Chapter 16

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DIDN'T GET ANY ANIMALS?!" Mia was currently yelling at the four pirates, Shayne, Kan, Blade, and Yousef, for coming back empty handed when they were specifically sent to go hunting for a couple animals since they were low on food.

"We didn't see anything. And it was getting late," Shayne replied.

"You could've at least gotten one or two animals!" Mia continued in her yelling rage.

"Well it's not like we started early either. We were only out there for about an hour," he said trying to make it sound better. Only to find out it was making the situation worse.

"WELL WHOSE FAULT IS THAT THAT IT TOOK US SO LONG TO FIND THIS ISLAND!" Mia yelled.

"Not mine. I mean, we don't have a navigator," he said.

"Then it's your job to navigate until you find us one!" Mia said as she stomped out of the room on the ship.

"Wow, you just got told," Blade said behind him.

"Your not helping," Shayne said turning around. "So, what are we gonna do now?" He asked.

"I guess we have to get twice as much tomorrow," Kan suggested going out of the room. "Any way, good night."

The next morning the four of them found themselves in the forest again. Only this time the dragon was with them.

"Hey Barry, if you see anything point it out okay!" Shayne shouted down to him from high up in a tree.

"Shayne, I think you're just scaring everything away!" Yousef shouted up to him.

"Why do you say that!" Shayne asked.

"Think about it," he replied. "You're high up in a tree and we're hunting for birds. If any of 'em see you they'll just fly away."

"Hm," he said to himself, "I guess you're right." He said as he jumped down.

"So you see anything?" Kan asked when he got down.

"Nope," he replied. "Nothing's up there."

Then they saw a large group of birds flying over the top of the mountain and just right above the trees they were under.

"Look at all the birds," Shayne said. Then he turned around to the rest of them. "Hey Kan, shoot some lightning at 'em so we can catch 'em!" He ordered.

"What?"

"Just do it. We might not get another chance." And after he said that Kan shot some lightning into the sky. It hit a number of the birds just as they were about to leave the sky. "Now lets go get 'em." Shayne said running to where most of the birds fell.

As they made their way past the bushes into the clearing where the birds fell they saw a dark brown blur pass right over the field.

"What was that?" Kan asked as the got past the bushes.

"I don't know," Blade said. "Let's just get the birds you shot and get out of this forest and get back to the boat." He said as he walked into the middle of the clearing.

The clearing wasn't that big. And the grass wasn't that tall either. But after walking around for about five minutes none of them found any of the birds. "Hey Shayne, you sure this is where the birds fell?" Kan asked him.

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure," he said.

Then they heard a rummaging noise from behind a couple of bushes. As the four of them got closer to the bush the sound sounded more like something was eating something else.

"So who wants to find out what's making the noise?" Shayne asked his crew.

"What do you mean Captain? It's not that hard to peak past the bushes and see what's behind it?" Yousef said in a worried yet scared voice.

"Yeah Captain," Kan backed him up.

Shayne turned around back to the bush. "Well, here goes nothing."
