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 52: Emily: Help Him

I drop to my knees beside Aiden and put his head in my lap. "Aiden?" I brush his hair away from his forehead. "Aiden, wake up. Please wake up." He's out cold, and he's not so much as fluttering his eyelashes. "Tom." I look up through tear-filled eyes. "Help him."

Tom scoops Aiden up into his arms like he weighs nothing and lays him on the couch. "Marjorie, get a cold cloth from the kitchen." He turns to me. "He's been through a lot, Emily, and I know you're worried, but you need to give me some space here."

Nodding, I move to sit in the chair. And then I watch as Tom and Marjorie check Aiden over and try to wake him up.

This entire time, he's been the calm one, always telling me things were going to be okay, praying faithfully for rescue and safety. He had saved my life, and all I can do in return is sit here. It doesn't seem like enough.
