로그인Aria’s POVI woke up with a strange feeling in my chest, for a moment, I didn’t remember where I was and then I felt the hard ground beneath me.I remembered our kiss and then my cheeks warmed and I quickly looked away, now was definitely not the time to think about that.We were still trapped on an island with three psychopaths who had already tried to stop us from being rescued.I sat up carefully and Orion stirred awake “Aria?”“I’m here.”He opened his eyes “Are you okay?”“Yeah I guess.”He pushed himself up and his face was still a little bruised from the fight and I reached toward him.“Your face.”“I’m fine.”“You don’t look fine.”He gave me a small smile “Neither do you.”I rolled my eyes “Very funny.”For a moment, neither of us spoke and then we heard footsteps, my entire body went rigid and Orion immediately looked toward the entrance.“Did you hear that?”I nodded and the footsteps became louder and then we heard voices, ome sounded like Janice.“Check inside.”My stom
Aiden's POVWe searched until there was nothing left to search.The helicopter circled the island again and then another one joined it.Boats moved along the coastline while the search team spread out across the nearby islands.Every time someone returned, I looked up expecting to hear the words I had been waiting for.We found them.Instead, I kept hearing the same thing "Nothing."I stood beside the command vehicle, staring at the latest satellite image.The island was small, it shouldn't have been possible for two people to disappear from it but somehow, they had."Search the eastern side again."I pointed at the map "The first team may have missed something."The officer looked at me "We already searched that area twice.""Then search it a third time.""Aiden."I turned and Andrew was standing behind me, his expression told me he was exhausted too."We can't keep sending people over every inch of that island.""Why not?""Because we've searched it already ""No, we haven't.""Aide
Aria's POVThe helicopter was still above us. I could hear the blades cutting through the air as I stood in the clearing, waving my arms frantically."HELP!"Orion was beside me."OVER HERE!"For one beautiful moment, I believed it was over and we had been found, Aiden would be coming for me.My family would be waiting and I would finally get off this horrible island, I laughed through my tears."Orion..." He looked at me "We're going home."I nodded "Yes."The helicopter moved closer and Its searchlight swept across the trees before settling directly on us.I could see the light reflecting off the ocean, I raised both hands "PLEASE!"I could barely contain myself and then Jason grabbed my arm.I turned around sharply "What are you doing?"His expression was completely different now, the fear he'd shown when the helicopter arrived was gone.There was something cold in his eyes."Let go of me creep." I snapped He tightened his grip "You're not leaving."My heart dropped "What?"Orion
Aria's POVIt seemed we were playing hide and seek with whoever was on the island leaving footprints and sneaking up on us.We were in the shelter ome evening when Janice immediately rushed outside and froze.Creepy much."Who is out there, Janice?" Orion's question hung in the air and I stood behind him, my heart pounding as I stared at the entrance of the shelter. Janice was trembling, her eyes fixed on the darkness outside."Janice?" Orion repeated.She shook her head "We need to go.""You're not going anywhere until you tell us what's happening."A loud rustling came from outside and I flinched then Orion immediately raised his knife."Stay behind me," he ordered.I didn't argue and he took a cautious step toward the entrance, and I followed him with my eyes. Janice remained frozen near the fire."Orion, be careful," I whispered.He glanced back at me "Stay here, Aria."Before I could respond, something moved outside.A shadow passed across the entrance and Orion raised his knif
Aiden's POVI woke up before my alarm again, I haven’t been able to get a good sleep, who could?.I sat up and reached for my phone, there was no new messages and my heart sank, I checked the time and opened the last message from Andrew.Still searching for them today, get out of bed and do something productive and don’t loose hope.I stared at those words for a long time.Don't lose hope, everyone kept saying that but nobody could tell me where my sister was.I got out of bed and walked to the window.Outside, the sky was still dark, the search had been going on for days now almost two weeks now.At first, I had believed we'd find them within hours then it became the next morning and then the next day and now every hour felt heavier than the one before it.My phone vibrated and I grabbed it immediately, it was a message from Andrew.Come downstairs we have a meeting with the search team.I quickly put on a shirt and left my room. When I reached downstairs, Andrew was already there
Orion’s POV“Where exactly were you going?”I looked at Aria, then glanced toward the trees where Janice had disappeared.Aria folded her arms. “I was going to find out what she’s doing.”“By following her into the forest?”“Yes, Orion that’s usually how you find out what someone is doing.”I sighed, dropping the small animal I’d caught beside the pile of fruits “Can you stop being difficult for five minutes?”“Can you stop defending someone who is obviously lying?”I stared at her.“Janice isn’t the enemy, Aria.”“You don’t know that.”“And neither do you.”“Exactly and that’s the problem!”She threw her hands into the air, I rubbed my forehead, I had been gone for barely an hour, and somehow the two of them had managed to turn the shelter into a battlefield.“What exactly has she done that makes you so convinced she’s lying?”Aria stared at me as though I had just asked the stupidest question in the world.“Seriously?”“Yes. Seriously.”“She accused me of pushing her when I didn’t e
