Robyn. Thomas Nickerson. In The Heart of The Sea. Part 2.
~RECAP!~
Her wound was slightly better, but, not by much.
"Isaac YLN was George Pollard's cousin."
"Best friends until a ship-thing went wrong."
"LAND!!"

The guys got out the paddles and began rowing towards land, and looking very hungry/thirsty. The boat got close to shore, and all of the guys got out and swam to land. Thomas and Owen helped Robyn out of the boat and Owen helped her onto his back, before swimming to shore. They layed her down and got one of the more trained lads in medical to inspect her wound. It was healing, but looked swollen. They tore another bit of her shirt off, to wrap it up. They then scavenged the island for food. Thomas was told to move Robyn to the cave, and make a fire. Once they were in, Robyn began mumbling. Thomas ignored her, until she shouted his name. She was tossing and turning, and Thomas felt he had no choice but to wake her up. She was sobbing before her eyes were open. She flung her arms around his torso and began weeping. Once she'd calmed down, Thomas moved her over, slightly closer to the fire and against the wall. They fell asleep in each other's grasp.
When Owen and the others returned, George suddenly gasped. "I KNEW her face looked familiar. She's Isaac's daughter." Owen looed around the cave for a while, and saw some decomposing bodies. He ran back and told the others what he had seen. George made them leave right away. Thomas fought toe-and-nail to make sure he and Robyn were in the same boat. They were in with Owen and 2 others. Once they were out on the sea, they had no choice but to eat raw fish, that they could catch, and sea-water. It was that or die of starvation and dehydration. Nobody knows how long later, Thomas guessed near a week, 1 person had died. The others were severely ill, and sunburnt. Thomas was laying down in the boat, at death's door. Owen was trying his very best to keep him and Robyn alive. He heard a gurgle and looked over at Thomas, half submerged in the water. He lifted his head up and placed it against the side of the boat. "Where-wheresRobyn..." He slurred, looking very ill. Owen pointed to where Robyn was sat, staring into the ocean. Robyn had recovered from her wound, and was now back to her old self... ish. She crawled over and sat next to him, and the 2 friends hugged, and fell back asleep. Before they knew it, they were on land. Somewhere off the coast of Chilli. They got treated and cared for, and were placed on a ship, much to Robyn and Thomas' discomfort, back to Nantucket.

~8 YEARS LATER~
Robyn and Thomas had married and moved to Australia, wanting to escape to a quieter place. There, they raised 4 children, 3 girls and a boy: Alice(after Robyn's aunt), Evelynn (after Robyn's mother), Maria (after Thomas' mother) and Daniel (after Thomas' father)
Neither one of them ever stepped foot back in a boat, nor did they plan to... Ever.
