I would've slept longer if it hadn't been for "The Lord" out there swinging his imaginary sword around and making noises. I couldn't even keep my thoughts straight.
"Die you evil Lacourian scum! You dare to defy me! The great Lord Kick-a lot-of-ass? Ha-ha-ha, now bow down before your mighty ruler before I make you eat my…uh…before…you eat…well you get the point!"
I grunted a bit and leaned over onto my side trying to ignore his stupid ness but it was too strong to bear.
"Hey oh mighty one, I realize you have training to do. Could you please do it somewhere else on the island? I'm sure you could get a lot of use out of the animals here." He raised his head even higher, "You mean there are…other things here too?" Quickly I answered, "Oh yes, but try not to disturb them. If you sneak up on them you may be able to get something to eat, try poking them a couple of times."
I headed back into the hut and saw him huffing and puffing towards the other side. I had expected him to go through the forest making it easier, but instead he ran on the outside part.
"Idiot" I said underneath my breath.
Tara also couldn't sleep and came into my room.
"Brian, are you sure it's a good idea having him on our island? I don't want to get involved in something again that isn't our problem or fault."
"We have no choice, besides if he says he's the smartest one on the planet then how hard could an army be to fight?"
I smiled at her and gave her a kiss, "For right now go back to sleep and we'll talk later. Believe me; it's going to be alright."
By the time everyone else had got in up I had breakfast ready. I decided to mix up what we had by including eggs from real seagulls. (Hey we got to survive some how)
"Brian I hope this isn't from real seagulls, I get queasy from eggs." Cree said.
I took the egg off her plate and threw it at Jason, "There, problem's over!"
She gave me a sarcastic face and continued eating.
Jason wiped the egg off his face, "Gee Brian, you took it better than I thought…"
I looked up at him, "Did you say something Jay?"
He looked at up me, "Oh nothing."
I shrugged and continued eating my egg.
Later on in the day Jason and I went looking for some more fire wood since we were running low.
"Brian, do you think that Scott will be here soon?"
As I looked around in the bushes I replied slowly, "Of course he will be, and if he didn't come…well I would answer that later."
We continued walking along trying to find some wood, but with not a lot of luck.
Finally we got to a clearing in the middle of the forest where some light was coming in.
"I think we should call it a day." I said sitting down exhausted.
Jason came up beside me, "Just a little bit longer, I have a feeling our searching will soon pay off."
I looked up at him, "What are you talking about; we've been looking for four hours now!"
He shook his head, "My gut is telling me that if we continue our search will pay off."
I sighed and got back up following through the forest to the other side. When we walked out into the sun we saw it reflecting off of some old wooden pieces.
"Jason we hit the mother load! This is going to last us forever!"
As we stood there looking at the pieces the Lord could be seen in the background being chased by a whole bunch of seagulls while saying, "Curse you rats with wings! When my army arrives here I'll make sure you never sleep comfortably again!"
One of the seagulls was fully loaded and dropped a stink bomb on his head.
"Oh good lord what is that smell? I swear if I had something to hit you with you can bet you'll be suffering a long and cruel death!"
He ran off into the distance leaving Jason and I to get the wood. We looked each other and shrugged picking up the pieces one by one.
By the time we got back the sun was starting to set so it'd be a perfect time to start up a fire. It has become more of a routine to do this everyday rather then once in a while. Regardless of the temperature being in the 90s everyday it's get somewhat colder when the sun goes down. No one has yet to complain of being sick and at the least an upset stomach. I feel both good and bad about this. For one thing we haven't been exposed to any serious bacteria that could harm us. However on the other hand I fear that something worse will happen soon, I don't know when…but something will.
