Once everyone had woken up, they had all split up into pairs again to find materials and food.
Noah and Cody went with each other to find food.
"Hey Noah, who do you think hit us on the head and locked us on that ship?" Cody asked.
"I have no idea, but we need to find a way out of here before another one of those earthquakes happen again," Noah replied.
"Yeah, that was pretty creepy, and they could get worse-"
Cody was flung upside down and lifted into the air. He yelped and hung from a tree branch with a rope tied around his foot.
"Cody!" Noah shouted.
"Whoa! What the- get me down!" Cody yelled.
Noah began climbing up the tree, but kept slipping down. Noah noticed the rope around Cody's foot was begining to tear.
"Noah, hurry!" Cody shouted at him.
"I'm trying! The tree is slippery!"
It felt like someone had rubbed butter or soap all around the tree, but why would someone do that?
Noah managed to grab onto one of the branches and pulled himself up. He climbed higher towards Cody.
"Noah! The rope! It's breaking!" Cody shouted.
The rope suddenly snapped and Cody shrieked. Noah was quick to act and grabbed Cody's foot right before he fell. He pulled him up onto the branch.
"Whoa, dude, I thought I was going to die there," Cody said and rubbed his eyes.
"I wouldn't let you fall," Noah told him.
Cody smiled and put his hand on Noah's shoulder. "Well thanks, man," he said.
When Cody turned to climb down, Noah blushed.
"Whoa, this tree is slippery... and it smells like butter!" Cody said.
"I know, I think someone might of rubbed butter all over it," Noah said.
"Wha- why would someone do that?"
"I don't know, it's kind of like they were the ones who set up that trap and rubbed butter all over the tree so someone couldn't climb up to get the person down," Noah said and strached his head, "but I clearly got up so they didn't do a very good job."
Cody chuckled.
The two continued to look for food. They eventually came across a berry bush.
"Do you have a bag or something we can carry these in?" Cody asked.
Noah shook his head.
"We can maybe use our shirts to hold them," he said.
The two boys made a little pouch in their shirts and filled them with berries. When they were all full, they headed back to the meeting area. Scott and Dawn were already there, but something was different about them, Dawn was sitting on Scott's lap and they were holding hands.
"Uh... hi," Noah said awkwardly.
Scott and Dawn gasped and scrabled away from each other.
Noah and Cody looked at each other.
"Uh, we got some berries," Cody said and held out his puch of berries.
Scott blushed and srached his head. "Um, that's good," he said awkwardly.
Dawn blushed and said nothing.
Noah and Cody looked at each other again.
"Well, where are the others?" Cody asked.
"Dave and Topher stopped by here to drop off some wood, then they left," Scott told them.
Cody nodded and popped a berry into his mouth.
"We think that there might be someone else on this island," Dawn suddenly said.
"Really?" Cody asked.
"Yeah, Scott and I found a rock that had carving in it, and they said 'Welcome to Redsand Island, kids' and then we heard laughing in the distance."
"That could of just been Sky or Ella or Mike or-"
"It could of been one of them, but the laugh sounded evil as if the person were watching us," Scott interrupted him.
Noah and Cody looked at each other.
"There actually could be someone else on this island because Cody's foot got caught in a rope trap and he got stuck hanging from a tree, so when I tried to climb up and get him down, it felt like someone had rubbed butter all over the tree, and it smelt like butter," Noah told them.
"Oh my god, do you think they were the one who locked us on that sinking ship?" Cody asked.
Suddenly, a log came rolling down the hill they were beside, scaring all of them and knocking over Scott.
"Uh... guys..." Cody said and pointed to the log.
There were words carved into it. They said 'So you survived the sinking ship, but that was only the beginning of everything I have planned for you, welcome to Redsand Island'.
The four looked at each other and gulped. Someone else was on this island with them. They were planning on hurting them. They could be watching them right now.
