Dinner was Yakow stew with a side helping of bread. The meal had well-
satisfied Jak's hunger and he slowly trudged off to his bed. He carefully
placed Daxter on a cushion next to the fireplace in which an ember was
visible.
Jak's bed was not exciting. It consisted of a small rush mat and a pillow
but still allowed him to sleep comfortably.
The young boy lay there calmly; his eyes set on the green sun. (A: N anyone
noticed they don't have a moon?)
His glare, slowly drifting into a good night's sleep.
Chapter 2: Footsteps
Meanwhile that night, Keira found herself restless. The A-GraV Zoomer had been playing up lately after too much contact with Dark Eco boxes. She decided to go for a walk to see if that could stand any chance of tiring her in the slightest. She quietly went up the ramp to Samos's level and jumped through the teleport gate to Geyser Rock. This destination was perfect, as there are no creatures lurking on the island.
In all knowing that she was safe, she wandered about admiring the beautiful landscapes that surrounded her. There was a gentle breeze sweeping off the ocean and the air was warm. She wandered for about ten minutes until she decided it would be good for her if she slept a while. She lowered herself onto a rock nearby and bent over to touch the sand. It wasn't damp so she sat in it, picking it up and letting it filter through her fingers. The sound of the geysers was calming and she found herself drifting off leaning against a rock to prop herself up.
She slept for several hours until she awoke at the sound of rustling. She sat up and stretched, her eyes still fixed on the bush that continued to move. "Strange", she said curiously. "This island isn't inhabited apart from a few birds and insects." She reminded herself of all the scary and dangerous lurkers Daxter had talked about so much. Mind you, he would do it to sound courageous, knowing Daxter. Of course, it would have been Jak fighting them and not he. Keira smirked at the thought of this. She did find the two highly amusing at times. She began to drift of the subject that there was something out there and fell into a daydream.
* * * "I have always dreamed about floating on some cloud up to a huge castle or palace just for me, father and the boys. There would be huge gardens full of beautiful scenery and rare plants that I could admire and father could study. It could all be so perfect. I would never have to worry about that stubborn Zoomer, as we would all have pretty feathery wings. We could glide about all day do aesthetic arial displays, loop the loop, twists, spirals...
* * * Her daydream had been cut off by the creature in the bush again. She was tired of this and stood up to walk to a different part of the island. She walked slowly up the beach to where the long climb began. She had walked several metres and stopped. "There's something there", she whispered. She thought she must have been imagining it and continued to walk.
As she walked she wearily kept checking over her shoulder. "It's just the wind. It's just the wind", She repeated to herself. "It's just the wind. It's just the wind. It's just the wind." Her voice trembling each time she said. Her pace quickened. Soon after that her walk developed into a brisk trot and then a run. She could feel her heart thumping wildly against her chest.
She raced up the hill and hid herself in the shadow of a nearby tree. She paused for a second and held her breath. "Footsteps. I can hear footsteps", she muttered under her breath. She noticed her breathing get deeper and speed up. "Something's following me, something's stalking me. I can hear its footsteps." She curled up in fright and wept in fear. Her tears, cold as ice, slowly trickled down her pale face. How she wished Jak was there to hold her and protect her.
She looked up and saw a shadow emerging. It had no recognisable shape or colour and yet hauntingly it did. Keira stared up and this unknown horror. Absolutely terrified, she stopped breathing. Her eyes widened and her pupils narrowed at the sight. She buried her face into her arms and gave out a short squeal. The figure rose above her, held up a tightly clenched fist and hurled it towards her. She felt a sharp blow to the back of her head and fell to the floor. The world around her was spiralling and darkening until all was black... jet-black.
