The tree house was one of the greatest gifts ever I thought leaning against a wall in the tree house. It was totally perfect compared to living out in the sand or a patch of leaves. I felt like a normal teenager but I was scared because the fireworks had been going off more recently. Reila climbed up the ladder looking alarmed. Come with me Felixit. We have very bad news and there are new strangers on the island. They blasted the alarms with catapults, hurry we must stop them!"
Reila's P.O.V
There was some pretty bad news. We had new strangers on the island and we had no idea who they were. We had to hurry fast to stop them. Crap this was badder then I had thought thinking to myself once again. One of the workers/men had told me that they had to knock down the island to build a mall. They were going to create a new town also and start a new village or a new place/resort people could travel to.
I hurried out of the tree house jumping down as my rags shook me up and down. "Felixit, guard the main land while I try and set up some of the same traps. I think that they were badly damaged when they fired those blasted catapults at them but you know how good I'm at restoring broken things, HURRY!" Felixit hurried off jogging as her braclets jangled up and down her arms. I saw her blonde hair fly behind her as she ran for her life. This was not good I thought as I ran to the south part of the isle. I stopped short finding broken pieces, and scraps of the broken traps. "Why do you IDIOTS KEEP BREAKING THE TRAPS!!"
My small hands inter-weaved through the scraps binding them together was some tree sap. Good, I fixed the sling rope I thought patting myself on the back. This handy tool could grab people's ankles and hoist them high up in a net. Then they would be left there sitting in this net dangling from a tree. Boo yah! My black hair in cased me in a shadow as I worked on the traps fixing them and testing them. The catapults were still being launched and I could hear Felixit screaming from the other end of the island. "Wow, I guess she can yell louder than I thought" chuckling. I finished the traps just in time as a worried Felixit came running up to me.
Felixit's P.O.V
I looked around and finally saw Reila. It looked as though she was just finishing up the last trap. A slingshot I thought impressed. "Look, I stalled the workers but then they got annoyed and shoved me face first into the sand I said scraping the muck from my hair. Grr, those idiots can be soo annoying I thought shivering. But that's not the point... They told me that we had an hour to "pack" and get off this island before they destroy it all and turn into a mall. So look, I don't know exactly what to do right not Reila, but if we don't stop them they will destroy us with the island. A tear slid down my cheek running down my rags and dripping wet liquid onto the forest ground. I slid down onto my knees kissing the ground and resting my head on the tears I had just cried.
I for one did NOT wanna lost this island. I had grown up here with this magnificent island along with Reila and all of the plants and animals. It was the only precious thing in my life besides Reila and Lenny. I lifted my head my blonde hair just hanging there as my blue eyes clouded up. Just then Reila looked at me sighing as a tear of her own slid down her cheek. She looked away. I was even more depressed looking at my best friend crying. Reila hardly EVER cried and she didn't like to but I think she loved this island even more than I could imagine. She was a little bit older than me and she had spent longer years her so it was more like her living forest of family and friends then just a dumb isle. I put my hands to my heart gulping in fresh air as Lenny came over a sad look on his face.
I picked myself off up the ground and looked at him confused. Dogs usually don't look bad unless they giving you a warning sign or trying to tell you something. He ran away looking back at me and Reila to follow him.
"Let's go Felixit. If we don't go now something worse could happen and like you said... those workers really will kill us with this island if we don't get off in time, but we have to convince them to stop". She hurried after Lenny leaving me in the dust as they both whipped through the forest. Reila was turning into a dark black dot before my very own eyes. I was confused for a second but then I got serious again letting myself smile. She really was like a sister.
I got moving and I caught up with them as we hit the mainland. The guys were already starting to demolish the trees and I could see them starting to wipe down the part me and Reila called "The Hangout". I was ashamed but I wasn't really sure if we could do anything...
***
An hour passed as Reila held me back. I couldn't stop crying as those damned workers worked on cutting down our forest. Reila loosened her grip on me as they got to the part where she built my tree house... I broke free as she dropped to the ground sobbing her eyes out. Her greenish eye's were a dark green and she sincerely looked very fragile and breakable. I chased after the bulldozer and kicked the shit piece of metal. "HEY LISTEN YOU IDOT STOP CUTTING DOWN OUR FOREST BEFORE I FRICKIN KICK YOUR ASS AND TEAR YOU OFF THIS RESTRICTED AREA". He looked down on me shaking his head and sighing.
He got off his lazy piece of ass and he looked at me sighing again. The guy simply jumped out of the thing as he pretty much shook his butt trying to make me seem small and useless. "Well little lady we have a warrant that said that we could tear this down and make a strip mall. If your really against that then go talk to the government because we have very SPECIAL permission". He smiled at me honestly making me hate him all the more. "GO..TO...HELL!!" I shouted at him and he got very pissed and slapped me. I started at him in astonishment. "NOW THAT IS AGAINST THE LAW!!" I kicked him in the place where it stings most as he tumbled over giving me the finger. "Well, fuck you I said kicking him". I pulled out my own warrant straight from my pocket waving it over his face.
"Well you do have a warrant" he said hissing at me his voice like a scary doll. He scanned it over like 3 times before laughing and shoving it back to me. "It's invalid he said laughing some more. This thing was made in 1880 and it's the year of 2000. It only last for ten years sweetheart, sorry to break your plans. But, I'll make you a deal he said smiling. I'll give you a month to get another licensed warrant to protect this "island thingy" and then you can have this stupid place. For then my crew will stop and you can live here. Adios, good LUCK!" he shouted in my face waggling his butt at me again as he jogged off.
I sighed in relief as he told me that they were stopping. Well, now I can go tell Reila I thought. Felixit sprinted back to the mainland as she saw a drowning Reila. She saw her hand go up one last time as she sunk into the ocean. "NO, Reila!!!" I dove into the freezing water as Reila drifted downwards looking pale. I grabbed her hand yanking her back up towards surface. We hit the the top just in time as Reila slumped in my arms." REILA, REILA!!" I pumped air back into her chest as she spit up water. She choked for a few seconds before her eyes fluttered open and she stared wide eyed at me. "Do you know how close that was I said instantly scolding her. We can't go drowning off just because of some asshole workers" I said immediately charged up with fury and vengeance. I hugged her as she weakly patted my back smiling.
"Your really an amazing friend saving me like that Felixit. Your really an amazing person in general but I really thought without you and the island there's really no way I can live.." She hugged me this time making me weep tears of joy. She really got me emotional because she really touched my heart with words like that. "Your so loving Reila, and I love you a lot like a sister would. I don't know what I would do without you" I said. I smiled lovingly into the sunset as Lenny came over and licked us both. Felixit swam back to shore carrying Reila in her arms as they lay down on the sand and watched the sun set, almost like it was congratulating them on being friends, and accomplishing their main goal. Saving the island. For now...
