~Gone~

Part 1 ~USA~
They were gone, all of them. Just gone..... The adults of the world, dead from a virus. Just the children were
left alive. On the eastern seaboard, four girls watched the sunrise over the Atlantic. One of the girls stepped
forward, closer to the waterline. The wind blew her hair around her face. That is Kat short for Kathleen, shes
the eldest, age 17. Elizabeth and Amethyst, (Beth and Amee) are twins at the age of 16, Nichole, the baby of
the family is age 14.
Their father was a Navy Seal and their mother was a homemaker. All the kids were trained by their father in the
Martial Arts and the art of survival in the wild. But it was their sister Kat, that enjoyed it. In her spare time Kat
would take Martial Arts and she
didn't take just on class. She took all forms of Martial Arts.
Their mother, on the other hand, tried to get her daughters to act like girls. She took them to music lesson, or
Girl Scout, and despite the results, she was proud of her girls.
"Something is calling for us -- "
"What or whom is, Kat?" Beth interrupted.
"-- across the sea" Kat finished, as if not hearing Beth's question. Sighing, just slightly annoyed at her sister's interruption,
she shook her head. "I don't know Beth but something powerful is calling from that direction." and Kat pointed out to sea.
Beth looked at her sister in astonishment and looked at the direction her sister's finger was pointing. "That way? Are you
sure sis?"
"Yes."
The other two siblings joined them. "We are going there, aren't we?"
Kat turned towards her two younger sisters. "Yes we are."
"But why?"
"I just feel like we should I know this may sound funny, but I feel like something or someone is waiting for us out there."
and Kat motioned towards the eastern horizon.
The three younger sisters looked at each other. Their older sister had always been strange like that, and maybe it was because
their father trained her and because of her love for the Martial Arts. It didn't matter and as usual they followed their sister
not because she was the eldest, but because for the past year after their parents died of the same deadly virus afflicting all
the adults of the world she had taken care of them. They had been alone, and it had been Kat that kept the sisters together.
Unfortunately the rest of the kids left in the small town went crazy. It had been Kat that pulled them through the rough times
with her survival skills taught by their father.
Pulling her younger sisters in her arms they indulged in a group hug. Kat walked up to the boat, which had a motor and sail,
and checked everything over, just in case. She made a check list of the supplies that they would need for their trip (water, food,
clothes, and extra gas). Each girl had their own backpack, with their special possessions tucked away safely inside. For Kat it was
a special gift from her father when he had a mission in Japan. He had brought home a beautiful katana with an ivory handle carved
with dragons.
She placed most of their weapons in a safe place whithin easy to reach. Then put extra food and water in a spare dufflebag, just in
case something bad happened.
Kat sighed softly now that she had finished. 'Now I feel somewhat better.' Fearing that her sisters heard that soft sigh, she looked
around the dock, but no siblings where in sight. She didn't want to tell them she was scared, more scared than anything to risk it
all on just a whim, on a feeling that something was calling 'her'. Even though her father trained them in land and sea survival, her
greatest fear was the water. She was absolutely petrified of it. But despite that she didn't want to fail herself or her sisters.
There was nothing left, in this small town by the sea ever since all the adults contracted that virus...... They had all died, leaving
the kids alone. So the girls had no choice but to leave since the whole town was going insane.......
After everything was all set, they were ready to shove off. The girls knew they had along trip ahead of them, and they agreed on
using the sails for the first part of their journey. They all went aboard and started their journey
As the hours passed by, Kat's grip on the wheel tightened until her knuckles turned white. Amee was sitting a little in front of her
big sister, and turned to ask her a question when she noticed her whitened knuckles. Looking up into Kat's eyes, which were hard
and steely, she asked, "Are you alright Kat??"
Startled Kat turned towards her sister. "I'm just nervous, Amee."
She rose one eyebrow at her sister. "Yes, I know. But what else is bothering you? Is it that weird feeling or is it something else?"
Sighing, Kat knew her sister had a keen insight. She couldn't hide anything from her. "Yes, it's driving me CRAZY."
Beth and Niki, who were playing a game on the deck as they glided across the Atlantic, looked up at their sisters cry. Amee placed
a hand over Kat's. "It will be okay sis, just relax."
Kat looked at her from the corner of her eye. 'Where was I when my little sister grew up so fast?' Sighing, Kat knew that her sister
was right and layed her other hand over her sisters. "Alright Amee, I'll be okay."
Seeing her older sister smile, Amee smiled back. 'It's been too long since I have seen Kat smile like that.' she thought. 'Way too long!'
Turning back to the eastern horizon, Kat stared ahead.
'Whom or whatever you are, we are coming.' Kat had been feeling weird all day like something was going to happen to them. It was
so familar to her, that thing that was far out of reach until now. Like it was part of her, calling her forward like a missing piece of her
soul. She shook her head.
'No that's crazy! I'm just imagning it!'
* *

The storm hit without warning, causing the boat to sway dangerously.
"BETH, GET THE SAILS DOWN!" Kat yelled over the high winds. Then she locked the wheel into place and ran to help her
sisters. Rain and seawater drenched them as they worked hard to bring the sails down. As her sisters went below, Kat stayed
on deck at the wheel and stared off into the distance. Through the high winds, waves, and the rain which she strangely couldn't
feel anymore. She felt numb all over.
It was then when she saw it, just sitting on the horizon, and they were heading right for it. It was a black hole that seemed to be
sucking the storm and everything around it in. "Oh, SHIT!" Kat ran down below, yelling for her sisters. Three pairs of eyes
widened at their sister's entrance.
"Grab the dufflebag and your backpacks. Get up on deck!" Before climbing back up, she grabbed her backpack and then went
back into the storm again.
They all looked at each other, stalling just for a second before springing into action. They knew better than not listen to their
older sister. Getting their stuff, the youngest sister ran to join the oldest on deck. Their sister was staring off into the distance.
"What is it? What's wrong sis?" Amee asked, terrified that their sibling, their rock, had finally went off the deep end. Kat pointed
towards the hole that was getting bigger by the minute. "We are going in, I tried to steer away but it was impossible."
Within a heartbeat the boat was on the bounderies of the hole. They stood on the deck with their backpacks on and holding
each other tightly, waiting for the inevitable. And in the next couple of seconds the girls were gone, leaving their boat all alone
on the stormy sea.
It was like a wind tunnel, pitch black inside. They were screaming, dropping downwards, falling forever downward......
Then nothing, all of them were out cold.
