The Mystery of Corpse Island

Chapter IV - To the Island~Part I

           "What? Wh-who are you?" I hesitantly asked as I shook in fear. How did it know who I was? "I am your-" then I felt the lights come back on. I squinted my eyes, everything was back to normal! I sighed heavily to release any current fright that crawled inside of me. Was I hallucinating? This was the second time I felt a strange presence. It felt so real. I might be hallucinating but immediately shook off the uneasiness that remained inside me. It must be my hallucinations, maybe I am just tired so I should take rest really , I thought to myself. I cleaned myself and went to bed. I closed my eyes and let my

We booked the ship we needed and loaded our cargo. "This is getting exciting!" Marco giggled.  We all joined Marco to laughter and we eventually stopped as we were interrupted by our ride being called out. We rushed inside and had our tickets punched, which means there is no turning back. Thomas paid for our ride, which meant we owed him part of our wallet money. I sighed deeply and looked at the ceiling of our ship as the crew explained the usual instructions for a safe journey. I closed my eyes as I felt Jenny pat my back.
