Dennis, or should I say our new Captain, started ordering everyone around immediately. "Sam and James, go collect firewood. And if you happen to see something we could eat, get it as well." Sam nodded and walked off James right on her trail. "Richard and Jeremy, go see if you can get anything that washed up on shore from the ship. Barrels, wood, weapons, even tools and silverware." Richard nodded and started walking twords the beach. Dennis looked at Jeremy, who was just staring at the ground. "Jeremy!" Dennis yelled, stomping over to him. Jeremy finally looked up it was clear he had been crying. "He just lost his best friend. Cut him some slack." Cheri said, standing next to Jeremy. Dennis growled. "The quicker we work, the quicker we can get outta here. If he's going to be useless, he might as well be dead. " Dennis held up his pistol. My eyes shot wide as I watched Dennis put the barrel against Jeremy's forehead. "What the hell are you doing?!" Cheri yelled, slapping the gun away. Dennis grabbed Cheri by the neck and shoved her against the palm tree that they were under. "Let her go. I'm going." Jeremy finally spoke, looking dead into the eyes of Dennis. Dennis let go of Cheri, and she dropped to the ground gasping. Jeremy walked to the beach. Cheri glared at Dennis, who was walking away. "Are you ok?" I asked. I got up and went over to Cheri. I held my hand out. She grabbed it, and I lifted her. She gave me a weak smile. "Hey, you two start building a fireplace and help me build shelters. We can't stay out in the cold like this" Dennis said. We made our way over to the far flat grassy area that w n between the beach and the jungle.

After a hard session of gathering thick branches and fallen lo, s we had two huts built. "Y/ n go see where Sam and James went off to. Cheri help me set up the last hut." I was happy to finally get away from Denn, s but I felt bad I had to leave Cheri with him. I gave the girl a sympathetic look as I waved bye and went into the woods.

" I hate walking through this place." I said to myself as I pushed a branch outta the way to immediately get hit in the face with a large leaf for the fifth time. "Ugh! WHERE ARE THEY! I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR ALMOST 15 MINUTES!" I thought. Then I heard giggling as I started to round a big jungle tree. I walk over to see Sam and James making out a few feet away. Sam was stuffing her tongue down James throat. It looked like they were trying to swallow each other. "EWWWWWW! WHAT THE FUCK?! I need to disinfect my eyes! We haven't been out here long enough for you to be eating each other." I told them, laughing my ass off. Sam pushed James away. "Y/n it's not what it looks like..." I raised an eyebrow. "Ok it is what it looks like but." She smiled awkwardly. "Did you even get the wood?" I asked. "Oh she got the wood alright" James smirked. "JAMES" Sam shouted. I laughed so hard my sides started to hurt. Sam was red in the face. "Yes we got the wood.For the fire" she added. James snickered. "Let's head back" Sam said going ahead of us. We followed quietly laughing. Back at our campsite Jeremy sat on a log near the fire. His clothes were soaked. His eyes still filled with sadness. He just stared at the dancing flames. Cheri was beside him leaning her head on his shoulder. Richard was talking to Dennis a little way by the beach. Bridgett was sleeping in a shelter on a bed of leaves. "Bridgett and I will be in one hut. Richard and Cheri. James and Sam. Y/n and Jeremy. Any questions?..." Dennis said. I raised my hand a bit. "I don't care. Get to sleep, it's going to be hell tomorrow". And with that we all picked out our tents and went in except for Jeremy. I was about to go in but I didn't want him to be alone. I say beside him. A few moments past before he finally spoke. "Ya know Benny loved ya. He always asked how you were doin. He might of not looked it but he was a nice guy. Always wanted to make people laugh. He told me one of the best days of his life was when he was finally able to make ya laugh with one of his jokes." Jeremy gave a weak smile still staring into the fire. I felt bad. Here I thought he was just another one of those sea dogs who hopped from person to person. "He didn't know how to tell you he loved you. He would always flirt trying to get some affection out of it. He felt so happy when you blushed. He said seeing ya red in the face always made his day better. " Jeremy looked at me. "I'm telling you this because he never got too. He loved you. " Tears pricked my eyes as I hugged Jeremy silently crying into his shoulder. That seems to break him too as I started to hear sobs.

We had gone to bed almost an hour later. Jeremy was fast asleep. I stared up at the roof of our hut. Between the leaves I could see rays if moonlight. I signed. Then I started to hear it. The echoing melody from before. A deep voice full of emotions. My body seems to move by itself. I quietly walked out of the shelter and started twords the beach. Once reaching the shore the melody stopped. I could move freely again and I looked around. All I saw was ocean and rocks. "Hey there again Pet." I heard the smooth voice. I finally saw him he was on a rock s good ways away from the shore. I glared at him. "Don't give me that look I warned you didn't I?" He laughed. His laugh sent shivers down my spine. Now that he was out of the water I could see him fully. He was large. Maybe 6,11 if he had legs. "You killed my friends" I said crossing my arms. "Those weren't your friends as much as they were your capters. You said it yourself you hated Benny he was a pig who always flirted with you"
"But I -"
"Lawny was an attention seeking whore"
"That doesn't- "
"And the captain dont get me started. He tasted so disgusting even my pet shark refused to eat him."
"You have a pet shark? Wait no- you still killed my friends. I agree that what I said but they didn't deserve to die. Now we are stranded because of you. And the worst part-" "Silence" Walden's voice echoed. And I immediately shut up. My body became stiff. " I killed those people because they were in my territory. Your kind is nothing but a disease. You take what you want. Kill what you want and half of the time it's for nothing. What are you even after? Fame? Money? Power? I heard you and that Captain talking about some "treasure". What is it?" He asked glaring at me. My body was mine again and fell to the ground. "That mind shit hurts!" I gasp. "It only hurts when I'm pissed off. And trust me it gets worse when I'm mad. Now answer my question."
I took a breathe. "This innkeeper gave captain a riddle. The riddle was supposed to lead us to a treasure. We don't know what it is but they said it could give the holder great power." Walden gave me a questioning look. "What was the riddle?"
"Much like the fish that swim in the sea. There at the bottom of a hook is where I will be" I resited.
"And there I shall be if you just take a look but the spell cannot be broken by a book.
To break the spell you need a heart of gold and then you'll have the relic of old" Walden said.
"What?"
"That is the full riddle. Y/n do not go looking for that treasure. There's a reason all those people died looking for it." I nodded. "So how is your new life. Isn't freedom great?" Walden smirked. I could tell he was being sarcastic. "This isn't freedom we're stuck on an island." I responded. Walden looked over to where our campsite was. "And your still a pet."
"Fuck you. You still killed my friends!"
"You hit me with a paddle" he growled.
"Because you tried to eat Richard!" I huffed. We both sat in a comfortable silence for a moment. "I found something you might want back" he said holding up my sketchbook. "Did he see my drawing of him!?" My cheeks went red. "Uh yah plz give me that. You haven't looked in it have yoooou?" I asked embarrassed. "Well not all of it. I must say you draw me well" he smirked throwing the book on the shore. He must have some inhumane strength to throw that far. "Good night y/n. I'll see how you're doing tomorrow. Maybe you can help me get you guys shit outta my territory." He said smacking a barrel with his tail. He drives in the water and he's gone. He doesn't want to kill me? Why? Maybe because he sees me as a pet. Someone who is useless. He knows I don't pose a threat not like the others anyway
I yawned and started to walk back to camp.
