Alright, I haven't been writing due to school, I'm sorry. I began writing this chapter on my iTouch on the way to school, and decided it would be an efficient way to actually get stuff done, since that's a bit of free time. I hope you enjoy the chapter. What I wanted to accomplish here was to get them out of the island, introduce two more important characters, and develop a bit of romance between the two. Leave me feedback!
I stared into the clear water, standing waist deep into the water, and held my shield and dagger on both my hands and stared into the water. I focused my sight on a small school of fish and remained still until they swam a bit closer to my, and then with a swift movement stabbed the dagger through the thin barrier of water, and within the same second, stabbed the tip of the bladed shield through and felt a few vibrations on the handles and pulled them out of the water. Two fish were stabbed through the dagger and shield as all the other fish quickly swam away.
'I'm not as good at this as she is,' I thought, beginning to walk towards the sand.
I grabbed two sticks and put the sticks through the two fishes and laid them on a rock over the fire I kept alive with dry grasses and sticks overnight. I looked over at Lillian, who was still fast asleep, and slowly sat down on another rock and stared at the cooking fish.
It was all quiet, until a voice spoke to me, as if from the heavens.
"Luck, we found where the plane would've crashed, and we're on our way," Dando said, in a reassuring tone.
"Thanks a lot Dando, I appreciate it man," I said, with a sigh of relief.
"I also brought a little surprise along, I'll see you in a bit," He said quickly, before going quiet.
I stood up and yawned, but I wasn't sleepy due to the anxiety of getting out of here. I took out a small bottle of water, and took a small sip, leaving a lot for Lillian. I heard a few sounds behind me, and quickly turned, with my hand quickly on my right hip.
"Good morning Luck," she said, sitting up and stretching slightly.
"Good morning, Dando is on his way to come get us, and I caught some fish for you to eat," I said, sitting down by her.
"That's good, what are we going to do after though?" Lillian asked, grabbing the fish I left to cook for her.
"I want you to go somewhere safe, and probably far, I'm going after that thing," I said, closing my eyes for a few seconds.
"But… I need to help you somehow," she said, with a hint of sadness in her voice.
"I need you to stay alive, I've grown quite fond of you," I said, smirking a bit.
Lillian's turned to a light shade of red and put a small smile on her face as she leaned down to take a bite of her fish. I handed her the water bottle and I stood up and walked towards the edge of the sand, where the water began.
Lillian finished eating, and took a sip of the water, got up, and stood next to me. She fiddled with her hands and looked at the water that barely touched her toes.
"Thanks for everything Luck," she said.
I was about to reply until she stood on her toes and kissed my cheek. I felt my face get hot and I looked down at her.
"What was that for?" I asked, stopping my hand from rising to my cheek.
"For everything you've done to protect me, I'm grateful, thank you," she said, smiling.
"No problem, I'm just glad you're alright," I said, also smiling.
I looked at her for a bit. Her brown eyes were a bit lighter because of the sun hitting them, making them look a bit more hazel than dark brown, and her hair was a bit more messy than usual, but she had tied it onto a pony tail, which made her hair look very nice. I brushed my hand through my hair, wondering how messy I looked. Her eyes turned to me and it seemed as if we gazed for an eternity, until I felt my face going forward, towards her. I closed my eyes, and felt her face get closer and I began to move my arms around her. Then again, like a voice from the heavens….
"Luck!"
I quickly opened my eyes, and saw Lillian had also opened her eyes. I stared at her, and she smiled and turned away quickly, her face covered in red. I turned towards the voice too.
Dando hopped off the red Draco he rode, and extended his arm towards me. I grabbed it and looked at my old friend.
"It's been a while, Dando," I said.
Dando wore his full reverse outfit, fully scrolled to near perfection, and held a devastating VIP bow that many were envious of. He was considered one of the best Bowmasters around.
"We need to get started right away," He said, hopping back on the Draco.
"Alright, let's get going," I said.
"Not so fast Luck," a voice said from behind me.
"Is that?..." I asked, not turning around.
"Told you it was a surprise," Dando said, smirking.
I turned around to see a familiar face. Steph stood looking at me, with his blown back hair, and his left eye covered by a black eye patch. He held a battle worn shield, and a VIP sword. He also rode his red Draco, and was still the proud leader of the guild.
"Been a while," he said, hopping off his dragon.
"It really has, thanks for coming man," I said.
"No problem, we gotta stick together, but I do have some bad news I have to tell you once we get back," he said, in a serious tone.
"Alright, let's get going," I said.
I turned to Lillian and grabbed her hand.
"Let's go," I said.
"Alright," she said, blushing again.
I hopped on Dando's Draco, and Lillian got on Steph's, as we began to take flight, and head towards the main continent.
