Stranded...

Chapter 4.

Sapphire's POV :

I was in a beautiful place. I was floating on clouds, with butterflies and rainbows and unicorns floating with me. Fairies were dancing and leprachauns burst in and started to steal the show. I giggled eccentrically, and started dancing too. Flowers started sprouting from the clouds and singing a song I was familiar with, but couldn't remember fully. This was really fun. 

All of a sudden, James appeared and started to drag me away from the beautiful place. 

"Let me go, James! You can't take this away from me too!" I screamed in his ear.

He seem unnerved by my reaction, and continued to pull me away.

"You need to learn your lesson, missy" ,  He smirked. 

"What lesson?! James let me go now !" 

"If thats what you want, Sapphire" 

He let go off my arm, and I fell through the clouds ..

down 

Into a black tunnel of misery, darkness, and despair..

********************************

"NOOOOOOOOO , SOMEONE .. HELP MEEEEE !!!!" 

I sat up in a panic , opening my eyes to a whole load of sand and water. 

Oh my God! Stupid dream..nearly scared me to death. Why the hell was I dreaming about that In the first place? Oh Yeah.. James threw me off the cruise ship. Shit !! Everything was rushing back to me quickly , but I soon felt woozy underneath the sun. 

Wait..the sun? 

Lethargically , I picked my aching body up and stared at the beach I was currently standing in. Why was I on a beach? I remember being in the sea , but I guess I probably passed out or something. Was I carried off by the waves, and then dumped on some Island? Or maybe someone rescued me, and I'm sunbathing in Hawaii? Gah, too many questions - not enough answers. 

The place I was in, was unfamiliar. I guess It looked like your average beach that would pop up on google images. But considering I've been to alot of Island's in the Carribean , this one was definitely not on my list of past holidays. It was too clean, like there was not many people here. I couldn't hear anything too , apart from the crash of the waves down by the ocean. 

Damn, was this some sort of private Island ?! I was kinda hoping for a mini Ibiza , If you get me.

A large pink square diverted my attention , my suitcase! 

Rushing forwards through the sand, I bounded towards my suitcase and finally reached it, on the edge of tears. It was filthy , grimy , covered in seaweed and god-knows what else but it had all my things in it! During my short time on the ship, I was debating whether to head back home when we reached the first stop so I had my suitcase packed, just in case.

I knew it had my cellphone , laptop , extra food and money and all my clothes ; I basically had all my necessities in this one bag. I unzipped the case, opened the lid and peered excitedly inside. 

Ruined. Everything was ruined. My clothes were soaking wet, and covered in crap. My cellphone and Laptop had been drenched entirely in water and were now completely dead. I thought that the Iphone 4 was meant to survive anything! Evidently, not water. Even last weeks Hot Pink Jimmy Choos were destroyed. And my limited edition Gucci dress!  The only thing that was not covered in water and sand was the food that was packed in sealed plastic containers. My eyes bunched up and the next thing I knew, I was crying uncontrollably. Who needs fucking food?! I wanted my Jimmy Choos back!! 

"This is possibly the shittiest day , of all shitty days in my life! " I shouted at no-one in particular. My eyes were probably all red and puffy , But I didn't give a damn. I was all alone. It was all James' fault. 

Hang on , was I all alone? 

Getting up , I shook of the sand that covered my body and took off my top , so I was left with my bikini and denim shorts. God, it was boiling here. I loped through the sand , peering through the palm trees in case there was anyone there. Maybe there is a hotel or something , or If it was a Private Island it could have a mansion. Perhaps the owners were still vacationing. I could ask to use a phone, call my dad, and he would jet out to rescue me. Easy. Then I could have James arrested for attempted murder and everything would be fine as ..er ..um.. something really fine. Like a pencil.

"Cause every little thing , is gonna be alright..." I sang to myself. Bob Marley really does put me in a good mood. I backflipped across the sand and landed lightly on my feet. Maybe a really good mood. 

"Woah"

I swung my head around in surprise. I didn't utter a single word. That was someone else, definitely. Suddenly, one of the trees shook slightly and a mop of brown hair dissappeared quickly in between the shadows. I wasn't about to let the only human I've seen so far run away. Especially after seeing me sing and do a backflip, that was pretty embarressing. 

I sprinted through the trees, following the path that the person had taken. I wasn't wearing any shoes , and broken branches on the ground were beginning to hurt my feet but I soon forgot about the pain and ran on. The brown hair was gliding in between the trees, trying to make me lose him. But I wasn't going to give up easily. 

"Hey you, get back here" I yelled at the person. 

The person ignored me, and continued on running. What was wrong with them? Clearly I looked like a girl that had just been thrown off a ship, cast away, losing her most prized possessions and needed some help ; But this maniac thought it was okay to send me on a wild goose chase too?! 

Finally, I reached a clearing but by that time, I ran out of breath and the person ran away somewhere. Or did they just...

I stopped and looked up. In front of me was a house. But it wasn't a house that I would see casually on my way through my neighborhood back home. This house..was made entirely of trees. Not wood that had been carefully filed away and looked remodelled. It was actual trees. It was quite literally a Tree-House. My mouth formed an 'O' and I was shocked. It looked amazing. 

**A/N : If you have trouble trying to picture this "tree house" I had conjured in my head, I attached a picture of what it  looked like. In my head, that is. But I just found that picture on google, so its the closest I could get :D Now, Back to the story**

The person must be in this house, I was sure of it. I mean, where else could they be ? I had just basically ran the entire length of the jungle and saw nothing that looked like accommodation. Feeling an array of nerves, I set a foot forward - walking towards the house. What if the house contained a family of hungry cannibals, and I was walking myself to my own death? Gah, I ask myself way too many questions. They are probably just a 50 year old loving couple , who made themselves a tree-house to be eco-friendly and this is their holiday resort. But that still doesn't explain why the person was running away from me. 

Only one way to find out.

I climbed up the wooden steps, that led towards the only door in front, on the top floor. Anticipation flooded through me and I sighed nervously, scared of what was on the other side. I reached my hand out and pushed open the wooden door. 

Let me tell you one thing. I did not expect to be held at gunpoint by 3 guns , held by 3 of the most good-looking guys I had ever seen.
