Hey I'm back to write my first Dawson's Creek story! Just remember I do not own or have anything to do with the show, all rights go to Kevin Williamson and others. I hope you enjoy Lost on Witch Island.
IMPORTANT STORY NOTE: This story takes place season 1, so just forget about the Witch Island episode in season 3, because it's going to start off similar.
Outside POV:
Jen, Joey, Pacey and Dawson sat around Dawson's room late Friday night in their usual spots.
"This movie is so lame!' Pacey said leaning back against the headboard.
"The Blair Witch Project is not lame!" Dawson said offended, "Plus it's getting us in the spirit for filming tomorrow"
"About that, do you really think filming a documentary on a supposedly haunted island is really safe?" Joey said making an unsure face.
"Awww is little Joey scared of some island?" Pacey said in a teasing matter while putting his arm around her.
"No I'm not scared!" Joey exclaimed, "And get your arm away from me pig" She said removing his arm and scotching away from him.
"It'll be fine Joey, knowing Dawson everything will go fine" Jen said putting a hand on Dawson's knee.
You could see Dawson start to get a little red in the cheeks and tongue tied as Jen batted her long eyelashes. At the same time you can see a spark of jealousy in Joey's eye, while Pacey stared at her knowing exactly what she was thinking, Back off Jen.
"Alright enough fighting about how Joey's scared and how Pacey doesn't like this movie, we have to do more research on the island anyway, Jen and I will cover the news paper articles on the missing people from the island and you two can cover the ones on the witches that once lived there" Dawson said handing out the news paper clippings. "We all know the story right?" Dawson continued explaining, "Back in the 1600s, about thirteen young girls who were believed to be witches were sent to what we know as Witch Island, one girl was taken from her lover, she expected him to come and take her back, but he never did. Beside from that point the town built the girls a church on the island and sent a priest their every Sunday for mass hoping it would help them, but after a while the priest stopped coming after being tormented by the girls, after losing hope in the girls recovery men from the town came and tried to set fire to the church, killing all of the girls, but the church is still in good condition somehow, and now they say the girls angry spirits still haunt the area, especially the church" Dawson said while looking down at his clipping. The air in the room suddenly turned eerie and chilled.
"Well that's depressing" Jen said reading her article, "I mean, just think about how that poor girl felt, expecting her love to come around but he never does, I mean no wonder the girl's spirit is still mad"
"Well there is one theory, that when the witches think two people are just right for each other, they'll give them a sign, and they'll know it's right" Dawson said making intense eye contact with Jen, as Joey rolled her eyes. Everyone knew Dawson was secretly praying that the witches would give him and Jen a sign.
After looking over all of the documents they started planning their exploration for tomorrow.
"Alright so what time we leaving tomorrow?" Pacey asked, "Because you know, I don't wake up until about eleven on Saturdays"
"Sorry Pace, but we have to leave her at about nine a.m to get the full forty eight hour footage" Dawson said collecting all of the papers off his bed. "First we'll stop at the historian's station near the boat dock to talk to the historian there and to get a map of the island, first I think we should explore the island, then visit the cemetery where the girls are buried, then we should set up camp, and if it's not dark by then, we'll go to the church" Dawson planned, "And if we don't get to the church tomorrow, then we'll go before we leave Sunday, Joey, do you have the list of what to bring?"
"Yeah, right here," Joey said grabbing the list off of Dawson's prop covered desk, "Alright, we need flash lights, radios, batteries, extra jackets, a tent, extra clothes, sleeping bags…"
"Well we know Jen and Dawson can share one," Pacey said in a smug fashion.
"Shut up Pacey" Dawson said getting embarrassed.
"Well Pacey, maybe you and Joey can share one," Jen said putting up and eye brow.
"All right, well I've dealt with enough humiliation tonight, so I'm going to head home now" Joey said standing up from the bed.
"Yeah, I'll walk you home, don't want the witches to get you," Pacey said standing next to Joey.
"Well that's oddly kind you Pacey" Joey said pushing her hair behind her ear.
"Yeah well he is right Joe, don't want those witches to get you" Dawson agreed, "Well bye guys, and remember, be here, nine o'clock sharp" He instructed as Joey and Pacey climbed out of the window.
"Bye guys!" They said as the left the room.
"They're kind of cute you know," Jen said smiling at Dawson. "The way they bicker all the time"
"Who? Joey and Pacey? They've fought since we've been kids" He said laughing.
"Yeah, they're stuck in a grade school attraction for each other," Jen started "except there's way more sexual tension, I wouldn't be surprised if they just couldn't take it anymore and just attacked each other" She explained.
"Yeah, well I'd rather not think about Joey and Pacey having sex, but thanks for that mental image"
"No problem, Oh crap!" She exclaimed looking at her watch, "It's already quarter to eleven, Grams is going to kill me" She said grabbing her purse, "I'll see you tomorrow" Jen said giving Dawson a kiss on the cheek and smiling at him one last time before heading out the door.
"Bye Jen" Dawson said feeling happier then he's ever had.
Joey's POV:
Pacey and I climbed out of Dawson's bed room window, with Pacey going down the ladder first, and I started down once he was about halfway. Once I started going down I started thinking how I probably should have gone down first because he was probably looking at my butt right now. Once I was about half way down the ladder I heard the sound of his sneakers hit the grass. I soon reached the third rung of the ladder when I felt Pacey's large, warm hands grab my tiny waist. The feeling of our skin making contact felt like a lightning bolt hit me; it felt like nothing I've felt before.
"Here I got you," He said helping me down.
"Thanks" I said brushing the hair out of my face trying not to make eye contact wondering how red my face is"
"You mind if I row you home?" He asked as we walked down the long dock.
"No, feel free" I said as he took my hand and helped me into the row boat then untied the rope holding us to the dock. "Pace, can I ask you a question"
"Sure Joe, shoot" He said rowing with is toned arms.
"Why are you being so nice to me?" I said staring at my worn out shoes.
"Well although we fight and banter, you're one of my best friends Joey," He started, "And I've seen how upset you've been lately, you know about Dawson and Jen"
"I'm not upset about Jen and Dawson!" I said defensively as my eyes started to fill with tears.
"Come on Joe, look you're crying just talking about it!" He started, "Oh shit, you're crying" he said in a startled tone, "Joey, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you cry, come here, come here" He said first wiping my tears then wrapping his arms around me in a comforting way, and usually the last person I would want to see me like this would be Pacey, but I mean who else do I have right now.
"Of course you have to see me like this" I said pulling back embarrassed.
"Yeah, but why?" He asked
"Why what?" I said confused.
"Why are you upset? And before you start saying how Jen, the New York vixen stole your 'soul mate', think about this Joe, you are a beautiful girl, and I know any guy would love to have you." Pacey said walking me to my front door.
"I'll see you tomorrow Pace," I said waving goodbye.
"Oh and Joey," He said as I was almost in the house, "And if Dawson can't see that, he must be blind or dumb" He said walking backwards toward the way home.
All right, so I hope you enjoyed chapter one of Lost on Witch Island. I realized the start was a bit boring but don't give up on the story yet, it'll get better I promise. Love you guys!
