The Mysterious Island of Lost Treasures

Chapter 7

I felt terrible about doing this, but I was so confused at that moment. Now I regretted running away. I could've just told him, but he probably would've be even more upset. Would he? Either way, he would feel even more hurt. I started crying as I ran, my face being flooded with tears of shame and regret.

I ran, and didn't stop. My eyes were useless because of all the tears. Eventually, I got tired and fell on my knees. I still couldn't stop crying about how terrible I felt. Crying about the pain I gave Kyo. The pain I gave myself.

While I was sitting there, bawling my eyes out, I got surrounded by these... things. I couldn't tell what they were, and not just because of my tears.

My tears started to stop because of the situation, and in front of me, I saw a sharp stick I could use to fight. I picked it up and tried stabbing the animals, but they were too fast. The dark made them hard to see. All I could really see was their bright, colorful eyes. What was strange was their eyes were all different shades. Some were blue, some green, some white, some red, and so on.

No matter where I jabbed or swung, I missed. Eventually, one of the creatures clawed my leg, and I couldn't stand. I was scared; there was no possible way out of this. I tried to keep jabbing the animals, but it didn't work. One of the things clawed my arm, and another one trampled over the other. I was sure that this was the end. My only option now was to scream and hope for Kyo to come save me.

I screamed, "Help! Kyo! Please help me! I don't want to die! KYO!!!" One of the cat-like things stomped on both of my legs, and I couldn't move at all now. "Help me! Kyo! Please don't let me die! I'm sorry about what happened! Please just save me!" Finally, after I was clawed, stomped on, and mauled, Kyo swung in with his Tarzan impression and scared the cats. He had a stick that seemed like a sword, and slaughtered all the animals.

After that, he came to help me. I was crying like a baby, holding on to Kyo's shirt, trying to hold myself up. He held me while I was freaking out in the situation. "Kyo, I was so scared! I thought I was going to die! I'm still scared and in pain!" He just held me up, and whispered over and over again to calm me, "Everything's okay now. Everything's going to be all right. I'm here now, just calm down."

I wouldn't stop crying for a long time, but as I cried, he carried me back to the shelter and treated my wounds. We used the cloth that was over the bouquet for bandages, and Kyo went to the river really fast to get some cold water to help the bruises. I was a mess.
