The Island Of Avallon

Chapter Two: Coconut

Day Three

[Erin]

Three days have passed. I can actually understand the monkey man better now.

I haven't been out of the cave since I was brought here though. He insisted I stayed while he got me anything I needed but what I really needed right now was to soak in some water and not feel my unbathed skin.

I was slowly going insane locked up in this cave. The man is treating me like you would a child.

But here I am, still waiting for the monkey to return with my coconut while looking out from the cave and seeing the wonders of the island. The cave was at the end of it and from the high mountain it was carved in you could see the entire island.

It was small, but it had plenty of trees and a huge waterfall in the near distance. From the silence surrounding me, I could hear the river stream going down and hitting the rocks.

Something moved, catching my eyes which caused me to move my gaze to look at the man jumping from tree to tree with plenty of coconuts in hand. I was surprised at the agility the large male had.

I moved out of the way just in time for him to hop onto the rocky floor, his feet a bruising red. It must be tough having no shoes and hopping about on rough platforms.

"Coconut" He grinned at me, his teeth having a yellow hue from not washing them for so long. I wonder if there were any mint bushes around here. I took one of the ripe brown fruits from his hand, thanking him.

"Do you have mint bushes around here?" I glanced at the bulkier male, heaving a sigh of relief seeing he gave a nod to his head.

"You come, water and mint" I nodded, glancing at the coconut in hand. He made a sound, similar to an 'Ah' before taking the round fruit from me and getting a rock. He hit it exactly twice and it split perfectly in half.

He gave them to me, gazing longingly at them.

I was confused about the fact he didn't take one for himself, my heart clenching at the thought of him treating me so kindly.

I handed him one and he shook his head.

"Take it!" He took it cautiously, eyes not once looking away from my own and with that, he chugged the nut's water.

"Why didn't you want to take it?"

"You guest. me treat good" He smiled brightly at me, wiping the extra juices from his lips with his bare arm. I mentally cringed at that just knowing it will get sticky once dried.

My heart clenched again at the words.

This man has been alone for so long that he's treating me like a god at this point.

"Well, I'm your friend now... You don't need to give me everything you get" I gave another smile at the handsome man. I froze, wait a minute. Handsome? I laughed at that. That was so gay if my father heard that it'd be smacked so hard that my face would permanently stay the angle he'd smacked me in.

"Come, I take to water!" He beamed at me and gave me a hand. I made sure not to look at the member swinging down his thighs since I made it here but at some point, I had taken a glance or two.

I don't know if it's because he has been living in the wild with no access to clothes or if he was just naturally well-endowed but it made me self-conscious of my own size. I sulked a bit and took another sip of the coconut water before giving him my hand.

He guided me down while I made sure to not slip on the tiny rocks littered around.

We passed by many trees and most of them looked the same. How could he possibly memorize the path back each time? He's always up on trees, yet right now he's cautiously leading me to 'water' on the ground.

I was surprised to see him lead us to the waterfall. I gazed up, a smile lighting up my face as I saw the beautiful sight in front of me. The rush falling down creates a sparkling effect at the bottom. I desperately wanted to take a dip but the tanned male was holding me back from going closer.

"Wait"

I nod. Eyes never leaving his frame as he walked ahead of me to check the area. I was glad he was trying his best to protect me but this was too much, I'm pretty sure I would have noticed if a tiger was nearby.

I simply wanted to take a dip and hopefully wash the dirt off my body.

"Come"
