Adrift

Mary Anne:

Mary Anne watched as Ryder left, then turned and went back to her work. Crap! I forgot to get some food! Oh well I'll just order room service. Mary Anne thoguht lazily to herself.

She picked up the phon eand dialed 2.

Ring ring.....

Ring ring....

"Hello? Food service." a person answered.

"Yes, I'd like to place an order." The phone started to static.

"I'm sorry I could not hear you. Could you repeat that? Hello?"

"Yes, I said I'd like to place an order." She replied, getting frustrated. And I thought this was going to be a pleasant cruise! Hump!

"Hello? Is anybody there?" The operater asked before hanging up, leaving her standing holding her mouth open.

"Thats it!" She bellowed, grabbing her card key before heasing out. She shut the door firmly behind her, hearing the soft click of the lock. She stormed down the hall towards the lobby only to see Ryder, hanging over the side of the boat.

"Ryder!" She screamed, running over to him. He was trying ot get someone over the side.

"Oh my god! Are you ok?" She asked, feeling a little more concerned than she wanted.

Lorna Jones

"Let go?" she screamed over the storm, not sure she had heard him correctly. "Are you insane?!" She scanned the mans face for some sort of a joke, but saw none. With a shudder, she pushed the image of her falling overboard from her brain and released her left hand from the lifeboat, gripping onto his own hand desperately.

"Okay, I'm gonna pull you up now!" He shouted to her, steadily beginning to pull her to her feet, ignoring her impatient wriggles of panic.

"Quick!" Lorna exclaimed, the sudden surge of panic being too much.

Ryder-

Ryder frowned, if she didn't stop wiggling like a scared calf she was going ot make this harder then it was. Comparing women and cows never gets you anywhere, His mother's voice sounded in his ear. It only insults them, I know oyu don't mean to, but it's true.

"Quick!" The girl screeched. He frowned, this might hurt her a little but there was no other way to get her on the boat. He grabbed her shoulder with his free hand and yanked her up on the boat almost slamming back into Mary Anne.

"Let's get out of the rain!" He yelled, he picked up the girl that was crying next to the door and followed the others out of the rain. He looked at the girl that he had just pulled over the edge. "Sorry if I hurt you."

Lorna Jones

She marched along side her rescuers and the quivering wreck of a woman and rubbed her shoulder with a small wince.

"Sorry if I hurt you." He said again, peering round at her with a concerned stare.

She smiled wearily and gripped to the handrailing alongisde the corridor as the boat gave an almighty heave. "That's alright. I guess I wasn't making it easier for myself, huh? Thanks... A lot."

He nodded slightly and placed the sobbing girl on the floor.

Ryder--

Ryder rubbed his neck and looked around. the corridor. He couldn't help but wonder if any of them were going to live through this storm. The power of it scared him, he had only seen a storm close to as bad as this and it was a hurricane he got stuck in when he was a little boy. Tornados weren't even this bad.

Let's hope you do, you don't have a will written up. He laughed at himself. He should've never listend to his mom and gone on this crusie. He needed to be taking care of his live stock, not worrying about if he was going to live.

"That storm doesn't look like it is about to break any time soon." He sighed, he looked at the sobbing girl and frowned. "Whats wrong with her?"

Mary Anne:

"I don't know, maybe you should ask her?" She replied.

*sorry i know it short but i really have to go!*

Lorna Jones

She bent down and shook the sobbing girl's shoulder gently.

"Hey, come on. We gotta get moving. Let's see what they're gonna do about this storm, shall we?" Her voice was soft but the girl just sobbed harder, leaving Lorna with a blank expression on her face.

*Sorry it's short. Going to bed soon*

David looked over the deck and saw that their was no one their.
He turned around and suddenly heard crying.
He limped out in the feirce storm and saw that Lorna was standing over a crying girl.
" She..." Lorna began to say to David but he shook his head.
" We need to get inside! The storm is leaving the eye!"
Lorna gasped, she knew a little bit about hurricanes and knew that the eye was the most peacful part of the hurricane...if this is how peaceful it's going to get..
Lorna picked up the crying girl and they both went underside.

*they picked up an 18 year old? Sweet!*

Fianna-

Her chest kept heaving as she continued to weep over her loss. Her eyes blurry from tears she looked up to see a woman. Quickly she looked back down sobbing, taking a deep breath she quietly muttered a thank you before resuming her mourning.

He was in her grasp and she couldn't do anything about it..."Aaron..." she muttered to herself.

Lorna Jones

She patted the girls back reassuringly and looked at the three stood before her; two men and a woman who stood with her rescuer.

"I saw some rocks, over there." She nodded to the East of the boat. "If I'm not being completely mistaken, the boat is heading right for them. The captain doesn't seem to be doing anything, either." Her face was set in a stern look, which she got when she started to take charge and think.

"Hm. It doesn't look so good, huh?" Her rescuer replied gravely.

That was when a deafening screech of metal against rock resounded around the decks, followed by the crash and tumble of the inhabitants themselves, sending Lorna and her new companions flying down the halls of the deck half running, half falling.

Fianna-

She had heard the womans voice just before she was thrown, 'No!' her mind screamed.

"I can't-" she then was thrown overboard, "No! Aaron!!!" her hands reached for something to grasp only to be met by water and waves crashing over her. Her eyes closed as her life flashed before her...was this how it ended?

Ryder-

Ryder caught the railing before he fell in and saw the girl from earlier fall in the water. Fianna, that was her name. He stood up and then dove in after her filling his lungs with air. The cold water tried to suck most of the air out of him but he ignored the cold. He opened his eyes and saw the girl. He swam down towards her he grabbed her leg, pulled her towards him, and wrapped one arm around her shoulder. He pumped his legs towards the surface gasping for air. He swam towards shore watching as the boat jolted to the stop and people found their feet. He pulled hte girl to shore and checked her breathing. She was jsut barely breathing. He held her over his knee and pounded her back softly causing her to cough up water. He saw someone else in the water and he laid her down.

"Stay put, I gotta go help others." He said as someone ran towards them. "Watch her!" He yelled running towards the water. He dove in and quickly swam towards the people in the water. One by one he swam them in and no matter how much his muscles ached and his lungs burned he kept going in after others. He had to help them all.

*can someone save my charrie?... or something*

****You can have my guy pull her out.****

-dropping out, sorry-
