The Untold Romance

Chapter 3

The blackness was frigid and petrifying. I tried to open my tired eyes but failed miserably. I felt myself being pulled to and fray, like a ragdoll in two selfish toddler's grasp. I felt myself slipping from what consciousness I had left. All the while, the icy toddler's hands were still yanking on me, until I began to sink even deeper into the nothingness that enveloped me. I couldn't think, I couldn't see, or even try to break free from the toddler's ruthless tug of war that held me. It was like the frigid darkness had seeped into me, stealing any free will and hope I had left. I began to grow weary, and my single thread of desire to make it out of the darkness was thinning. When finally I felt the icy pain no longer and my mind went back to the blankness that it had been succumbed to before.

I felt a warm light shining on my face, and soft sand-like hearth beneath me. The dreaded Darkness started to weaken, and I felt my eyelids winning in the fight to rise again. As my lids finally triumphed over their aggressor, I awoke to the deep blue sky and the lovely warmth that I had noticed before shining in the sky. My head was throbbing, and my throat felt like I had swallowed steel wool. But, I was awake and delighted to finally be able to take in the warmth that my body needed.

Then reality started to take its toll on my aching mind. The memories of a ship being struck down by a bolt of lightning, the handsome man that had been floating in the water, the captain screaming my name before the icy darkness took hold of me. But none of those compared to the thought of the time I spent with the handsome man, the man whose blonde hair I could not spot as I frantically looked at my surroundings. The island that I had been washed onto had no one in sight. I closed my eyes and should have been wishing that this was only a dream, that Instead I was sleeping in my cot, back in the city. Instead, I prayed that if I opened my eyes, the lovely figure of Mark would come running towards me. His face grinning with happiness, relieved as much as I was to see the other.

But, when I opened my eyes, I saw no one. I felt like crumpling into the sand and giving up. The pure terrifying thought of being trapped on this island alone, was making my eyes water and my lips start to tremble. I was stronger than this; I shouldn't be having a breakdown, not now at least. I needed to search and try and find help, but then the thought of the boat came back to my mind. What was the fate of the proud captain? The kind crew? I couldn't even think of the last person's name. My heart was throbbing in my chest. My eyes started to sting, and my body started to shudder with pure agony. I had only known him for a couple hours, and yet my entire world was spinning at the thought of him perishing. What was going on with me? I wished now that I had never gone on that blasted boat. I wouldn't be here, and feeling like this. But, the small voice in the back of my mind told me otherwise. I had loved the ship ride. Even though it had brought me to this state, I knew I would never totally regret getting on it.

Just then a hand came and rested on my shoulder. My heart skipped a beat as I turned my head towards the comforter, my whole being hoping it was the green eyes that stole my heart, which would look into mine once again. I was dead wrong.
