My friend said, “I knew we shouldn’t have taken that trip, I knew something bad was going to happen. Look at us now, we are stranded somewhere we don’t know and we are being stalked by some creature like thing! Man! I wish we would have taken that cruise in the Caribbean. Hey how are we going to get out of this place? Do you think we will live?”

I responded saying, “Yeah I hope we make it out of here alive. There are probably people looking for us already because the van was supposed to make it to the town by noon. I wonder what might happen to us.”

It was getting dark and I didn’t know what was going on, I didn’t know what that creature was and I sure didn’t want to get eaten by it. We looked around for a bit from the safety of the tree and sat there, pondering of how to get out of this situation alive.  We decided that we needed to change where we were at because the creature probably knew where we were by now. We got out of the tree slowly and quietly, making sure not to make any noise. It was dead silence, we knew something was wrong, then up on the cliff stood this six feet monster with glowing red eyes staring down at us. We stood in fear looking at the monster, we didn’t know what to do, by then we knew that we were dead and there was no hope for us anymore. After standing in fear, the creature went away, back into the jungle , back to where it came from, once it left we ran as fast as we could the opposite way through thick brushes of trees and muddy ground. Then out of nowhere we started to hear the sound of waves crashing not far from where we were. We ran near the sound and the next thing we knew we were on a beach, under the moonlit sky. It was a sight to see, but we knew we couldn’t stay long. “I can’t believe we made it! I thought for sure that we were goners.” My friend said.

“Yeah I can’t believe the monster never saw us. I was about to cry when I saw the monster there. I got so scared that I think I wet my pants a bit.”

 We decided to run along the beach and after running for twenty minutes we decided to take a break, we looked around for something that we could hide in or at least something that would conceal us from the monster that hunted us. We found a small cave not far from where we were and we decided to stay there, deep within the cave, the dark, damp cave that didn’t give us hope at all making us think that we would survive the night.

The next morning we slowly went outside trying not to make any noise, as we were about to walk out we heard something on top of the cave walking back and forth. It sounded like the monster; we didn’t know what to do, so we slowly walked back into the cave when suddenly,

“CRACK”

My heart dropped as I knew I stepped on a stick. I knew we were dead; this was the place where we were going to die, it felt like time had stopped, everything was slowing down as we heard steps moving closer and closer to the cave, glowing red eyes stared into my soul as we looked into the creature’s eyes.  We ran as fast as we could straight out the cave, back on the beach and sprinted for our dear lives. As we ran we heard helicopters flying past the island and we knew they were looking for us, not only that but we heard large foot steps behind us getting louder and louder. After hearing that we ran even faster, the helicopter spotted us and landed several yards away from us, they opened the door and started to yell for us with our last breaths we ran towards the helicopter, when I got on I realized that my friend had tripped over a log and the creature chasing us was right behind him. He looked back, saw the monster, and screamed;
