GET BACK HERE, YOU BITCH! -runs-
"Oh my God!" Tetra shouted. "There it is! There! There!"
"Where?" Justin asked.
"There!"
"Where?" Violet asked.
"THERE!"
"I don't-" Justin didn't finish, for he and Violet say the land peak above the sea to the east. "You're right!"
"Sweet!" Violet exclaimed.
It was about 8:30pm now, and the teenagers were getting impatient. But, there it was, ready to be explored.
Justin, Violet and Tetra got excited. This was going to be fun. But, as though he was stabbed int eh belly, Justin remembered the secret that burdened him, and his excitement turned to anxious fright. It happened to Violet, too.
Tetra kept on smiling, though, and she radioed in the coordinates.
It was free-for-all now. Some of the other ships began passing the Stephanie by full-on. Justin and Violet got a clear glimps of Kailee giving them raspberries with her toungue.
It was like a race, or like the movie Speed 2... whichever you prefer. Personally, I hated that movie.
Anyways, the wind blustered at them as the ship gained it's full speed. Despite that, the other ships were still able to catch up.
The land got larger and larger on the horizon, soon stretching up higher and higher until they were less than a couple miles away.
It was then that the ships began to slow, but as they reached their last half-mile, the anchors of all eight boats smashed hard into the ocean.
The boats all stopped incredibly suddenly. Every teenager except Tetra flew across the decks, and over the railings. They were all in the water.
The boats then raised their anchors a little, allowing them to drift the rest of the quarter mile to the shore. The kids in the water were forced to swim the whole way. Each of them knew how to, so they didn't compalin except about the water's temperature.
They shivered their way onto the far shore where they collapsed onto the soft, beige sand. The beach seemed to stretch the whole shore, at least to the extent of everyone's eyesight. Behind them, a large cluster of high canopies stretched over them, their branches creating a beautiful, yet still dangerous jungle.
The sea's waves burst lightly onto the sand, washing away all the footprints, leaving them to a blank space, as if nothing had desturbed it. Small crustacean creatures roamed the beaches quietly. None of them were bigger than a palm of a hand.
The teenagers dried themselves off with towels that Tetra and her men brought from the Stephanie. They kept complaining and fussing about what happened, but the arguements still seemed humorous to Tetra.
They looked at the jungle behind them, and desided that it was the way to go.
