Kira held Lizzie's hand, and in turn, Lizzie held Maddi's as they chained together, and walked inland. Kira knew there had to be somewhere they could get to when she saw the trees ahead. She was trying to lead them to safety now since she had put them in such danger. Little did Kira know that they were not the only ones on the island, that there were four others that had scrambled for shelter, trying to ride out the terrible storm.<br/><br/>Eventually Kira made to to the tree cover and began to look for anything that would allow them shelter for the night.  She came upon a tight ring of trees that would probably fit the three of them in the middle. It wasn't perfect, but it was something. The canopy was low, and was better than anything else she had walked past. She walked steadily to the ring, pulling her girls along. Once inside, the rain did not pound them as hard, and they could at least huddle close to keep warm.<br/><br/>She gathered close to them, tired and exhausted beyond belief. She didn't know if there were animals on the island or anything that could harm them in anyway, still, she fought sleep as much as she could. "We should be ok here until morning. Then we can assess the boat." She knew her friends were tired, she could see it in their faces. "I'll stay awake, you two get some sleep if you can. We'll need our energy for the morning."<br/><br/>Kira sat there, knees to chest, rocking back and forth to keep warm as her friends huddled for sleep. Yes once the morning came they would have to check the Misty Blue and see if it was salvageable, but for now they had to conserve strength and get through this awful night.
