Chapter five: Lost Hope
The body lay there on the grass, motionless. Insects and other pests crawled over it. They crawled in and out of the mouth of the lifeless mortal.
"W-who is it?" Mariah asked in a frightened voice. She stared in awe at the mingled up thing.
"I'm not sure…" Ray said mystified.
"I'll tell you who it is!" Tyson said. "It's that idiotic that got out of his seat, broke a window, and soared through the air. Doesn't the guy know he CAN"T fly…geeze…
"That's him!" Ray and Mariah yelled.
Tyson went on, "But of all places he lands on this island. SPLAT! I don't know if the guy's lucky or not… At least he's not lost at sea, but I guess this is a worst faith…"
"This guy is seriously messed up," Ray said as he examined the dead man. "His legs are twisted all the way around and his shoulder bone is shattered.
"There would be no way he could have survived," Mariah began, "from the height he fell. He would be dead even if he had fallen into the ocean…"
"He probably had a heart attack and died from that," Ray implied.
"Yeah," Tyson said. "Poor dude." He took off his hat and prayed for the man's soul.
"Well no use moping for the dead, let's get going." Tyson put his cap back on and walked past the deceased man.
Mariah and Ray followed Tyson. Mariah looked down at the dead man. His neck was twisted! But that wasn't what frightened her. The man's hand had grabbed her leg! She wanted to scream but was too petrified to do anything.
Ray stopped. He sensed the girl wasn't behind him anymore. He whirled around. "What's wrong, Mari…ah…" He saw what had her. It made a shiver go down his spine.
She stared down at the thing who had held her. A gross feeling spread across her. She had to get it off her. The girl bought up enough courage to move. She viciously kicked at the body. Over and over she struck the dead man.
Ray sweat dropped. "What the…," Tyson said.
Mariah's kick forced the dead man's arm to let go of her. And she accidentally kicked the man's head causing it to rapidly switch direction. The broken bones snapped. "No respect to the dead…whimper…whimper…," thought the dead body.
The girl quickly marched past the two shocked bladers. Tyson sweat dropped and stared at the deceased man. "So violent…," Tyson said in a scared voice.
"Never would have thought…, Ray added.

The kids strolled on the beach. Hoping one of their friends had washed up from the sea. A few yards away a figure lied on the shore, motionless.
"LEE!!" Mariah cried. She dashed over to her teammate.
"Lee!" Ray said running over to his friend. Tyson followed after him.
"Mariah…, Ray…, Tyson…?" Lee asked weakly.
"We're here now." Ray said, trying to comfort his old teammate. (Eyes yoai's)
"Where are Kevin and Gary?" Mariah asked in a very worried voice.
"And what about Max?!" Tyson cried.
"They disappeared…" the boy said.
"What!" the three said in unison.
"They were right behind me and…then…they were all gone…vanished…" (DUN DUN DUN!)"
"Gone…?" Ray murmured.
"No…" Mariah cried. Tears flooded her eyes and dripped down her cheeks. Ray turned his head, silently weeping for his friends.
"Max…" Tyson said, "He was such a nice kid…" Tyson hide his eyes with his hat. A tear rolled down his cheek and on to his chin.
"Gary probably sank and took Max and Kevin with him…" Tyson joked gloomily. No one even scolded him; they just hung their heads solemnly.

They walked silently back to where they had left Hilary, Kenny, and Kai. Not a word was said between them. The only sound that was heard was the rustle of trees as the wind blew.
Hilary sow them coming. Her face lit up but it soon turned to a frown. Max and the others did not accompany them.
"Come on guys," Tyson said, "We better get some rest."
To be continued…
Maxy… I like him. He's one of my faves! He'll be in one of the up coming chapters. Don't worry.
Review! Please! I know it's short but I hate to type so long!!
