Ana walked outside and tended to the fire, quickly and efficiently, she used her knowledge from girl scouts, tv, and books (she KNEW they would come in handy one day) to create a water filter, and began boiling. When things were going well, she poked her head inside the jet. "Um, Sean?" she asked. "I need your help for a minute, that is, unless Kel still needs you." She looked at the girl. "Try to rest, and we will be back as soon as we can, with fresh water. Warm, but clean and healthy."
 
Ana shut the door behind her. She then took Sean's arm and brought him to the tree line. "Listen," she said quietly, "I just wanted to let you know what happened to everyone else." She took a deep breath, then looked Sean straight in the eyes. "Sean," she said sadly, "Everyone else from your trip that was shipwrecked with you...is dead." Ana looked down at her trembling hands. "Kel told me." Her voice was trembling now too, and came out in a whisper as she looked back up at Sean, pure fear in her eyes. "There are cannibals on this island, and they..." She broke off, not able to say it, winced, and buried her face in her hands. She looked back up at Sean. "I'm frightened Sean. Truly and deeply frightened. Kel has nightmares about them. She screams horribly and talks in her sleep. I'm completely afraid for my life for the first time on this island. Before, when we were wandering through the jungle, I thought we would be fine, but now..." She hugged herself as her lip trembled and she looked out to sea.
 
Sean hung his head, knowing that Kel and Ana needed him now more than ever. "Well........this is out of my leauge, but I'll deal with them", he said with a stern voice.
 
Ana wiped her tears. "Don't do anything rash Sean," she said, looking at him fearfully. "We still need you here. Kel and I both."
 
"There might be a possibility that I'll have to make some risky desicions, but for now we have to keep an eye out", he replied. "Good thing my grandfather taught me how to make javelins out of spare wood", he said to himself. "I need to find a few good sticks I'll be back", he said heading towards the forest.
 
Eyes wide, Ana shook her head back and forth quickly. "Please don't leave just yet. We have to make sure Kel is safe, so someone has to go back and watch her while the other gets the water ready. I'll look for fire wood and bring the sticks to you. You can sit in the jet doorway and look at them for whatever you need."
 
Ana quickly gathered more wood, keeping her eyes and ears open. Soon she had enough and brought them back to Sean, told him to give the ones he didn't want to her, and went back to filtering.
 
Sean found ten good ones, and placed the left over ones to the side for Ana. He than took out his pocket knife and began forming good, sharp tipped javelins.
 
"There's two down eight more to go", he said to himself. "I'm making javelins; my grandfather showed my how to make one and how to properly throw one too," he told her.
 
"That's cool," she said. "And it will help us feel safer. Well, I don't know about Kel," she added before standing up. "I have enough water filtered to last us hopefully the rest of the day. I will go to the water and hold the jugs there for a bit so the water isn't so hot before filling a bottle for Kel."
 
Kel stood up, shakily and walked around. Her legs felt weak as she walked around the plane. She had a sense that she'd been out for a few days...she sat back down, she hated this sickness.
