A Step Into Space

Day 6

"Oh my goodness." Screamed Scarlet.

"Why did you look here!"

"You told me you'd be in the garden. You went to completely different location, was hiding behind a curtain with somebody who according to what you told me doesn't even exist!" I screamed in Scarlet's face.

"You have some explaining to do Scarlet." Said "Liam".

"Who are you?!" I asked.

"I'm a guy who was sent here to "save" Scarlet. Though it didn't end that way. The space ship crash landed, like yours John." Said Liam.

"And you Scarlet." I said.

"Well he's been here for four months. I did originally go to the garden. Though Liam the came to me and I had to hide him other wise I figured you'd think all bad things of me. Here was the first place I could think of. I had to hide him quickly I'm sorry ok." By then Scarlet was bawling. Liam was on the floor comforting her. I stormed out of the room.

I ran to my guest room and flopped on the bed. I dreamed of anything better then this. I fell asleep.

*Dreams*

I wish I was home. I hate living here. Scarlet lied to me. I should abandon her. Besides she has Liam. Why does she need me. I should secretly make a space ship and fly home. Or go live on the island until the ship is ready. Then all of a sudden lava was washing all over me. I was burning. I'm on fire.

I woke up in a pool of sweat and ran to the bathroom. My face was all sweaty. I sat on the toilet and cried. After crying for an hour, I got dressed and used the bathroom. I walked back to my room and neatly made the bed. I made homemade cinnamon buns and ate one. I left the rest on the counter with a snarky note saying.

Didn't use your cinnamon buns in a can.

I went to the workshop and started on my plans. I built for day after day, not stoping to eat. I just worked until it was done. I spent months in that workshop. I just ignored Scarlet and Liam. After building the ship, I went to my room and slept for at least a week. Then after I spent at least a day eating. I mean I was completely starving. No judging.

I spent weeks and nights preparing for my journey, ignoring Scarlet and Liam. I brushed Scarlet off every time she tried to talk to me. I would just walk away. All I wanted was to get off the rock, this prison cell, this horror movie. I would go to bed at night and have nightmares that I was burning.

Two weeks later I was prepared and decided to say goodbye to Scarlet and Liam. I coldly said goodbye. They hugged me and asked me to explain how the ship worked. I showed them quickly. I then told them I would check to see if it was safe for me to takeoff. I walked to the door and checked the hand. No lava. I stepped out

Scarlet's P.O.V.

The lava hit John, sweeping him away burning him to crisp. I screamed as I saw John swept away in the stream of lava. I started to bawl as Liam shut the door. I ran to my room and and flopped on the bed and continued to cry. I couldn't erase the image of him being swept away.

I woke up hours later and went to the bathroom, wiping sweat off my face. I got in some black clothes, mourning over John. I couldn't forget him, but decided to use what he had left me to get off this planet.

A/N: Plot twist. I'm thinking of maybe ending the book in couple chapters and writing a sequel.
