"We need to take shelter guys!" Uriah yells.

"Uri chill. We're already inside!" I say.

"No in a closet or bathroom! Come on!"

We all run after him and I almost bump into him when he stops short in front of a door. He opens it to reveal a hidden room under the stairs. We all file in and I'm squeezed between Four and Uriah.

"Guys this is crazy! What if we... How are we gonna..." Marlene stutters.

"It's okay. We're gonna be fine," Uriah says hugging her to his chest.

Outside I can hear the wind howling and what sounds like wood breaking apart.

"Okay." Zeke says. "I think we'll be safe-" But he never gets to finish his sentence because just then the roof of our hidden room is blown off. The rain starts to beat down on my head and the wind is really strong.

Just then a gust of wind knocks down one of the walls and it falls backward. We all spill out onto the remains of the house which is just peaces of wood and metal.

I turn just in time to see a piece of wood come flying toward me. I try to duck but I'm not fast enough and it hits me in the forehead, sending me flying into Four.

"You okay?" He asks helping me up.

I reach up and feel my forehead. My fingers come away wet with blood but there's nothing I can do about that now. "Yeah, I'm good."

I feel the wind pressing against me, pushing me toward the water. I look around and see everyone fighting against the wind. No one seems hurt though. A sudden gust of wind knocks me down and I my head goes under water. I start to panic. How did I get to the ocean so fast?

I sit up gasping but a huge wave comes crashing over me, pulling me out deeper into the water. I try to get back to the beach but the current's too strong.

"Help!" I scream. My dad always told me that if you're pulled out that I should relax and swim to the side. Unfortunately, under the circumstances, it's hard for me to stay calm. I scream again right before a wave that must be at least fourteen feet crashes on top of me. I swim too the surface and scream again.

I'm about to give up when I hear, "Hold on! I'm coming!"

Four.

I see him swimming toward me. I grab his arm to keep afloat.

"We need to get back to the-" Four starts but cuts off when he looks at something behind me.

"What?" I turn and see a wave that must be at least seventeen feet.

"Okay when I tell you to you have to take a deep breath and hold it for as long as you can!" Four shouts.

I nod and he says, "One! Two! Three!"

I suck in a deep breath and the wave crashes on top of us. I lose my hold on Four and start to swim up. I gasp when I reach the surface but am pushed under almost immediately as another wave crashes over me.

I swim back up to the surface and hear Four yelling my name.

"Four!" I yell. "Four I'm over here!"

Suddenly another huge wave crashes over me and I take in some water. I start to sink. I have no more energy to swim. My lungs scream from the lack of oxygen.

My eyes start to close as I sink lower when suddenly someone grabs my arm. I'm pulled to the surface and gasp for breath, coughing. I feel a strong arm wrap around me to keep me above water.

I open my eyes to see Four. "We need to swim to the side," He says.

I gasp again. "I don't think... Don't think I can."

"I know but we have to go now. Another round of waves will be here any minute."

I take a deep breath and nod. We swim as fast as I can. The only thing that keeps me going is the adrenalin.

Finally we reach the beach. I collapse onto the sand trying to catch my breath.

"Tris I know you're tired but we have to get farther away from the water or the wind'll blow you back out," Four says.

I nod and pull myself up. We run toward where the house used to be. Four pulls me over to a fallen tree and I see everyone sitting under the fallen branches. It looks kind of like a cave.

Once we're sitting down I see that Uriah has his arms around Marlene, Will has his arms around Chris and Zeke has his arms around Shauna. They look so cute together I almost smile.

"Are you smiling?" Uri asks.

I shrug. "You all just look so cute together."

I cold breeze blows through the branches and I shiver.

Now I guess we just wait.
