two | good way to get killed

On this trip, the remote destination was Whale Island.

The minute you got there, you fell in love. You loved seeing all of the friendly natives at the port, along with a variety of people from all walks of life who were there to rest between voyages. It was exciting for you to be outside, seeing a new place in the world.

Of course, your father was a total buzz-kill.

Right after you got off of the boat, he pulled you close and hissed in your ear, "No funny business, you got it? We're only here for a few hours, now isn't the time to piss me off."

He squeezed your hand painfully as he pulled you through the small crowd gathered at the port and then up the mountain and into the forest. You stopped before a small cabin in the woods. He pulled you to a tree stump and forced you to sit.

"Stay here," he grumbled, "I'll be out at 5 o'clock."

You huffed and folded your arms over your chest as he disappeared inside the cabin. Five o'clock? Seriously? It was still mid-morning and you were beyond frustrated to be stuck on a tree stump instead of exploring this new island.

Your sulking was interrupted when you heard the voice of a boy behind you.

"Hi!"

Startled, you turned around to see the source of the voice. A boy with an interesting green outfit and a fishing pole resting against his shoulder smiled brightly at you.

"I'm Gon! What's your name?" He beamed, prancing closer to you.

Your eyes widened in surprise. It had been so long since you had been around a kid your own age. Staying with your dad was always lonely, you missed having friends of your own.

You took a fearful look at the cabin before turning to the boy and whispering shyly, "My name is (Y/N)."

"(Y/N)-chan?" He smiled.

You nodded lightly.

"It's nice to meet you! Where are you from? I never see any other kids on the island, so you must be visiting...right, (Y/N)-chan?"

You eyed the cabin once more, checking to see if anyone was watching, "Yeah....I'm from the Republic of Padokea. It's really not as pretty as Whale Island, though..."

"Oh," he said, sitting on the grass in front of you, "how long are you staying for, (Y/N)-chan?"

You frowned as you looked down at your feet, "Only a few hours, I have to leave at five o'clock."

The boy smiled as he sprang up from his spot in the grass, "We should get going then!"

"What?"

"Don't you want to see the island before you leave? I can show you the island and we can play!"

Your eyebrows knit together at the conflict presented to you. Should I risk getting caught? If he notices that I'm not sitting here, I'm as good as dead...But he said he wouldn't be coming back until 5 o'clock right?

This could be my only shot at making a friend. Maybe just this once...

"Yeah," you gave him a small smile and stood up from the stump, "that sounds fun. We have to be back by five though!"

He let out a joyful laugh as he took your hand and pulled you into the forest.

You hadn't had that much fun in a very long time.

Gon took you all over Whale Island. He took you fishing and even taught you how to catch a fish on your own. You went to the shore and felt the hot sand between your toes. You sighed in delight at the smell of the sea-salt coming from the ocean. He took you to the forest and the mountains. You both laughed hysterically when Gon tripped and fell into a pond. He took you to his house for lunch. You met a sweet lady named Mito-san. You almost cried in delight when she served you a nice, hot, homecooked meal. She reminded you so much of your mom and you wanted to stay with them more than anything.
