Warped Remains

Emily Sheffield's parents are the worst. Okay, maybe Emily has been erratic and her behavior a little reckless lately, but shipping her off to live with her grandparents in Alaska is so much worse than she deserves. For Aiden Cohen, life in Alaska is perfect: good grades, great friends, and work he loves. There's just one thing missing: his mom. But a disastrous first meeting with his birth mom leaves Aiden stunned and ready to go back to his ordinary life in Alaska. A confusion on the runaway prevents the plane from landing, but when the plane hits a bad patch of turbulence, throwing it off-course, the pilots lose control. The plane crashes, leaving Emily, Aiden, and two dozen other passengers stranded on a creepy island. But they aren't the only ones on the island, and it's now a race against time for someone to find them before the island's inhabitants do. WARPED REMAINS is created by Kara Leigh Miller, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.

Chapter 48: Emily: Friend or Foe?

"Where did you get the arrow, Jason?" My voice is steady and accusatory. Nothing he's said so far makes any sense. "And how did you get close enough to hear these people talk?"

Aiden gives me a surprised look, his eyes wide and jaw open. I don't pay him much attention, though, because I'm too focused on Jason. I'm a master liar, and I can tell when someone is lying to me. And Jason is definitely lying.

"I found the arrow on the ground," Jason says, his gaze darting around nervously. "So, I picked it up."

I narrow my eyes, but before I can say anything more, Aiden speaks up. "There were a lot of arrows flying through the air, and not a single one missed its intended target."

My thoughts exactly.

"Fine. I yanked it out of a body. Is that really want you want to hear?" he snaps.

I bend over and pick up the arrow. "There's no blood on this."
