Dark Lagoon

Strange Waters

Roger remembers waking up to the sound of a female scream and then the lights went off. A weird sensation took the control of his half awake body, as he almost went deaf with a child's sharp cry. He also could swear that he heard someone praying. Did the pilot just said that they were about to land? Roger felt dizzy, how long had he been sleeping? A weird feeling inside of him was saying that he hadn't sleep that much, so they were still far away from their destiny. Everything went black.

Roger's vision was still a blur, he couldn't tell if he was awake or not. He could listen to wave sounds. Little rays of sunshine were becoming clear, along with the image of... An angel? Or was it a mermaid? It was a guy with big brown eyes and a warm smile. He also had dark curls falling towards the small blond under him. Roger suddenly could feel the stranger's hands running through his hair, before stopping at his cheeks and hitting the spot with kindness. The guy was trying to wake him up.

''I told you he was alive, Freddie!'' the man above him screamed, yet his voice sounded peaceful and friendly to Roger's ears.

''Oh, really?''

Then another face appeared to Roger. It was a guy with shorter hair, curious eyes and long teeth. He also had a cute fringe. Roger blinked twice, trying to get up. He managed to sit in the sand with the help of both strangers.

''Are you okay, my dear?'' The newcomer asked with a wide smile across his lips.

Roger didn't answer at first, since he felt a little bit weak. But he could now analyze the guys sitting in front of him. The short haired one was not as tall as his curly haired friend. And Lord. He was wearing nothing but a weird kind of thong, so Roger didn't pay much attention to him. He would rather stare at the first bloke, with his tall, bit muscular and slender body covered by hippie clothes. Wait. What? He opened his mouth, but the only thing he could do was cough.

Strong arms caught Roger when he bent to throw up. It was very fast, the blond couldn't tell when he started vomiting or when he was held by his curly haired angel, who kept holding his gold hair with his hands to avoid making it a mess. When he was done, Roger was so weak that he could easily faint right where he was.

''It will be fine. It's okay.'' The taller man murmured, making Roger wonder how was it possible to someone to have such a sweet and calm voice.

''Wa-ter.'' Roger whispered, almost closing his eyes.

''OH! Excellent! I was beginning to think that maybe he couldn't speak English. I'll get you something to drink in a minute, darling.'' The so called Freddie said, waving his hands and shaking his body in happiness. ''DEACON! Water and food for our guest!'' he screamed, while moving towards some kind of forest?

Blue eyes followed the half naked man until they could not see him anymore. Unknown trees and colorful bushes continue until where his vision could go. Carefully moving his head to the other side, Roger saw the sand meeting the deep blue sea. Again there was no sign of cities in his horizon.

''It's a beautiful island.'' The calm voice said from above, but this time Roger could notice some kind of sadness in the other man's words.

When Freddie got back he was not alone, a shirtless brown haired guy was following him while caring a banana bunch. The smaller guy approached Roger with a large smile, offering him an object that seemed like a cup. He put the object close enough to Taylor's mouth so he could drink from it without having to move from his safe place in those strong arms.

''Want some more, darling? Or perhaps you would like a banana? It's been a while since the last time you ate.''

Roger knew that Freddie was talking to him, but he was busy enjoying the sensation of the water hitting his hurt stomach. That was when he realized that he was starving. His belly made a loud noise in reaction.
