Mysterious Allison

“Are you sure its going to stop?” Claire called at Mira who had just run into the ocean waving her hands. They had been doing that since the moment they saw the ship, but they were at odds. Obviously the sailor didn’t see them. If he did, wouldn’t he be coming to them? “It’s futile. There’s no point shouting anymore.”

Claire tried to stop Mira who refused to give up. Mira kept waving her hands, yelling on top of her voice. All she wanted was to be heard. The rest of the girls didn’t have the strength anymore. They haven’t had any good food since days now. “Enough, Mira.”

We have a reason to survive… that should keep us going.” Claire took a pause. All the girls had their eyes glued on her like she was some college professor telling some breathtaking history. “For now, let’s forget about the rescue. I hate to admit it, but I think I’m beginning to see why Damien decided to invest in
