On Their Own

Chapter 2: Look Who It is

        I blinked and and scanned my surroundings. "Where was I "I thought. I found myself lying on the bathroom floor. I found the plane but, it was a wreak. I try to find survivors. While I was surveying the area near the luggage, I surprising found 10 bucks. "Who needs a useless ten bucks on a island?" The sun was starting to set and it was getting darker. I try to speed up my search, but no one was anywhere be seen. A gust of wind penetrated my attire and soon, it was pretty cold. I quickly returned to the bathroom, which now acted as my sanctuary, and shut the door. Abruptly, the bathroom fell apart. Facepalming, I felt like a total idiot. A faint wailing sound echoed through the night. It was time to investigate! It was simple for to follow because every second that passed, the sound got louder. In the distance, Scott was perched up on a medium sized tree.
"Scott?" I yelled.
"Matthew, help me!" wailed Scott.
"How did you get up there?" shout Matthew.
"I don't know, but save me!" Scott wailed more.
I did the first thing that popped into my mind, climbing the tree.

        I grabbed the next branch and looked down. I gulped. I fixed my mind on Scott and tried to forget how high I was. I lifted my right leg and tried to place it on a small dent in the bark. My foot slipped by accident. My hands scrambled to keep me from falling. Finally, I reach the top. Crawling up next to Scott, I took a shaking breath and glanced around. "Wow, I can really see the island from up here. "Hurry up!" pouted Scott. "Fine" I said, grabbing Scott around the waist. I looked down wondering if I could slowly crawl back down with Scott. Too risky. I tried to find an alternative way down but couldn't find anything. Scott pointed his chubby little finger at a nearby water source. "Do you think we can play in that when we get down Matthew?" A light bulb flashed in my mind. "No Scott, we're going to take a splash now." Scott got the hint and cheered. "Bungee jump Matthew, go, go GO!!" I took a deep breath and jumped toward the water. As we came closer to the ground, I realized it wasn't a pond, it was only a small pond. We're screwed.
