Chapter 1

Sam jumped off his houseboat onto the dock, trying not to make much noise so that he wouldn’t wake Dekka or Edilio.
It was three in the morning. He was so tired that his eyes were stinging, but he just couldn’t go back to bed. This had happened every night for the past week. He would wake up in the middle of the night, longing for her. He needed her.
Astrid Ellison. The only girl he ever loved.
As much as he hated to admit it, Sam had never felt like this before. He had never felt so...abandoned. He had had a taster of that feeling when his step-dad left, but it wasn’t this bad.
He felt so pathetic.
Suddenly he heard a noise behind him, like twigs breaking. He quickly turned around with his hands up, ready to fire if necessary. There had been no trouble in that first week at the lake, but that didn’t mean that Sam didn’t expect it.
“Just me, Sam.” He heard Diana’s voice.
“Oh.” He said, trying to mask his reaction. Relief, that it wasn’t someone worse. Disappointment, that it wasn’t the one person he wanted. He lit up an orb of light so that he could see her more clearly. She had dark circles around her eyes. “You should be resting.” He said.
She scoffed. “Oh please, Sam. I’m pregnant. I’m not dying of a terminal illness.” She paused. “At least, I hope not.”
Sam smiled uncomfortably. He still didn’t really know how to talk to her. She was always ‘Diana the witch’, and now she was ‘Diana the pregnant girl who chose to stay with Sam instead of his evil twin brother’. He couldn’t understand her.
“Are you OK?” Sam asked, knowing it was a stupid question. It was obvious that she wasn’t. “I mean, this time last week, you were fine. And now...”
“I’m just tired.” She said. “But I can’t sleep.” She looked up at him in the dim light. “Let me guess; you’re missing Blondie.”
Sam looked back at her. “Yeah.” He said, trying to sound casual. “Yeah, I guess so.” They fell silent for a while. “Why can’t you sleep?” He asked.
Diana took a deep breath. Sam was awkwardly aware that this was the first actual conversation they ever had. “I thought I could change him, Sam.” There was no doubt who ‘him’ referred to. “He said he’d change. For me. And then he turned into a jerk again.” She paused, thinking. “You know he actually forced me off that island? I could have been perfectly happy there. He forced me to join him so I could be a ‘queen’ in his pathetic little kingdom.”
Sam didn’t know what to say. Her speech was so full of resentment, of anger. “I’m sorry.” He said.
Diana laughed, but it was a bitter sound. “Maybe I chose the wrong brother.”
He smiled, but quickly changed the subject. “Isn’t it kind of weird that...” He stopped himself. They weren’t really friends, but he still didn’t want to worry her.
“What?” She asked, curious. “Tell me.”
Sam paused before speaking. “It’s just that...you said he forced you to join him, right? He knows by now that you’ve left. So why hasn’t he come back for you yet?”
Diana smiled sadly, staring across the lake. “You should know by now that Caine never does what you expect him to do.”

Dekka woke up early the next morning. She looked out of the small window in her room and saw all the other boats lined up along the dock. She wondered idly whether Brianna was still asleep.
Dekka went out into the living room area of the boat and saw Sam crashing on the sofa. She smiled fondly. He never ended up sleeping in his own bed, even though she and Edilio had given him the master bedroom. She found a blanket and threw it over him.
She went outside and breathed in the beautifully fresh air. It was easy to pretend that she was on some camping trip to the lake, but the FAYZ wall was still visible. It was a constant reminder of where they were.
Dekka sat on the dock and dipped her feet in the cool water.
As much as she had been heartbroken by that fact that Brianna was avoiding her, she thought that maybe she could be happy. It was a nice life, there at the lake.
Then she noticed Diana, who was also sitting on a large rock nearby. She looked so tired.
But then Dekka told herself that she shouldn’t be worrying. She remembered that from the beginning Diana had always been cruel to her. She had always been on Caine’s side. No matter how many lives he took, no matter how many horrible crimes he committed, she was always on his side.
But Dekka’s anger didn’t last long.
She had noticed Brianna jumping out of her boat, with Jack not far behind.

Diana was tired.
But ‘tired’ was an understatement.
She was exhausted. She knew it would not be long before she passed out.
She had seen Dekka staring at her. Not with sympathy, with hate. A lot of people hated Diana.
She finally stood up after hours of sitting by the lake and headed to her own boat. Her own, lonely boat. Sam had insisted that she stay in a boat instead of a tent, so that she would be comfortable. But no one else had volunteered to stay with her, and she wasn’t pathetic enough to ask anyone, so she chose the smallest one and lived there alone.
She had thought that breaking away from Caine; power-hungry, over-ambitious Caine, she would be free. Free to make her own choices without having her life revolving around his. And there were good people at the lake; people like Sam, Dekka, Sanjit. People who could help her when she had her baby.
She was actually excited when she first arrived at the lake.
But the more she stayed there, the more alone she felt. And she hated her small, isolated boat. So she found herself awake most nights, outside, by the lake.
Diana lay down on her bed and tried to let sleep take her. She was starting to worry herself.
She knew that she had to stop being like this, otherwise she would start going crazy. People would start laughing at her as well as hate her. And she had a baby on the way.
Diana groaned. She knew it was going to be difficult. But she knew that if there was anything that would redeem her from what she had done in the past, it was raising a good kid.
She finally felt her thoughts blur together as she fell asleep.

Caine looked at the room around him. He had lost it. Again.
He hoped that Turk wouldn’t tell anyone else about Caine’s fits of temper. He had to be a good king. But then again, Turk was someone who was so scared of Caine that he wouldn’t say a word.
Caine left the trashed up room.
He only ever lost control after he had been thinking about her. After he had thought about her and dreamed about her.
He had thought that no matter how many people abandoned him; his birth-parents, his foster-parents...he always thought that he would still have Diana.
And then she left him.
He had given her some time. He thought she would get over it; she would realise that she belonged with him, and would come back. She had gotten over it before.
But a few days had turned into a week. There was still no sign of her.
Caine walked back into the trashed up room, where Turk was now cleaning up after him. “Turk.” He said. “Go get Taylor. I need to speak with her.”
It was time to get Diana back.

really good! Are you going to write morE?

Stella wants more
This is very good & it's good for my need for Fear :p

THIS IS REALLY GOOD. WRITE MORE!!! xDD

Thanks for all the comments

Chapter 2

Taylor woke up that morning to see Turk’s tired face. She sat up, dazed from being asleep.
“What do you want?” She asked bluntly. If she didn’t like someone, she didn’t hide it. And she definitely didn’t like Turk.
“Caine wants you.” He said quietly. He always looked defeated nowadays.
“But it’s like, seven am.” She said, annoyed. “Caine’s going to have to wait.”
She lay back down and closed her eyes. Turk didn’t move.
“King Caine doesn’t wait for anyone.” He said. “You should know that.” Then he left.
Taylor sat up again and rolled her eyes. Sure, she did get her rewards, but working for Caine could be a pain in the backside. She took her own time getting ready and then bounced into the town hall, where Caine lived.
“Taylor.” She heard his voice behind her and turned around quickly.
“This better be worth it. I’m losing my beauty sleep.” She crossed her arms.
Caine waited in silence until Taylor remembered. “Oh, right.” She realised. She bowed. “Good morning, your majesty.” She said in a falsely innocent voice.
He smiled, but his eyes were still cold. “You need to go to the lake.”
She laughed. “Are you being serious? I’m not going there. What if I get caught?”
“Don’t get caught. Don’t let anyone see you. I just need you to bring someone back.”
Taylor looked at him patronizingly. “You know she won’t come, right?”
Caine ignored her. “I don’t care how you make it happen. Do whatever you have to do. Just make sure you bring her back.” Taylor didn’t look too happy about it, but she nodded. She was about to bounce when he spoke again. “And Taylor, if you come back here without her, there’ll consequences.”
Taylor sighed. She bowed again. “Yes, your majesty.” She bounced back to her room.
Poor Diana, she thought.

Sam and Edilio were eating dried apricots for breakfast. It was still such a novelty; they enjoyed every second of it. They barely exchanged two words whilst eating.
“Is Dekka OK?” Edilio asked after they finished. She barely ever hung out with them.
Sam was careful not to say anything he shouldn’t. “I think she’s upset about something. I’ll try talking to her.”
They had left the boat and were now walking towards the forest, carrying some shovels.
“Are you OK?” Edilio looked concerned. As much as Sam had tried to hide it, the change in him was still noticeable.
Sam smiled. “I miss her.” He said. He didn’t want to say her name. “I guess I spend every day hoping she’ll come back. I mean, how long can she survive on her own, out in the middle of nowhere?”
Edilio patted him on the back. “Don’t worry, man. She’ll come back when she’s ready.”
Sam smiled back at him, but he wasn’t convinced. Edilio was the only person he had told about Astrid killing Little Pete.
They finally stopped walking when they knew that they were far enough from the lake. They started digging another slit trench.
“What about you?” Sam asked.
“Huh?”
“Are you OK?”
Edilio laughed. “Yeah, I guess.”
Sam looked sincere. “You spend so much time looking after other people; you need to look after yourself, too.”
“You can talk.” Edilio smiled. Then he stopped digging. “Actually, Sam, I’m really missing Caine.” They laughed.
Sam missed Astrid, a lot. But he was also kind of happy, right where he was.

Lana drank her Pepsi happily. She drank it so fast that it burned her throat. She still wasn’t over the fact that there was plenty more where it came from.
She went outside and joined Sanjit, who was whistling as he sat with his legs in the water.
“Morning Grumpy.” He said.
“Grumpy?”
“You know, like from Snow White. The dwarf. I think you’d be Grumpy.” He beamed at her.
Lana tried not to smile back. “I’m not going to question how you know so much about Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”
“Hey, I have two little sisters. They used to watch it all the time.”
“Didn’t mean you had to watch it with them.”
Sanjit laughed. “OK, fine. You caught me. I have a passion for Disney.”
They fell silent, but it wasn’t awkward. It was never really awkward between them.
“I checked on Bowie just now.” Lana said.
“Yeah?”
“Yeah. I think he’s completely recovered.”
Sanjit smiled. “That’s what I thought, but thanks for checking anyway.” He liked that she cared that much. He watched her as she looked out onto the lake.
Lana sighed. “You’re doing it again.”
“What?” He asked innocently.
“Staring. You know, normal people actually know that staring is rude.” She said.
He laughed. “Yeah, because you’re the epitome of normal.”
She took a deep breath of the fresh air. She felt different to how she usually did. She felt less...weighed down. As if the Darkness which had touched her mind more than once was finally at rest.
She felt peaceful.

Howard was left with nothing. Not even one drop.
Sam had gone and confiscated all his alcohol so that people would stop getting drunk, and he was too far away from Coates to go and make some more.
Orc was now in a permanently bad mood. He wanted to be alone most days.
So Howard walked out onto the marina and looked around, wondering who he would go and annoy.
That was when he saw Dekka sitting on the edge of the lake, with her feet in the water. He walked up to her.
“T’sup, sister.” He said, making himself comfortable next to her.
She turned to him, annoyed. “I’m not your sister.”
“Oh, come on, Dekka. We’re both black; we’re the minority here. We’ve gotta stick together. And it’s not like you can be my girlfriend, seeing as...you know...”
She rolled her eyes. “What do you want, Howard?”
He raised his hands defensively. “Who said I wanted everything? You know, I’m kind of sick of everyone judging me as some kind of user.”
Dekka took a deep breath. “I heard that when Albert was dying, you would only save him if you got some kind of reward.”
Howard paused at that. “Yeah, well...you know what they say. Every man for himself.” He stopped again, suddenly realising. “Hey, I never got a reward...”
Dekka stood up. “And that’s where this conversation ends.” She started walking back to her boat, but Howard just followed her.
“Hey, wait up!” She turned around to face him, irritated. “OK,” he said, “maybe I do kind of want a favour. You see, the thing is, I know you and Sam are kind of like ‘BFF’s or whatever those sixth-graders call it. But Sam went and took away all my alcohol, so-”
“No way.” Dekka interrupted. “I’m not convincing him to give you your alcohol.”
Suddenly Sam appeared behind her with Edilio, both of them carrying shovels. “Dekka, is Howard annoying you?” Sam asked.
“Nah,” Howard said, “Dekka and I are practically related. Which is why she’ll, er, think about my proposition.” He winked at Dekka and walked away.
Sam went up to Dekka. “Actually, I’ve been meaning to talk to you.” He said. Edilio took a hint and went inside.
Dekka smiled. “Is this gonna be one of those embarrassing pep talks?”
“I just want to know how you’re doing. You know, after...”
She sighed. “Brianna doesn’t even look at me anymore. I mean, I get that I made it a bit awkward, but she could at least pretend that it never happened.” She looked sad. “Oh, God. I wish I could take it all back.”
Sam tried to be comforting, but he wasn’t sure how. “She’ll come around. She’s probably just...confused, I guess.”
Dekka didn’t reply, so Sam started to walk away. Then he turned back. “Are you still up for this afternoon? You don’t have to come if you don’t want to.”
She smiled at him. “No, it’s fine. Who else can actually carry a train-car full of missiles?”

Omg this is so good! Sam an Dekka are so in caracter. Keep it up, its really good !:)

Dodgy speech mark on a new line. lol

^Yes. I am Michael Grant the Second. Who is also an asian teenage girl. XD
And Peanut I can't find the dodgy speech mark lol

Chapter 3

Brianna was eating some crackers - which were stale, but good enough - when Sam knocked on the door of her boat.
She had opened the door in the blink of an eye. “Hi, Sam.” She said brightly.
Sam jumped onto the boat. “Hey. Is Jack around as well?”
Brianna sighed. “Yeah. I bet he’s reading an old comic or something. You know he brought them all with him?” She sounded disgusted. “I’ll go get him.”
All Sam saw was a blur and she was gone. He waited patiently, looking around him. It was evident that this was where Jack lived. Everything looked normal at first, but when you looked closer you could see dents in the furniture and random broken items.
Brianna blurred back into sight, with Jack a few feet behind. “Hi.” He said to Sam.
“I need a favour from you guys.” Sam said.
Brianna looked eager. “Sure. What do you need?”
“Some of us are going back to that train and bringing back the rest of the supplies, and we’re going to shift those missiles. It’s too dangerous to just leave them there. It would be great if you guys could come. Jack, you’d be carrying them away, and Brianna, you’d be running back and forth between the train and the lake, carrying some supplies.” Sam smiled when he saw the excited look on Brianna’s face. It was obvious that she hadn’t done anything remotely interesting in the past week. Jack, on the other hand, looked slightly irritated that he had work to do.
“Cool.” Brianna said. “When are we leaving?”
Sam thought about that. “Say, around, three? I’m not sure how long it will take to move all of it.”
“That’s fine.” She replied. “Who else is going?”
Sam didn’t want to make it awkward. Then again, Brianna didn’t know that he knew about Dekka saying that she loved her. “The three of us, Dekka, Orc and Edilio.” He couldn’t read Brianna’s reaction when he said ‘Dekka’.
Then Jack spoke. “Edilio? Why him?”
Sam shrugged. “He wants to help.” He paused, waiting for them to ask him anything more, but they didn’t. “Anyways, I should get going.” He gave a weak wave and left.

Taylor was able to bounce quite far up the highway, so she didn’t have to walk that far to the lake. It helped a lot that she could bounce as far as she could see. It meant that she was bouncing along the path more than walking it.
She suddenly had an awful thought. What if she ran into Drake? No one actually knew what had happened to him. The last place he had been seen was at Coates. He could be anywhere. She looked around her quickly, paranoid. She knew that she could just bounce away if she ran into him, but it still scared the hell out of her.
She wanted to get to the lake before it got dark, but she still didn’t know how she would find Diana. She had heard that it was a big lake, with loads of boats and tents. She could hardly knock on everyone’s door and ask if Diana was there.
Then again, she wasn’t sure if Diana had any friends to be with. All the people at the lake were hardly people she would usually hang out with.
In a way, Taylor was actually excited. She would enjoy threatening Diana. After everything she had done, it was time to give a bit of payback.

Sam, Edilio, Dekka, Jack and Brianna had all gathered at the FAYZ wall, on the opposite side of the lake. The only person missing was Orc.
They were just about to give up and leave without him when they felt rather than heard him approach. There were deep vibrations in the ground as he took each step.
Howard was with him.
“Oh, for the love of God.” Dekka sighed.
“T’sup, guys. I decided to join you all and make this a much more pleasant trip.” He said happily.
Sam looked at him sternly. “Howard, I’m being serious, if you say even one word out of line-”
“Whoa, whoa,” Howard interrupted him. “Let’s not get stressed out, Sammy. I’m sensing some negativity here.”
Sam rolled his eyes, but he ignored Howard and turned to the others. “We should make a move, otherwise it’ll get dark before we come back.”
They walked together like a kind of procession; Sam, Edilio and Dekka at the front, Jack and Brianna behind them, and Orc and Howard at the back.
Dekka turned to Sam. “You could’ve told me Brianna was coming!” She whispered.
Sam smiled guiltily. “I didn’t want you to freak out.” He said.
“Well, I am freaking out! This better not be awkward.” She sounded irritated, but he looked at her and she was smiling. “Thank you for caring, though.”

Diana woke up later that evening. She realised with surprise that she had slept the whole day.
She automatically dropped her hand to her stomach. Yes, it was still there. She could still feel her baby’s power.
She went outside. There were some kids playing around further down the dock. Others were sitting by the lake and talking. They looked happy.
A part of her wanted to go up to them. Talk to them.
But they were scared of her.
She remembered a time when she loved the way that people looked at her in fear. She loved that fact that they were intimidated.
And now she wished that they looked at her as a normal person, not an evil, manipulative witch. No one really knew her. Caine didn’t know her.
She didn’t even know herself.
All she did know was that she was going to be a good mother.
Diana turned suddenly. She was sure she had heard a noise behind her. But no one was there. Maybe she was getting paranoid. People were still kind of expecting Drake to turn up.
She thought about going to see Sam. Not for protection, just for company. But she knew that he didn’t really like hanging out with her.
She went back inside and looked for something to eat. She hadn’t eaten in a while, and she was suddenly hit with a pang of hunger. She ate some crackers and some dried apricots that Sam had left her.
Then she heard the floor creak behind her. She quickly turned around, her heart suddenly beating fast.
It was only Taylor. Diana started laughing for the first time in what felt like ages.
Taylor looked annoyed. “What’s so funny?”
“You. I thought you were Drake or someone.” She laughed again.
Taylor wasn’t smiling. She reached into her pocket and pulled out a knife.

So MG the second is Taylor? DODGY!!! Lol

^haha actually I meant sri-lankan asian but never mind

Chapter 4

Diana stopped laughing, and stared at Taylor. “What are you doing?” She stared at the knife. It was a pen-knife, and had opened up to be long and thin.
“Caine wants you back, Diana.” Taylor said, slowly coming closer.
“Alive or dead?” She scoffed, hiding her fear well.
Taylor smirked. “He said to do whatever I had to. So are you going to come willingly?”
“You’re not going to kill me. Or even stab me. We both know that.” Diana said as confidently as she could.
Taylor laughed. “Do you remember when you encased my hands in concrete? And when you watched as the coyotes came and the fire was burning and people died?” She was breathing heavily. “I think you underestimate me, Diana. Anyway, Caine told me that I have to bring you back, otherwise there’ll be consequences. And I don’t like consequences.”
Diana was silent. She couldn’t tell whether Taylor was bluffing or not. She saw to her right that her window was open. She could easily shout for help. But then Taylor would think she was weak.
She wasn’t weak.
“Well, Caine’s going to be sincerely disappointed.” Diana tried to smirk. “I’m not going back, Taylor. And you should have known that by staying with Caine there would always be consequences.” She paused, suddenly thinking of another idea. “You don’t have to go back, you know. Sam would forgive you. And Astrid’s no longer in picture...”
She trailed off to let that sink in with Taylor.
Then Taylor scoffed. “Nice try. But I’m perfectly fine at Perdido Beach.”
Diana didn’t know what else to say to that, so they stared at each other in silence. She wondered if she should tell Taylor that she was pregnant. Surely she wouldn’t hurt her then? But she knew that Caine would end up hearing about it, and she didn’t want him to have anything to do with her child.
Then Taylor spoke. “I’m not leaving without you, Diana.” She was still clutching her knife.
She wouldn’t, Diana thought; she’s too weak.
Diana glanced at her door. All she had to do was run outside. Taylor would bounce, but she could at least try to run away. Sam would be around, or someone.
She looked out of her window, trying to look distracted, and then suddenly ran for the door.
Too slow.

Jack picked up the first missile carefully and carried it away to the large hole in the ground, which had been dug up a few days earlier. Edilio and Sam had thought it would be best to bury them. At first they had thought that Sam could just burn them up, but they weren’t sure if the missiles would explode.
Orc, Jack and Dekka set to work carrying each missile, whilst Brianna took a large box containing lots of nutella and started running back to the lake.
She didn’t take that long to get there. She ran along the FAYZ wall so that she wouldn’t get lost, and once she reached the lake, she ran around it to Sam’s boat. She quickly put the box down in his living room and bolted it out the door. She was about to run around the lake again when she suddenly skidded to a stop.
Did she hear a scream?
She ran back towards the lined up boats, slower this time, so that she could investigate. She started with the smallest boat, and then, after a pause, decided to knock on the door. “Hello?” She called out. No answer.
But then she heard a small whimper from inside. She suddenly remembered that this was Diana’s boat. “Diana? Are you...OK?” She called. “Open the door.”
There was still no answer. Brianna thought that maybe she should just leave. Maybe she had imagined the whimper.
But she was pretty sure she had heard the scream. “Diana, open the door.” She said more urgently. Brianna didn’t know much about pregnancy, but she knew that something must be wrong for her to be screaming.
Then she noticed the open window. She climbed as fast and as smoothly as she could. It was dark in there.
But she still saw Taylor, who had a shocked expression on her face.
She was holding a bloody knife.
“What did you-” Brianna stopped. She saw Diana curled up on the ground. She was pale, and bleeding a lot. “Oh God.”
Diana was crying softly. “Get Lana.” She whispered. Brianna looked up. Taylor had already disappeared.

It took Taylor a while to find Lana. She bounced into every boat, surprising many people, until she found her.
Lana was lying on her bed, with Patrick next to her. “Taylor?” She looked confused. Then she saw the bloody knife that Taylor was holding.
“I didn’t mean to do it.” She said loudly.
Taylor ran with Lana to Diana’s boat, instead of bouncing.
Lana knelt down next to Diana and put her hands on the wound. It was deep. She had been stabbed in the stomach. In the lower stomach.
Diana was sobbing now. “It’s getting weaker. I can barely feel it.” Her hands were over her womb. “Save it.” She said to Lana.
Lana looked uncomfortable. “I can’t - I can’t cure...if it’s already dying, I can’t cure that. I’m sorry.” Diana cried even harder. Brianna and Taylor were both watching in shock. They had never seen Diana this way.
Then Taylor stepped forward. “Wait - ‘it’? What are you talking about?”
Diana moaned. She suddenly looked weak. “Make her go away.” She whispered to Lana.
Taylor suddenly put two and two together. “Oh, my God. She’s pregnant.”
Lana turned towards her. “Look, Taylor. You’re not exactly helping right now.”
“Does Caine know?”
Brianna folded her arms and faced Taylor. “Why don’t you just crawl back into your little hole with Caine? We don’t need you here.” She stared hard at Taylor.
“I’m...I’m sorry.” Taylor said shakily. She glanced again at Diana and bounced back to the Town Plaza at Perdido Beach.
She stood there for some time. The past five minutes had felt like a dream.
Did she really just stab Diana? Pregnant Diana?
Taylor could barely remember what she had done. It had all merged into one big blur. But she knew that she had to put it right.
She went to find Caine.
