Labyrinth Island

"Use this baby to stab through the fish in the water." - Axel


CHAPTER 3: First Full Day

It was morning, and an ocean breeze made the air a bit chilly.

The whole group took a place in the sand as their bunk for the night. Sora and Roxas slept in the small shelter, since they had made it.

Axel was the first to wake up, and he made a fire to sit by. Pence and Hayner woke up and sat by the fire too. "It's cold. Stupid ocean." Hayner shivered. A loud wind swept through, and the others woke up, stretching their arms out. Sitting around the fire like they did yesterday, the group shivered.

"We need to get breakfast." Sora mentioned. Hayner, Pence, Sora, and Roxas got up and headed into the tropic forest to gather whatever food they could find. "I'm gonna see if I can hunt down any animals in that forest for breakfast." Cloud said, as he got up and walked in a different direction as the boys. "Alright. Namine, your coming with me. We're gonna go fishing." Axel helped Namine up, and they headed to shore.

Namine dipped her toes into the water. A chill went through her body. She looked over to Axel, who was already out into the water that reached his knees. "The water is still shallow here! Come on, Namine!"

Namine gulped and headed further into the ocean. She was the kind to get frightened very easily, but these waters seemed nice and peaceful. She knew how to swim anyways.

Axel splashed Namine with the cold, blue water. "Haha! Come on Namine, It's not that cold!"

Namine shuddered. All of her was now wet with the cold water, so she kept wandering into the ocean until she met up with Axel. Suprisingly the water was still a bit shallow, even though they had wandered so far from shore.

"Here, take this." Axel handed Namine a long, carved branch that was sharp at the end. It resembled a wooden spear. "Use this baby to stab through the fish in the water." Axel held a spear also.

Namine's P.O.V

"Alright. This shouldn't be as hard as it looks." I took the spear from Axel. There were many small fish that swum around my feet and I stabbed at one of them.

The spear missed and the fish swam away.

After what seemed like years of stabbing and missing the fish, I looked over to Axel. It looks like he was using fire to burn the fish underwater to kill it, and he stabbed the fish through his spear. He did this multiple times and the fish that were poked through his spear were stacked. It looks like he was holding a giant fish kabob! Ughh, and I caught nothing so far.

I stopped glaring at what he was doing and focused on him. He got rid of that long black cloak, for it was extremely to hot and I'd probably die of heat wearing that here. What he is now wearing -which is what he wore underneath the cloak- was a red wifebeater and black pants rolled up to his knees.

The red wifebeater... exposed his muscular arms. Sure, he's really skinny, but his arms had muscles. It's ... attractive.

Axel caught me staring at him. "Any luck with the fish Namine?" Axel smirked, revealing his crooked smile.

I blushed and quickly looked away. "No... But you have enough fish to last us all a week!" I responded.

We soon returned back to shore. Well this is kind of embarrasing. I caught no fish and Axel caught at least twenty.

End of Namine's P.O.V.

Sora, Roxas, Hayner, and Pence appeared to be back from exploring the island for food. They walked back to the campsite together, but caught sight of Namine and came to a complete stop.

Namine graced the beach with her shining prescence; she dried her golden hair with one hand, and held a spear with the other. Her white dress sparkled on shore, and the clear blue ocean brought out her eyes. Her skin was glowing, and so was the rest of her perfectly- carved body and face. She was and angel fallen from heaven itself.

Namine spotted the boys and waved with her perfect smile. The boys waved back with a giddy, lovestruck smile.

"Hey, so you guys decided to come back?" Axel greeted the boys as they returned to the campsite. "Whoa, what the hell happened to you guys? Or did you run into hell itself?" Axel eyed the boys. They were covered in dirt. Their hair was all over the place. Their clothes were ripped.

"Funny story actually... while we were searching the place for fruit, we came across a baby chocobo. Roxas decided to ride it. Then the mommy chocobo appeared and a herd of wild chocobos attacked us!" Sora shot Roxas a glare, and Roxas felt guilty. "It's not your fault, Roxas. Anyways, one of the giant chocobos bit Hayner on the arm." Hayner emerged from behind them, limping with blood on his arm.

"Oh my gosh! Let me help you!" Namine rushed to Hayner's side, concerned of his bleeding wound.

"Sit down. I'm going to bandage this up." Namine sat beside Hayner and bandaged his wound with a first aid kit she had in her bag.

"There you go." Namine smiled at Hayner as he thanked her.

The boys grew a bit envious as Hayner stole the attention of the beautiful, sweet angel. So I'll just fake an injury to get her attention? Done!

"AHHHH MY LEG HURTS!"

"I GOT STUNG BY A BEE!"

"I BROKE MY ARM!"

"My tummy tickles!"

The boys all glared at Pence. "Whaaat? It's totally that fuzzy fruit fruit from last night."

All was silent, then a burst of laughter came from everyone. They rolled on the sand laughing, completely forgetting that they had "injuries." Namine giggled, and Cloud arrived holding a dead chocobo.

It was a delicious breakfast, as the group shared their stories.
