The flow of water rushing into high tide was kind of peaceful, I told myself. The flock and I are on an island, and I know what you're thinking but this was so not my idea. The thought of being on an island just waiting to be attacked was nerve racking.
I, myself, am sitting in the sand out of the reach of the water, watching most everyone playing in the ocean. The exception was Fang who is sitting next to me in the sand, fingers interlaced with mine, watching the others. Angel was getting lunch, literally. Don't get me wrong, I love Angel but the whole 'get fish to become dinner' thing was completely and totally freaking me out. Then I see Gazzy dive bomb the water and make a big splash, and Nudge is putting various shells into Iggy's hand. Total is not with us here on this beautiful oasis (note sarcasm on 'beautiful oasis') because he couldn't stand to leave Akila.
About five minutes later, Angel runs up to Fang and me. "Hey! I got some fish. Can we eat now?"
Getting up from the sand and letting go of Fangs hand to dust off my pants I reply," Sure I will start a fire, you go get everyone else." Watching her run off, I grab some wood and make a fire.
~*~*~*~
"That was good. Too bad we didn't have any kabobs! That would have been better-hmmph!"Nudge was rambling until someone put there hand over her mouth. I was too lazy to look up to see who it was though.
"You know, we haven't seen the rest of the island on foot. I mean, I know we flew over it but can we go explore?" Looking up I see Gazzy looking at me.
"Sure why not? Let's go! Everyone up! We are going exploring!"I say slowly getting to my feet. With this I get a few excited "Woo-hoo's" .
After putting out the fire, coveting any trails we left 'cuz were paranoid like that, and grabbing anything we might want to bring with us, we were off into the wood like part of the island. And being as smooth as I am, trip over a huge root and fall face first into dirt as soon as we head off. Rolling over so I'm on my back I see Nudge and Angel looking at me. Sitting up I see Fang, Gazzy, and Iggy laughing at me for tripping over the stupid root. And, I see a house with someone looking through the window straight at us.
