Paralyzed

the raft

we had fallen asleep under the tree last night, once we had all woken up we headed down to there Roger said. it took about twenty minutes because we decided to take our time after wwhat had happened.

we reach the wood. Roger was right, there was a huge pile of wood leaning up agenst the broken rocks of the volcano. there was a small note on the side of the wood, it read.

warning, you wont live

to see tomorrow

leave now

and don't touch my wood!

we stood back in surprise. there didn't seem to be anything wrong with the wood.

"do you think it's safe?" I asked John.

"i'm not sure." he replyed. we walked up towards the pile and lifted a piece of wood up.

"be carefull" i shouted. he brout it back over to where we were standing. we all took a long look at it, checking for anything strange.

"it looks ok." Harry said.

"right, hears the plan. me and Harry are going to take some wood and bring it back to the beach, whist Allison and Abbey go find some rope or some vines, something that will hold our raft together, are we all ok with that?" John said as we gathered around him.

"be carefull with the wood." i said as i took Abbey off to go find what we need. we were walking for about five minutes before Abbey broke the silence.

"Where's daddy?" she asked. this was so hard for me to explane, how can i tell her that she would never see her father again. how could i?

"listen Abbey, you know last night, your daddy went to a special place, but i am afrade you wont be able to see him there and he probily wont come back." i told her. she had a tear in her eye, i had really upset her but there was no other way around it.

"i'm so sorry Abbey." i gave her a big hun to try and cheer her up. i carried her to a small rock and sat her down on it.

i picked her up and headed deeper into the trees, she was still crying, we had found some vines but we needed more.

"Abbey, can you look for some more vines?" i asked her whist showing her the vines that we already had.

"like the ones over there?" she said whist pointing to a pile of vines.

"WOW. how did you spot that. i replyed. i walked towards it but stopped before picking it up.

"wait, this looks like some sort of trap." i stood there staring at it, not looking at what Abbey was doing she ran strate past my and grabbed a handfull of vines.

"Abbey, no." i yelled but to my surprise nothing happened so i picked the rest up and headed back to the beach.

on the way back it had gone really muggy and hot, i turned around and there was a smooth layer of red hot lava following us.

"oww my gosh" i yelled, grabbing Abbey who was singing to herself and running for the beach, i was getting away from it but i didn't stop running untill we reach the beach.

"John, Harry, run, there is lava following us." i shouted at John and Harry.

**HARRY'S P.O.V**

we grabbed the rest of the wood, there was one piece left on the floor, i went to pick it up but it wouldn't come up, so i gave it one more mighty pull but it still wouldn't come.

"hear, John you give it a go." i asked. he cave it a pull but it just wouldn't come. we sat there thinking about what to do.

"i know, there's a rench back at the beach somewhere in the plane wreckage." John said.

"come on then, let's go get it." i replyed. we walked back towards the beach.

we found the plane wreckage and had a look for the wrench

"hear it is." John shouted. we then left the beach and headed back towards the piece of wood was.

we were only about ten meters away from the wood but it was getting really hot and muggy.

"arrrrr, look John." i shouted as i saw red hot lava come spitting out from under the wood. John dropped the wrench and ran for the beach, i followed after him. we ran for about five minutes before reaching the beach.

we had just manage to catch out breath when we heard screeming from down the path we came down, not long after we sat Allison with Abbey in her arms come flying out onto the beach.

**ALLISON'S P.O.V**

"did you see it." i said whist trying to catch my breath.

"yeah, we did." Harry replyed.

"come on, we need to make this raft now, it's coming this way quite fast." i said panicly. we had found a hammer in the wreckage and got to work, it took about half an hour to make, the lava has just making it's way onto the beach.

"come on." John yelled. he war really panicing. we picked it up and ran with it to the water's edge. it had now moved and now was only five meters away.

"quick, onto the raft." Harry said. we climed on trying to tip it over and soak us all. the lava was only about ten centimeters away, we pushed off and after about twenty seconds we heard the lava hit the water.

"made it by seconds." i said whist taking i sigh of relief. the raft was only small but it was the right size for us. but it worked.

so we set off on out long journey across the sea...
