Chapter Eleven: FORGIVE THIS CHAPTER'S SUCKINESS…

PLEASE READ THE AUTHOR'S NOTE AT THE END AFTER READING THE STORY OR IF YOU DON'T WANT TO READ THE STORY JUST SKIP TO THE NOTE!
The sun rose, birds chirping. It was a new day. Cyborg stretched and yawned sleepily.
"Ah. A new day. One less day before going home to sweet, sweet technology!" Cyborg said, smiling.
His smile dropped. He blinked twice and rubbed his eyes.
"Where…where am I?" Cyborg looked around him.
He was surrounded by shrubbery and trees. He was in a forest.
"What am I doing here? What happened? Why aren't I in the tent with the others?" Cyborg asked himself.
Cyborg thought.
"Oh yeah. We are playing murder in the dark, or something. Or at least, we were. I must have fallen asleep. But I thought we were in a clearing. Then again, there was a forest to one side of the clearing. Maybe that's where I am! All I need to do is use my sensors to find which direction the camp is in and I can get back. But why didn't anyone notice I didn't come back? Oh well."
His sensors pointed him in a direction. Cyborg walked in that direction.
Eventually, he had walked out of the forest. His eyes widened.
He was on some sort of beach. But that wasn't the bad thing. The bad thing was that it appeared he was on an island.
He could see the base camp at the top of a mountain, in the distance.
Cyborg nearly screamed. It looked like he had accidentally gone out of the boundaries after all. He couldn't swim back to the mountain and proper land. It was too far away and who knew what lurked in the deep water…
"Okay, Cyborg. You got onto this island somehow by walking. There must be a simple way to get back by walking."
He took a deep breath in…and out. In…and out.
He noticed a rocky area further along the beach. He saw something moving. Getting his sonic cannon ready, Cyborg approached the figure carefully.
Kate moaned.
"Ow…my head…what happened? Where am I?"
She peered around her. It seemed she was on the rocks on some sort of beach. She looked at the beach's golden sand.
Cyborg's face and sonic cannon popped up in front of her.
She screamed. He screamed and his sonic cannon shot past. She screamed again. He screamed again. She screamed and, this time, didn't stop. Cyborg covered his ears and, at the same time, timed her screaming with his built-in watch.
After half a minute she stopped screaming.
"Hi Cyborg." She greeted kindly, smiling sweetly.
Cyborg lowered his arms and raised an eyebrow. This girl was weird.
"Uh…hi…"
"Where are we? Where are the others? What happened?" she basically repeated the same questions as Cyborg had asked himself earlier.
Cyborg started to slowly answer her questions, dreading her reaction.
"Ok, can you shorten your answers to just two words?" Kate asked, frustrated at how slowly he was answering her questions.
"Well…um…yeah…don't freak out but…well…we're kinda…"
"Spit it out!"
"We're stranded." Cyborg winced, preparing for her reaction.
"What? STRANDED! I CAN'T BE STRANDED! NOOO! NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING TO ME! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kate screamed, hysterically.
"Okay, now, I want you to just…calm down…"
"Calm down? CALM DOWN! HOW THE BLOODY HELL CAN YOU TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
"Kate! Listen, neither of us got here by boat or by swimming, so there must be some way to get back there by walking."
"But how?" Kate wailed. She was not good in such situations.
"I dunno. Maybe some sort of sand path from here to there appears when it's low tide and we got here while it was low tide. It's definitely high tide now. Let's just wait until the tide goes down and if my theory is wrong, then we can panic."
"Okay…okay." Kate breathed deeply, calming down.
She paused.
"But what will we do in the meanwhile? It'll be at least three hours before it starts going down. Staying out in this sunlight will surely burn my skin and I feel sooo hungry."
Cyborg started to feel hungry, too. His stomach growled.
"Okay, I'll gather some leaves and branches and make a shelter, further up on land so that when it's fully high tide, it won't be ruined. You go into the forest; not too far, it might be dangerous. Try to find some berries or fish or something."
"But what if they're poisonous?" Kate asked.
"Too bad. I'd rather die from poisonous food than starvation. Starvation would take a lot longer so the pain would be more drawn out."
"You have a point there."
So, Kate went into the forest and Cyborg started gathering stuff to make a shelter.
A few minutes after, Kate screamed.
"CYBORG!"
Cyborg dropped everything and ran towards her voice.
SORRY FOR THE (in my opinion)BAD CHAPTER
Author's Note:
Sorry I haven't updated in four months. Now that is really bad. I haven't updated in a whole third of a year. It sucks. And this chapter was short and low quality all the same because I rushed it so you guys could see this message sooner rather than later. Anyway, I'll cut to the chase.
I AM HAVING DIFFICULTY WRITING THE NEXT CHAPTER OF "ALL IS FAIR".
I AM NOT ABOUT TO PUT IT ON HIATUS.
I AM JUST HAVING TROUBLE THINKING OF NEW AND UNIQUE PRANKS TO PUT IN.
I WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF YOU COULD HELP ME BY GIVING ME AN IDEA OR GIVING ME SOME SOURCE OF INSPIRATION.
MANY THANKS,
Everclueless (aka the girl you love to hate)
