Hello there my fellow readers I have the next chapter right here. I didn't get some of my normal reviewers but I'm just going to put that down that I updated twice in 36 hours (I still can't believe it :D). I'm going to tell you now I'm not 100% sure when the next chapter is coming as I have to revise for my mocks and Spanish speaking and my citizenship teacher keeps giving us lots of homework (and it's only 1/2 G.C.S.E) but enough about my life.
On with the story:
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Kickin' It but I do own the rest of the island
Milton POV
I was awake really early today. I had a feeling something was going to go wrong. I just put it down to the fact that some people are on strike in the island and the note from the other night has not helped anything. I'm a really light sleeper and I heard a lot of footsteps, breaking branches and whispering. That really didn't help ease that feeling. I started working on the box again. I had got Jack to open the box but inside was another box which had a complicated mechanism which I was beginning to work through. When I have had enough I decide to go and see what the others are up to. It's actually quite surprising that I haven't heard Jack and Kim talking yet. They always seem to be the first one up. I was actually shocked that they haven't dated before as they knew each other before and that they haven't kissed yet since being reunited. They might have but from what Kim told us yesterday made it sound like they haven't. When I get down to the beach I see Kim freaking out.
"Hi Kim" I say to her
"Hi" She says but I can see that her mind is somewhere else
"What's up?" I ask her
"I can't seem to find Jack. Normally when I come down the fire is lit and he's often about and then comes over and talks to me but the fire isn't lit and the pile of sticks has been untouched. His bedroom door is open as I pass it and he wasn't in there and I just can't help but thinking something bad has happened." She tells me before sitting down
"It's Jack were talking about. I'm sure he's fine" I tell her trying to reassure her
"Your right. He's probably just getting something" Kim says before going back up the tree.
What Kim just told me doesn't help my fear to be relaxed. What if that note was aimed at Jack?
"Milton" Eddie's voice pulls me out of my thoughts
"Sorry yes morning" I say with my brain regaining its normal train of thoughts
"I've been calling your name for the last few minutes. What's going on in your mind?" Eddie asked
"I've had this feeling since I woke up that something was going to go wrong and Kim has told me that she hasn't seen Jack today" I blurt out
"It's weird but it's Jack I'm sure he's fine" I nod in agreement as Kim walks back with Jerry joining her asking her something and them walking back up to the house. After a few minutes they return to where we are but before we could ask them anything the horn from yesterday sounded and Kim went to receive the basket.
"Guys the note says: Workers on strike- Challenge postponed. Free day but beware"
We all looked at each other like we were all scared.
"Guys it like that note from the other day saying to be careful as this could you your last night in camp. It could have been for Jack." I say and they look at me
"You know the other night about enjoying the meal" I go on to say
"I see what you mean now. It was aimed for Jack but the only way to warn him is through us" Kim says and I nod to show I understand.
"What about if it those guards from Jack's story" Eddie says
"I doubt it as it taken then a few months to find Jack and his dad when they move around America and they have his dad so what would they want from him" Kim told Eddie
"Well he is the Queen's daughter" and Jerry makes a noise as if he made a good point
"True but I'm sure they won't find him here" Kim says and her tone tells Eddie that it is final.
After breakfast we all go off on our own ways. I go back up to my room to look at the next level in the box and Eddie follows me into my room. I see Kim go for a swim when I go to get something and I don't know where Jerry ended up.
"What do you think is in that box?" Eddie asks me
"Not sure but due to the protection it has to get in something special" I say still concreatioing. After a while I manage to get in but I see Eddie has gone. Inside the 2nd layer some diaries, some gone off sweets and some photos. I get the photos out of the box and when I have a closer look they look like someone very familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. When I went out of my room to find the others, I saw them all n the other side. Jerry was holding some wood and Eddie was shouting directions at Kim who was stood on the other side of where the wood Jerry was holding should be.
"Guys what's going on?" I yell to them
"Jerry took the wood I need to get back over" Kim yelled
"You told me I could take it" Jerry argues back
"After I got back over"
"Well you never made that clear"
"Yes I did I said you can I have it once I get back over"
"She did say that" Eddie said getting involved in the conversation. Jerry put the wood down
"Eddie it's supposed to be guys over girls" Jerry said and Kim had pulled the wood enough the gap s she could get across the gap and kicked him where the sun doesn't shine and Jerry screamed a girly scream and we and Eddie shared a look which we both knew how it feels but also we knew not to get on the wrong side of her. It's like something else is going on in her mind which she didn't know how to respond to. She's probably missing Jack. I went over to Jerry to help him up.
"That girl can kick hard" Jerry said
"Well what more do you expect from a black belt" Eddie said
"Yes she has told us before" I tell him but has face said that he didn't have a clue
"Well I'm going into that tree-house. You coming?" Jerry said and me and Eddie nod
We go over into a different section of the tree-house and find more areas. We come across some engravings in the wood which I take notes of. They said EB+PT in a heart. After some more searching we had come across that PT stood for Peter Travous as we found a room which had his name in but there was drawers which were locked and I was trying to get in while Jerry and Eddie go and look at the other rooms to see what they could find.
"Milton we found something" I hear Jerry yell after a while. I go to the room there in but I step very carefully as I fear that the wood will split in 2. I go in the room there in and they are holding some pieces of jewellery from an opened draw. They hand it to me
"I would guess this room belonged to a girl but what else have you found?" I ask them
"Nothing but I think this draw had been broken in before due to the marks n the back on the drawer" Eddie says and I go and check them out. I see a lot of scratches which suggest that someone had opened it before
"That has been opened before so we don't know who these belong to so let's carry on searching" I say. I go back to the room I was in before and it didn't take me long to get in. Once I got in I found a few pictures and some leather bracelets. I never got chance to look at the pictures before Eddie came in.
"What are those?" He said when he saw them
"Some photos and leather bracelets" I tell him and I hand him the things.
"These photos have nothing on them" Eddie says and hands them to me.
"I have a way in which we might be able to see the photos but it takes time" I say to him
"I just came to say that we're going back as we found another diary but it's written in those funny symbols again so I was going to try and translate them" Eddie tells me
"Ok I'll go back and get that book and try working on these photos" I say before heading back with him. When we reach my room I give Eddie the book with all the symbols in. I was walking to go and get the things I need to when I walked past Kim sitting reading the diary we found the other day.
"Hi Kim you ok?" I ask her and she nods
"Look I'm sorry about Jerry. He's an idiot sometimes" I tell her
"That's fine. I'm not bothered about that as I gave him some damage but it's more I'm worried about Jack" She says
"What about him?" I ask. I know he hadn't turned up all day
"Its mid afternoon and he still hasn't turned up and now I can't help but feel worried about where he is. What about if he's drowned?" Kim tells me
"I'm sure someone is watching us and will know if he has drowned but I doubt if he has" I tell her
"I know but what if he has been kidnapped by the island. How will …" She trailed off
"I'm going to guess something has happened between you and you want to talk to him" I say figuring out that something has happened between them.
"He told we were going to speak about it today" She told me
"So it wasn't bad like you had an argument then" I say to clarify what's going on
"No it was the opposite" Kim says going off into a dream world
"Do you wanna talk about?" I ask her
"No I need to speak to Jack about it but thanks for the offer" She says
"I'll leave you be then" I say before walking off and leaving. She then re-picks up the diary she was reading and looking at a picture that fell out.
I got the things I was looking for and went back to photos. I began looking through the box which I found while I was waiting for the photos to clear up. I picked up the diary and started reading. I very quickly discovered it wasn't a diary but a story had written. I very quickly found myself getting involved in the writing. The story was of a family who got separated when there ship crashed into land. The mum and the younger boy were together and the dad and the older girl were together. The tale involved much about how the dad the older girl were fighting for their lives as they got really hungry and they went searching for food and shelter. The girl had a massive leg injury and it was a race of time of getting her to her mum as she knew a lot about first aid. The mum and the boy had found a tribe who were helping them repair the boat and search for the others. They eventually found each other and escaped the island and found there adventurous side. The story finished with them on a plane going back to their home country where the story ended. There was a page which said the name of the author Katie Lewis. It said she was lived in Seaford and on the next page there was a title of Epilogue and about 2 lines but wasn't finished. I had decided if I could get this book off the island then I would try and get it published and search for the author.
I then decided to go for a shower and get myself cleaned up as I had the hot shower. It was one of the things I had missed while being on the Island. When I went down to the shower area I saw Kim was drawing on a blank canvas we had found the other day with some colours she had found in her room. Eddie was sitting on the floor and was had made some progress in decoding the book. I found Jerry on the beach who had built a lot of sandcastles.
"Yo Milton what you up to?" Jerry yells disturbing the peace of the day.
"I'm going for a shower" I tell him
"K then but before you go what you think of my sandcastle?" He asks me
"I really like your sandcastle" I tell him truthfully and he smiles at me
I get in the shower and I enjoy the warmth which hits me. I listen carefully and soon realise that there was talking going on in the woods and I think it's just the island master and his minions.
It was only when the normal horn sounded that I realised how late it was. I guess without Jack telling us the time it had gone by very quickly. I go to the campfire area and see the fire is burning at the basket is there with the others sitting around there.
"Milton we were just waiting for you" Eddie says and I see Kim looking through the bag
"Guys this note is a normal one. Evening Team Water. Sorry about the disruption over the last 2 days though you don't mind. You might have noticed that one of your team mates is missing but don't worry he's safe for the time being. Tomorrow we will be carrying on with our normal routine of challenges so have a good night's rest."
"Well that explains a lot about Jack" Eddie says
"We know he's safe so we don't have to worry. I'm more bothered about how long he will be away" Kim tells us.
We carry on with dinner with Kim cooking and I was helping prepare the food. It was really weird having Kim cooking as we had been so used to Jack who would cook while having a chat with us yet Kim had to work really hard to do it. We had automatically selected Kim to be the cook as she had spent time with Jack while he was cooking so would know some of the things that Jack knew.
Dinner wasn't as good as when Jack did it as it was missing some of the flavourings but it was better than what I could do. We ate it all though and after dinner we all went off on our own ways again. I went back to my room which Eddie came in.
"Milton can you help me?" He asked when he came into my room
"What is it?"
"Well I've been translating this all afternoon but I'm not sure if it's right" He told me while handing me the sheet and the books. I look at the start of it and saw what he meant. The sentences didn't make sense when the symbols were right.
"I see what you mean. I'll give them a full look over tomorrow when there's full daylight" I tell him and then he leaves the room. I get a bit of quite time in which I began to read another book I found before Kim comes in.
"Milton can I talk to you?" She asks
"Sure but what about?" I ask her
"Jack. I just need some help figuring things out" She replies
"I'll do the best that I can but I'm not very good in the relationship area" I tell her and she smiles a small smile
"It's fine. Well yesterday I was really confused about my feelings towards him. I did used to know him when he lived in Seaford. Back then I did think I liked him but I never wanted to believe my feelings towards him as we knew he would have to leave soon. When I saw him again here some of those feelings returned..." She told me before trailing off
"Do you think they have grown stronger?" I ask her and she nods
"Look I've always been told that distance makes the heart grow stronger and that has happened with you and have you heard the saying 'If you love someone set it free and if it return it's yours to keep'" I begin to tell her
"My mum told me that saying a lot but would this count as a return?" she asks
"It might or it might not it will depend on when we get back" I tell her "I'm going to guess something happened between you 2 last night which has brought up this confusion" She nods and I gesture for her to continue
"Last night we talked about the past and then we ... we... we kissed" She tells me
"Was that what we interrupted last night?" I ask
"Yeah you did and then he told me when we were going back to the rooms that we would talk about it in the morning but he was gone today and has left my feelings in a mess" She says
"Well I know he really likes you. You can see it and as soon as we get him back it would be top of his list to do" I finally see her break out in a smile
"So now we have to figure out how Jack got captured then because that is what I feel happened" She says
"Well we will do that in the morning because I'm shattered" I say while escorting her out of my room
"Goodnight" She says walking off to her own room.
I know I'm not going to sleep an awful lot know that Kim has confused feelings thanks to a boy who has now disappeared from camp and if the voices I heard in the shower was Jack and if all the twig snapping, heavy footsteps and whispering I heard was all part of the disappearance of Jack.
So What do you think? Where is Jack? Who took him? What's on the picture's?
