Dream Vacation...Or Is It?

Chapter 3

A wave crashed on top of me, startling me awake. I scurried backwards on my hands and feet, a panicked look on my face. My head swiveled back and forth as I tried to determined where the heck I was. I was on a large beach on what seemed to be an island. Behind me was a forest clearly full of a ton of animals.

Down the beach, Cody was starting to stir, but I couldn't see Jacob. Our lugage was scattered around the beach. I looked around, trying to find the boat, but it was no where to be seen. I slowly crawled over to where Cody was,since he was the closest. I shook his shoulder trying to wake him up.

"Cody, Cody, please get up." I said quietly, fear clear in my voice.

'Wha'?" Cody muttered, blinking his eyes open.

"I think the ship wrecked, but I cant find anyone else." 

The news woke him up. Cody bolted into a sitting position. "Are you sure? Where's Jacob?" He asking locking his gaze.

"I-I don't know. I couldn't find him. What if we're stuck here, forever?" Tears were forming in my eyes and my voice started to crack.

Cody wrapped his arms around me in a hug. "Hey, its gonna be okay, Mags. We'll find Jacob, and then we'll get off this island."

"You sure?'I asked wiping away my tears.

"Positive. Now come on, lets go find him." Cody stood up then pulled me to my feet. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Cody and I had grabbed our stuff and headed down the beach. We walked slowly looking back and forth. We had been walking for at least half an hour when  I sighed frustratedly, and plopped onto the ground.

"This is pointless. We aren't going to find him and no one will find us," I said, wrapping my arms around my knees.

"Hey, don't be like that. We're going to get off this island, I promise." Cody said looking down at me.

"How can you be so sure?"

"Just trust me on this one. Now sitting here is going to help anyone. So you can either come along nicely or I'll carry you along. Your choice."

"Fine, lets keep looking. We still have like 12 hours till the sunsets anyways." I said standing up and looking up at the sun. I picked up my things and started walking.

"How do you know that?" Cody asked walking besides me.

"Didn't you pay attention any of the gazillion times we went to camp? Or did you just forget after only like 2 months?"

Every month at my church, the youth group would either go to a camp or on a mission trip. It alternated every other month. Than once a year they would take us to a different country as a little thank you present. It was pretty awesome. Just a random bit of information that might help you, or I just wasted you time.

[Maggie, you babbling again.]

For once, Cody's right. I'll just shut up and get on with the stories.

"Oh that right. I remember now," Cody said, as we continued to search the beach.

"Sure you do," I said sarcastically, squinting my eyes at something in the distance.

I could have sworn I saw some one there. And as it turns out I did. As we got closer, I could make out a guy, probably around 5'10. He had messy brown hair that was spiked up in the front, like the guy who plays Peter Parker in the Amazing Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield, yeah him. If you don't know what I'm taking about, go Google it. He wore shorts, T-shirt, and sandals. I looked like he was searching the beach for something.

We were about I'd say, 100 yards away when I recognized him. A huge smile lit up my face. I was surprised that I noticed before Cody. I dropped all my things and ran as fast as I could towards him. Cody, being his observative self, still didn't notice a things. Not even after I dropped everything.

So I ran towards the guy ahead of me smiling like a maniac. When I was close enough, I tackle hugged him. We both fell to the ground. When he saw me a smile lit up his face.

"Aaron, you alive! I cant believe you're alive!" I said still hugging him.

"Hey, goofball. What are you doing here?" Aaron asked as if we had just ran into each other at the movies.

"Oh, you know, just hanging out." I stood up and wiped the sand off my clothes.

"So how did you get here?" He asked standing up also.

"Well, Cody, Jacob, and I where on a cruise. We went to bed then poof, woke up here."

Aaron nodded,"So where are they?"

"Cody is over there, being an idiot" I said pointing to him, as he just wandered around, still not noticing that I was gone. Or the fact that he brother was here. "And Jacob, well, he's missing. We havent seen him since we got here."

"He never was a very bright kid," He said smiling at me.  

"Why no he's not." I said smiling back at him. "Cody! Get over here!" I yelled.

Cody turned towards us, and his jaw dropped open at the site of his brother. He of course came running to us. The two of them hugged quickly. Cody started to ask a bunch of questions but Aaron stopped him.

"I'll tell you guys everything later. Right now, get your thing and follow me. I'll intrduce you to the rest of us." Aaron said.

We grabbed our things and walked right behind him. 

I cant believe hes alive! We found him. We finally found me. I smiled at this thought, but it slowly faded. But he's stuck here, just like us. Just like the others.
