I am now starting to put my writing in! This is gonna be a good story!
Disclaimer: I do not own the first 3 chapters, or SLOD!
B.P.O.V
The shelter was lifted off of the ground by about 2 feet. It was small, the size of a single bed, and I wasn't sure why Cody had made it that way. It was lifted off the ground, because there were 2 tree's at either end of the 'bed'. It was then covered in gum leaves to create a 'mattress' kind of feeling. The roof was a tarp, that Cody had thought to pack luckily, that was tied to the ground, and the 2 tree's holding the 'bed' up, so it looked like a triangular tent.
Cody was gone at the moment, looking for fire wood, and I took this as an opportunity to make camp more, 'cozy', so Cody and I could finally spend some quality time together.
I rolled some old logs over, which were surprisingly light, and then got some rocks and put them in between the logs, in a circular shape, so it looked like a real campfire.
We were near the beach, so I went over there, and got some more rocks. Then I put them together, so that they were spelling out SOS, so any helicopter or plane could see it and send help.
When I went back to 'camp,' Cody was back, and was setting up the fire. It was big, so it was bound to last us a while. When he was finished, he put the excess wood in a pile to the left, for later.
"Hey" I said, surprising Cody.
"Hey. Where were you? I came back and you were gone" Cody asked.
"I was on the beach. You know, spelling out SOS" I said when he didn't catch on.
"Oh, okay. Well, it will be getting dark soon, so I'll light the fire soon and we can get comfy" he smirked.
"Yeah, that would be good" I blushed.
"What have you got to eat? I'm getting a bit hungry, and I'm sure you'll be too" he mused.
"Ah, I have quite a few granola bars, and breathe mints, and…" I tailed off, digging through the back pack to see what else I might come across.
"Oh! I forgot! I also packed a lot of fruit and a couple sandwiches! I also have 3 drink bottles" I said, pulling them all out.
"That's good. I have a lot of food too, and drinks aswell… we should be able to use this stuff, for at least 3 or 4 days, especially if we stay on rations. But we will also go out looking for food, and drinks. There has to be something on this island." Cody said.
"Yeah. And I have my phone remember. If no-one comes after a few days, we can always head higher up and see if we can get signal." I pointed out.
"Good idea. But I think maybe we should keep that as a last resort. We don know what could be lurking in these places" he mused.
"Oh yeah. Didn't think off that… Okay. You light the fire, and I'll pool our recourses." I said after a few minutes.
I grabbed my stuff, and put it in a pile near a fire. Then I went over to Cody's backpack and emptied it near my things. Inside there were 4 sandwiches, apples, bananas, a packet of shapes, which I wondered where he'd gotten from, a box of granola bars, and 3 bottles, which seemed to have water in one, lemonade in another, and again water in the final bottle. Obviously we had both packed for the worst.
"Okay, together we have: 6 sandwiches, a lot of apples, bananas and oranges, a box of shapes, a couple of boxes of granola bars and breath mints. We also have about 6 bottles of drink" I concluded.
"That's good. We will have enough for a couple of days" Cody said, trying to light a fire.
Then his face lit up. "I have a flint in my bag. That'll start this fire easy!" he exclaimed.
He reached for the bag and rummaged through it, looking for the flint. Once he found it he produced a spark, and the debris lit up the area.
"Look the fire is green and blue!" I yelled quietly.
"That's from the-"he started, but I cut him off.
"The sea salt on the wood" I finished.
"Yeah" he said, probably surprised that a country girl like me knew something like that.
"What? Did you think that because I came from the country, I can't possible know about this kind of thing?" I asked.
"Well-"I cut him off.
"Yes, you did think that. City-slickers" I muttered.
"Whats that supposed to mean?" Cody asked, annoyed at my reference to country jargon.
"Well, you people from the city always think that your batter than us country people. Always think you're more superior." I said, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"That's because we are! We have more talent and resources… shall I go and embarrass you?" he hissed.
Bailey, stop it! You are gonna regret it if you go any further. Look, he is getting angry. Stop it if you want to keep your friendship! My conscience was screaming at me.
But my brain was louder.
Keep going Bailey! If you win, you might get his attention! It yelled.
My brain won. Instead of saying, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you" I yelled, "no! You don't need to! I already learned that you are too good for what we country folk can offer you!"
"Well then-"he was probably going to make a stupid comment, but I cut him off.
"Did you hear that?" I whispered terrified.
"No!" he whispered-yelled, still frustrated.
Shake, shake, shake.
"There it is again!" I said.
"Okay. I heard it that time" he said quietly back, our previous conversation forgotten.
Then something emerged from the bushes.
Something that could only chill me to the bones.
Something living on this island.
Something that was dangerous.
Something wielding a bat.
Something that was scared.
Okay, I think this is gonna be a good story. I originally had a different ending, but when I was transferring it on to the computor, this was the ending I came up with.
This story is gonna be stretched out, so I cant give an approx., of how many chapters… probably a lot though…
