Chapter 2

Hannah's blue eyes fluttered open. She shifted her limbs sore and rubbed from the sand. She blew a golden lock out of her face and sighed. Wincing as she rose up, she looked around for her friends. She crawled over to who she recognized as Ailis.

"Ailis? Ailis! Wake up!" Her reddy- brown haired friend opened her blue-green eyes.

"Ow… that was quite a storm… Where are the others?" Ailis let out a cry of pain as she tried to raise up quickly.

"Guys!" Ailis and Hannah saw two familiar figures shuffle over. Iley and Olivia. Iley's dark brown hair was soaked through and bags underneath her brown eyes. Olivia's mousey brown hair was filled with sand and her blue-green eyes had sleep in them. But it didn't prevent the friends from having a warm re-union.

"Where are we?" Olivia was first to break the warm atmosphere.

"I don't know. But I just hope we've ended up somewhere safe, or civilized, at least." Iley mumbled. Olivia rose up.

"Where are you going?" Hannah growled.

"I'm going to try to find any signs on civilized life. I'm hungry, tired and thirsty. Unless you have a better idea." The remaining three shared nervous glances before deciding to follow their friend.

The place was beautiful. The place was un-blemished. It was like no part of the world the girls had ever seen before. The air was clean and pure, it smelt as if it was free from pollution. The place was natural, containing only shades of green, brown and grey. But after about an hour of walking, the girls started to worry. They had seen absolutely no signs of life in the beautiful land.

"So, we're stuck on a deserted island in the middle of the ocean." Captain Obvious Ailis stuck again.

"Well, the first thing we need to do if we're alone is to find a water source and food." Iley put in, taking control. Nobody objected, for once.

The girls scouted the island, till they discovered a small river. The girls didn't waste any time. All were at the bank, trying to drink as much as they could. The water was sweet and cool, and it didn't take much to refresh you. Hannah walked towards a plant after about a 10 minute rest. The plants that grew in the bush were like apples, but smaller, and pinker in color. Hannah grabbed one and took a bite.

"Well, were stuck here alone, so who cares if it's poisonous." Olivia shrugged and followed Hannah's lead. Soon the girls had all eaten one of the small pink apple-like fruits.

It had been about 10 minutes since the girls had eaten, and they showed no signs of illness, so they presumed that the plant hadn't been dangerous to them. But after about half an hour, Olivia collapsed. Her vision was hazy, and she was fading in and out of consciousness. The other girls also fainted, the fruit providing to be slow at its defenses. But the girls heard footsteps, too large to be a human, but the girls didn't care. They just went un-conscious.
