Chapter 3: Friends?
I suppose I bawled a good half an hour until I looked up with puffy eyes to see that night had fallen in my new place of existance, and decided to go to sleep. Luckily for me, had nad no dreams nor nightmares, and had a well-needed rest. I was short lived, though, as I woke up hours before the faintest light of day came. I took this time to carefully explore my surroundings.
From what I could see, my new abode was mainly made up of plants and sand. I made a quick note that I must be on an island, and deserted too, from what I heard the man at the docks say. I also took fear in his last words, "She'll never survive."
I walked until I could walk no more, I had come upon the ocean. I kept walking along the never-ending beach until I saw a light. It drew me in, and I stepped in closer to see what it was. I came upon the little village of huts I had awoken to. In the middle of the little camp was a long table, and beside the table stood the boy I almost strangled to death.
I was facing his back, but I could immediately see something was not very right. His head was resting on his shoulders, his arms and shoulders very relaxed, limp, even. Quietly, I moved up to see his face, which in all honesty, was almost cute, thin lips, wide mouth, his nose, even his eyes seemed big, even though they were closed.
It suddenly dawned on me that the boy was asleep. I looked down to his hands to see he was grasping a gun. I looked at his rounded face once more, and for some odd reason, had that same warm feeling in by breast, like the dreams I had so often had. I pushed the thought out of my head and left.
When I had gotten to my cave once again, I realized how hungry I was. So, I went in search of food. By that time, the sun had risen to make one of most gorgeous pictures I had ever witnesses, so many colors I could not name them all.
"It sure is pretty, huh?" I jumped back, startled. My eyes wide and my feet poised, I was about to run, but his words stopped me.
"Wait! I didn't mean to scare you, I just wanted to talk, yanno?" He looked up at me, his blue eyes filled with confusion and I could see he did not want to hurt me at all.
"Gosh you sure are pretty"
That startled me, I had never received a compliment before. That feeling of warmth came back and I shook my head for it to leave.
"No? Well, I sure think you are. You wanna come and get breakfast? You look real hungry."
I nodded my head at this, and went with the boy to his village. But this was only for a meal, I told myself. After this I was to return to my cave and try to figure some way off this island.
