I fall fast as the wind brushes my black wavy hair across my face as I hear faint screaming and see 2 other boys about my age maybe younger about 15? 16? Who knows. They both have kinda tan skin but the dude on the left has sandy blond hair and brown eyes and is wearing a blue shirt and black jeans and the other guy on the right has brown hair and brown eyes also but he is wearing a crimson shirt with a brown bear on it and has navy blue jeans. Anyway I look straight ahead and see tall trees and mountains. As I get closer I can hear loud noises like sirens? I hear other people yelling and know that we are in serious trouble.
Great. I think to myself. People who probably want to kill us. Yay! Either that or we all die from falling. But when we are about to hit the ground parachutes fly out of the vest thing I'm wearing we glide safely to the ground except for my parachute which disappears when I'm above a tree so I land straight on top of the tree! I fall through the leaves and brush past the branches and land right on top of the dude with brown hair.
"Ow! Dude get off!" He yells even thought I can tell he isn't mad. Scared. He's scared. I get off the dude and look for resources.
Tree's. I think. Okay that's the only good sign about this island. I remember that I took a class once about how to survive if your lost in the woods. 1. Find or make shelter. That's when the tree's come in so I can get wood and sap to make shelter. 2. Get food. The tree's also help with this because of the nut's hopefully edible. 3. Wait for rescue. At the look of things that wasn't going to happen.
I looked up and saw that the other guys were looking at me with confusion.
"Your Ken Craig right?" The one with brown hair said. "Why are you down here? Where's your crazy uncle right now? WHERE ARE WE?!" He looked angry but then saw my confused face and calmed down.
"I don't know where we are and I don't know where my uncle is, he is still crazy though and how can I trust you and this other dude? For all I know you might be aliens." I said this as brave as I could trying hard not to show that I was scared too.
The sandy blond haired boy spoke up before the brown haired guy could speak and say the wrong thing. "We are not aliens. I am Cody and this is my friend Jone. We are just as confused as you are right now." He still looked scared but now he looked something else to. Confident. "I am 17 and Jone is...." He looked at Jone. "16?"
Jone still looked a little mad but answered any way. "Yeah I'm 16." Then he went back to staring up at the tree's and back down at the ground like he was trying to figure something out.
"I'm Ken Craig like you already know and I'm 17." The night was slowly coming as the sun started to set. "Look we have to work together if we want to survive." I looked around daring anybody to say no but nobody did.
"Sooo...." Cody said clearly okay with the idea. "What should we do first other then not die."
I looked around at the tree's. "We can grab some twigs and make shelter or try and find a cave to make camp in." I looked back at them both. "Then we need to talk."
It was no problem finding a cave. We just had to walk around the mountains. We then found a bunch of twigs and made a very small fire and started roasting nuts.
Finally Cody sat down next to the fire and said. "Okay let's talk." Jone set down next to Cody while I set down opposite of them. Jone was still looking away from me but Cody said. "What do you want to hear?"
I cleared my throat. "First tell me everything." So he told me how him and Jone ran away and met my uncle with me slung over his shoulder and how he needed them to save the world, then made them pass out when they refused and how they woke up in dark rooms tied to the ground like me.
When he finished he said. "Now it's your turn." So I told him about my teacher/alien and how my uncle told me about needing to save the world and all that.
When I told him that he said I needed to find Cody and other people he spoke up. "Why me and Jone? I'm a idiot and crazy and Jones....." He looked in his mind for the right thing to say. "Well Jones kinda brave and like a total brainy." He looked at Jone like he might offend him but Jone kept looking outside. "Anyway there must be somebody we need that's on this island for the quest thingy."
All of a sudden Jone looked at us. "There must be somebody here. A girl I think at least that's what your uncle said or somebody said that."
Cody looked suddenly interested. "Really?" He blinked happily.
I punched his arm friendly. "Dude we are stuck on this island maybe going to die and your thinking about if the girls cute?" Jone and I laughed and even Cody made a embarrassed smile.
"What?" He said over our laughter. "Anyway when will we meet her?"
Before anybody could say something a voice came from the entrance of our cave. "Soon."
