(This may have been inspired by a show that my little sister likes to watch. If you don't like it, don't hate on me, I got inspired.)

Virgil took a deep breath of the ocean air as he walked up to the shore of an extinct volcano island, having to take a boat out here. His friend, Patton, dared the anxious male to go explore the island, having been curious for a very long time to see what is on the island. So far, Virgil has found lots of tropical fruits and monkeys on this island. But, Virgil couldn't keep himself near the edges of the island, so, went to the volcano. Virgil reached the base of the volcano and looked up. He hadn't even realized that it was getting darker by the minute, more intrigued by the strange markings that were carved into the rocks.

Virgil decided to circle around the volcano when he slipped and fell down a hole that he hasn't seen before, landing on his face once he reached the ground. "Fuck!" Virgil screamed, sitting up and covering his nose, feeling a trickle of blood start to come out of his left nostril. The smell of seawater was very strong now, which reminded him that he wasn't near the ocean when he fell down the hole. Virgil opened his eyes and widened in response to what he saw.

There was a huge pool of water that was being stopped by rocks that were smooth, probably shaved down by the salt water that keeps licking up on the rocks and splashing onto the bank of pebbles. Virgil saw a sliver of moonlight come in from the opening of the volcano, which was reflecting off of the saltwater and creating light patterns on the walls of the volcano. The strange carvings that were carved in the rocks began to glow, making Virgil almost freak out. The only reason why he didn't freak out is because of the calming atmosphere that he received from the carvings.

There was an odd scent, one that wasn't of salt or water, but of ashes and burning fire. Virgil couldn't find the source of it, so he presumed that a natural forest fire was happening outside of the volcano. Virgil went closer to the water, just in case if the fire got down the hole that he fell in. Virgil fiddled with the rings on his fingers, one from his father, mother, and Patton, all on his right hand so he didn't pick at his skin when he got anxious.

Virgil sighed and took off his jacket and shirt, more blood coming out of his nose. He decided that it would be best if he stopped the blood momentarily by dunking his face in the saltwater pool, which would sting a little, but not much worse could happen. Virgil looked down at the pool, took a deep breath and dunked his entire head underwater. After a couple of seconds, he got his head out of the water, running his hand under his nose to find watery blood instead of thick, mucus blood.

Virgil shrugged, seeing that it was better than nothing, and ran his left hand through his hair, slicking it back slightly. His makeup was surely ruined by now, but he didn't exactly care since he was alone. He looked up at the sky where the hole of the volcano was, seeing that the moon was almost entirely filling the hole of the extinct volcano. How long has he been here on the island? He only arrived here at 6 pm, it couldn't have been almost midnight already. Virgil dug through his jacket pockets, pulling out his phone and looking at the time.

'11:58 pm' shined back at Virgil, making him sigh. He didn't live with his parents, so he didn't exactly have a curfew, but he was always anxious about traveling around at night. 'Guess I'm going to stay here. It's pretty cozy anyway, so I don't mind.' Virgil thought to himself and put his shirt back on.

Two minutes later, the pool started to bubble. Virgil looked at it, startled that a huge fish was going to eat him or something until he heard some nice music coming from the pond. Virgil smiled softly at the tune, and got closer to the water, already have taken off his shoes and socks since he was getting ready to nap on his jacket for the night. Virgil stepped into the pool, looking up at the smiling moon in the sky. Then, his vision went black.
