, it pulled him under. Instinctively, he immediately started swimming his way up to the surface, trying to get back to the air-filled world above.

The second he broke surface, a huge chunk of rock appeared right in front of him. Swerving to the right, he barely missed the awful collision. He looked back at the jagged rock that was almost the end of him. Relief pounded through his mind.

Suddenly, his vision swam and pain exploded on the side of his head. Blood running down the side of his face, latched his fingers onto the rock he crashed into. The current pulled at him with so much force he nearly let go. He could feel is grip slipping. There was nothing he could do. His hand was ripped away from the rock.

With a sudden rush, the current took him. His throat burned from swallowing so much saltwater, and his body hurt all over from smashing into the rocks. Soaked and bleeding, he began to lose hope that he would survive. Why does the bad stuff always happen to him?

Pain rocketed up his spine as his back crashed into a huge boulder and black spots danced across his vision. Before he could collect himself again, he tumbled forward and breathed in a lungful of water. Frantically, he clawed his way to the surface.

Gasping for air, his mind went through all the possibilities of escaping this tragedy. It wasn't looking very good. Shutting everything else, a strange calm washed over him. Able to think more clear, he remembered the pocket knife. He hesitated, knowing that he will be risking stabbing himself in these cursed rapids. The appearance of yet another jagged spear of death, finalized his decision.

He fished it from his pocket and flipped open the silver blade. Shifting it from hand to hand he allowed himself to be swept up by the current. He watched as it got closer and closer. In a flash, right at the last second, he took the knife and jammed it into a crevice in the rock.

Flinching, his head slammed into the jagged surface of the rock, his body following suit. Somehow, he had kept his grip on the knife and stay hanging on a rock. The water pulled at him, trying to send him to a watery grave. He resisted, hugging the rock for dear life. His foot scraped up against the jagged surface of the rock, struggling to find a foothold.

Finding a place to put his foot, he took a deep breath. He reached his arm as far as he could and groped around for a place he could latch onto. Found one. Letting go of his grip on the knife, he took a second to rest. Withdrawing the blade from its crevice, he jammed it into another one further up. Then, he searched for a foothold for his other foot. He found won slightly higher than the other one. Perfect. Groaning with the effort, he began hauling himself up the rockface.

Clenching his teeth, he pulled himself onto the top of the rock. Standing up straight, he looked down at the swift moving rapids. He became aware of how close he had been to death when he saw the jagged wall of rocks stretched out right in front of the rock he was on. No openings. No breaks. No gaps in the rocks. He would have been dead.

Weak from his struggle in the water, he just wanted to crumple up on the rock and rest. Suddenly, a huge gust of wind beat at him, making him lose his footing. He flailed his arms, trying to regain his balance. It was no use. He was falling head first back into the fast moving water.

A great pain exploded on the side of his head, as he struck the rock below. Black threatened to invade his mind as he tumbled into the water. Not bothering to fight his way to the surface, the current sent him twisting and turning through the water. He tried to battle with the darkness, tried to make himself take action. He couldn't.

All of a sudden, he could feel gritty sand underneath him. Pushing back the dark entirely he struggled to his feet. He had made it. Stumbling onto shore, he doubled over on the sand and coughed up all the saltwater in his stomach. His throat was burning and his head was bleeding, but he was alive. Somehow, he had escaped death once more.

Gathering himself, he quickly surveyed his surroundings. Confused, he stared at two sets of footprints embedded in the sand. They were heading toward the thick jungle of undergrowth. Suddenly he remembered. Coraline and Wybie. He followed the tracks with his eyes, dread filling his stomach. They had gone into the jungle. Taking a breath, he knew he had to go after them. There was no way they would survive the night without his help. Ignoring the tiredness in his legs, he headed for the trees. Taking one last look at the beach, he took a step into the dark undergrowth.
