Chapter 57

Katie's POV

As the weeks went by, we began to see signs of hope. The island's residents had banded together to start rebuilding, and aid was beginning to trickle in from neighboring countries.

And finally, after nearly a month on the island, we received word that a rescue team was on its way. We packed our few belongings and waited anxiously for the helicopter to arrive.

When it finally touched down on the beach, we ran towards it, tears streaming down our faces. We had survived, and we knew that we had each other to thank for it.

As we flew away from the island, I looked out at the beautiful paradise that had become our home for a short time. It had been a difficult journey, but we had come out the other side stronger and more united as a family.

And as we returned home, I knew that we would carry the lessons we had learned on the island with us for the rest of our lives. We would always remember the power of resilience, the importance of working together, and the strength of family.
