Ayslin ran out onto the sand.
"I haven't seen land in years!" She cried out. Ayslin bent down and picked up some sand, and threw it in the air. She sat down on the ground, and sighed. She stood up again, and ran over to Micheal.
She hugged him tightly, feeling no uncomfortness or anything.
"Thank you so much." She said.
Jake paced around the dock.
"Where the hell is Ayslin?" He asked himself. Usually the land patrols weren't this long. There was never any land anyway. Jake turned around, and ran up to the bow of the house-boat. He started the engine, and began moving out of the good side area.
As he got into open water, he noticed that part of the water was tinted red.
"Blood?" He said outloud. He began moving the ship, following the trail until the color got stronger and more red. He looked, around until he saw someone laying in a raft. He jumped out of teh boat, and swam towards the raft. He regonized Marley's face. She was bloody all over.
"Marley!?!" He asked in surprise.
