Felicity POV
I'm dreaming. I have to be dreaming. No way did I just lean in and kiss Oliver. Maybe I hit my head on a rock or something when that wave knocked me underwater? Maybe I was hallucinating the kiss? It felt so real.
It was as if I had a out of body experience. My mind instructed me to say one thing as my defiant lips spoke the exact opposite. Maybe it was all the death defying events I had been through in the past twenty-four hours that made me so bold.
Looking into his bright blue eyes seemed to act as a truth serum. The babbling walls I had heavily constructed for defense against my nerves seemed to come tumbling down in a large heap at that very moment. I told Oliver, without my normal babble, that I had pictured kissing him. It was me who leaned my lips towards his initiating that soul shattering kiss between us on that small island.
Watching that crazed maniac kill the Queen Consolidated co-pilot was absolutely terrifying. It was rude awaking. I honestly thought that we were here on this island all alone. Now a psychotic murderer was running around the island hunting the two of us down with his pet wolf.
What if it would have been Oliver that had been captured by the psychopath? What if it had been me? The wolf had me right where it wanted me earlier. Even if I had hit the beast with my stick for a weapon, it still would have had the upper hand. The wolf had probably been waiting for it's master to come and collect me, but was distracted by the noise.
"We are going to get through this Felicity. Together," he whispered against my lips snapping me out of my thoughts and back to the hellish reality I was stuck in.
It was real. This wasn't a dream. This was happening right now.
"Okay," I whispered right back. He had successfully calmed me down. I had been hysterical earlier and had taken it out on him. "I'm sorry."
"For what?" He questioned sounding confused. Our faces had drifted slightly apart. An image of Oliver being held by Kai with a knife against his throat flashed through my brain. His eyes searched mine for an answer, and I quickly shifted my gaze to the sandy ground.
His hand found its way under my chin and lifted my face back up towards his. His eyebrows were arched as his expression begged me to tell him the answer he was looking for.
"I'm sorry I freaked out and acted a little irritable towards you earlier," I apologized giving into his eyes. As if his blue eyes were a vortex, I became lost once again in their gravitational pull.
"Felicity," he muttered scrunching his eyebrows, "You just watched someone die. I think you are allowed to freak out."
"I know. I know... it's just ever since we landed on this island we've experienced nothing but chaos. I'm so scared of dying or possibly losing you that I think I'm losing my sanity," I explained thinking of all the hell we had been through in the last twenty-four hours.
"I know it's hard. There were so many times I just wanted to give up on Lian Yu. But I kept fighting and made it through," he encouraged. I felt his hand find its way to my uninjured one. Carefully he intertwined my fingers with his.
"I won't let that lunatic lay a finger on you. I will keep you safe," he promised reassuringly.
"Do you have a plan to stop him?" I asked curiously through a scratchy voice . My throat was sore and extremely dry from all the saltwater I had taken in earlier. The dehydration I was experiencing only seemed to worsen with the blistering hot rays of the sun beating down on my body.
"We need to take them by surprise. We need to do something unthinkable," he replied seeming to be thinking out loud.
"So you're sending me in then with guns blazing," I joked.
"Not exactly," he replied. He looked like he had an idea.
"Oliver, what exactly are you planning?" I asked confused.
"Do you trust me?" He asked instead of answering the question.
"Of course. Oliver you are starting to scare me. " He looked deep in thought as if he was plotting out every possibility of what could happen.
"Trust me, okay? Let's head back to the shore," he said with pleading eyes.
"Wait, we're going back to Spooky Island?" I asked feeling a wave of terror sweep over my body.
"Yes. You need water and pain medicine. He isn't going to strike now. It sounded like he was planning on resting first before he decides to strike again."
"Okay," I answered putting my complete trust in him. You are a brave girl Felicity! Sure you want to keel over and die right now because of all the pain, but you are still going! Oliver isn't going to let anything happen to you.
Carefully, Oliver helped me back into the warm salt water. The familiar sting of the salt returned once more as I clung to Oliver for dear life. A few waves tried pulling us apart. Thankfully Oliver had a strong grip on me.
We made it back to the shore. Oliver carried me bridal style towards the campfire we had made earlier. The fire was out now. A few burned pieces of driftwood lay on top of a pile of smoking ash. Thankfully, crazy Kai and his side kick Toto didn't touch out supplies.
Oliver gently sat me down on the blanket. He dug out the bottle of Ibuprofen and handed me what little water we had left. Taking a disgustingly warm swig, I swallowed the pills with a sour look on my face.
Looking towards the jungle, fear settled in running a chill down my spine. The eerie look of the jungle had transformed into a full blown nightmare in less than twenty-four hours.
I'm sure Kai knows this island like the back of his hands. Oliver and I would have nowhere to hide once he started looking for us again.
How long had he lived on this island? Did he have other wolves trained as well? Why was he hunting down people on this island?
Taking a deep breath, I closed my eyes. I needed to stay focused if I had any chance of getting out of here alive. Pushing my worries aside, I opened my eyes and looked up at Oliver.
"Alright boss. What's the plan?
