Noah smiled at her enthusiasm for the creature, love showing in his gaze. The finale of the movie “Jaws” ran through my head. “Do we need to leave? I don't want to upset a shark.” I didn't know what the proper procedure regarding sharks and boats was. There wasn't exactly a lot of shark education taught in landlocked states. Izzy grinned and shook her head. “Oh no, you're fine. She doesn't care as long as you don't go down and try to pet her.” “That wasn't on my list of things to do today,” I assured her. In fact, I was pretty sure my feet were staying up in the boat for the rest of our trip. “Why are you tracking her?”

"And you will not win this fight. It is my will that you go with these soldiers, and as my apprentice you must obey. As much as it pains me, past this night, you will not be allowed shelter in my house." There was a finality in her voice that bludgeoned Iris's heart, and suddenly the shelf of fine glass bowls, the drawers of neatly sorted candles, the strings of garlic draped over the wooden crossbeam, all of it, all the things Iris had grown up with and built her world around, seemed foreign and filled her mouth with the taste of ashes. Shoving herself away from the table, her chair screeching against the floor, Iris ran out the door before Mother Hall could see her tears and sought solace

Lightning exploded outside. The journal slipped from his hands. Falling open. And across the first page— written in large, hurried handwriting— was a warning. A warning written twenty years ago. A warning nobody was supposed to read. It said: If you're reading this, the island has returned. Run. To Be Continued...

They all sat in there, not knowing what to do. Their lives had been uprooted. Their hiding spot has been exposed. an enraged alpha king will come their way one day or another. It was no longer safe in this small island. “We can move to the nearby town. I heard part of it is haunted. We can maybe hide there.... what do you guys suggest...” Raven hopefully looked at them. “There is no natural barrier like the whirlpools. It’s not safe.” Matt replied massaging his forehead.

She pouted, doing her most effective cat pout and puppy eyes. "I was going to let you make your own decisions before but when this new information came in last night, I had to change my mind. The decision has been made. You are staying on the island till further notice!" It was as if a judgment of condemnation was pronounced in a courtroom. Silence descended on the room. The kids were a little shocked while Megan was confused. Even if such dangers exist, wouldn't the kids be safer if they were close to their parents and KuLaa? In a few weeks, they will be leaving for the human realm. Are they going to just leave the kids like that? What if something happens while they are away?

Mia ran into the room dragging her little backpack, “mommy, is my swimsuit in there? I want to swim in the ocean the second we get there.” Isabel knelt down and zipped the suitcase. “Yes baby it is right on top. We are going to have so much fun. Daddy picked the best island ever.” Zack followed right behind her holding his toy truck. “Will there be sharks? I want to see sharks but not close.” Isaac laughed and picked Zack up. “No sharks close to us buddy, we are staying in a safe spot. You and Mia are going to build the biggest sandcastle ever, mommy and I will help.”

“She’s not. Those videos are real. Which means my mother goes to prison if I try to stop the wedding.” “So what are you going to do?” I look out the window. Boston appearing in the distance. MIT waiting. My future. And behind me—across the Atlantic—Mateo being forced into a marriage. My mother facing murder charges. My father’s final manipulation still controlling us from the grave. “I don’t know,” I whisper. The plane descends. Landing gear drops. Boston getting closer. My phone buzzes. Final message from Isabella: *The wedding is in 3 days. I suggest you use that time wisely. Stay in Boston, or watch your mother get arrested for murder. Your choice.*

She's acting weird lately. "Quinn?" I whispered, kissing her forehead, "Don't do anything stupid, Quinn. I know you." She never answered back. "Come back to me alive, okay?" As her eyes began to fill with tears, I wrapped my arms around her in a tight embrace. "I will, Quinn. I promise." The Island will be shut down in a few hours. Two super jet small ferries pick up all the employees at once. Everything is on high alert. Norman and the other boys are making their moves, roving around the Island.

"The state government issued warnings to evacuate. This isn't a joke." "Mrs. Stafford, I think Eden has a point. Maybe we should just shut down for a day…" Even Mom looked stunned by this. After all, she knew perfectly well that this was exactly how Isabel had died in the previous life. "Shut down? Shut down what?" Isabel suddenly whirled on the coworkers who'd spoken, screaming at them. "If the windows really shatter, we'll huddle together! With all our combined weight, there's no way the wind could blow us away!"

" She finally said Derek said in my mind that he didn't like the idea. What if they felt what she was doing and we were sealed in there while they were all locked out and in the open, easy prey so to speak. I voiced Derek's concerns to Shirer , she nodded and started pacing. While we were there I might as well tell her what me and Derek had decided also. " When we get back to the island , we wish for Joshua, Blake , Andrea and Kara to go to the pool. We will give them their own choice of whether they go in. But we need them now, Shirer . Them being clueless as to what was actually going on could also be dangerous for them ".
