OMG IMMA SOOOOOOOO SORRY THAT I DIDNT WRITE ANYTHING FOR LIKE 3 MONTHS!
I HAVEN'T WRTTEN FOR SO LONG THAT I DON'T EVEN REMEMBER WHAT THE STORY PLOT WAS GONNA BE.
IM SORRY THIS CHAPTER SUCKS FOR SUCH A LONG WAIT
I HAD TO THINK UP A NEW STORY PLOT.
IDK WUTS HAPPENIN'
Amy woke up to the loud squawking of a nearby bird and the rustling of palm trees.
'Where am I?'
She jolted up and stared at her surroundings. Planks of broken sea-soaked wood lay around her and she was lying in a beach.
"M-Matthew?" Amy glanced around at the beach, which seemed like a hurricane had swept most of it away. "Gilberta? Captain?"
She stood up and kicked her way through the rubble and washed off her sand covered body in the ocean.
"Where are you guys?" Amy sighed. "Where am I?" She kind of felt like crying but everyone knows heroes don't cry.
She saw something glint in the sand a few meters away from her and she picked it up and dusted the sand away.
"Whoa…" It was Captain Arthur's green star necklace. Up close, it was even more beautiful than when she last saw it, when it was on Arthur's neck.
She blushed a bit about remembering Arthur (cuz he's hawt) and slipped the necklace around her neck. She might run into him later and she didn't want to lose it. It seemed too precious.
'Maybe there are more people along the beach,' she thought. She walked along the edge of the water and slowly made her way down the long, narrow beach. Picking among the huge fallen trees, bundles of seaweed, and the wood that probably was from The Alice and The Madeline, she considered her situation.
'If only I could find someone.'
And she did.
"Who are you?"
Amy whipped her head around to pinpoint the voice but it echoed off the debris.
"I said: Who are you?"
A girl no older than her walked out from a stricken palm tree and pointed a sword, a katana, at Amy. She had short, thick, curly black hair and wore a pair of old looking glasses. Her cloak was worn and dark navy and she held a large bag that probably had random items of interest in it.
"Do you live here?" Amy asked. Half of her goal had been completed; she found someone, just someone she didn't know. The girl glared back at her and didn't respond.
'Nice poker face,' Amy thought.
"Were you from the ship?" The girl asked quietly but stern.
"Pardon?"
"This ship?" She kicked the wreckage around them.
"Yeah, I think so." Amy didn't like this girl very much; she was too serious.
"Then come with me." The girl walked away briskly.
"Wait, what? Why?" Amy continued to ask questions as they walked through the forest. The only things that may be useful that she found out was that her name was Courtney, she did live on this island or whatever kind of land they were on, and that Courtney didn't talk a lot; only what was necessary.
"We are here." Courtney stopped at a veil of vines and pulled them away, to reveal a magnificent tree in the middle of a small clearing and a small tree house sitting in it, like a bird's nest.
"Amazing," Amy breathed, and then she jumped back to her questions. "Did you build this? Where are we anyways? Do you live alone? Aren't you lonely…?"
Courtney had already started to climb the rope ladder that led to the tree house and was already almost to the top.
"Wait up!" Amy clambered after her.
When they got to the top, Amy cautiously peered in.
"AMY!" a shout came from inside.
"Gilberta?" Gilberta ran at her, jumping up and down.
"Amy, this is totally not awesome and I can't find anyone!" Gilberta seethed with rage. "It's like the whole ship just poofed!"
"Come in." Courtney walked in the house and gestured for them to follow. Inside, sitting on the floor, were Lee, Eileen, and Mr. Puffin.
"SQUAAAAAAAWK!" Mr. Puffin puffed out, unhappily.
"So, like, you survived…" Lee said calmly while Eileen seemed flustered and was gazing off into space.
"Whoa, did Courtney find you guys, too?" Amy asked.
"Yeah, we were more than a bit lost and it was un-awesome!" Gilberta pouted. "I haven't seen Mattie or Captain or any of the crew other than these guys…" she indicated to Lee and Eileen.
"I'm not a 'these guys," Eileen said coldly.
"Come on, princess," Lee waved his hand around. "You know what she meant."
"Do you have the necklace?" Courtney turned to face Amy.
"What? Yes, I do. This one right?" Amy pulled the green star out of her shirt and dangled it in front of her. "How did you know?"
Courtney shrugged. "I just know things. Now let's go to town."
"There's a town?! How come I couldn't find it?! I was walking around for hours just plain lost!" Gilberta started to rant again and was rewarded with a whack in the head from Courtney's bag.
Courtney leapt out of the tree house down to the jungle floor. Lee followed and helped Eileen and her puffin down and Amy and Gilberta trailed them at a slower pace.
"Do you trust her?" Gilberta whispered.
"Whaaaaaaaa?"
"Courtney. Do you trust her?"
"Well she's the only lead we have." Amy pondered a bit. "Do you have any idea what had happened back there…" she gestured towards the sea. "I mean, it was way out of the ordinary."
"…"
"…"
"…"
"I miss my brother." Amy sighed. "He's usually always there for me."
"I miss him, too, I guess."
"What?"
"Never mind…"
"We're here," Courtney interrupted and stopped them in front of the mouth of a cave. Actually, you could barely tell what it was because it was so overgrown with weeds and vines.
"This is the town?" Eileen asked cautiously.
"Will this place is cursed so we stay in here. I prefer to live outside though." Courtney dove into the underbrush. Lee shrugged and walked in; dragging Eileen along, Gilberta dashed through, and Amy ran in, last.
The cavern opened up and a dab of skylight shone through the top and dappled the sides. The leftover pirate crew stared at its beauty. Birds flew out of the trees as Courtney walked into the middle of the cave, which was marked with an above-ground circle and a few mysterious symbols.
"It alters time," Courtney said simply.
"Pardon?" Eileen lifted an eyebrow.
"The circle."
"ARGH! YOU ARE JUST AS CONFUSING AS A-" Gilberta started to yell at Courtney but as soon as she opened her mouth, Courtney disappeared with a bluish-green wisp of light from the circle.
"Like, cool. We have this kind of stuff being made in China." Lee jumped in holding Eileen's hand, who had a black glare on her face.
"Really?" Gilberta touched a symbol and she disappeared, too.
"Wait, guys! Don't leave me alone! There might be ghosts…" Amy gulped and counted twelve symbols on the circular. Well, it's not thirteen so jump Amy, jump!
Yep, there you go, onto the tranporteralizer-thingy-doo-dad.
Amy felt a rush of wind as but she couldn't scream (HEROES DON'T SCREAM GEEZ) because the air was knocked out of her as she felt like she was falling from the stern of The Alice.
THIS IS SUCH A STUPID CHAPTER
