Warped Remains

Emily Sheffield's parents are the worst. Okay, maybe Emily has been erratic and her behavior a little reckless lately, but shipping her off to live with her grandparents in Alaska is so much worse than she deserves. For Aiden Cohen, life in Alaska is perfect: good grades, great friends, and work he loves. There's just one thing missing: his mom. But a disastrous first meeting with his birth mom leaves Aiden stunned and ready to go back to his ordinary life in Alaska. A confusion on the runaway prevents the plane from landing, but when the plane hits a bad patch of turbulence, throwing it off-course, the pilots lose control. The plane crashes, leaving Emily, Aiden, and two dozen other passengers stranded on a creepy island. But they aren't the only ones on the island, and it's now a race against time for someone to find them before the island's inhabitants do. WARPED REMAINS is created by Kara Leigh Miller, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 47: Aiden: Get to the Dock

"Get to the dock!" Tom shouts as he runs by me, snapping me out of my stupor.

I'm still frozen in place, unable to process what's happening around me. How is this possible?

Emily grabs my arm, shaking me. "Aiden! Let's go. C'mon. We have to go." Her voice is frantic.

I nod but am still unable to form any words.

"Which way is the dock? Where are we supposed to go?" Her tone rises with each word, her fear palpable.

I glance around. Everyone who isn't dead is scattering into the jungle. Into the one place where they'll likely die. I want to shout at them not to go in there, but I know, even if they can hear me, they won't listen. They're too scared and looking for anything that will protect them.

Tom said we should go to the dock, because from the dock we can get to the building and the safety of the bunker, but running down the beach, in the wide open, will make us targets. "C'mon, this way," I say, leading Emily toward the tree line.
