"Almost..."
The two that had met up were struggling to catch some source of food. It was not easy to hunt. First, they tried catching some birds, but were unable to reach the very highest point of the trees. Then started the pit idea, digging deep in the earth and laying palm fronds over the trap. But one of them, appropriately called Odd, had forgotten and walked over it. After an hour, the other managed to get him out.
So now they had caught something and were trying to get it out of the deep pit. The one with a German name, Ulrich, held on to Odd's arm as the latter hung in the hole trying to reach the animal at the bottom.
From the bushes, a black-haired female watched and shook her head.
"Boys..."
Shocked, Ulrich let go of his fellow stranded-on-a-deserted-islander and spun around.
"AH!" The purple-clad boy found himself at the bottom at last, next to some strange breed of pig. The calm animal jumped on his back and scrambled out of the trap, almost laughing as it ran off.
"Oops..."
"So you were on the same ship?"
"Yeah, I was scared to death when it sank..."
"Well, at least you know you're not the only one that survived."
A very flustered boy with blonde hair sat a bit away, muttering darkly under his breath. Needless to say he wasn't impressed with this new person who had caused him to fall, yet again, into a pit.
"But who else is here? I mean, there must have been more..."
"Yeah, on the lifeboat. I found some people, then a girl who helped me pull others on the boat. I think it crashed near the shore, and the tide sent us all over the area."
"I just realized I don't know your name."
"Ulrich." He met her stare and smiled.
"I'm Yumi."
"And I'm out of here. There has to be someone else more agreeable on this island to spend my time with!" Odd stomped off into some trees.
"Get- off!"
"Never!"
The other raven-haired girl clung desperately to the arm of the 'Godess Azalia'.
"I'm gonna find the others in this wreck!"
"No way, didn't you hear what that island dude said? This place can be deadly!"
"Then I'll die, so get off!" With one final jerk of her arm, she threw her attatchment off and onto the sand.
"How can you say something like that?" Struggling in the sand, the black-haired girl tried to regain her footing.
"Easy."
"But I don't even know you!"
"Which is why you should leave me alone, Sadie!" Opon hearing nothing else, she turned and glared at the motionless figure. "What?"
"You know my name?"
"I must have got hit really hard on the head, so sue me."
Sadie darted out and snatched her arm.
"You're crazy!"
"No, I'm Kiva, nice to meet you now get OFF!"
With one more quick movement, she had yet again detached Sadie and run off.
Kiva pushed aside branches, muttering just as darkly as Odd, who was coincidentally heading in the same direction not too far away. She kept on and on, talking all the while to herself sarcastically, biting back her tears which seemed more and more likely to come with each syllable. Before she knew it, tears ran down her face, yet she neither stopped walking and talking or brushed them away.
But, suddenly, she heard sniffling that wasn't her own.
"A-right, who's there?"
Some bushed by her right side moved and a face peeked out.
"Thank goodness I found someone else on this- this-" He paused, possibly trying to find a word. "I'm Odd."
"Kiva." She stuck out her hand and he took it, thinking she was going to shake his hand, but ended up being pulled out of the tangle and into a small clearing where she stood. "Well then, welcome to the team."
"W-wait, Ki-" A voice some distance away called.
"What-"
"No time to explain, some airhead girl." She took his hand again and ran off in the opposite direction of the sound. "I think she's crazy or something."
"And I thought this trip would be boring."
"No such luck." The girl laughed, then came to a quick stop and gave a strangled cry.
At the end of the path was a drop, dead down, into boiling, bubbling lava. In the center of it, a section of earth about the size of a football field stood. Huts and palm trees were there.
"It's a civilization of people, locked in by a deadly sea of lava."
"Imagine that."
Kiva released his hand and broke a stick off a tree, throwing it down into the lava-circle. It fell for two seconds, then a hissing sound and not a milisecond later the wood ceased to exsist.
"Okay, I suggest we not touch the lava."
"Agreed."
Their eyes flickered over the village before they turned and went back the way they came, only taking a right turn at a crooked tree, which Sadie had just come to a moment ago. She had gone to her right, therefore putting her farther away.
"Still here?"
He looked blankly up at her. What kind of answer was she expecting, 'no'?
"Because, I've been thinking..."
'That's a change... Did it hurt, Morgan?'
"You've waited for her for just too long, don't you think?" Her voice had the edge of a purr.
"...Why are you even talking to me?" Was that out loud? Oops. No, really.
"Wha-" The woman paused before straightening up and walking around to look him in the eye. "Mark, don't deny me your time..."
"Leave me alone." Did she have a life? An 18 year old, flirting with someone who's just barely 15? Pathetic.
"Fine. But you know where to find me." She turned and walked off. Mark, finally alone, snorted.
"Floozy."
A/N: I'm so so so so so so so so so so so so so so (five minutes later) SO sorry! This is just what I came up with, I was able to get the last bit because of a bit of anger in my life... Guys are stupid, at least the ones I know, if you're a male please don't take offense. But this guy was a total jerk to me...
My life is a battlefield right now... Leave me some love, if you don't hate me now.
