*Exploration*
Spike was still a little shaken from his dream so he decided to go for a walk. He headed towards the back of the dorms, and he noticed a small path off the right of where he had stopped to have a smoke, he headed in that direction but was soon lost in the overgrown bush. He stopped and stilled then reached out his senses and was shocked to hear a heartbeat from further into the bush, he followed and noticed that there was in fact a long overgrown path leading him to the heartbeat.
He cleared the forest and found Isabel lying on a large, flat, circular, limestone rock that lay on the beach to the bay that he had heard earlier. He looked at her and found that she had a discman resting on her stomach and he could just make out the music coming through the earpieces to her ears. Her eyes were closed and her breathing laboured, she wasn't asleep just meditating.
"Hi, do you want something?" she said shocking him out of his thoughts.
"Nothing I just went for a walk and found myself here."
"Well sit," she said sitting up and wrapping the earphones around the discman
Spike did as she asked and sat on the large rock so he too could see the bay.
"How did you just happen upon this place? Unless someone knows where it is or is purposefully looking for it they have some trouble finding it."
"Oh I saw to opening when I when behind the dorms for a smoke."
"Oh, are you okay I noticed you seemed a little dazed and confused when you walked out of the bush."
"How could you have noticed you're eyes were closed."
"I don't just rely on my sight to notice things I hear you and you were walking like a person lost but since you could see the bay I was highly doubtful that you were lost."
"How could you have heard me I could hear the music."
"I only had one earphone in the other was resting on my shoulder so I could hear if someone came but could still hear the music."
"Okay well I had just had a dream and it was a tad bloody confusing."
"You're English, right?"
"Yep, how did you guess?" He said with a hint of sarcasm
"The clothes," she replied not wavering from her seriousness for a second.
"I thought so, what were you doing out here all by yourself anyway?"
"Meditating I just felt like being alone for a while, what with everyone being gone and all."
"Or asleep."
"Yeah, how come you aren't up there sleeping away the afternoon?"
"I don't need much sleep, so I layed down for a while but only for a few minutes."
"Then the dream?"
"Yep."
"Oh well down here you can sit for hours and barely think."
Spike hoped this was true and he heard Isabel lay down again and put her discman back on, he took the opportunity to look at the bay.
To his left was a small beach with wet white sand and rocks jutting out of the ground in many places. Even further than that was a path between the reeds that lined the waters edge and the bush that sat upon the ledge that ran to beyond the rock he was sitting on. In front of him was of course the bay, on the other bank was a small port and the actual town behind this was a mountain range. As his eyes moved right he saw more mountains until the bay moved into an inlet, as he keep going he saw another beach that stretched from the edge of the inlet all the way around to the edge of the property that sat next to the camp. Directly to his right was a six foot high ledge with trees all the way to the edge, this was the edge of the camp site, in that direction at least. Next to that was a lookout that was slightly lower and had a path that led to a small rock pool. Coming closer to himself was a small stretch of beach that had seaweed littering it, at the end of this area was a rock jetty that stretched out for about ten metres. Then as you moved even closer towards Spike, there was a path overrun with reeds that lead to another larger rock pool. This one held bigger rocks than the one below the outlook but they weren't ventured onto much by the look of them, he noticed why when he saw some mussels and rock crabs in the holes the water had dug into them. The path continued until you hit the rock he was now sitting on. Satisfied and more at peace he followed Isabel's led and laid back but he choose to keep his eyes open and listen to her music while looking for patterns in the clouds, a pastime he had come to love now that he could.
