Chapter 2
The ocean roared like a giant beast, swallowing the last traces of the boat that had abandoned her. While her step-parents didn't notice that the young girl incidently fell .Fifteen-year-old CiCi stood at the shoreline, bare feet sinking into the wet sand, her heartbeat louder than the crashing waves.With torn clothes .She wanted to scream. To run. To wake up from this nightmare. She had no food not medication to survive with .But none of that would help her now. Her step-parents were long gone. They had left her here… alone.
The parents didn't call the police to alert them after they found out that CiCi indeed was truely missing
The island stretched endlessly before her—dense forests, towering cliffs, and shadows that moved even when the wind was still. But fear was something CiCi had learned to swallow a long time ago. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, lifted her chin, and stepped into the unknown mysetirc island to check if there island is save not harmful for her since she was a little girl often forgotten in every place she visited with her family.
The Making of a Survivor
At first, the island tried to break her.
Wild animals lurked behind every rustling bush. The nights were cold, the darkness terrifying, and hunger gnawed at her bones. The first time a wild boar charged at her, she thought her life was over. But instinct—and something fierce inside her—took over.
She fought heavily creatures and managed to set free.
She survived the wild and poisonous plants
And as days turned into weeks, CiCi changed. Her hands grew rough from climbing trees and crafting spears. Her muscles hardened from running and surviving ambushes from animals that considered her prey. She learned the language of the island—the cracking of branches, the rhythm of tides, the shadows of predators.
She no longer feared the wild.
She lived with it.
She became its villain, its warrior, its challenge.
Animals that once hunted her now fled at the sound of her footsteps.And looked up on her as their boss the animals bowed before her feet
A Stranger in the Wild
On the forty-second day—though she had stopped counting—CiCi noticed footprints that weren't hers. Human footprints. Panic gripped her for the first time in weeks. Could it be her step-parents returning? Someone worse? Or maybe…
Maybe someone like her.
She followed the prints quietly, spear in hand. Her heart raced as she reached a clearing she had never seen. There, drinking from a spring, was a boy about her age, thin, bruised, and barefoot.
He sensed her presence before he saw her.
When their eyes met, neither spoke.
CiCi saw exhaustion. Fear. But also something familiar—a will to survive.
The boy stepped back cautiously. "I'm not your enemy," he said, voice shaky. "My name is Aulla."
CiCi didn't lower her spear, but she softened. "How did you get here?"
Aulla looked down. "I ran away. My family… they weren't kind. I took a boat. Storm hit very bad to the point where I passed out .I woke up here."
Their stories were different, but their pain—eerily similar.
For the first time since her abandonment, CiCi felt something warm spark inside her: connection.
The Sound That Changed Everything
They sat beneath a massive tree, sharing the little food Aulla had gathered. They asked each other questions—careful, curious, almost hopeful that here will find a way to escape the tragic place like that !!
But before they could truly know each other, a loud metallic bang echoed across the island.
Both froze in shock , their eyes Wilder
The sound cut through the forest like a blade—unnatural, sharp, impossible to ignore.
It wasn't an animal.
It wasn't the wind.
It was something else!!!
Aulla's eyes widened. "Did you hear that?"
CiCi gripped her spear tighter. "Yes… and whatever made that sound isn't supposed to be here."
Leaves trembled. Birds scattered into the sky.
Another clang rang out—closer this time.
Slowly, CiCi and Aulla turned toward the source of the noise…CiCi started to hold her spear in a sharp right angle parallel to her knees.
their hearts pounding in unison…Aulla started to cry since it was his first time experience such things away from home .
as the shadows at the edge of the forest began to move. The island started to become very very dark ,they book couldn't see ,CiCi summoned a little plant to be their light since the creature heading towards them didn't show it's figure
Aulla started screaming and yelling shouting for help ,banged and banged against the the tree with a metal stick he was holding
The creature changed direction and headed rapidly to Aulla
CiCi shouted charging towards the creature
Hayyyy!! ×5
