Tahdah! An update, on a Friday night again! I'm trying my best to update more often, but it takes me awhile to write the enxt chapter. Why? I have no idea...

Chapter 8-

Rescue Missons

Jake and his men stopped their search for the cart and sat down to rest.

"Sire, I think this is hopeless. There are no signs of cart tracks whatsoever here. I think you should just give up." Said one of the soldiers.

Jake glared at him. "Give up? This is the princess we are talking about here, we have to save her!"

"But how?"

"I don't know that part yet." Jake muttered under his breath and turned around and saw a lady standing there. She motioned for him to follow her and turned around and walked deeper in the jungle.

"Sire?" The soldier said as he watched Jake head deeper in the forest. Jake didn't respond so the rest of them followed him. He walked deeper until they came across a hut. Jake walked cautiously towards the door and opened it, looking in.

On the bed lay a boy who looked dead. On the ground was a girl, unconscious or dead, he couldn't tell. And there was Miley and Jackson, but Jackson bent down to check on the girl and he collapsed as well.

Miley was going to bend down and help him, but Jake saw the blue mist and grabbed her around the waist before she also died. She started struggling and tried to hit and kick him.

"Miley! Stop fighting me!" He said. She stopped struggling and he managed to get out of the hut when he let go of her. She fell to the ground sobbing and looked up at him.

"My friends and Jackson! Jake, we have to save them!" She said. Jake sighed and shook his head.

"I'm sorry Miley, but they're dead." He said and then looked over at one of his soldiers. He nodded and he lit the torch and threw it into the hut. Miley screamed and ran towards it, but Jake grabbed her again and pulled her onto the cart they found.

He sat there, hugging Miley as she cried into his chest. Jake thought this was it; Miley was finally going to be his! Oh, how wrong he was…

"Where are we going?"

"Huh?"

"Where are we going?"

"No idea."

"Then… how do you know where my friends are?"

"I don't"

"You don't know?" Oliver asked and stopped and looked at the nymph. "Then why am I following you?"

"Because I know this forest like the back of my hand. Now do you have some sort of contraption you humans always have on you that tells you the different directions or whatever." Narcissus said.

"Oh, you mean a compass?" Oliver asked. The nymph looked at him blankly and he took out his compass. Narcissus took it out of his hands and looked it over.

"Yep, that's it. Now think of your friends and it'll point you in the right direction."

"Huh?" Oliver said, frowning. The nymph sighed, was she going to explain everything in detail to this guy?

"Ok, this is a special compass. If you didn't notice, it doesn't point north. That's because it points to the thing you want most." She said.

"But I thought it led to the greatest treasure in the world?" Oliver asked, looking down at the compass.

"Yes! Because that is what you want most!" Narcissus shouted.

"So this whole time… I've been chasing nothing?" Oliver asked.

"Probably not it you were thinking about gold and riches. There is a legend there is something on this island about untouched treasure and all of that." The nymph said. "I don't care about it, unless there is something I can use to see myself in it."

"Yeah, right. Ok, I'll try." Oliver said. He opened the compass and looked down at it. Lilly and Jackson. Lilly and Jackson. Hannah…

The compass stopped at one direction, but when he thought about Miley, it started spinning and pointed in a different direction all together.

"Is that the way we have to go?" Narcissus asked, looking at the compass.

"No, I'll try again." Oliver said and closed his eyes. He thought about Lilly and Jackson, pushing all thoughts of Miley or Hannah out of his mind.

"We have our heading." Narcissus said, looking down at the compass. Oliver opened his eyes and looked down at the compass. They were heading the right way.

"Oh boy." Narcissus said as she took a few steps forward.

"What?" Oliver asked, joining her.

"We maybe closer to them then you think." She said.

"Why?" Oliver asked. Narcissus moved a branch out of the way and he noticed they were on top of a hill. At the bottom was a small village where in the centre they had a bonfire going.

"Natives." Oliver said.

"Yeah, and I'm guessing its suppertime and your friends are on the menu." The nymph said. "Good luck with saving them."

"Wait, where are you going?" Oliver asked as she started to run away.

"I'm a nymph, not a warrior! Sorry Oliver, but you're on your own now. I just said I'd lead you to them, not help you save them!" She shouted back at him as she disappeared into the forest.

Great, just great. Oliver thought as he then looked away. He had to get down there without getting spotted or else all of them would be doomed. Ok, here it goes…

"Can't we jump overboard?" Jackson asked, looking down at the water.

"That would be suicidal." Lilly said.

"Well, just sitting here and waiting to be caught by them and eaten is also suicidal." Jackson pointed out and looked back in the water. "What lives in there?"

"I have no idea actually." Lilly said and looked down into the black river. "And I'd be happy to keep it that way."

The two of them then sat down in silence, watching as they neared the shore. The natives started shouting things in their language and waving their weapons in the air. Lilly moved closer to Jackson and hugged him.

"This is it, the end of our lives. Well, it's been good so far." Jackson said.

"I'm too young to die! I wanted to live more!" Lilly wailed as the boat touched the sand. The natives surrounded the boat and dragged Lilly away from Jackson. "Jackson! Help me!"

"I can't!" He shouted back, trying to get out of the hold of one of the natives holding him. He managed to free himself, but a stronger guy got hold of him and almost crushed him to death.

"Jackson!" Lilly shouted again as one of them put her over their shoulders and carried her into the village. Jackson watched helplessly as she was taken into one of the tents, others following in.

"Let go of me." Jackson said, which then wasn't a good idea because he was running out of air now. The native that held him dropped him to the ground where the others came with ropes. "Oh great, if I ever survive this, I'm going to have permanent rope burns."

They tied his wrists and ankles. They picked him up and took him to a different tent where they tied him to a pole.

"What, you're just going to leave me here?" He shouted back at them. They left the tent, closing the flap so it was completely dark.

I hope Lilly is doing ok…

"Hey, put me down!" Lilly said and started hitting the guy on the back as he took her inside a tent. He threw her down onto the ground and left, while the native girls came in. They all gasped and started talking amongst themselves, pointing out Lilly's blonde hair and blue eyes. They all went down on their knees at her and muttered something.

"Uh, hi?" Lilly said. They got up and looked at her clothes. They shook their heads and pushed her away as they went off looking for something.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Lilly said as they tugged at the sleeves of her shirt. She moved away from them, tearing the sleeves off. They looked at the material, a curious look in their eyes.

"Leave me alone!" Lilly screamed, but there were too many of them. Lilly fought back and tried to get out, but it was useless. But the end of it, the bottom half of her shirt was missing as was the sleeves and they were all fighting over the material.

"Whoa!" She said. Then some of them came in, a bowl of paint in their hands. It took two of them to hold Lilly still so they could paint something on her face. Lilly couldn't see what they were doing, but the brushes tickled her cheek and made her laugh.

They then started painting something on her arm and Lilly saw that they were only using the colour red.

"What is that?" Lilly said, indicating the design they were drawing on her arm.

"Fire." They said softly and then stood up. One of them picked Lilly up and opened the tent flap. Lilly stepped outside and then saw the rest of the natives in the village, standing there waiting for her. The ladies in the tent pushed her forwards and Lilly walked, looking around.

She walked down the path that the natives had created and stopped at a chair. One of them sat her down into it and put something on her head.

"Uh, thanks?" She said, not sure what was happening. The natives then moved out the way as some more of them came, carrying a chair with a tiny person sitting on top of it. The natives all bowed down to him and placed the chair down in front of Lilly.

"So you're the intruder?" He asked.

"You speak English?" Lilly asked.

"Yeah, I'm not really part of them." He indicated the natives. "They captured me and made me their king. Nothing wrong with that?"

"But they're cannibals!" Lilly said.

"Yeah, that was the only problem so while they ate the travellers, I managed to find some real food. Now you're here, you can help me escape!"

"So you're the king, yet you've been like a prisoner?" Lilly said.

"Exactly." He said. One of the natives then came up to them and said something to the little guy. He said something back and then turned to Lilly, smiling.

"You understand what they said?" Lilly asked.

"Yeah." He said.

"Well?"

"Oh, he said that they've found me a queen and that we're gonna eat the other intruder." He said really fast.

"Huh?" Lilly said and looked up. Two more natives came in with a poll. Tied to the poll was Oliver.

"Ah, found you Lilly." Oliver said.

"Ceremony begin!" Shouted the native.

"Wait, what ceremony?" Lilly asked.

"Uh, you're supposed to be my queen. My name is Rico by the way." He said. Lilly looked down at him and then up at Oliver. The whole thing was just too much for her, so she fainted.

Miley had fallen asleep in the cart on their way back. When she woke, she found herself in a cabin back in a ship. At first she thought she was back on The Satyr with Oliver and Lilly, but remembered they were dead now.

She got off the bed and walked out of the cabin and saw that she was on one of the palace's ships. Jake's ship. She ran towards the left side and saw they were still in harbour, they were still getting ready to set sail. Miley looked behind her, then sun had almost disappeared. She looked down at the ocean.

"Miley?" She turned around and saw Jake standing there. "I'm so glad you're safe."

"You're a murderer!" Miley screamed at him.

"What?" Jake asked, walking towards her.

"You killed Jackson, Lilly and Oliver!"

"I didn't, they were already dead when I arrived. I saved you from the same fate." Jake answered and reached out to touch Miley, but she swatted his hand away.

"They were not dead! They were still alive, you killed them!" She screamed and took a step backwards, hitting the side of the ship.

"I am not a murderer, you know that." Jake said. Miley shook her head and leaned back. "What are you doing?"

"There's no reason for me to live if my friends are dead." She said and sat on the side, moving backwards.

"Miley, no!" Jake shouted as she fell off the side of the ship and hit the water. She looked up as she sank down before she turned and swam towards the shore. Her friends couldn't be dead; maybe they managed to escape before Jake set the hut on fire. Miley resurfaced once she made it towards a different jetty and climbed out of the water.

"Hannah?" She heard someone say. She turned to see Donny, Matt, Dex and Danny standing there. "What are still doing here?" Donny asked.

"Lilly and Oliver are in trouble, I need you to help me find them." Miley said.

"Where are they? They said we were just staying here a little bit longer then planned and they disappeared." Matt said.

"Well, they went into the forest. I followed them but we got separated. Jackson is still with them and I need help to find them. Are you guys in or not?" Miley asked.

The guys looked at each other. "We can't leave without Lilly or Oliver." Dex said.

"Yeah, and it is Oliver's ship and if he ever found us, he'd kill us." Danny added in.

"Are you actually going to listen to her? Are you actually going to go save those two? I say we're better off without them." Donny said.

"All of us are in." Dex said, glaring at Donny. He sighed.

"Fine, I'll come too." He said.

Miley grinned at them. "Ok, let's go then."

Ok, I don't like this chapter that much, I' re-did it 3 times. First time Jackson and Oliver were about to be decapitated, then I changed it to Lilly and Jackson getting forced to marry, but I thought that must be rushing into things so I brought Rico into it. Don't worry, Miley will save all of them before anything happens.

After this, I'm not quiet sure what is to become of them, I got a million ideas of what can happen now. But first thing is first, do you want Rico to stay or should they leave him alone? And do you want Mikayla to make an appearance? Because if so, then I got bit plans for Miley and Oliver. As for Lilly and Jackson, well, you're just gonna have to wait and see, won't you?
