The Other Queen - 4
Chapter 4
Lian Yu 2007
Oliver started a fire because they were cold and it seemed to take a lot of time.
"What was that all about?" Victoria asked Oliver out of the blue.
"What do you mean?" Oliver responded.
"You were by the fire in the cave and were saying I promise dad. What... What did you mean?" Victoria asked in concern.
Oliver sighed, he really didn't want to tell her about this yet. Just then the fire started to actually spark. Oliver leaned closer and didn't answer his sister. Victoria leaned over closer too, she was cold.
"Don't think that because I'm too cold to ask doesn't mean I am not going to ask you later," Victoria remarked. Oliver rolled his eyes at her, his sister was always so curious.
"What?! You say something out of the blue and I'm not suppose to be worried about you?" Victoria pointed out.
"What are you so worried about?" Oliver asked getting annoyed.
"I am worried that maybe, just maybe this island is making you... I don't know... just a little bit crazy," Victoria said bluntly.
Oliver couldn't help but laugh. Just then they heard a rustle of leaves. He put out the fire and grabbed his knife while Victoria pulled out her pocket knife.
As the guy rounded the tree Oliver attacked him and they fought until Oliver ended up pushing himself off a cliff and the man was killed by impact. Oliver slid off into the stream. Victoria was worried when she saw Oliver disappear off the cliff and watched as he got out of the water.
Oliver dressed into the man's clothes to blend in. And covered the man with tree branches.
"So what's the plan?" Victoria asked eager to get the hell out of there.
"You and I are first going to find a place that you can hide. Then I'm going to find Yao Fei," Oliver explained.
"What? I am going with you," Victoria demanded angrily.
"No, I'm going, you're staying," Oliver remarked.
"No, I am not! You're not dad and you're not mom, I don't have to listen to you," Victoria remarked angrily.
"Victoria."
"Oliver, I'm trying to survive just as much as you."
"Victoria," Oliver said taking the sides of her face in his hands."I have to do this. I also have to make sure you're safe. Do you understand?" Oliver said looking her sincerely in the eyes.
"Yes, I understand."
Oliver and her looked for a good hiding place and found an empty cave that wasn't as nice as the other one but would work.
"Okay, don't come out until I come back," Oliver ordered.
"How long should I wait?" Victoria asked.
"A couple days. First I'll get you some food then I'll leave," Oliver explained.
"But what if you die?" Victoria asked, half joking.
"Then I guess you should start getting you're own food," Oliver joked.
"Not funny," Victoria said sternly.
Oliver brought her five rabbits, kissed her on the forehead and headed out of the cave.
"Ollie?" Victoria asked in a whisper.
"Yes, Victoria?" Oliver inquired.
"Please be safe," she pleaded.
"I will," Oliver reassured with a smile and left Victoria in the cave.
Victoria pulled out her picture of herself and Thea. She smiled, she wondered what Thea was up to? Probably crying about them still being lost. Victoria wondered if she would ever get to see Thea as a grown woman? She felt a tear roll down her cheek. She had always been there for Thea. Rehearsals, recitals, dance, every play, big or small, Victoria always made sure to be there for her little sister. Thea had been kind of shy around anyone that wasn't family and Victoria liked to see when she went out of her shell and had fun.
Victoria could still remember the day Thea was born, she had been so excited. She would love going shopping with her mom to pick out all the cute little baby girl outfits, toys and of course little dresses. There was this little soft pink blanket that Victoria had told her mom to get. Thea loved that thing for ages, she would try to carry it around everywhere until she was five years. Victoria laughed at the memory.
She worried what Thea would be like as a teenager. Moria Queen was a very loving mother but she wasn't known for being strict when her children were teenagers. Oliver was a horrible teenager, skipping classes, drinking, crazy driving, doing drugs, okay maybe, maybe not the last one but he had been allowed too much freedom. Victoria, of course had moods and could be really moody or upset, sometimes over what seemed like really important things and sometimes she would just lose it. Being famous meant that there were people seeing everything about you all the time. She could hardly be in public without paparazzi, cameras flashing all the time. It got real old, real fast. She was proud of herself that she had never punched one of them.
Sitting in the damp, cold cave, Victoria wondered what Oliver had promised their father. It most be important or simply her brother was losing it on this island.
In Oliver and Victoria's sibling relationship, Oliver had always been very protective of her and of Thea. He could be going out with the worse kind of girls but if one, single bad boy showed his face around either of his sisters they were scared away. Victoria had once thought of it as nothing but purely annoying but now, now things were different. Maybe, just maybe because of that over protectiveness of Oliver's was the reason they were still alive and hopefully the reason they continued to survive on this island.
If Fyers is on this island with his men, is there a chance that some one, who isn't evil is on the island as well? Victoria thought to herself.

Oliver walked and walked, following the map that was in the jacket of his stolen clothes. He was nearing a camp of some sort. As he stepped closer he could hear foot steps and quickly hide behind a tree and pulled the mask on.
The camp had different man of all shapes and sizes all of whom had masks on. Oliver hoped that he was blending in okay. He kept stepping farther into the camp and stood in a line for food.
"Different camp, same slop. You know what I mean?" a man with a mask asked jokingly.
"Yeah," Oliver said with a laugh.
The man laughed in response. "Don't worry, it took me a while to get around the island," the man reassured.
"Thanks. Hey, I'm suppose to be transporting a prisoner. Chinese guy, who wears a green hood," Oliver explained.
"That's sounds like the guy they have in the east camp. I'm heading over there myself. Why don't you come with us, I can hitch us a ride," the man suggested.
Oliver looked down at the food someone was being served, he was hungry.
"Come on," the man hurried him. Oliver put the tray down and followed the man.
They made it to a car and right when Oliver was feeling safe he heard a familiar voice.
"Wait, I want you and you to go there, the rest with me," Fyers commanded.
Oliver felt his blood run cold. Why of all the camps he had to go to it just had to be the one Fyers was at?
As they rode along Oliver tired to calm his nerves.
"Are you one of the men posted at the border?" Fyers asked Oliver.
"Yes Sir," Olier replied quickly.
"Any news?" Fyers inquired.
"Nothing, everything's good, everything seems to check out," Oliver replied.
"Have you been with us very long?"
"Just arrived Sir," Oliver replied hoping that he sounded like a soldier instead of a sacred playboy.
"You do seem rather green. But tell me, I didn't know that they had brought any new men on the submarine," Fyers remarked.
"Submarine? I thought everything comes by plane?" Oliver asked.
"Yes, they do," Fyers remarked.
#
Fyers and Oliver were walking in a camp full of cages used as jail cells.
"This is where we keep our inmates that have a tendency to run off," Fyers said hitting Oliver to the ground with his walking stick. "Prisoners like you, Mr. Queen."
#
Oliver woke up in a jail cell. Fyers standing smugly in front of him and an other man with a mask beside him.
"Do you know why my men wear balaclavas, Mr. Queen? Because it masks everything but the eyes," Fyers explained.
"You were so desperate to save your friend. You trusted him but that trust seems to be misplaced," Fyers said with a smug grin.
The man beside him pulled of his balaclava... It was Yao Fei.
#
Later Oliver was sitting alone in his cell, wondering what had happen with Yao Fei.
Yao Fei came over towards his cell.
"So what you're working for them now? Why did you bother to keep me alive if you were just going to hand me over to them? I thought you were my friend or... something. Please just get me out of here, just get me out of here," Oliver begged.
"I can't," Yao Fei replied placing a cup of water for Oliver.
Then Yao Fei walked away.
Oliver threw the water, "Don't walk away from me. I came back for you. Do you hear me? I came back for you!" Oliver shouted.
#
It was very dark out when Oliver was being lead somewhere by Yao Fei.
"What, you're letting me out now? Where are you taking me?" Oliver asked Yao Fei.
The man didn't respond just kept leading him to a circle of Fyers men.
They watched as the man with the yellow and black mask killed another one of Fyers' men.
"Well, that fight was very one sided," Fyers joked. Then he noticed Oliver. "The reason for this little exertion is to prepare better cadets. I think our new cadet should have a go at it."
Yao Fei pushed Oliver into the circle. They started to fight, Yao Fei was easily defeating Oliver. Oliver punched him maybe twice before Yao Fei was over powering him. Then he put his arm around Oliver's neck and had a hand on his head, Oliver's vision went black... was he dead?
#
Fyers had one of his men to drop Oliver over the cliff into the waterfall.
"Wait! I will do it," Yao Fei offered.
Fyers nodded his head in agreement.
Then Yao Fei came over to Oliver, he pushed him over the cliff...
