<strong>Lizzie</strong><br/><br/>Things seemed to happen so fast but at the same time in almost slow motion.  The weather was frightening!! The girls did what they could and Lizzie, like Kira was only to happy to let Maddi take the lead.  They worked together, trying to battle the storm out, and they were doing a good job.  Until the reef got in their way.<br/><br/>The call to abandon ship wasn't really a surprise, but then at the same time it sent waves of panic through the usually cool Doctor.  They would be killed, drowned, battered against the jagged rocks.  Her imagination ran riot until she forcibly took control of herself, it was no good going off into panic now, they had to survive this.  Somehow they just had too.<br/><br/>Lizzie could hear the crashing of the waves on the reef.  The wind was loud, and the rain stinging against her face.  She had bought her medical bag up with her, lashing it to the railings, she knew the items in there would be needed if anyone was hurt.  The darkness seemed to pull around her, and she knew right then it was each to their own.  She reached her bag, untied it and then tied it around her, lashing it around her waist.  Then she undid her safety line and jumped from the yacht.<br/><br/>The water was cold, her breath seemed to burn in her lungs as she fought the storm enraged waters.  She swam, struggling to keep afloat.  She could just make out the shape of a beach when the lightening lit up the sky.  She swam towards it, frequently being pulled under, taking gulps of salty sea water as she fought to get to the beach.<br/><br/>Was that the bottom?  She wasn't sure, she had felt something.  Yes, it was, she was standing now, the sandy bottom a glad feeling.  She dragged herself onto the shore, collapsing onto her hands and knees as she coughed up what she had swallowed.  She looked around, but she couldn't see the others.  She needed to get her breath back.  She crawled up the beach, away from the waters edge, the rain was falling heavily and the winds howling around her.  But at least she was on the shore.  She would get her breath back, hope the storm would die down and then try to find the others.<br/><br/>She didn't dare think about what would happen then.  At least she was alive.  She couldn't say the same of Kira or Maddi.  She didn't know, she sent a prayer to the Heavens, maybe someone was watching out for them.  She hoped so, because this was just the start, and she had a feeling thinge would only get worse.
