Washed Away

Hellhounds

It's been about a month and we've settled ourselves on the island. We have our daily routine and are used to living here. In the past month we've finally made a signal fire and an actual bathroom, except with leaves instead of toilet paper. I've taught them about medical plants and I've trained with Lucas a lot and he's gotten stronger. We've even had a few demon encounters that we easily took down together. We've made a schedule for what jobs we do everyday and one of which is lookout for ships, we haven't seen any... Johnny's leg healed fully. I've gotten more comfortable with everyone and I've begun to sing to them during our meals. Everyday we have morning exercises to keep our strength up and Erwin has begun to build some muscle. I've learned that Shane has astraphobia, meaning he's scared of thunder and lightning. We've also discovered an area full of quicksand, which Johnny got stuck in... don't worry we saved him in time... We've learned a lot about each other, things that most people might not want to know... There's been a lot of bathing incidents too... The boys' hair have all grown pretty long as well, it's all in front of their eyes now.

...
I wake up and get a splitting headache. (Too much energy... The... T-the hellhounds are here!) I burst out of my hut. Just my luck everyone is already up. They all stare at me confused by my sudden outburst. Lucas stares at me worriedly. I walk up and grab his arm.

"Come with me," I say pulling him after me.

"Got it," he responds without a thought about it.

"What about us?" Johnny asks.

I look at Lucas worriedly hoping he would know what I thinking.

{No! I didn't tell them anything! About us or the hellhounds!} he tells me.

I give a sigh of relief. "You stay here."

"You just want some alone time together," Shane says smugly obviously back to normal.

"Think what you want!" I snap and storm off, while gripping Lucas' arm, and head towards the lagoon. Along the way I put a force field around the path we take.

...
Once we arrive at the lagoon I release his arm.

"Did you create a force field along the path we took?" Lucas asks.

"I did indeed. Now combine yours with mine and surround the lagoon and grove completely."

"Got it, Princess. I mean I am your Prince."

I roll my eyes causing him to laugh. We stand back to back lifting our arms up combining our powers to create a giant strong force field. When we finish we turn towards each other.

"Do you feel them coming?" I ask.

"It would be strange if I didn't," Lucas says.

"We need to find them before anyone gets hurt."

"Agreed."

"I can't believe we haven't found a ship yet," I say.

"You know I think even if we did we wouldn't be found."

"Why?" I ask.

"I believe that this island is a place to banish creatures like the hellhounds, meaning there's a magical barrier around this island that doesn't allow humans in."

"Then how did the guys get here?"

"Maybe because of us?"

I realize how and smack my head in realization. "It's because of my bubbles."

"Bubbles?"

"I surrounded each of you in protection bubbles. You know so nobody would get hurt."
