Stranded

      When we escaped from the inside of the facility, I looked back to see what we were actually in. The building was enormous and was decorated with many white and black towers along side them with yellow letters forming "DUP". On the top of the building it says "Department of Unified Protection".
      
        "Wow." I turn around and see Regan gawking at our surroundings, as everyone else is. The building is surrounded by a bunch of palm trees and flowers. The flowers are all the colors of the rainbow, and there are many multicolor birds flying from tree to tree, as if trying to warn us.

      "What is this place?" Julia inquires as she looks at a purple flower intently.

      "Maybe we're all dead and this is a dream." Xander laughs and others laugh with him. Directly in front of us is the rising sun, making us feel at ease for just a moment, but it's enough to make us feel a bit better.

      "Shouldn't we try to find the rest of humanity?" Chris states, and he's right. I half-heartedly laugh and start following him.

     The trip was extremely uneventful compared to the last hour, we walked by an ocelot and that's pretty much the only thing that happened. We kept trudging on for about an hour until we reached the beach. The beach had white sand and the waves were crashing against the rocks. I looked along the beach and saw miles and miles of literally nothing but beach.

        "OW!!!" Julia stumbled over a large rock and Regan chuckled before helping her up. I looked at the Rock more carefully and saw there was writing on it.

     "Xander! Help me lift this up!" I say as I struggle to lift the rock. We get it out and I start to read it aloud.

     "The D.U.P is here to protect anyone stranded on the island. Turn around and walk that way for about two hours, or else- What does that mean?" We all ponder as we began to think as what this could mean. Then I see a flicker of light out of the corner of my eye. I see a person, it's not a normal person, because he's holding some sort of ball of light. He throws it. It comes pummeling towards me. It enlarges around all of us.

I black out.
