Chapter 2
"This island is not on the map!" Lex yelled at everyone in the huddle. Everyone turned to look at him. Jay was about to voice his opinion when a voice spoke from behind them.
"He's right, you know?" Re-Nee said, stepping from the shadows. Everyone jumped as they realized they weren't alone. "You won't find it anywhere. Now tell me, what you are doing here?" Again, Jay was going to speak, but a mocha colored girl stepped in front of him.
"Danni?" she sneered. "You're actually alive?"
"Amazing, isn't it Ebony?" /So this is the girl I've heard so much about, / Re-Nee thought. /Well, this is going to be interesting. / It got even more interesting when Bray showed up with Ved and Tina.
"Bray?"
"Amber?"
"Ved?"
"Jay?" /These are my friends' lost loved ones. / Ignoring the reunions, Re- Nee focused her attentions on those still in the boat. They all looked so exhausted and hungry. "Enough," Re-Nee said. "We need to get some food for the children and then get them cleaned up. Follow me back to the house." Turning, she left the others to follow her.
"We can't trust her," Danni said as she reached Re-Nee's side.
"And whom are you talking about?" Re-Nee said, looking back at the group. Bray had tears flowing down his face as he was able to hold his son for the first time. It broke her heart to see it, but Re-Nee knew their relationship wouldn't last forever, especially when Bray still loved Amber and their child.
Danni followed Re-Nee's gazed. "You knew it would end. I told you it was best not to lose your heart to him..."
"Enough," said Tina, coming up on Re-Nee's other side. Looking at Re-Nee, she answered the previously asked question. "I think she means Ebony."
"Danni, I know you had some problems with her in the past, but people change. We'll see as time passes," Re-Nee said as she picked up the pace.
