*yeah i know i forgot abou tthat. thanks.*

Mary anne:

"Umm...okay."

He walked in.

"Whats wrong?" he asked, sitting down beside her. She had already sat up, and wrapped her arms around her knees.

"I don't know. I can't stop thinking about that little girl."

*sorry got to go*

Ryder:

Ryder pulled her close and sighed. "There isn't anything we could do about it, Annie." Ryder said softly. "We'll go looking for more survivers tomorrow, I'm sure there must be someone who really needs our help."

"Then why are we not still looking?" She demanded.

"Because we do them no good by getting ourselves hurt." He replied softly. "We can't just look ever second of the day. If we die, then we won't be able to help."

Mary annie:

Nobody ahd called her Annie in along time. That brought a fresh bout of tears as she tried to cover it by demanding why they weren't looking now.

"I understand." She settled in his arms. Comfertable she thought sighing.

A moment later the tears stopped as she drifted off into a deep sleep.

Ryder:

Ryder held her close leaning against the wall of her hut and falling asleep himself, against his better judgement.

He woke up his right arm killing him. He looked down, Annie was still curled up on his lap. He couldn't strech any of his sore muscles, thankfully his rib wasn't one of them.

sorry i havent added, my school work just piled up, ima drop out.

Mary anne:

Annie sighed. Stretching, she realized she was still curled up in Ryders lap.

"Hey." She said looking up at him.

"Hey."

"I think we need to get up, so we can go get breakfast."

"Sure." He smiled.

*oops got to go*

Ryder:

Ryder slowly stood up and streched. "Ya, then we need to go search."

He helped her towards the fire and they got their food. After they started walking down the beach looking for anyone. He heard a whimper in the woods. He turned and ran towards it. A small girl was huddled under some covers. He picked her up and craddled her to his chest. "It's ok, honey." He said softly. She looked up at him with big brown eyes and moved closer to him.

"I'm scared." She whipmered.

"It's ok, I'll take care of you." He said stroking her cheek softly. "Come, you can meet someone."

Mary anne:

Mary anne gasped as Ryder came back, carrying a small little girl in his arms. Her clothes were a little torn, and her face was dirty.

"Oh my god!" She ran over to Ryder.

"This is the nice lady I wanted you to meet." Ryder said calmly to the girl.

"Hi." the girl said shyly. Mary anne held out her arms, and teh girl gladly came into them.

"Hey yourself. May I ask what your name is?"

"Kelly."

"That's a pretty name." Looking up at Ryder, she motioned for him to start walking.

"We're going to head back to our camp now, and we'll get you something to eat. Is that ok with you?" she asked, walking along side Ryder.

"Ok." The girl smiled.

Ryder:

Ryder led them to the fre and mixed up some food for the girl. "I'm gonna go back and look." he whispered in Mary Anne's ear. SHe nodded lsightly and he got up walking away.

"Where are you going?" Kelly called.

"I gotta go see if anyone else needs help." He smiled.

"You'll come back, right?" Kelly's eyes were watering up. He walked back and lifted her out of Mary Anne's lap.

"Of course, don't worry, Mary Anne will watch you. She's a great lady, isn't she?" He smiled. Kelly nodded. "Alright, you stay with her." He handed her back to Mary Anne and walked towards the beach. He liked little Kelly. He walked along the beach and heard someone walking behind him. He spun around quickly looking at a boy about 17 and a girl right behind him. She looked about 16.

"No one else made it." The teenage boy said. His face was bleak and he stood in front of the girl with a very protective stance.

"I'm Ryder." Ryder said sticking out his hand. The boy looked at it and then took it.

"Colt." He said. "This is Dusty."

"You two related?" Ryder asked.

"No, we just met." Colt replied. Dusty moved closer to Colt as Ryder turned around to get a look at her. He reconized them both from the ship. He nodded and then ran a hand through his hair.

"Well, we have food. Come on with me." He said motioning towards the wood. He turned and started towards where Mary Anne was.


Dusty:

Dusty followed slowly and looked around cautiously staying close to Colt. She didn't know why he trusted him but he did, she wasn't big on trusting people at all. Both had been orphaned due to the wreck. She smelled food and her stomach rumbled.

"Hungry?" Colt asked in a soft whipser.

"You know you are too." She said softly. She stayed close and then followed him to the fire where a lady was sitting with a small child in her arms.


*You can be Colt*

*who me? k.*

*ill post mine monday b/c i have to go to my next class. i think we're the only ones in this stroybook now.*

*****Post please******

Ryder:

Ryder sat down next to Mary Anne and Kelly climbed on his lap curling up in a ball and falling asleep. He motioned the other two to get some of the food.

"They look starved and scared." Mary Anne whispered. He nodded but didn't say anything. Dusty looked petrified and didn't get to far from Colt. She tokk the food he handed her and sat down slowly eating the food with vigor. Colt ate with a tad more constrant but Ryder could tell that was hard for him to do.


Dusty:

Dusty put some more food on her plate, she was so hungry.

"THere is going to be food later." Colt whispered.

"Who knows what will happen later." She said back looking over at him. "Nothing is sure anymore."

Mary anne:

Mary anne sat and ate as she watched Kelly asleep in Ryder's lap. He just looked so...so right with that little girl in his lap. She looked at his face and sighed. Really right.



Colt:

"That is true, but I promise you, I doubt anything is goign to happen to you. At least not while I'm around you there isn't" he said, sliding closer to her.

Dusty;

Dusty rested her head on his shoulder and sighed. "I don't like this. Who knows what's out here, or if anyone will ever find us."

"They will." He said softly.

"You dont' know that. This isn't a movie, it isn't a garantee." She sighed.


Ryder:

Ryder stroked Kelly's hair and then looked over at Mary Anne smiling. "You look tired.' He smiled.

"You've done more then m e." She replied softly. He patted the ground next to him and she moved over closer to him. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders holding her clothes. "This isn't bad for being deserted." He smiled.

Mary anne:

Seh looked at him when he said that.

"What do you mean?" she asked a puzzled look on her face.


Colt:

He sighed, wrapping his arm around Dusty.

"I know it isn't a guarentee, but that doesn't mean I'm goign to let anythign happen to you. I promise." He tilted her chin til her eyes met his.

"I promise."

Dusty:

Dusty smiled a little. "I believe you." She leaned against him when he let go of her chin. For some reason she had wanted him to kiss her. She pushed the thought awawy and sighed. "Where will we sleep?"

Ryder:

"I mean we could be worse off. We have shelter, company, food, and fire." He shrugged. "We should make a big house so that we can have a fire in it so we don't have to worry about it going out." He started planing the design out in his head. "Shouldn't be to hard."
