lifting my face from the sand i looked around, my neck hurt it was stiff for a second i thought i couldnt move it at all, and my left leg was in alot of pain, the suff lapped and my legs as i lay there. looking around i saw others washed up on the shore, not all as fortunate as me, some were obviously dead, the rest were still unconcious. my head was pounding, slowly dragging myself to my feet i looked down at the crimson puddle seeping into the sand where my head had been.

i stood up straight and brushed the damp sand off my front, my jeans were ripped and my leg was bleeding heavily, i could still feel the blood trickling down my cheek. sticking my tounge out i wiped it from my face as it passed my mouth, the taste of the blood was sweet and welcoming as it ridded my mouth of the aweful taste of seawater. i looked around the island on my feet, then out to the sea, there was no way out. i was stranded here, frantically i searched my surroundings for an escape. nothing.

limping on my bad leg i set out across the beach, dodging courpses and wounded people unconcious at my feet, brushing my hair and rain from my face untill i reached the trees that lead into some kind of forest, i took cover under the boardering trees shaking violently from the cold and curled up into a little ball awaiting the awakening of anyone else.

Lee saw the girl laying in his rain forest. He had lived on the island for so long that he just called it his. Le yelled at the girl "What are you doing here!" his voice had not been used for so many years he almost scared himself when he yelled. He poke the girl with his spear.

I awoke to the boiling sun beating down on my skin. The flesh on both my shoulders had been burned, I could tell. I groaned. Not again, Mum was going to kill me! I clenched my fists together, getting a handful of sand. What? I pushed my self from the ground, I was on a beach. Cool water lapped at my legs, soothing many cuts and burns. What on earth?

Looking around in horror I saw many dead, even one decapitated. I screamed, pushing from the ground and running from the shore. I was cover in sand, my braid had come lose and was caked with sand and blood, not my own blood. I sobbed, tripping and falling, only to grasp to a tree trunk. I pressed my face against it and felt something move against my cheek, I stumbled back and sank to the ground, pressing my face into my hands. No no no. Why now?

After a moment of sobbing, I looked around again and wiped my face of tears. Sniffling slightly, I sighed and inspected the rest of my body. My orange tee shirt had a large hole in the stomach area, my jeans and tennis shoes were fine though. Other from being covered in salt from the ocean and sand from the beach, thankfully, I wasn't severely injured.

Or so I thought until I peaked into the hole of my shirt. There was a large angry gash in my stomach, inches away from my belly button. It ran from a few inches above my waist to centimeters away from the under wire of my bra. I groaned and lay down again. Looking out at the many dead people, and few that I now noticed were breathing, but unconscious, and waited for another to wake.

As Lee heard the scream he new there were more on his island not just this one girl. Lee snuck around and through his forest to see a crashed ship and lots of unconscious maybe even dead people all over his beautiful beach. He ran away when he thought someone had seen him. He had wondered how these people had crashed on his island. He just hoped for the people to call for help and leave.

I looked out at the island, it was rather beautiful minus the dead people and a crashed ship. The trees were rightly green as was other foliage where it lie.

I bit my lip, I need supplies. Standing carefully, I started towards people. The dead obviously would no longer need their things. After searching many bodies and the occasional purse, I found a purple compact with a cracked mirror, a plastic water bottle with less that a quarter left (which I had already drank), a ripped back pack, and a soggy book. I also grabbed two shirts, one that would fit me to replace my orange tee, and another to dress my wound.

I placed my findings in my bag and then crumpled to the ground by a boy missing an arm. The tears started flowing down my cheeks freely and my vision blurred. "I'm so sorry." I whispered to the dead boy, "I'm so sorry." I closed his vacant eyes, grabbed my back pack, and stood from the beach. There were more bodies, more shirts I could have taken, sweaters I should have taken, but I could no longer rob from the dead.

Heading towards the water I tried to see a majority and minority of dead to alive. The majority were dead. Rinsing my hands clean of blood, dressed my wound, which had now started to ooze thick red blood from all my movement, and returned the trees. I leaned my back against one, soaking in the shade, closed my eyes and dozed.

Lee was watching the beach from his tree home that he built out of bamboo and leaves he loved his new life it was like there were no rules but then this one time these people just had to crash on his island of all the islands of the world they had to crash here. When he saw all the people he just knew one thing more would die because they were stupid like he was when he first was stranded. He eyed one girl in priticular who did look like she knew nobody would come. she just took stuff from the dead and after that she just fell asleep. As night fell Lee went on to the beach and spent the whole night diging up grves and buried every last person. and the rest of the night managed to get the ship to drift away from his island. He left and went back to his home.

Again the sun was brilliant in my eyes. It took several moments before I could see, and when I could, I stared in shock.

The bodies were gone.

I cried again, when would I run out of tears? But it was like she was at 20 people's funerals at once, watching all their loved ones cry and thinking of the ones I had lost. I placed my hand on my chest, resting between my breasts was a locket my mother had given me. Inside was the only picture of my father and myself together. I pulled it out and unlocked it, looking at my father, softly stroking his face.

Taking deep breathes, I closed the locket and turned back to the matter at hand. Surviving. I had seen the movies, the love, the drama, the getting saved, and I knew that wouldn't happen. I wasn't naive. Standing on trembling legs wasn't easy. I was sore, exhausted, and hungry. I went to the water again and washed my self, my clothes, the back pack, and my hair. I combed my hair as well as I could, then tied it back in a braid. The familiar weight was comforting.

I decided I would stay by the water for a couple days, to see if any other survivors would show up. With this in mind, I filled my bottle with sea water and headed into the trees, looking from some sturdy sticks I could use to build a shelter. I had seen tons of movies and my dad and I used to play survivor at our pool with a tent our fire pit. I knew how to make a fire with flint and steel, but not with just wood.

Either way, I grabbed enough twigs to attempt a fire. I brought this back to the shore and hunted for some sticks, bringing them back, building, and then getting more. The sun was in the middle of the sky by the time I had finished my shelter, and I collapsed to the ground in exhaustion and thirst. I knew I needed to start a fire soon.

I had once heard that you could purify sea water. As I looked hopelessly at the bottle of water it seemed less and less likely. I could get salt out of it if I wanted, but what good would salt be? I could check the ship, perhaps there may be food left. Then I realized that the ship was also gone.

As Lee saw the girl trying to start a fire without much Progression he for some reason wanted to help he had never helped anyone in his entire life he didn't even know how to help her but he knew he just had to some how no matter what it took. Lee decided to give her something should not live without, Water. He grabbed some water in one of his baskets that he weaved and silently put it by her campsite when the girl turned her head Lee rushed away as quickly as he could.

I hung my head in shame, my father would be so disappointed.

I heard a rustle beside me and my head snapped up. All I saw was tattered clothes as someone disappeared, leaving waving leaves behind them.

"W-wait!" I held up my hand, I would have given chase, but my body refused to do so. My hand fell to my side. I stared at the place where the leaves had now stopped swaying. I looked down and saw a weaved basket. I moved cautiously closer and glanced in. It looked like...water. I picked up the beautiful weaved basket, and sniffed it's contents. Definitely water. I toke a sip, and then more. Just enough though, I knew I wouldn't get this treasure anytime soon.

I dumped the saltwater out of the bottle, spat in the bottle to clean out the remnants of sea water. Normally I would be disgusted by such an action, but I was not about to contaminate my only water supply. I poured the water from the basket into the bottle, and then drank the little droplets that were left in the basket.

I considered keeping the basket, it would be helpful, but the thought of the person returning to get it was far to tempting.

"Thank you." I said to the air, hoping maybe they would hear. "Thank you." I said again. I delicately placed the basket back to were it had been placed and carefully ripped out a page of the book that I had scavenged. I pulled a little moss off of the tree and rubbed it against the paper, writing;
'Thank you for your kindness.'
I folded the papers and placed them carefully in the basket. I wiped the sand off the bottom and placed it a little towards to the foliage, so the person wouldn't have to expose themselves to retrieve it.

I then continued trying to work at the fire, not getting anymore than warmth from the friction and pent up frustration. With no luck, I set the fire aside. And went to explore the beach, and to try and figure out where the dead had gone.

Lee watched the girl leave and walk over to the beach He thought to himself "Why am i hiding I shouldn't be afraid this is my island this is my home I shouldn't be scared of anyone on here. Ok then that settles it I will let her know who I am." And with that Lee walked out to the Beach to find this mystery girl.

I crouched close to the ground. There was darker colored sand in places and I had to wonder if someone had buried them. I didn't mind, of course, seeing them, people who lost their lives, laying there lifelessly brakes my heart. I pressed my palm against the darker colored sand, it packed together under my touch and was slightly damp. I closed my eyes and had a moment of quietness for all who had died.

In my moment of sadness and silence I told myself no more crying for those who are lost, for if I did I would join them in the world of death.

This is when I soft footsteps approaching. I glanced over my shoulder and saw a man in tattered clothing. He had dirty grey hair and a long black beard. He didn't smell the best either, but I don't imagine I do either. He smelled better than the corpses though, and the familiar scent of dirt and sweat was almost comforting.

I stood, he was taller than myself, I could tell even though he still stood a distance away.

"Hello?" I said, my voice hoarse.

He sounded highly educated, though his appearance was contradicting. I smiled. "Thank you, I don't think I would have made it much longer." I could tell he was uncomfortable, but I was so excited to see another person I couldn't help but bombard him with questions. "What's your name? How old are you? How long have you been here?" I paused, then said softly, gesturing to the ground. "Did...did you bury them?"

"Yes I buried them. That way they could rest in peace. And if you want the answers to your other questions then come with me back to my home There I can give you the answers." Lee started to walk back to his home without an answer from the girl.

I stared at the man, awestruck. I was wondering if I should follow or not. If I followed, could I ever find my way back to the beach? Would I? I bit my lip. His house? He must have been here for a while, I decided. His sincerity when answering my one question made me trust him. He was already aways across the beach, and I ran to catch up. I followed close behind him, as we entered the dense rain forest.

"Over here" Lee says when walking through the forest "I hope you know how to climb" he says while grabbing a hold of the tree trunk. "My house will be sturdy enough to hold us so don't worry about it breaking" Lee called back as he was climbing the tree.

I was tripping and tumbling through the forest, often reaching for trees for support. He walked gracefully through, though, dancing around things that tripped me, and avoiding all dangers. When he said he hoped I knew how to climb, I became worried. The last time I had climbed anything was before my dad had died. I considered using my knife to help, but I don't imagine that would please the man much. I hesitated, waited until he reached the top, which was sooner than I expected, and then tried to climb the tree.

I wrapped my arms around the base and pulled myself up. It wasn't until I was a few feet off the ground that I noticed worn spots on the trunk. I let go of the tree, fell to the ground and pull off my shoes. I put them in the bag and then placed my bare feet in the worn spots. I didn't have the best grip, but managed to climb the tree to the top where his house stood. Made of bamboo. And leaves. I became very nervous.

"Oh I noticed you learned shoes can kill you in a place like this you may as well just throw those to the wolves now. Any ways My name is Lee Jacobson I have no clue what my age is anymore but i can say I have been here for about 5 years now and came here when i was 27 so i think that should make me 32 years old now but who's counting?" Lee said to the girl.
"Now I think it tis time for me to ask you questions 1. Who are you? 2. how old are you? 3. How did you get here?

I thought of the shoes in my back pack, and how he said they could kill me out here. Then again, with out them I would definitely be less mobile. I would keep them for now, but only use them when necessary.

When the man, Lee, told me he had been here for 5 years, my jaw dropped. I snapped it closed.

"Um, well 1. I'm Jemitri Sabriel, 2. I'm 18, or at least I think. The Saturday was my birthday, but I don't know what day it is, so I could be 19," I never thought about how time had past, a couple days? A week? I bit my lip, and then continued. "And, um, 3. I was on a cruise for my birthday, just me thank god. I guess the ship sank, or became a giant fireball, I don't remember much." I rubbed my temples, a tear escaped as I thought of the other people. I wiped it away quickly.

I tried to distract myself. "How long has it been since you've seen another person? Do you ever get lonely? Do you have a family? Wait, do you live with someone on the island? How did you build this place? How did you get here?" I stopped, and blushed a little. I hadn't meant to ask all of that. "Sorry, I don't mean to bombard you, I'm just curious."

"Well I had a job on a travel agent so my clients always wanted me to go to places to check them out before they did so this one time they asked me to take a boat out to Hawaii so I tried but blew off corse and went into a storm ended up here and just started to try hunting and survival. Every day I tried to contact people to save me then i just lost the willpower to do so. I used to have kids a wife I have no clue where they are anymore or if they even remember me. Or care" Lee starts to cry from the thought of old memories. "If there is one thing you need to know it is that you can't just keep the tears inside or it will just keep eating at you from the inside out. And then you will go mad.

I listened quietly. His tears brought on my own. "I'm sorry." I wanted to touch his hand or shoulder, but I wasn't sure how he would react, so I let him cry it out. When Lee stopped she said "I'm sorry."

"When I was 7 my dad went off to fight in the war in Afghanistan. He visited us during the summer and gave me this knife. He told me to stay strong, and when this blade broke, to then I was allowed to put my life aside and mourn his loss. He was alive then of course. He went back to war. I turned 8, and he died." I paused, looking at the army knife that was rusting. "It's been 11 years and this blade has not broken. I never clean it. I wait for the day it breaks, and the day it does I had planned to go to Afghanistan, and bury it with him. To show him I listened." I paused, biting my lip again, holding back tears, though one still trickled down my cheek. "I guess I won't be able to do that now, will I?" I whispered.

I looked Lee in the eye. "I'm not going to get off this island, am I, Lee?"

I smiled. The thought of having to live here for the rest of my life saddened me. There were so many things I wanted to do with my life, all stripped away. The smiled faded and I slumped slightly. I looked at Lee, I couldn't tell if he was happy I was here or not, but I was happy he was. I smoothed my hand over my hair and nodded at him. "Thank you." I said. "For everything you've done for me and will do. I can help make my house, just tell me what to do and I'm on it." I smiled, even though my heart was broken inside.
