The wind screamed, tearing through the air like it wanted to rip the boat apart, and the rain lashed against my face, soaking me to the bone. My hands were locked on the wheel, knuckles white, as the waves threw the boat around like a toy. Pulau-Pulau Kur. That was the name Sarah swore would save us. A resort, a village, something. I wasn't so sure. The map was smudged and crumpled from the rain now, and we could barely see anything past the bow. Just endless, angry water and darkness. Pitch black.

"Is he okay?" I called over my shoulder, but Sarah didn't answer. When I turned again, I saw Sarah make sure that Josh was strapped to the bench somehow to stop him from rolling off.

up, another wave hit the boat, and she fell down. "I'm fine! I'm fine!" Sarah yelled, and I relaxed, but only just. I was still fighting an ocean here in nothing but a
