At a loss, the six youths sat upon the sand. At least it remained warm. A bit too warm, in fact, but hopefully the evening and then the night would offer a bit of coolness. They talked upon the sand, removing their clothes until they were all in their undergarments. It felt like they were in bathing attire - or so they tried to tell themselves. Modesty seemed very unimportant when they had been transported to another realm - understandably so.
"Look," Chris said while he looked in the distance. "There are quite a few other islands on the horizon."
"I wonder how big they are," Britney said, squinting.
"They might be farther than they appear," mumbled Mike.
"And would we reach them? How could we possibly build a boat?" argued Lily.
As they looked questioningly at the other small islands, they were unaware of the shadowy figure that came silently upon them. A bipedal figure that had been attracted by all the noise that the youths were creating. Curious, it had observed them, camouflaged in the water and unseen. It had been very intrigued indeed. Then it had been struck by instinct, desire and lust. It had approached, and when Lily noticed the creature, a gillman straight from a lagoon in a movie, she screamed, followed of course by all the others. The gillman, annoyed by the shrill noises, acted fast. It seized Britney and dragged her into the water, disappearing with her in the waves. It had found what he considered a decent mate and was happy with her. He just required one. He made his way into his cavernous lair. The others could only stare at the place in the foam and waves where the creature had disappeared, their friend abducted. What would happen to them? And what would happen to her? What could this horrid creature want with her exactly?
