So little recap over here...
I get taken away from my Home cuz of a giant tornado.
I wake up on this weird island and THEN...
This bunny turns into...something and attacks me.
We got everything up to here? Ok back to the story now.

I leaped out for my life as the monster launched straight at me. With ought thinking, I picked up something from the ground. Something sharp. A piece of broken glass. But then I realised I was trapped on the end of the island. There was not much choice: either jump of the tip of the island ( witch practically meant hopped to my death ) OR fight the beast with only a piece of glass and knowing that there is 99% chance I will die but at least I know that I died fighting for my life, showing it meant a lot to me. The 'terrifying-Unknown-creature' dashed towards me for another strike as I prepared myself to battle the creature. I have always been unlucky in life, it was a bit hellish to me but getting so unlucky that I'm about to get my life taken away? I mean really? I'm only a sixteen year old girl trying to survive from a bloodthirsty monster that looked as if it hadn't eaten in days! It lunged at me, I held out my piece of glass in front of me with one hand and holding the other in front of me protectively. Not even a second later, I heard a painful, high pitched scream banging in my ears, I gazed down at my hand now covered in some leathery grey liquid. I smelled it. Blood. Urgh. Really? What type of creature has GREY blood? I looked at up to find myself staring straight into the eyes of the twitching creature with the same type of grey liquid covering half of its body. It's eyeballs, now wide open and staring, were absolutely black- not just the irises, but the white as well. They were just like black tunnels. Deep, endless dark, dark tunnels.

"You have done well child." Whispered a rough and quiet voice. Panicked Isabel whirled around with the peice glass in her hand and threw the sharp object straight at where the sound had come from. It would of been a perfect shot, but, the object soared right through the person and landed on the ground. Amazed, Isabel stared straight into the the black tunnels of the beast she had just killed a second ago and back at the person. Standing in front of her was a figure of an incredibly tall human being with a giant black cloak covering his head and his entire body. "You have done very-y well..." He whispered once again. Isabel took a step back. "Wh-who... Who are you?" Isabel demanded gingerly. "Where am I? What is this place? Why I'm I here?" A thousand questions flooded Isabel's mind- she never had the time to think straight since she got here and finally someone was there that could probably help her. "Now, now my child" whispered the man slowly. "One question at a time." Then, he lifted his hood off his head and with that, Isabel sucked in a sharp breath. This man was not human at all. He had the same eyes as the dead 'monster-bunny' and its long stretched-out mouth was stitched together into a oddly creepy smile. Isabel looked once more behind her to look for the dead creature but nothing was left except for a bag. A small brown leathery bag. She looked back at the creature. "If you may be curious, I am a demon ghost, just like the one you killed...well not exactly but, welcome to the land of the dead." He whispered. And with that, he disappeared out of thin air and Izzy was left alone. Alone in the land of the dead.
