Chapter 21 - Mysterious Island

Skyla Roshanne

"Bye mom, dad, off we go." Me and my brothers said in unison to our parents.

Well after our lunch, the continuation for our volleyball tournament didn't happen because my brother decided that we visit the infamous "mysterious island". It's an island opposite to ours and it has earned its name as "mysterious island" since some parts of the island submerge into the ocean in a certain time. And now is the perfect time to visit it, but we must get back here before sunset because that's the time also some part of the island started to submerge into the sea. Another thing that garnered its name as "mysterious island" is that the owner is also unknown, or rather mysterious.

"Goodbye my children. Take care okay?" My mom bid us farewell.

"Goodbye guys, and you four, take care of our precious alright?" That's my dad being overprotective again.

"We'll surely will dad." Big brother Reese.

"Rest assured dad." Brother Rome.

"Aye aye captain." The twins, Reid and Rein.

We boarded our private yacht, and according to brother Rome, the "mysterious island" is just a 20 minute trip from our private beach resort.

I really love the sea, it makes me calm and at peace.

"Here we are, welcome to "Mysterious Island" princess."

"Thank you brother. And woah this island is beautiful, and I must say this island really gives me a mysterious vibe."

It's true, I can really sense something mysterious from this island, but I can't pinpoint what. But anyways, this island is really beautiful, it is rich with coconuts and I can see there are lots of other plants hidden inside this gem.

"You think so too lil' sis? We felt the same the first time we got here, but I think it's in a good way, because I tell you lil' sis, you'll really love it here. There are many other wonders hidden in this island. So let's go?" My brother Rein urged us to roam around the place.

While roaming around, I confirmed my theory that this island is really a hidden gem! I'm so in love with this place already, if only I could buy this. I want to explore more. I was so engrossed in exploring the island when I noticed that I am now all alone. My brothers are not with me. And now, I found myself in this part of the island which has a falls. Yes, you've read it right, there's a fall in here and it is surrounded by different species of flowers. Oh my God! This place is so majestic!

I was busy exploring the area when I felt someone was watching me. I scanned the area but I found no one. Weird and creepy.

I am about to swim into the water when I felt someone approaching. When I turned around, I saw a man in all black attire, carrying a gun!

Oh damn not again! The man in black is now approaching and I started to run.

Bang Bang Bang!

Shit I'm dead, I have no weapon but the man is firing bullets on me. I don't have a choice but to run and hide.

I am currently hiding here in a big tree. I hope that man won't find me.

I am trying to contact big brother Reese when I feel a cloth covering my nose, and I can smell some medicine in it.

"Sleep tight, Mine. You're safe now."

And that's the last thing I heard before I fell asleep.
