The Wind Calls

Chapter 2

Maya stared at the tree in wonder. There were big, red mushrooms diagonally leading up to the top. Perfect treehouse location. Maya jumped on the bouncy mushrooms, all the way onto the top. It was deep enough and even had some apples beside it. Maya happily munched on one and saved the rest for later. The sun was setting. Maya got out her bed cover and tied the corners to 4 branches. It stuck on good. Maya yawned and pulled her blanket over her. Tomorrow, she would upgrade the treehouse and find that boy.

The masked boy took off his mask and rubbed his face. He stared at the spear and gripped it. That girl... He shook the thought out of his mind and threw the spear into his loot pile. He just needed some more wood and he could go. But why was a girl doing on this island and who is she?

Maya woke up to find the sun peeking through the leaves. If she wanted to sleep late and inside shelter, she would have to cover things up. She got to work. She found sticks and taped them together with a piece of long grass. into a plank. She attached it to some branch above her and tied it together with a thick piece of grass. She did the same to her sides, cutting a rectangle on one with her knife and put it like a door with above the first mushroom. Now she could nearly stand up and had space and protection from predators. Then, to camouflage, she added branches over her little spot

All that work had gotten her splinters, so she took a rest. She went jogging and finding some berries. After not much luck, she went back. A deafening sound came out of somewhere. Maya looked around. Suddenly, light came on in the distance. Maya's heart skipped a beat. Light meant people (or the sun or moon) and it was her best chance of getting home.  She went and hid behind a bush. Her eyes then adjusted to the light and did not believe what she was seeing. Her hands went up to her mouth.
