Lonely, Side by Side

There was nothing left for Josée to do. She knew deep down that she wasn't able to kill whoever it was that killed her brother; and even so, if she did try, could she really kill them with just her blackjack. That seemed very unlikely. But at least Cisco was safe, Cisco was living proof that her time on the island was worthwhile, it proved that she could do something good with her life.

A nearby loudspeaker suddenly screamed at her and an unknown voice spoke, Josée guessed that the rescue mission may have messed the terrorists up a bit but she didn't think that it would actually result in Danya missing his morning announcement. Josée listened intently, she didn't expect them to mention the escape, as they would be too embarrassed to admit that they had been beaten. But they did.

"Next up... well kids, let's just say that this next part is why you don't try and escape the island, alright? The following individuals were killed trying to make a break for it."

Josée's heart stopped, she turned to the speaker as it rang off name after name of students who had nearly made it back to the other side. She muttered to herself. "Not Cisco, please not Cisco." But as the voice read off Cisco's name, Josée fell to the floor and cried. "Why Cisco! Why did it have to be you!" she screamed at the speaker through sobs.

Every time she tried to save someone, every time she turned her back for one second. They die! What was Josée doing wrong. First her brother, her best friend, and now Cisco. She had only known him for a few days and yet it seemed like she had known him her whole life. And now she had nothing, she was stuck, alone on an island full of murderers and all she had was a club. "I will avenge you Cisco. I promise." But Josée was scared, very scared. For a split second, she wished she had a First Edition 'Carol Channing Sings Children's Songs' Vinyl to hold right now.
