Chapter 2: Maroon
Jared's P.o.V
Date: Unknown
Location: The Ocean
I wished it wasn't real. But it was. I couldn't believe it, of what I was seeing with my own eyes. I had to admit it, that this was the saddest moment in my life. I had just lost my parents. The ones that took care of me when I was a baby. The ones that taught me to be good. The ones that gave me more responsibility, when I was getting older. Both gone, with my very own eyes.
I didn't want to lose my sister too, because I knew that Emily was sucked in as well. I just kept shouting "Emily! Emily!" Still I didn't see her or heard her. All I saw was this bright light, surrounding me and all I heard was... nothing. I didn't know what to do. All I could do is just yell her name over and over again.
But then I didn't see the light anymore. The portal seemed to disappear. Now I saw these stormy clouds, and then I realize... I was falling! But falling into what!? When I turned around I saw this large mass of water. Then I realize again, that I was falling into the middle of an ocean!
When my body smacked itself into the water, all I saw was darkness. I quickly swam to the surface, for air to breathe. I gasped for air at the surface. Now, all I saw was these currents rushing through me, lighting striking at a far distance, and rain pouring onto me. Oh my God, I was in the middle of a storm! I quickly panicked. Now I really didn't know what to do. I was too young to die! I panicked even more.
But then, I saw something at a close distance. I quickly figured out what it was, it was a small boat. I'm saved! I quickly swam towards it and climb myself into the boat. The boat was not that bad. It only had a white cover on one side of it. This boat was the only thing to keep me alive. I crawled slowly to the cover and when I open it, there was nothing inside. It was perfect for me to be safe. When I got inside the only things I did was, plugging my ears and closing my eyes, waiting for this "madness" to end.
Unknown Days Later...

I was sleeping for um... I don't know how many days I slept. I open my eyes slowly. All I heard was small waves drifting close to me. I peeked out of the cover and saw sand and waves drifting onto the shore.
I open the cover and came out of the boat. My feet touch the gravel. My feet hadn't touched anything since that night. A tear slowly came out from my left eye. I was alone... for now. But I was glad I survived the storm.
I then turned my head left and right and all I saw was more water. I realized, I landed on a small shore. I fully turned around and saw this huge, high cliff. I still had some strength in me. I hadn't climbed a cliff before, but it was the only way for me to see more land.
I did had my journal with me. It had gotten a little wet during the storm. But I did lost my glasses when I hit the water. It won't be easy without my glasses, because I won't have full eyesight. But, I'll give it a shot. So I hold my journal on my teeth and started to climb.
Climbing for the first time wasn't that hard for me. I did had a few slips, but I was still ok. When I almost got to the top, I heard movements and voices. I didn't know what kind of person was it from, but I needed to find out. I think they must've heard my movements too. I hope they don't attack me.
When I reach my hands on the edge of the cliff, I raised my head up. But suddenly, out of nowhere, a fireball was shooting right towards me. I quickly went back down, dodging the fireball.
"Holy crap!" I said, losing grip on one of my hands.
The other hand still had some grip on the edge, enough to regain my balance. My journal was still on my teeth. I needed to say something quickly before another fireball tries to hit me.
I rosed my head again, spitting out my journal, and shouted, "DON'T SHOOT! P-PL-PLEASE! PLEASE LISTEN! I'VE BEEN MAROON HERE!" While I was saying that, I was trying to get on the edge of the cliff.
When I stood up, my eyes were so wide open, my jaw dropped as well. At that moment I was staring...at...them.
