This wasn't planned...we weren't prepared...

"I want to go to shore, and I want to go now." Ella says before running off the boat unto shore "Jaden! Jaden are you there! Jaden!" she calls out.

[EO+RS]

Jack ran after Ella, upset. "But.." he wanted to say something to protest. He sank down, his face in his hands. Ada sat beside him. "We tried to help her. Maybe she didn't want help, it was an offer she didn't have to take." Jack hugged his sister in reply.

[PaintLily]

"Please Jaden, please just be okay." Ella says and looks everywhere for him, she begins to cry, "Oh Jaden please be safe, please, just please." she says

[EO+RS]

Jack sat in the prow of the boat, trying to remember why he had been so excited to come back to land. Ada kept her mind off of painful memories by working in the depths of the boat on this and that.

Ella just sits down, staring into space, worrying about her brother. She gets up and goes back to the boat, she might as well go there, seeing as she had no where else to go.

[EO+RS]

"Hey Ella." said Jack. "What made you come back?" he looked at her curiously. Ada busied herself with some dinner for three.

[PaintLily]

"I have no where else to go." Ella says and sighs, staring into the distance longingly "If only, If only I knew..." she muttered to herself.

[EO+RS]

"Whatever it is, you'll probably find out someday." Jack guessed that it was about her family, and with a heavy heart guessed that neither of them would see their families again. ((gtg))

[PaintLily]

"My brother, I'm wondering if he's alive." Ella says and sighs again, staring out into the sky, she sits down and begins to cry, trying to hold it in.

[EO+RS]

"Well, you wonder, and you wait and look, but there's not much you can do. But for now, just in case he's looking for you, why don't you stay here, eat something, stay alive and steady. I can tell you, it's a lot harder to find someone crying in a corner then someone walking tall on the streets." said Jack sagely. He just spoke from his heart and personal experience.
