"Antonia, Antonia" blurred voices called my name. Remembering those voices, I then realised it was Caroline and Mackenzie calling me. My eyes slowly opened but it just buzzed a pain in my head. Regaining focus, I steadily sit up and make eye contact with Caroline, who is in front of me sitting down. Examining my surroundings, I was on a red sanded beach next to the ocean which the tide was washing up the shore but there was something odd about the ocean... It was.... Rose gold.
"where are we" I whispered as I got up from the uncomfortable position I was in.
"where are we!?" I repeated regaining my strength.
"looks like some new dimensional island" Mackenzie sighed.
"I don't know either" Caroline said as she strolled back and forth. Suddenly something caught her eye.
"Oh my days, our stuff!!" Caroline screamed as she pointed a few meters away. As I looked to the direction of her finger, they both darted off.
I ran after them and selected our own things. I thank God that we didn't lose any valuable items just some clothes and shoes.
" guys, it don't look like we gonna get rescued so why don't we build a shelter?" Mackenzie questioned.
"my mum taught me how to make tents out of palm leaves and wood when we went on holiday to Hawaii"
Caroline informed us.
"oou, that's sick but let's get started so we finish before sundown" I added on.
We all shared jokes as we walked towards the tropical forest which was behind us yet I didn't notice.
Rustle! I heard a noise and I looked to my right and saw Amber eyes staring as we walked but I ignored it as nothing.

After walking for 10 minutes on circles, we found a good spot.
"PERFECTO!" Mackenzie said as she tried to act like a scout leader.
"not even gonna lie but your right" I replied mocking her acting.
"But seriously, what are we gonna use to chop wood and collect palm leaves?" Caroline said, and this was at the correct time to ask that. What about all the things we would need?

Lost. Mackenzie and I looked at each other, trying not to laugh.
"oouu, mom's are best, I forgot I have a secret department which has camping tool in my bag" Caroline said as she rolled her eyes.
Mackenzie's face lit up with a cheeky devious grin. "oh Caroline what are we without you!!" she said happily.
"enough talking, let's get to work" I yawned, rolling my tattered sleeves. We each selected a few tools and began on a new design on our "palm house".
Chop after chop, hammer after hammer with a stone, swish after swish of the large palm leaves, we were getting closer to finishing our little house. After, every piece of wood and leave was gone, we began creating decorations, and this was just the beginning to our adventure and our new home on this island if we aren't saved.

Approximately 3 hours later, we had finished building our home which turned out to be amazing : teamwork creates the best work, everything turns good. "woah, I never knew or thought we would make something like this" I said staring at the house.
"anything can be done as a team with the help of faith" Mackenzie said smiling. A chilly wind blew through the trees and sent chills down our spines.
"very true, but it's getting cold, why don't we go inside" Caroline quickly blurted out. We stopped gawking at the house and dragged out stuff which was still outside, into the house and made ourselves comfortable. Our clothes were shredded, so we decided to change into the clothes which were still in good shape.
A peaceful silence cleared the room and since the incident this is the only Time I have felt at peace.
"oouuu, would anyone like some hot chocolate?" Caroline said breaking the silence.
I looked at her annoyed saying. "we don't.." I paused as she held up a kettle. Dumb founded, I looked at Mackenzie to say what the fuck! as our mouths dropped open.
"hold up! Where's the plug dummy?" Mackenzie said rolling her eyes.
"oh...." Caroline said quietly "I've got pots and and other items, we can use to cook, wash etc you know the basics" she added on.
"why do you always have things like that?" I asked curiously.
"don't worry about it" Caroline said but in a rude tone yet calm.
I thought to myself that this was a bit weird, I'm sure she never knew that we would be stranded on a island or did she?

"foreal, you... Are.... Such... A" Mackenzie said stuttering as she interrupted my thoughts meanwhile she was interrupted by a noise from the outside.

Knock! knock! Knock
