Fernando took Scarlet in his arms and silent music filled the air.. only music the two of them could hear. He swung her over the beach and danced softly with her.. swaying quietly together .. Scarlet dreamily followed his lead. Sandalwood and basalm continued to lure her direction and became even more stronger when she rested her head upon his shoulder. Fernando was so gentile and so masculine, his charms were so different then the men in her life had been. She didn't want the evening to last..

Yet.. she kept seeing Isabella peering out from the bushes along the upper coast.. A crackling sharp noise brought Scarlets attention as she sharply turned her focus on a man and woman walking up to Fernando and herself.. as the couple got closer she could see that it was Jim and Amelia.. 

Her dress glimmered in the moon lite.. the gems sparkled and danced with beams as she moved. *Hey wait she thought, where did I get this dress?* The thought left her as soon as she had taken it in..  she lifted her glass and sipped on the wine.. letting it splash down her throat. Soon she was floating, and her vision became blurred. Apparently it would take time for her to adjust to the strength of the wine made on the island.

Time moved so quickly, the evening fluttered past. Scarlet enjoyed Fernando's company and thanked him again for his chivalry. She looked forward to future meetings with him.. and excused herself from the table. He stood and tenderly looked deep into her eyes as if to silently say the night was still very young.. and she would be missed.. She withdrew the eye contact.. and stepped away.. turning a bit and shuffling into the night..

"UMmmmmURRGGggggg!!!" Scarlet gurgles through the tight fabric twisted and wrapped around her head gagging her mouth. "Aaacc esss aaaawwww" Scarlet screams at her captor. She twists herself hoping to catch her wrapped up hands against something to urge the cord loose with..

The tall lean figure is propped up against the wall, he silently whistles a tune to himself.. occassionally he looks over at Scarlet. He wears a scarf draped over most of his face as if to hide himself .. would she recognize the man if it were removed? she thinks to herself. He didn't seem too familar, at least not when he was bringing her here.. Of course would anyone really feel familar if they would have slung her over their shoulder as this man had? "Waaaaaa YYYyUUUUU uuunnnnn?" She asks of him as though he really can understand her. He looks over at her puzzled, and shakes his head. He turns to stare out the window as the sun slowly melts accross the horizon.

scarlet thinks to herself.. *did I just say that outloud?.. how rude I must have sounded".. before the thought of those harse words could be absorbed fully in.. she added.. "Well.. I didn't fly in like you two had, I was on a Cruise, we had docked up at one of the islands and I got off to do some shopping.. I found this cozy cafe' and decided to rest a bit with a double mocha coffee.. I ended up getting mesmerized by the Island music coming from the band just out on the patio. I missed the reboarding of the Princess Cathryn and when I realized it I had to hire a taxi raft to take me out.. unfortunately the ship was too far out and my rafter didn't want to lose the commission.. We hit something which tore into the raft and soon we were surrounded by water.. I couldn't find where my hired man went and fought the water on my own.. I managed to get some drift wood and held on.. I must have passed out since I have no real memory of drifting.. I just know that several days back.. I was washed up on the shore and woke up. I slept in some clumped bushes and have been eating banana's and coconuts.. I was more than excited to see people on this island. Does anyone have a cell phone on them? OR is there phone service on the island?? Is there a hotel.. We need to get to the town area.. *Scarlet seems a bit panicked* if I could just call the cruise line I can find out where to meet up with the ship.

Scarlet extends her hand "It is so wonderful to meet you Miss Earhart, you have had us all in a tizzy since search parties were never able to find you or your plane. How have you been able to manage all this time?"

Scarlet lQQks over the area as if to search for other life.. "Are you here with anyone else?" she boldly questions. Jim eagerly awaits a responce and searches the immediate area with his eyes. Nudging Scarlets forearm slightly as he notices movement in the bushes just west of them, he bobs his tilted head to alert Scarlet. Emilia, fully aware now that the island guests are a bit nervous, shouts out to the bushes "It's okay Clayton. They aren't here to hurt us. They are friends. Would you like to come over and meet them?"

Scarlet and Jim patiently wait while a brown haired young boy with a face of freckles sluggishly walks over to the group of them. "Hello young man", starts Jim only to soon be interrupted by Amelia's introduction. "Clayton, this is Scarlet and Jim. Clayton is my adopted son so to speak, his parents were great friends of mine. I took over Claytons care when Natashia and Sam met their fate in an accident in the cave on the other side of the Island. Amelia nervously looked away.

"Are you the only two here? Scarlet asks. Jim perks up a bit waiting to learn more.. Amelia turns around opening her arms as if to cast a spotlight down for all to see.. "There are others here.. Families, and individuals who happened here one way or another", she swings back around to face Jim and Scarlet.. "Just as you two had came about"

Clayton shuffles sand with his foot and kicks at an imaginary ball.. the sea sweeps in leaving a cottony foam along the coast.. while seagulls flap their wings to swoop down and gather their catch of the day!

Jim and Scarlet follow Amelia with full trust while the young lad hop scotches a stride right behind them.
