Aria’s POV

The sound came again.

Crunch, crunch, crunch.

I couldn’t move.

Orion stood in front of me, his entire body tense and the fire between us crackled, throwing orange light across his face.

“Did you hear that?” I whispered.

“Yes.”

Another branch snapped.

This time, from somewhere farther to our left.

Orion picked up the knife we’d found earlier.

“Stay here.”

I immediately grabbed his arm “No don’t go anywhere”

“Aria.”

“I’m not staying here alone.”

He looked at me for a moment and then he

    Aria’s POVThe sound came again.Crunch, crunch, crunch.I couldn’t move.Orion stood in front of me, his entire body tense and the fire between us crackled, throwing orange light across his face.“Did you hear that?” I whispered.“Yes.”Another branch snapped.This time, from somewhere farther to our left.Orion picked up the knife we’d found earlier.“Stay here.”I immediately grabbed his arm “No don’t go anywhere”“Aria.”“I’m not staying here alone.”He looked at me for a moment and then he sighed.“Fine but stay behind me.”I nodded and we both stared into the darkness, a few seconds passed then a small animal suddenly darted through the bushes.I screamed and Orion jumped, the animal disappeared into the trees and we stood there frozen then Orion slowly lowered the knife.I stared at him and he stared at me.“You screamed my ears off.”“So did you.”“I did not.”“You absolutely did.”“I made a noise.”I burst out laughing and he shook his head “Don’t.”“You were scared!”“I w

    Aiden’s POVI hadn’t slept properly in days.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw the same thing.Aria disappearing beneath the waves and Orion being pulled away.Their hands slipping apart and then nothing.I sat in the command room, staring at the large map spread across the table.There were circles drawn around different sections of the ocean, several islands had been marked.I hated the feedback of every single one.“Still nothing?”I looked up and Andrew stood across the room with his arms folded.He looked exhausted.Lily was sitting beside him, her hands wrapped around a cup of coffee she hadn’t touched.Orion’s parents were on the other side of the room, speaking quietly with one of the officers.Riley sat beside me.Andrew pulled out a chair and sat beside me.“We’re going to find them.”I nodded. “I know.”But my voice didn’t sound convincing, Andrew looked at me. “You don’t believe that.”“I do.”“You’re lying.”I sighed.“I just…”I couldn’t finish and Andrew leaned back. “

    Orion’s POVI stared into the trees and nothing moved, I slowly stepped in front of Aria. “Stay behind me.”She immediately grabbed my arm “What was that?”“I don’t know.”“Could it be an animal?”“Maybe.”She tightened her grip. “That isn’t reassuring.”“I wasn’t trying to reassure you.”She gave me an annoyed look, I scanned the trees again and saw nothing.“Maybe it was just a branch,” I said.Aria frowned. “You don’t believe that.”“No.”“Great.”I looked at her. “Come on.”“Where?”“Back to the house.”She nodded and neither of us spoke as we walked.I kept looking over my shoulder, every few seconds, I stopped and listened.Eventually, the little wooden house came into view.I let out a breath and Aria hurried inside, I stayed outside for another moment, studying the forest.Something had moved, I knew it but whether it was an animal or something else, I couldn’t tell.I finally stepped inside.“You’re sure we’re safe here?” she asked.I sat opposite her. “No.”Her eyes widened

    Aiden’s POVLily was speaking with one of the officers “They found a body.” Andrew said and it felt like everything inside me froz.“A body?” I repeated and Andrew nodded.“It was found farther down the coastline.”My stomach twisted. “No.”“We don’t know who it is yet.”“Where is it located, we need to go and confirm if it belongs to any of them”Andrew gave me the location. “I’ll take us there.”Lily immediately stepped forward. “I’m coming too.”I quickly texted Noah and Riley, my phone was blowing up with notifications immediately I told them.The drive felt endless and nobody spoke much.I stared out the window, my mind kept creating images I didn’t want to see.Aria and Orion, my sister and my best friend were missing, I couldn’t lose them.I couldn’t.When we finally arrived at thre station , the commander met us.“I need you to understand something,” he said carefully. “We haven’t confirmed the identity.”I nodded. “Let’s just see.”Andrew placed a hand on my shoulder.“We’re

    Aria’s POV“Are you sure you’re okay?” he asked again.I nodded. “Yes im totally fine”“Nothing hurts?”“Nope.”He stared at me for another second and then he slowly let go, my feet touched the ground gently “There.”I straightened my clothes. “Thank you.”“You’re welcome.”He looked up at the tree and then at me.“You’re not climbing anything else.”I rolled my eyes. “ Ha ha i wasn’t planning to.”“You were literally climbing a tree thirty seconds ago.”“That was different.”“How?”“I wanted to get some fruits.”He sighed. “You’re so helpful.”I rolled my eyes at him and bent down and picked up the fruits that had fallen during my little adventure.“Come on.”“Where are we going?”“To wash them.”We found a small stream not too far from the house, the water was clear enough to see the stones underneath, I crouched beside it and washed the fruits carefully.Orion sat nearby, he was still moving carefully because of his injuries and we didn’t have any painkillers here, I couldn’t imag

    Aria’s POVI woke up to the sound of birds chirping so loudly and happily, for a few seconds, I didn’t remember where I was.I stared at the wooden ceiling above me, blinking slowly then everything came rushing back and I groaned, I ahd convinced myself everything was as just a bad dream.I immediately turned my head toward the other side of the room, it was empty.My heart jumped. “Orion?”No answer, I sat up quickly and the blanket fell from my shoulders.“Orion?”Still nothing, I looked around the room and the little wooden chair was empty.The cup of water we’d been using was still on the table, the fire had burned down to a few glowing pieces of wood.But Orion was gone, panic immediately started rising in my chest.“No, no, no…”I jumped out of bed.Maybe he had gone outside and he had just gone to look around, I rushed toward the door and pushed it open.Sunlight hit my face and I squinted.The island looked completely different in daylight.Yesterday, everything had been da
