Annihilated

Jason and his group of girls slept under the same tree they were at before. They seemed to have walked in a circle and exhausted themselves. Jason was awake, guarding the girls from whatever was on the island. He heard the bushes rustle and looked at an opening just in time to see a boar rush out and along the beach. The little, black, pig-like creature was running in fear of something.

Jason darted up and yelled at the three sleeping girls. He rushed the sleepyheads into the bush and told them to stay down. He watched, wide-awake while six shadows rushed across the beach after the boar.

"Jase, what's going on?" Kim whispered.

"I don't know just stay down." Jason whispered back.

Shane was first on fire duty but he had a companion, seeing as Hunter couldn't sleep. He was mad at himself for not finding any of the others. The bushes were blowing in the calm night breeze, which gave the island a bit of creepiness about it. Shane knew the island was weird but it hadn't done anything yet to prove that to him.

"So dude, do you think we're alone on the island?" Shane asked.

"Man I hope not, I hope Blake's still alive and just alone or with Dustin or Cam. I just hope they're not all like Tor."

"You mean dead?" Shane questioned.

"Yeah." Hunter nodded.

"Don't worry about it bro, if we don't get off this island soon, you might be joining her up there with me." Shane tried to joke but the creepiness just wouldn't let the joke become funny.

"Nah, we'll get off the island, we have an even better chance if this fire keeps going the way it is."

Tommy had run back to the lagoon, waking almost everyone instantly. He was on patrol and ran after a squirrel, hoping to find food of some sort.

"Guys, I think there's other people on the island." He shouted.

"What?" Dustin asked.

"Well, I was running along part of the shore and found the sand all messed up, like someone walked on it. There were shoe prints and everything."

"Are you sure you weren't hallucinating?" Billy asked.

"No but I'm pretty sure." Tommy replied.

"But, why didn't you try to follow the tacks?" Trini questioned.

"They stop. At a place where the tide is higher, must've been washed away."

"Let's look in the morning." Cam whined.

"Good plan bro." Dustin added.

The six of tem closed their eyes, well, all except for Tommy; he was wide-awake, adrenaline rushing through his body. He couldn't sleep if he tried so he listened to the calm ocean tide. It was barely audible through the sheltered forest but he could still hear it. It seemed like he was just like the tide. Lost in thought he remembered his missing friends.

Jason sat on the edge of the woods, hidden to the shoreline but not hidden from the forest. Kim and Aisha were sleeping but Tori soon joined Jason, watching the tide rush in and out.

"Do you think we should look for other survivors tomorrow morning?" She asked, breaking the creepy silence.

"We should go now, before it gets hot outside. Then we won't be wasting our energy, sweating in the hot sun." Jason stated.

"Let's wake up the others." Tori smiled and got right to it.

She crawled over to the other two girls and shook them awake. They sat up slowly and glared at her. She glared back and it turned into a staring contest. Tori won against both of the girls.

"Jason wants to move out before the sun rises, then it won't be too hot." Tori announced.

"Alright, let's go then." Kim said with a tone of whining.

"That's a good idea." Aisha added.

Rocky and Adam traded and they were now on fire duty. Hunter had finally fallen asleep and Shane was out before his head hit the ground. They were best friends, Rocky and Adam, they had known each other since they could remember. It made them more like brothers than anything.

"Do you think we'll get rescued?" Rocky asked.

"I think that if we keep the fire going and not give up we'll make it." Adam replied.

"Man, I don't know if I can handle this much longer, I need food." Rocky whined.

"We'll be annihilated if we give up. Who knows what lives on this island." Adam stated.

"Like monsters?" Rocky queried.

"Anything unknown is dangerous to us." Adam joked.

"You trying to scare me?" Rocky asked with a glare.

"Is it working." Adam grinned.

"A little." Rocky laughed back.
