The following morning, Amy’s senses awoke to the sounds of birds chirping in the brush nearby, and the soft crackle of the smoldering ashes in the fire pit.  But there was something else…something that didn’t belong in the area, or on the island, for that matter. There was a low hissing that was coming closer.  For a moment, Amy thought it was a snake, but it sounded like it belonged to something much bigger. She kept lying in the same position as she was, still as possible, and eyes open wide.  As she heard it draw close to her, she quickly rolled away, her adrenaline and instincts kicking in.

Chapter Five: Amy’s senses finally came around as the sedative wore off.  The feeling of pain was the first thing that came; her body was stiff and sore all over from lying in the same position all night, and the rough cot she was lying on wasn’t helping either.  Eyes still closed, she noticed that everything was somewhat quiet….and cold.  Someone or something that felt icy cold was touching her wrist, where she heard a soft snap and something metallic and thin fell against her skin.  She attempted to say something, but her mind was not fully awake yet, and a sluggish moan crept out inst
