The Mysterious Island

Chapter 5: Land For Real

Hail p.o.v.
Once the boy sat up everyone brightened up especially Maple. I'm pretty sure she was missing her little brother especially with Grace and Iain. She looked over to the boy”Hey are you Ok?” she asked him softly “Uhh I-I don't know. Who are you? Where am I?” He said I gave him a quick scan for injuries. He looked kinda like a Latino santa's elf with his pointy ears and unruly black hair “I’m Maple that's Hail, Kai, Grace and Iain and I just found you floating on that board over there” “Wait why are we in a suitcase with everyone else paddling.” oh yeah I was supposed to be paddling. “Oh well we were in a plane crash but only we knew it was crashing so we took supplies and jumped out and now we’re paddling towards that island. Oh by the way what's your name buddy?” “oh i'm Leo. Leo Rod- wait wheres my big sis where's Lily” leo said tears brimming at his eyes. “ I don't know Leo. I only found you” The latino burst into tears. Maple quickly scooped him up. “Shhh it's ok Leo it's ok.” Leo continued to cry so I just turned away awkwardly.Soon we were really close to the island. I noticed Leo had stopped crying so I looked to see him asleep on Maple. I watched as Maple noticed something glowing in the water and scooped it up. When we reached the land Kai and Iain were immediately on the sand. I helped Maple out as she couldn't use her arms and Grace was the last one out. I saw Maple walk over to a tree and then call us over. I gasped as I saw a eagle carved into the wood of the tree. Maple then looked at us“Guys that's the American government seal”
