Nana The night was getting cold, and I pulled Qin closer into my arms and stroked her hair. My mind was in a whirl of confusion, but as far as I knew I still loved this woman; with her smile and her caring personality, I wouldn't let go of her for the world. Even if I knew she was an assassin. I softly touched the cut beside her eye and pressed my lips to it. No matter what happened I would keep her safe, I told myself. Bliz was pacing up and down. "Where on earth could he be!" he cursed aloud. "I'm sure Charlie should be fine." I calmly replied. "And you would know that how?" he retorted. "How will we answer Jack?!" "That's Uncle Jack. And we'll go look for Charlie in the morning. We've all just been through a rough night, we're in no condition to go exploring." Bliz roared in frustration. "Some stupid boat trip!" and he stormed out of the cave. "Hey! Where are you going?" "To breathe some fresh air. Damn it!" I sighed. This was going to be difficult. Danzo "Oh no!! We've lost Naomi!" Ex was hopping, skipping and walking round the fire. "Ex please, just sit down, you're giving me a headache." I took a small piece of wood and tossed it into the flame. It crackled and some small sparks flew out. "Now you're one to talk Dan. It's your fault we got separated from her in the first place!" Ex stopped for a moment, and soon continued with her 'workout'. "What?! What do you mean it's my fault? We didn't even see her when the ship was in chaos! And I got my favourite shoes wet!" I held up my favourite pair of black Vans. "Now this," I said flinging it around,"is one sad story." "Urgh!" Ex was getting frustrated "You're such an idiot!" Suddenly we heard the bushes next to us rustle. Out stepped a couple. The guy was wearing a black vest over a white shirt, with black pants and he was holding hands with a girl who was wearing a flowery sun dress. "Hey." he said. "I'm Joe, could me and my girl join you? We've been walking for a long time." "Umm, sure." I replied, just as Ex retaliated, "No way!!" Joe raised his brow. "Erm, sorry ma'am if we will be intruding your time with your boyfriend-" "What?! No! We're not together!" Both Ex and I quickly replied in unison. I quickly tried to recover the situation. "Please join us. We're just colleagues, and she's just a little upset because we got separated from a friend" "Yes please." Ex quietly said. Joe and his girlfriend took a seat by the fire. "By the way, I'm Danzo, and she's Extasy, but you can call us Dan and Ex." "Taylor" the girl introduced herself. "So, rough day huh?" I casually asked. "For all of us," Joe replied. "It was just so sudden when everything went haywire." I nodded, and the four of us just sat in silence, trying to absorb everything in.
Naomi "Haha! I bet I'll outrun you!" Qin shouted. "No way!" I laughed. The two of us were head to head, running through the woods. Jumping over tree roots, sliding under branches and racing in and out of dirt paths covered by autumn leaves. All of a sudden, I slipped on a wet rock and I quickly grabbed onto Qin. "Wha-?!" she squealed. "Oops! Sorry!" I apologised as the two of us rolled down the hill. "Ahhhhhhhhhhh!" we screamed in unison. We quickly made our way to the bottom and Qin landed right beside me he face in the ground. "Damn it Naomi! Are you trying to kill me?" she said, her voice muffled. I turned to lie on my back. "Sorry Qin." I sat up and felt a sudden pain on my left arm. Warm liquid was dripping down my elbow... ... My eyes suddenly jerked open. "Damn it." I cursed. My head was throbbing, and my left arm was burning. My eyes scanned the surroundings. "Where on earth am I..." I was lying face down on a long stretch of beach, and a black duffel bag was sitting right beside me. I groaned and turned to lay on my back. "Where am I?"
Charlie My head was whirling. My surroundings all seemed to be furiously just bouncing up and down. We were on a vehicle I think. I could hear the sound of the motor whirring. I blinked hard, but my senses were in a mess, all I heard were voices, more voices, and the sound of a candy being unwrapped. "Here, have some." a well built man with red hair and blue eyes stuffed a Snicker Bar into my hands. I held it both hands and gingerly tore open the wrapper. My hands were shivering from the adrenaline rush. "Where are we?" I asked softly. "Sorry bud, can't tell you that." the red hair dude turned to look out the window. It was dark outside. "Am I going to die?" He burst out laughing. "Not a chance! At this moment, you're worth more alive. I can guarantee you kid, you won't die- at least not in our hands." I wasn't sure whether to be relieved. I took a bite off the Snicker bar in my hands. The chocolate quickly melted in my mouth, revealing the sweet caramel and nuts underneath. I was hungry, and the Snicker Bar was helping me tide over that. I quickly finished it up and let my mind wander. Thinking back to the Chaos that happened on the ship. All I remembered was that I was standing before a woman in a White trench coat, and by her sides were 2 others. One was the red haired dude sitting beside me, the other was a relatively short lady with a lollipop in her mouth. The next thing I knew, I felt a sharp pain on my neck, and I blacked out, the last thing I saw were the walls shaking, and the pair of Amber coloured eyes, staring straight at me.
The vehicle finally slowed to a stop. It was pitch darkness outside. The red haired guy turned to me. "Wait here." he whispered. Before I could reply, he slid open the vehicle door and jumped out. Wait, Jumped out? What kind of vehicles was I on? I thought to myself. All I heard were feet walking on gravel, and some hush voices. All I could see were faint shadows of my surroundings, dimly lit by a green lamp. I looked at the open door and though I could not see a thing, I was tempted to jump off and escape. Thoughts were racing through my mind, what would I do? Where would I go? Suddenly, a young lady with a lollipop propped in her mouth jumped in. "Hey Charlie. You comfy?" "Who are you?" I replied. "You can call me Ninz." I was silent. "Anyway," she continued "buckle up! We're heading off again." "Where to?" I inquired. "You don't have to know." She jammed the door shut and the vehicle started moving again, this time it was speeding along. I could now only make out the faint shape of a snake tattoo coiling around Ninz's arm. It's eyes were red and staring at me. I swore I saw it move.

Qin I felt something tickling my face. I opened my eyes and saw Nana asleep, his face just hanging above mine. I touched his face and pressed my lips to his. It was cold. Nana stirred. "Hey babe," he smiled, his eyes looking straight into mine. I gave him another kiss. "You alright Nana?" He chuckled. "I was more worried about you. I'm fine." I rested my head on his lap and closed my eyes. I felt him touch the cut beside my eye, and I held his hand. Sitting up, I asked, " Now that you know the truth about me. The truth about who I really am, will you leave me?" I looked straight in his eyes, hoping to catch a hint of regret in his eyes, there was none. Instead, I saw a smile, love and concern. "No babe. I'll never leave you." he held my face in his hands and swept my fringe from my face. I was relieved, but at the same time, a guilt was eating into me. I had kept the truth from him, while he always poured out his heart to me. Even now, I knew there were some things I still couldn't bring myself to tell him. I smiled and stood up to stretch. "I wonder where she went." I commented. "Hmm," Nana stood up beside me. "That girl with you on the ship?" I nodded. "I wonder why she ran off when the ship was sinking." "To escape?" "No, she would never do that. Naomi would always put other before herself. If she had to die for a friend, she would have willingly." I shook my head. "She kept talking about something important." "Hmm." Nana seemed deep in thought. "We can go look for her if you want." "No. Her mission, has now become mine. We'll search for Charlie. If the whole ship capsized, majority of the survivors must have made it here like we have. Charlie must be on this island. Only question is..." "How big the island is." Nana completed my sentence. I nodded, and we both stood in silence until Bliz walked into the cave and broke it. "Hey love birds. I've cooked up some breakfast from the things that I've found around. We gotta eat up before going to search for our little cousin." Charlie The skies brightened up and shone onto my face, waking me up. I looked out the window. Rows and rows of trees were passing by. Nothing but trees. I turned around looking for Ninz to ask her where we were, but she was nowhere in sight. In fact, I was alone in the vehicle. Suddenly the vehicle jerked to a stop. "Whoa!" I would have hit my head from the inertia, had someone not conveniently buckled me in. Slowly the vehicle started to move again, but this time, really slowly. I again turned my attention outside. A fast shower of water washed the window! We were driving into a waterfall! However strange it may have been, we drove into a waterfall from dry land, and on the opposite side was not a cave, but a huge river of water. The vehicle stopped again and the door opened. A huge bulky man stepped in. "Hello squirt. Remember me?" he grinned. "You're the dude that carried me out of my room!" "You got that right. Name's Cyber. You better remember that for the day when I will break your neck." he gave a huge laugh. "Are you people going to kill me?" Cyber turned to look at me. "I wish I could mate. But i've not been given the honour of doing so. Someone you know may be doing that dirty job for us." he snickered. "Now don't hold your breath. We're going-" he pointed downwards. "Down?!" I panicked. "Deep into the water. Don't panic fry. This girl will keep you safe." he banged the vehicle roof with his fist. "R-right." I was definitely nervous. Naomi I opened my eyes again. This time it was really bright and blinding. "Urgh." I groaned. Suddenly I heard a gun cock. "Who are you?" the voice was confident belonging to a man. "I have no idea." I replied. He pressed the barrel of the gun to my head, and I felt the heat of it against my skin. "Don't be cocky." My head hurt. "I'm not being sarcastic here. My name is Naomi. Beyond that... beyond..." "Beyond what!" "Damn, I feel like I'm forgetting something. I cannot remember. The last thing I remember... Qin! Hank took her away! Damn! Where is he?!" I tried to get up but the annoying man pushed me down again, my face smacked into the sand. "How do I know I can trust you?" he asked. "You can't. And I know I can't trust you either. You can keep me here, or we can go look for Qin together." "Fine." he lifted up the gun and I stood up. I turned to look at him. He wore a bloodied White sailor uniform. "Thank you." "Whatever," he replied. "Name's Josh." he stretched out his hand and I returned the handshake. "That yours?" he pointed at a black duffel bag on the ground. "I-I honestly don't know." I replied. And pressed my fingers to my temple, my head hurt. "Are you alright?" he appeared concerned. "Yeah I'm fine." "Okay," he grabbed the bag and carried like a haversack. "This baby is stocked up with weapons and ammo, we'll need it." I silently nodded. "And it looks like you're well stocked up too." he pointed at the weapons I had strapped around my waist. "I guess..." I said softly. Josh started to march into the dense greenery. "We have to get moving if we are going to save your friend. She was on the ship with you no?" "She was on a ship? Where?" Josh furrowed his eye brows. "Weren't you on the ship that capsized?" I shook my head. 'What was this man talking about? What ship?' I thought to myself. TO BE CONTINUED Again. Thank you for reading. Please feel free to give any suggestions on my wall, or if you would like this to be discontinued or if it's getting boring. Lemme know! Loves! Nay Nay
Yay! Problem Solved! So the point is that I solved my problem, so I'll have more time to write! Yay! That's if anyone still reads this, seeing as many fantastic writers way better than me have started popping up. But! I'm determined to finish this story, so I'll write till it ends! Love, Naomi.
Danzo Ex was whining non stop, and it was starting to get annoying. We were out looking for food to eat, and as if walking around in my squishy Vans were not enough, she had to complain. "Why on earth did I have to be paired up with you. Idiot." she grumbled. I rolled my eyes. "Well, maybe it's because the couple needs some 'alone' time... You know?" "But I wanted to go hunting with Tay Tay, not you, Mr Irresponsible, Grumpy Pants." she retorted. "Gee thanks. I'm grumpy pants and look at who's grumpy. You must be grumpy grandma!" I burst out laughing at my own joke. Extasy was clearly not amused. "I am seriously considering casting a voodoo spell on you." she frowned. "Oh... I'm so scared." I dared her to do it. " Whatcha gonna do? Make me laugh till death?" Ex narrowed her eyes. "No... But maybe..." her eyes dropped to below my torso and she smirked. My eyes widened. "Oh no! Please-" Suddenly Ex jumped and hid behind the huge tree right beside us. "Why are you-" an arrow quickly flew past my right ear, barely missing it's intended target. "Whoa!" I shouted and quickly scaled the opposite tree. "I guess my ninja skills really do come in handy." I was pleased with my skills. A few more arrows were shot in our direction. Ex and I both stayed hidden. I turned to Ex, she had flicked out a jungle blade and was prepping for an attack. I quickly pulled my hood over my head, and pulled out three star shurikens. It was time to focus. Fletch Ninz and I had been walking in silence for awhile. Suddenly she stopped and signalled her left hand. (Stop. There's someone.) Ninz stretched her hand behind and without touching a thing, she pulled out and arrow from the quill. It balanced in mid air as if strings were holding it in place. Ninz smoothly threw her hand forward, and the arrow flew straight ahead. I couldn't see the target, but somehow Ninz knew. That was when I noticed the snake tattoo on her arm move. I tried to ignore it, and held tight to my sword. I knew a fight was going to ensue, when Ninz pulled out 10 arrows and launched them. "Missed?" I whispered. "I'm luring them into a fight" Ninz replied calmly. They are probably assassins as well." "What makes you say that?" I asked. "If they were normal people, first, I would have already hit them. Second, they'd probably be screaming. Since none came to pass, I concluded that they are fighters." Ninz clearly had been doing this for awhile. "Fine, so let's go!" i said, stepping forward. Ninz suddenly jerked me back. And she pulled so hard that I fell to the ground. "Wha-?" right then I saw 3 star shaped shurikens sticking out from the tree above me. "Now we fight" Ninz said, taking out the lollipop from her mouth. Extasy A tall red haired man started running toward our direction, his red sword gleamed in the sun. I looked down at my puny blade and rolled my eyes. I was comfortable using a small blade, and I would defeat this guy with it. I walked out from behind the tree. Arrows were still flying in my direction, but Dan kept them out of my way. Arrow, Shuriken, Arrow, Shuriken. (Just imagine tons of deadly things flying around) I steadied myself, positioning my left foot in front and my right foot behind, and I bent down, getting ready to launch or deflect. The first strike, the red haired man swung his sword at me, I quickly rolled to the right, then to the left. I launched myself into the air and somersaulted in the air, aiming my jungle knife at him. He quickly swung up his sword and our blades clashed. Fletch The small agile girl was getting annoying, fighting her was like chasing after a mouse. By the time you attacked left, she was already on the right and vice versa. She jumped and somersaulted. I lifted my blade and blocked the attack. Quickly, I pushed her off my sword and ran towards her, prepping my sword to hit her. Just right, as she was about to land, she fell onto the edge of my sword, cutting deep into her shoulder. ======================== The pain was excruciating. Her left arm turned numb from the shock wound. She gathered all her energy and ran past Fletch, he sensed what was happening and held his sword downwards on his left hand side, readying to defend, but to no avail. Ex quickly dug her knife into his side and ripped out a chunk of flesh. "Argh!" Fletch cried out in pain. Ninz knew this would happens. She stuck two fingers into her mouth and blew. Fletch heard the retreat whistle. "This is not over little girl." he said over his shoulder and ran out of sight. "Ex!" Danzo quickly ran to Ex's side. She was holding on to her shoulder. "We need to get you back." Danzo supported Ex up from her right, put her arm over his neck and propped her up. "Thanks Dan." Ex managed. "Hey, you fought hard. It should be me thanking you." Dan replied, and the two trotted back to 'camp'.
