Vanishing Island

This was definitely kinda fun to come up with. I've always loved a good "stranded on an island" plot but I wanted to add a bit of a fantasy twist to it. The deadly water horses are based on the Capaill Uisce from the book The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater. That and I am also very horse crazy.

Plot
While on an incredible school trip, a group of teens are shipwrecked in a storm. While in the lifeboat they can hear terrifying screams and shrieks...as if there were monsters in the water. After such a terrifying night they end up on an uncharted island, though it turns out that the island isn't as deserted as it seems. A mysterious girl, on a flame-colored horse, shows up and insists they get off the beach. What strange place have they ended up? Who's that strange girl and what's so dangerous about the sea? What made those screams?

Setting
It is set on the island of Equinesia, once the home to a great kingdom and named for the wild horses that call it home. However things are not quite as peaceful as they seem, for the seas surrounding the island are full of blood thirsty water horses. More on the history of the island can be found here.
