Chapter 20

Author’s Note: In this chapter, it switches around to different point of views.

Ryan walked out of the room, and wandered around the boat. He looks up a few moments later, and
saw that they were approaching another island. Ryan turned and went to find Amber. He knocked on
the door to her room, and was more than a little surprised, to walk in, and find her standing between
Bray, and her new boyfriend, one of the Techno’s who had started this mess in the first place. “Amber,
I need to see you outside for a moment. I think that we may have a problem.” Ryan said, and then he
walked out of the room, and waited for Amber to join him. A few moments later, Amber walked up to
him. “Ryan, are you okay? What’s wrong?” She asked, concerned. Ryan looked at Amber, and then
pointed over her shoulder. “Amber, we are approaching another island. What are we going to do?”

Amber turned her attention, and followed to where Ryan was pointing. They were approaching land,
again. Amber looked back at Ryan. “Go and gather the others. I will get Jay and Bray, and I will go
and speak with Fish.” She said, and then left, before Ryan could even reply. Ryan sighed, and he
went to gather the others. A little while later, he had told everyone about the meeting, except for
Salene and May. Ryan took a deep breath, and then he slowly opened the door, and walked inside.
“Listen guys, before you get angry at me for interrupting, listen. Amber has called an emergency
meeting. We all need to go. It’s concerning that fact that we are close to another Island.” Ryan said.
He watched as Salene and May shared a look, before both women got up, and headed out the room.

Ryan sighed, and followed behind both of them, walking quietly, and staying silent. He wasn’t sure
he would be able to handle finding out that his wife was now a lesbian. Ryan just shook his head,
and went meet up with the others. As he approached the group, Ryan heard Amber speaking, and
every now and then, Bray, Danni, and Amber’s new Techno boyfriend, would all nod in agreement,
or they would voice their opinions, and agree or disagree with what Amber was currently saying. As
Ryan finally reached the group, he saw Amber turn in his direction, and then motion for him to come
forward. Ryan did so, without question. “Ryan, was there anyone on the island, when you first saw it?”
Amber asked, and then she waited patiently for Ryan to speak up. “Yes, I did Amber. I saw someone.”

He said softly, and wondered if he should tell that the person looked familiar, or if he thought it was
just a hallucination. Ryan looked at Amber. “I thought that I had seen Alice, and KC.” He said softly.
Ryan paused, when he heard someone gasp in shock. Turning around, he saw that it was Ellie, who
had gasped, and realized that he shouldn’t have been surprised, since the young girl was still worried
about her older sister, and was wanting desperately wanting to find her. “Listen guys, I’m not positive
that it was Alice and KC. I just saw two people, and the way they looked reminded me of Alice and KC.”
Ryan said softly. He looked at Amber, who, after speaking to Fish, decided that they would get off at
the island, and they would check it out, before continuing on their journey. Ryan just stared at Amber.

However, he stayed silent, just hoping that he was right about their friends that were still missing. When
Amber spoke a moment later, it was to tell everyone that only certain groups of people were going to get
off the boat, and go check this island out. After picking out 2 groups, Amber motioned for the rest of them
to stay on the boat, and if anything happened, to leave automatically. The 2 groups were assigned like this:
Group 1 held Jack, Ellie, Jay, May, and Amber. Group 2 held Ram, Slade, Lex, Bray, and Ebony. The rest of
the Mall rats were to stay on the boat, and make sure nothing happened. They were also to be ready incase
something did happen. As both of the group started off, Ryan watched from where he was standing on the
boat, and he silently wondered what they would find, and what they were going to have to deal with now.

Amber looked at her group, as they walked around the island, wondering if they were going to need some
backup, or if they even needed to be on this island at all. She took a look at Ellie, and saw the determined
look on the younger girl’s face, and decided that this would be worth it, especially if they found Alice and
KC. Amber sighed softly, so no one would hear her, as they continued on what seemed to be a pointless
task, when something, or rather someone, caught her eye. “Hello? Excuse me. I’m looking for the person
in charge. Can you take us to your leader?” She asked. When the person got closer, Amber paused, and
she stared at the person. She was even more shocked, when two more people walked up. “Marco?” She
asked, staring at Salene’s brother. The guy nods, and motioned to the two people who were with him.

“This is KC and Alice. They are with my Tribe.” He said softly, before looking at Amber. Amber nodded.
“Marco, Alice and KC, used to be a part my Tribe, the Mall rats.” She said. Marco looked at Amber again.
“Salene?” He asked softly. Amber nodded. Then she turned to face the people in her group. “Everyone,
this is Marco, he is Salene’s brother.” She said seriously. Everyone looked from Amber, to Marco, and
back again, confused. Marco turned Amber to face him. “Is she okay?” He asked. Amber nodded. “She
is fine. Salene has just been going through some recent changes, that’s all.” She said, and wondered
how Marco was going to take to the fact that his sister was now a lesbian, and she fell silent once more.
