Brightest Nights [COMPLETED]

Chapter 3 - Confidence

His feet had a light and tickly substance running between the gaps in his toes. Jay didnt understand what it was but he could see its dusty gold colour as he looked down through the clear blue waters. Jay forced himself through the waters every movement getting easier and easier. The water went from being up to his waist and now it was just above his ankles. He carried on looking round this incredibly small island which at the same time it felt huge? Jay saw something a peachy colour with white streaks running through it he picked it up and admired its beauty. It was a seashell so colourful and beautiful it distracted him from his hunger for a little while. This little seashell meant something to him so he kept it because it reminded him about travelling. A seashell gets lost on its journey's yet it always finds a nice beach in the end.

Jay's stomach was aching and he was in luck of finding something here surely? Not long after Jay found a tree with something brown and furry shaped like a ball hanging from the branch. Jay couldnt tell if it was food or not but he knew there was only one way to find out so he confidently climbed the tree with hope in sight. When he reached the top he grabbed the brown and furry shaped ball but he dropped it and it smashed open. Curious, he jumped off the tree as quick as he could and dipped his tongue into the white liquid inside it. Jay's mind was freaking out about all the different flavours he could taste. Finally he had food!

Luckily for Jay there was a dangerous storm on the island causing one of the trees to fall down and smash into pieces so that meant he had a source for fire. Next to him something glistened as if it was calling him and it made Jay so happy as he ran to see and discover what it was. He brushed the sand off it lightly incase this object was priceless but to his surprise it was a piece of flint and a piece of steel. He felt like the luckiest boy in the whole world and he was very greatful for this but there is still one thing he needs. A bed!

Now it was starting to get dark Jay thought he better get the campfire going he attempted many times before it eventually set the wood ablaze. He watched every flicker as the fire danced in the wind swaying from side to side gracefully. One of the flickers was bigger than the rest and right in the middle of this flame another vision had appeared in the blink of an eye. This silhouette of a figure was dancing with the fire and everywhere this person walked there was happiness. It was a woman infact, her hair was blowing in the wind elegantly and peacefully.

Jay needed rest for the night and chose to sleep instead of watch the magical and lyrical movements of the fire. He began to feel like this place was his long lost 2nd home and he knew somehow he was safe.
