Melissa, Eric, and Jackson walked down a spooky trail looking for everyone else.

The sun has set even more and it was getting dark, and grew more dangerous for the kids.

So far, nobody had seen Ace for 4 hours. They started to wonder of he'd ever come back.

Looking around as they walked, they listened for voices.

They had to make sure Ace wasn't coming, but they had to see if they could hear the others voices too.

"Where are they?"Melissa asked Jackson, starting to worry. Eric was close behind them.

"Uhhm...I dont know."Jackson said quietly as they passed a big palm tree.

A small bird pecked at a coconut which fell from the sky, hitting Eric in the head."Ow!"He said as Melissa grabbed him and covered his mouth.Sshhhhh...she said putting a finger to her mouth. Appartently Eric was talking more, which was a good thing. But he still didn't feel like it much.

He nodded and she let him go.

They continued to walk around the island in desperate need of finding the others. Hopefully they would find them before Ace did.

ANOTHER HOUR PASSES

It was about 11pm and dark and stormy. A big storm was headed their way.But they would have no idea what to expect of it. It was a BIG storm. a very very big storm. That kind of storm is called a hurricane.

By that time, Eric had shutup again and didn't talk. Melissa worried but what else could she do? She and Jackson walked down the trail, still with Eric following.

"Where are the others??"Melissa asked again, unpatient.

"I don't know. We should have seen them already."Jackson says stepping over a rock.

The others walked down a path too.

They had ventured far off the course of the trail they were supposed to meet the others on.

Nathan walked first, follwed by Lex, Daley, and Taylor.

He knew he would need to protect them.

He walked along listening to Taylor's cry, which made him more sad.

"Can we stop? Im so tired."Taylor moaned after she stopped crying silently.

"No. Its too dangerous. Ace could be anywhere."Daley told her.

Yes that is true. He could be anywhere.In fact, he wasn't too far away from the others.
