~Author's Note~
Hey 3 reads isn't that bad. Let us continue this story though.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I woke up in the water. Surrounded by so many floating bodies that I didn't know what to do. I don't know how I survived or how I even managed to stay afloat but however I did, I'm thankful.
I tried to look for the nearest thing. Like a boat, or anything! I found a very large island. I had no chance of surviving in the ocean so I had no choice but to start swimming towards the island. Maybe there would be someone there willing to help me. Let me know where I am since I have no clue. I honestly, just wish that I was back home. That I was somewhere where there were familiar surroundings, and familiar faces, not dead floating bodies.
I swam near the island and quickly starting to drink the water from the ocean. Now at this time, I had no clue that ocean water just makes you thirstier considering the fact that I dropped out of school. I drank and drank and drank until I started to feel even thirstier and I then stopped drinking. I started to feel hazy and hot and I just felt completely out of it. All of a sudden, I saw a puma in the corner of my eye. Now I remind you, I was totally out of it and at the same time I probably would end up dying by a puma. This was situation that I don't think I would be able to escape.
Then, the puma started sprinting towards me and jumped onto me as I fell towards the ground. I got back on my feet as quick as possible and started to run into the jungle. Believe me, it was the hardest thing to do. I repeatedly bumped into trees and tripped and eventually the puma got me. It jumped onto me again as I fell onto the ground and then it happened. The puma started to bite my leg. Now at first I had no clue but then slowly and slowly I started to feel the pain. I was not going to die today so I grabbed the nearest stick and with all of my might I stabbed the puma. It didn't go in deep enough so I stabbed the puma again, and again, and again until it stopped biting on my leg. I started to get up until I realized that my right leg was bleeding so much that if I didn't stop it from bleeding, I would die soon enough. I decided to take a big leaf that was on the floor and wrap it over the bite and tied it very tight so that I wouldn't bleed too much. There was no peroxide or anything and like I said before, I dropped out of school so I was pretty much alone for this. It was either I committed suicide, or I look for whatever else wanted to kill me.
I limped and limped further into the jungle as I noticed that the sun was setting. I had to climb onto a tree and tie myself with something but all there was were vines, vines and more vines. Might as well. But how am I supposed to get to the top of the tree with this throbbing leg?
I decided that I had to go with the pain unless I wanted to be attacked by another puma and not survive again. I climbed the tree and eventually made it to where I thought no puma or any other animal could harm me. I found the nearest vine and secured myself tightly and drifted off into a deep deep sleep.

What. In. The. Actual. Hell. I wake up to see that I'm surrounded by nothing but animals and more animals. I don't even know what those animals are called! I need to get down and I need to go find something in this jungle to eat because this salt water is still having an effect on me and I don't think I can go any longer without food. So, I took a branch from the tree and threw it towards a tree with a lot of leaves so that it would make a lot of noise and distract the animals. Well, it did and I jumped off that tree. The only downside was the fact that I forgot about my bruised leg and I shouted in pain. Then, all of the animals turned towards me and within a split second, they were all chasing me. I tried to get up and run but it was not happening. I knew that if I kept trying to run, they would just run me over and I would eventually be eaten up by a bunch of animals. So, I tried to think smart even though that wasn't necessarily possible, and I started to run, well limp. I ran/limped straight and of course the animals followed me. And then, out of no where, I made a quick sharp turn and hid behind a tree and all of the animals, surprisingly still went straight and didn't see me. I sat down, tired and exhausted of living and noticed that my feet were badly bruised and that they were scraped and bleeding.
"No, no, no not again," I silently said as I cried.
I thought that I could do anything on my own. I thought that you could survive on your own once you were 18 without your parents. I thought that you could do whatever you want in life and you would still be fine. I didn't think it was possible to hate life with the passion that I hated it with right now. I didn't think that it was possible for me to get so unlucky and to go through all of this but surprisingly this happened. I just wish that I could hug my mom and tell her I loved her. You never realize how grateful you are until you lose something. At this moment, I wouldn't even say that I'm a girl living. I'm a girl TRYING to live.

What do you think? Let me know. Thanks loves ;* This wasn't as good as chapter 1 and this is not accurate facts. Trust me, I know nothing about life in the jungle but I'm trying. I hope you enjoyed chapter O2 and look out for chapter O3.
