As we go around the island. We see its beauty, the streams, the flowers, the fruits, the trees and so much more. But no sign of human life. We walk around for hours till our stomachs start growling.
As I eat I come across a realisation. We were on an inhabited island. No one not a single animal to be seen. As the realization dawns on me I start shaking with fear, my head starts to check a dizzy spell comes over me.
Before I realize I am in no shape to calm myself. I start mumbling to myself.
"Kathy, it's me Leo. Liaten to my voice calm down. " Leo tries to pacify me.
"Leo, we are stuck on this island. I can't see my parents my brothers there. We can't see anyone. We are trapped on this God forsaken island. With no way for someone to find us. Do you not understand. We are trapped. This island is our prison. " I start screaming.
As I say we all get quite.
Ange sit in a corner hugging HR knees as she tries to reassure herself.
Ron stares at me for sometime and then bends down and starts hitting the sand and screaming "Shit! Shit!... Shit! ".
Leo holds me like I'm his last hope of survival.
We all come to the true realization that we are trapped here. No way out but don't know how we reached.
We all sit there for how long, I don't think any of us knew. The sun started to set when Leo broke the silence.
"Guys, I know. This is worse than it looks. But remember who our families are. They will try to find us. And for THEM to find US we need to stay alive." Leo says. "You guys stay I'll take a look what's ahead of us."
I don't think Leo knew how much his words affected me. I think I might have just fallen deeper in love with him. Just being glad that if I will die atleast he'll be there by my side.
After Leo leaves Ron and I decide to distract our selves by sending signals to any radio line we thinkight receive it.
Leo goes and comes back and says. "We are about 15 minutes walk from our boat. I think we should fill out bottle with the spring water there. It's evening let's go. Although we didn't see anything now don't think we will see any further. Take. The fruits and the other stuff. We need to return tomorrow. Let's go up the hill. "
We all get up and fill our bottles and head towards the boat.
We again divinde ourselves into two teams. While Ange and I prepare the food. Ron and Leo set up the fire perimeter.
Once both of us are done with the work we eat the food.
"We need to start thinking long term. " I say.
"Hmmm" Everyone nodded.
"I think I saw fruits like apple, bananas, gapes and a few more. Let's go again tomorrow wand survey the island. We know we have water. We just need to find food." I continue.
"We can go up the mountain after a few days. Maybe try to see if any fertile soil is there. We still have some rice sapling from your last experiment. Ron are they still there or did you move it. " Ange asks.
"Didn't move them. " Ron answers.
After we discuss further. I ask Ange and Leo to clear the plate while I talked Ron.
"We need an alternate power source. " I say to Ron
"We are on a deserted island. Where did OK you ant to get an alternate power source from. " Ron says
"The roof top solar panels??"
"I think I can manage. I maybe a movie star. But I specialize in electrical. I graduated top in university."
As we discuss how to do some changes to boat for further survival.
Leo comes running and screams "FISH"
Both Ron and I go see what he's saying and and we her a swarm of fish passing by.
"Fishing gear now. " I say.
Ron gets the fishing gear. Ron and Leo try fishing while Ange and I get the bucket ready for the fishes.
We catch a lot of fish. As we had already eaten dinner. We decide to keep them for the next day.
We make small hole and add about 20 buckets of sea water and put the fish inside.
We then divide our selves in two teams and follow the same routine as the previous day to monitor the communication device.
