Y/n POV

"Who the fu-" Lauren starts m

"-What's this you guys are doing here? Dinner?" She asks

"Yeah..." I hesitate

"Aww, that's nice" she smiles

"Umm... who are you and where did you come from?" Lauren says

"Oh where are my manners!" She says. "My names Katheryn, I was sent over to capture you"

"Wait what now?" I say

"Caaappputure" She sounds out

"You're not capturing anyone" Lauren says as she picks up a sharpened stick

"Is that a spear?! Where tf did you get a spear?" I question

"I made it" Lauren says

"I don't know if I would exactly call that a spear" Kathryn says. "It's so small and sad"

"Well who asked you Kathryn?!" Lauren says

"Ok ok sorry I'm sure we can all be civilized about this" she says

"Look clearly you've been watching us so what do you want?" Lauren says

"Let's calm down now" she says

"I am calm!" Lauren yells

"Lauren" I say

Kathryn then just stared at us. She doesn't speak, she doesn't even blink.

"Umm...Bitch you broke?" Lauren says

"...Look, you either put the stick down or you get hit in the head with a rock" she says

"Are you threatening us?" Lauren says

"Lauren lets just do what she says" I say

"Y/n stop being a little bitch. Haven't you ever seen any island movie ever, she's gonna kill us" she says

"Oh God no! I wouldn't dream of it!" Kathryn says

"...See, she even sounds like a killer" she says

"I don't want to kill you" Kathryn says

"I don't think she wants to kill us" I say

"And we know that because??" Lauren says

"Because if I wanted to kill you I would have done it already" Kathryn says pointing to dozens of hidden men with spears and rocks

"Wtf?" Lauren says

"Now follow me, or get dragged" Kathryn says as she starts to walk

-

"Lauren" I whisper as we follow Kathryn through the woods

"What?" She whispers back

"Wtf?!" I whisper

"I know!!" She whispers back

"What do we do?" I whisper

"I'm gonna make a run for it" she whispers

"But she has a whole army" I whisper

"I'm sure we can outrun some spears and rocks" she whispers

"We?!" I whisper

"-You two can't whisper for shit" Kathryn says

"...Fuck I think she heard us" I whisper

"No shit" Lauren says

"Ok well if you're done plotting your escape, we're here" Kathryn says as we come to see what looks like paradise

"Holy shit" Lauren says

"Is that.. real food?" I question

"Well it ain't a sardine" Kathryn smiles

"That's all I need to hear" I smile

"How'd you get all of this?" Lauren asks

"All of what?" Kathryn says

"The food... the shelter... the people?" She says

"Well similar to you, we washed up on shore after a shipwreck" She says

"Wait how'd you ....you really have been watching us?" Lauren says

"If some random people invade your home you'd be suspicious too" she says

"Fair enough, but it wasn't a shipwreck" Lauren says

"Yeah it was a ship tilt" I say

"Ship tilt?" Kathryn asks

"Yeah our ship tilted, it's not that hard" Lauren says

"Right" Kathryn says

"Ok so why bring us here?" Lauren asks

"After we realized you weren't a threat we decided to help" she says

"A threat?" Lauren asks. "Y'all get a lot of evil bad guys washing to shore around here?"

"You can never be to sure, I've seen island movies too" Kathryn smirks

"Who are these people?" I ask

"That's my family over there, everyone else were once strangers but now have become like family" she says

"Omg those are kids" Lauren says

"Yeah we've got 4 little ones here, used to be 5" Kathryn says

"How long have you been here?" I ask

"I lost count a while ago but, if I had to guess, maybe a year" she says

"Wow" I say

"Look make yourselves at home, grab a plate, you're more than welcome to stay and join us" Kathryn smiles as she walks away

"She's so nice" I say

"Y/n are you serious?!" Lauren says

"What?" I ask

"We can't stay here" she says

"And why not?" I ask. "She's not trying to kill us"

"Yet" She says

"Lauren" I say crossing my arms

"She said they've been here for a year, they've built a whole camp and they call it home, clearly they're in no rush to leave" she says

"Yeah but-" I start

"But what? Don't you want to go home?" She asks

"Yeah but we don't know when help is coming, they have food, shelter, and protection. I say we stay" I say

"I don't know y/n" she says

"Come ooooooonnn" I beg

"Fine, but we go back to the shore everyday and keep an eye out" she says

"Yay!" I cheer
