The sounds of waves crashing and birds tweeting woke me. That and the hundred degree sun beaming down on me, causing me to sweat, and feel hot.
I lift my head and look around. There is sand, and further ahead are palm trees and a jungle. Everything is green, blue, and bright.
I sit up on my knees and lick my dry lips, getting sand in my mouth. I spit the sand out and notice the dryness of my throat. Shakely I stand to my feet, stumbling a little, and turn to the sea. The first thing I notice is I see nothing but ocean in the distance. The second thing I notice is the suitcases floating in the water. I make my way to them and haul them out of the water. I get the third and last one I see out and haul it up to the other three on the sand.
Once I gathered them saftley away from the water, I decide to look for water, not being able to ignore the burn in my throat. Remembering all those survivor shows I wathced, water is the most imortant thing to have.
Making my way towards the jungle, I look down at myself. My jeans are ripped and my shirt has been ripped off from the bottom, now it looks like I have some weird sports bra on. Everything is wet too, making my sneakers squish with every step, making my feet feel weird.
When I step through the trees I look for any sign of water. When finding nothing I walk deeper into the woods. While walking I make sure to keep straight so I don't end up lost, and I take in the scenery. There were birds flying from branch to branch, ranging from all kinds of colors, blue, purple, red, and so on. I have never seen these kind of birds before. There were thick, tall trees with moss covering them, and some with vines hanging off them. Tall leafy plants, which coverd the jungle floor. Beautiful flowers,ones I haven't seen before either, with colors mixing in with colors, some were huge too! Like car huge! Is that even normal? I didn't look deeper into it, since I have bigger problems to deal with, I kept walking. I don't know how long I was walking until I heard the beautiful sound of rushing water. Taking off into a sprint following the sound and my burning throat.
When the sound got louder, I break through the plants and stare in complete awe. There was about a 30 ft waterfall with the uniqe flowers and vines decorating beside it. Rocks surrounded the bottom and one large rock was stuck in the middle of the pond shaped pool. It was something like a mermaids paradice.
Jumping with joy I take off my sneakers and jump in. Not bothering to take my clothes off. Not caring if there were snakes or god knows what else in there. I just needed to cure my burning throat and sweat soaked body. Surfacing the water I smooth my hair back and smile.
I cup water in my hands and gulp down the water. Once my throat is satisfyed I swim towards the waterfall. When I was close enough, I pulled myself up one of the surrounding rocks. Standing I started hoping rock from rock, silently prying I wouldn't fall and break my neck. Once I was on a semi flat rock, behind the fall, I stepped into the falling water.
Sighing,I closed my eyes and let the water beat on my sore back. I tilted my head up and threw my arms up smiling like a fool at the refreshing feeling. Thats when I felt like I was being watched. I put my head and arms down, and opened my eyes searching the area. When I see nothing but trees, flowers, and plants, I shake it off and lable it as me being paranoid.
I step out from under the fall and hop scotch the rocks again, getting out of the rock area to dive into the water. When clear of rocks I jump back into the water knowing I needed to get back to see what was in those suitcases. As soon as I got back to my sneakers I heard a twig snap. I jerk my head to the direction the sound came from, and see two yellow eyes staring back at me. I freeze in terror at the lepard.
Yellow fur with black spots and huge white, sharp teeth, and was abnormally huge. If I was any closer I was sure it's head would reach my shoulder. The yellow eyes watched me with a preditory gleam in its eyes. Right now he was the preditor and I was its prey.
Oh god. He looks hungry. How the heck am I supposed to get out of this one? I slowly straighten up, watching the lepard who was watching me.
"Nice kitty" I try to say in a gental tone, kind of hard when your shaking like a leaf, "please don't eat me" I have no idea if it was coincidence or not, but as soon as I said that it charged at me.
I took off runing into the jungle, my bare feet slapping against the ground. I could hear the huge cat behind me growling and chasing me. I took a hard left when I noticed it was getting closer to me. I heard its anrgy cry behind me, pouring fear into me.
Grinding my teeth, I tried to focus on running away and not the pain in my feet, it was like I could feel every cut I got on them, but I didn't stop. Jumping and rolling over a fallen tree trunk,and back to running, I looked over my shoulder. You know those stupid horror movies when your screaming at your TV yelling at the girl not to turn around, but she does anyway and ends up falling and getting murdered?
Yeah, thats what happened to me, as soon as I turned, my foot got caught and I tripped and went down hard. I flipped onto my back and saw the lepard stopped a few feet away, and started to slowly walk to me, as if it was mocking me! Trying to stand, I fell back down crying out in pain. I must have twisted my ankle when I fell. I looked around for anthing to protect myself withand noticed we were in a small round flower clearing. Nothing sharp or pointy in a patch of flowers. I glanced behind me and saw a good sized tree with it roots arching out of the ground creating a small shelter of roots. I noticed a small entrence where I would be able to squeeze through.
Facing the cat again I start crawling back with my hands and one foot, all the while it was stalking towards me. Once I was close enough, it seemed to know what I was up to because it launched at me again with an angry cry. I quickly squeezed through, just in time too, because just as I pulled my other foot in, its powerful jaws were snapping at me through the root barier.
Releif flooded me when I thought I was finally safe. Then it was as if god was against me, and the cat started raming, biting, and scratching the roots. They started to crack, and thats when istarted screaming. I got that powerful scream too. You know that movie King Kongand that girl Ann's scream, yeah, thats exactly how my cream sounds.
The lepord started getting its head into the root cave, and I started crying. I thought about my mom, and how much I would miss her and her me. I thought about how painful this death was going to be. Just when I started to get into the death detail the lepord was yanked back.
I stared in shock, to scared to move. Then I heard growls and grunts on the outside of the roots. I slowly crawled to where the lepord was trying to get in and poked my head out, and believe me, the sight I saw was definitly not what I was expecting.
At all.
There was a man who ahd to be at least 6'5 and he was built like a truck ,and had an 8 pack! He was tan and had black shoulder length hair and was wearing a brown cloth that covered his......privates. I know now what not the time, but my horemones were in overdrive and I was feeling hot!
The strange was growling, and holy shiznit, it was the sexiest sound I ever heard! The lepord was growling too and they were cicling each other. Then the lepord jumped at him, and the guy didn't move! Is he carzy? He then threw his hands up and caught the cat by his throat and he fell back, the cat on top. The man pushed his feet up and kicked the animal off him. The cat flew in the opposite direction and landed on its back. The man took out a knife when the lepord got back up. The cat looked at the knife, the man, and then at me, turned and darted back into the jungle.
Holy crap, this guy was like a real life Tarzan. He has the lion cloth and definitly has the muscles. I was ripped from my thoughts when the man himself walked towards me. I was still halfway outon my hands and knees.
The look on his face was curious when he walked over to me. I stared at him with my mouth hanging and eyes wide. He looked even yummer up close!
Then he suddely bent down and grabbed me by shoulders and stood me up, like I didn't weight 130lbs. I was snapped out of my lust filled daze when pain shot through my ankle. I cried out falling, but before I could fall, huge ,warm , rough hands grabbed me by the waist. Stunned I looked up and saw Tarzan look a like holding me up. His face showed concern and I felt thrilled he was worried about me. His warm, inviting, chocolate brown eyes stared at me in question.
"M-m-my an-ankle is hurt" I stuttered. I can't beleive I just stuttered like that! So stupid! Why did- I was brought out of my self scoulding when I suddenly felt the ground leave me.
I squeaked i suprise and blushed when i relized he was carring me bridal style. He smiles at me, and hot coco let me tell you, that smile made me melt and any protests I was about to put up was gone, my arousle shot throught the roof too.
His nostrils flare and he stiffens, his eyes darkening on me. Oh my. He shakes his head and starts walking, his hair tickling my cheek. All I could think about was holding on it while he was doing naughty thing to me. Jeeze snap out of it! Where did these thoughts come from?
"Where are you taking me?" I question him. Panick started to sink in, I mean yeah the guy might be hot, but he could be a psyco and make me a slave or worse a sex slave. I can't be a sex slave I'm only 17, I haven't even had my first kiss, yet alone sex.
He seemed to have picked up on my definsive, panicky, attutude. He stopped and looked at me with his warm eyes.
"you are safe" he said. Holy crackers! His voice was deep and husky, and oh my gosh it was.....heaven. Made me even more aroused than before. He clenched his strong jaw and his eyes got darker.
I gaped at him, completley stunned he spoke, yet alone English. I couldn't help but trust him, maybe it was stupid, but I had a feeling he wouldn't hurt me. He did savemy life from being eaten. I nod my head at him, he smiles and once again I am in a daze. He starts walking again and Ijust stare at him. I know it might be creepy, but if you was me you couldn't help but stare either.
I don't know how long he was wakling until we came upon, what looked like a tree house. It looked like it was built with logs and boat parts. It had a balcany like structure on one side at the lower half of the building. There was a huge deck at the top and a large round wooded shelter connected to the deck. It had a a rope bridge connecting it to a boat like building that was on the other side next to a tree. The lower half of the the big deck house had a small rope bridge connecting toanothe deck with a canopy of big leafs hovering over it. Next to that was a pully like system that had a boat tied to it and a net of rocks on the ground connecting with the pully system, the boat was next to the small deck.It was very cozy looking, I was just wondering how we were going to get up there. I couldn't climb, and I doubt he would be able to carry me up there with him.
All of a sudden he throws me over his shoulder. I squeak again and am facing the ground. I do have to admit I can not get mad at him for giving me such a good veiw of his butt. He has a pretty perfict fit tush, i kind of want to pinch it. Then he takes off, jerking in suprise i use my hands to hold my self up on his back as much as possible. Hmmmm...his muscles feels soooo good.
Stop it! You just met the guy, heck, I don't even know his name! I'm over here having fantasies about him, i've never done this before.
Suddenley he jumps and all I see is the ground getting futher away from me. Terrified I close my eyes, and hope it will be over soon. Then he slings me back into his arms. I din't know if he was done or not so I wrap my arms around his neck and keep my eyes squeezed shut.
I hear him chuckle and feel hi chest vibrate.
"It's over now" I hear him say. I slowly open my eyes and look around. There is a wood table and some of those huge flower petals tied together with a small vine creating a fluffy looking seat, there are a couple of those around. There is a window with a bamboo stick sticking in with a root stuck in hole, below it is a wooden counter with a hole in it. Then a few round wooden plates next to it, I asume thats the kitchen. There is bed with those huge petals, and huge feathers? The blanket looks life the fur of a couple of lepord stiched togehter. There are braches thats have been buit around and added into the house. There is a small room with a petal tied tied to the side of the wall, iside of the room was a couple more bamboo sticks tied together side by side higher on the wall with roots pluged into them. There is a round wooden stump in there too, i guess that is the bathroom, i don't even want to know how the tolite works.
It's more than I thought it was going to be. I expected him to take us to a cave with rock furniture. It's all pretty cozy, I like it.
I then notice i'm still in his arms, with my own arms wrapped arouund his neck, and i am definitly aware that his hand is touching my bare back. Raising my eyes to his, i see he is looking at me with amusement and curiosity, and I am pretty sure I see lust in those eyes. My eyes widen at this and I quickly jump out of his arms, surprising him and myself at my speed. Although I am regreating it seconds later when I put pressure on my ankle. I cry out in pain and he cathces me again before I fall.
He frowns, picks me up, and sets me table. he leaves and I watch him got to the bathroom and pull out cloth from somewhere beside the 'tolite'. Then he travels to the kitchen, grabs a wood bowel, unplugs the root and water starts to flow from the bamboo. He fills it up and comes back to me. He hands me the water, and i drink it while he watches me, realizing the run made me thirsty. Once Im finished I hand it back to him and he goes back to the water, refills, replugs, and back to me again. He sets the cloth down next to the water, grabs a flower seat and sits between my legs. He gently grabs my foot and studies my bloody cut up feet, and frowns at them. Then he grabs some cloths, dips it into water and starts to cleam my cuts. I wince and tear up while he cleans, but stay quiet. After cleaning me up he wraps my anlke in cloth, like the doctors do, confused how he knew this. When he is done he gets up and grabs the dirty clths and bowl. He goes to the sink and sets eveything down in there. He comes back and stops in front of me staring at me.
"Thank you" I tell him "for everything" I shyly look up at him between my lashes.
"your welcome" he replies. I try to stand up, but he is next to me in a flash pushing me back.
"You need to rest, you can not put wait on that foot" he scolds me. Wow, thats the most he said to me so far.
He picks me up again and carries me to the bed, he gently sets me down and stands straight. "sleep now" he commands. I frown slightly but doesn't protest, since i am pretty tired. I nod and lay down on my side,closing my eyes.
"My name is Skylar by the way, but you can call me Sky" I mumble, then yawn. Wondering what his name is.
"Im Felix" he replies.
I smile, "it's nice meeting you......Felix" I whisper then gave into sleep.
