The Mysterious Island

shipwrecked

My name is Annie and I'll be 30 in a week. I'm moving to England to start fresh. My husband died a year ago in a work related accident so after a year I decided to go for it. It was about dusk when it happened. I was eating a salad when all of a sudden the ship jerked. I went on deck to see what happened and the waves were so bad it was scary. I could hear someone say to the captain that we were way off course. One minute I was holding onto railing by the door to the deck then next I was thrown over board and blacked out. I woke up for a split second in the arms of someone and before I passed out again I heard him say "Everything is going to be ok". He carried me towards a mansion within a forest. Took me inside and up the stairs to a spare room. He laid me down gently on the bed while the help brought in towels and dry clothes. The man backed away so they could get me dry. After they was done he thanked them and sat on the bedby me as the help walked out. "Please wake up", he whispered while holding my hand. I started stirring and slowly opened my eyes. His face slowly came into focus and I asked dryly "Where am I". "Your safe now," he replied. "There was a storm near here and the ship sank. We only found you." I sat up as he handed me a glass of water. "Thanks", I said as tears went down my face. I drank the water and he took the glass. "Get some rest. It's getting late. We'll talk more tomorrow. Good night", he said walking to the door. He turned around and said, "I'm Damion". "I'm Annie, Good night". He walked out and I laid down to sleep.
