Chapter 2: The Beginning

___________

"We've made it!"
Garet cried as he saw a tiny hint of light in the distance. He quickly ran through the dense mass of trees, and weep in joy as he saw his friends sitting around the fire, chatting.

"So hows my favorite girls doing?!" Garet cried in joy as she hugged Jenna and Sheba.

"Get off me, you oaf!" laughed Jenna as she pushed Garet away.
"Yo Piers! Some help here!" cried Isaac as he threw the lump of meat off his shoulder.
"Whoa! That's one big piece of food! Where you guys get that? Must have taken a long time!" Jenna gasped in awe as she came and stare at the werewolf flesh.
Garet looked at Isaac with a smirk. Isaac shaked his head slowly, a sly look on his face.
"Hey, Ivan, help get this thing off my back!"
"All right...all right...OMG! Girls, stand back! THAT'S WEREWOLF MEAT!" Ivan cried in disgust as he sprang aside as he found out the identity of the meat from the mind read sequence.
"You little snitch!" Garet and Isaac cried together, remembering that Ivan could read their mind.
"O man, no way am i eating that piece of...thing." Mia whispered with a smile as she covered her nose.
"Cmon ladies...werewolf meat is still meat. For god sake, I'm so hungry now I could eat a djinni..." Garet rubbed his stomach in hunger as he tear a slab of meat and start roasting it over the fire.
"Garet's right for once," said Piers, "Werewolf, although harmful when they have became feral, are still meat..." he end with a self-convincing note, and sit down next to Garet. "Hey, care to give me the leg? I love the leg part."
Isaac nodded with agreement, and start to roast the meat slowly on the fire. "Felix, want to join the feast?"

(Morning)(The ladies and everyone end up eating the meat anyway.)
"Yawn..." Garet woke up to see his friends already start packing. "Hey, what's the hurry? We're not gonna start building a ship are we?"  He sat up and began looking around.  He noticed that Piers is busy chopping wood and the girls gathering herbs and berries.
"No," replied Jenna, "As a matter of fact, we're going to tour this island for adventures. Sea life is getting a little dull.  This island seems the perfect place to start an adventure. "

"But…why is Piers chopping woods?" Garet asked dubiously.

"Jenna tells me to.  She told me to make a hammock and carry you in case you never woke up," Piers replied with a smirk.
"Alrite! Vacation!" Garet cried in delight as he threw his pillow in the air and crawls in the sleeping bag to continue sleeping.
"Get up, lazy Garet!" Sheba said as she kicked on the side of the bag several time.

"Ok ok ok! Now stop that!  Island paradise here we come!"

"This place is stupid," Garet began complaining again, "The view at night is awful enough, but do they have to have all these swamps? And look, this forest is like a maze, every place looked the same.  Dang, is that a snake there?" He jumped back in shock as the snake hissed at him in hostility.
"Garet, where's your compass? We could sure use those to our advantage right now!"
"My compass!? I thought you have it!  Actually…um….I think I loss it when I was resting in the forest."
Isaac stared at Garet in a 'what da hell do you think you're doing" look, and then sighed in disappointment. "Great, now we won't even get our sense of direction now."
"MY FAULT!? That's it, lets battle to see whose fault it is. Just you and I, Isaac.  People, stay out of this, " Garet cried as he sprang on a tree to prepare to fight.

"Garet stay on the tree!" Mia cried suddenly.

"He's only doing that because he's still immature, Mia.  He's not strong enough to beat Isaac anyways…" Jenna glanced at Mia.

"No! Garet, can you see anything far away?"

"Me? Uh….no…hold on! I can… I see something! It seems like a temple! This island isn't deserted after all!" cried Garet in delight.
