"I don't know Mel, I don't know." said jackson as he gazed out onto the ocean and then looked back at her.
"Eric could be in danger." stated Melissa.
"I know Mel, but Abby could kill us if we leave the beach." said Jackson.
I know." said Melissa.
"Ahhsiss, my rists hurt so bad." said Melissa.
"We got get these vines off of us, or..." Jackson paused.
"I know Jackson, but Abby has the knife." said Melissa.
"There has to be another way, we'res Lex we you need hem.' said Jackson.
Melissa gave a faint smile then it faded when she heard a rustle in the bushes.
'Jackson, there's something behind those bushes." whispered Melissa.
Jackson stood up, it was hard for hem because he couldn't use his hands but he got up as did Melissa. Jackson looked like he was ready to kick with his leg. Melissa stood next to hem, afraid but being strong. The bush rattled and then out popped Eric.
"Hey, Hey it's me." complained Eric in a low voice.
"Eric, your ok." said Melissa.
"Yea, I 've been dodgeing Abby all night. I fell asleep, and now I don't no were she is." stated Eric in a low voice.
"We'll at least your ok." said Melissa as she gave hem a comforting smile.
"I guess." said Eric.
"Guys what are we going to do Abby thinks right is wrong anf wrong is right. I'm not going to lie guys, She will kill us if we don't fight back." said Jackson.
"Why don't we just run?" asked eric.
"If we run she will know that we went back to Daley, Nathan, Taylor and Lex. She could hurt Lex if she wanted to. We can't let that happen." stated Jackson.
"Jackson's right Eric, we gotta fight back weather we want to or not." said Melissa.
"I don't but I want her off my back and if fighting her is what I have to do then I will do it." said Eric.
"And no matter what happens we have to stay strong." said jackson.
"We're never going to stand alone." siad Melissa as she gave her friends a smile.
Then all of a sudden Eric's smile faded when he heard foot steps behind hem he turned around and Abby was standing only a few feet away from hem.
"Abby please don't do anything to us." said Melissa as she clutched Jacksons hand and he clutched hers. Jackson held hers as tight as ever.
"Not to you guys, but to me." said Abby as she held the knife to her chest.
"Goodbye." said Abby.
Abby clutched the knife and she moved it towards her checst. It hit her fast, she fell to the ground. It happened so fast.
"Abby!" cried Melissa. Melissa tried to run to her body, but Jackson pulled her away.
"Mel, it's to late." said Jackson as he held her hand. Melissa let go of his hand and buried her face into her hands. Jackson walked up to Abby and bent down to check her pulse, even though he knew she wa gone. Eric squat on the other side of Abby and looked down at her. Tears were in his eyes. Melissa bent down next to Jackson as more tears came down her face. Jackson put his arm around her. She quickly buried her face into his chest. He hugged her tightly.
"Mel, it's ok, it's ok." whispered Jackson into her ear as he hugged her.
Blood was all over the sand.
"So chief do... do.. we ... bury.. her?" asked Eric as a tear came down his face, he quickly wiped it away.
"I think it would be best." said Jackson.
"So do I." said Melissa as she picked up her head from Jackson's chest.
So the three got to work. Eric and Jackson dug a whole in the ground, Melissa found 2 sticks of bamboo, she then tied them togeather with some vines she put flowers on the cross that she made from the bamboo as we'll. When she was finished She found a piece of bark and carved something on it with a rock.
Melissa arrived with the cross. Then Jackson, Eric, and Melissa put her body in the whole, they put her journal in it as we'll, it didn't feel right to read it. When she was finished being buried Melissa stuck the cross in the sand she then took a few rocks and made a small circle.
"Mel, what are you doing?" asked Jackson.
Melissa then put the piece of bark in the center of the rocks. Eric and Jackson both then looked at it and it read: R.I.P. Abby. She was strong
Jackson and Eric both smiled as did Melissa. They then stood there for a few minutes in silencee. Then they got there packs ready.
"Everyone ready?" asked Jackson.
"I'm ready chief." said Eric.
"Mel, you ready?" asked Jackson.
Melissa turned her head toward the grave and the nback at her to friends.
"Mel, Abby would want you and all of us to be strong." said Jackson.
"Yea Mel, and just think of seeing Daley, Nathan, Lex, and Taylor." said Eric as he gave her a patt on the back and smiled.
"I'm ready now." said Melissa as she gave a real smile.
"Cool, let's go." said Jackson.
With Jackson leading followed by Melissa and then Eric the three traveled with excitment to see there friends again. Even though they didn't find rescue and they lost Abby, they learned that they need to be strong.
