Chapter 3
I wake up freezing cold and soaked with water. I lift my head and scan my surroundings. I was lying on the rocks at a beach. On a small island. In the middle of no where. "Great!" I mumble to myself sarcastically, laughing lightly at my pessimistic outlook. This isn't necessarily the most horrible thing in the world? I slowly rise out of the water. I slip and fall back onto the rocks. "Son Of a-!" I stopped myself, groaning in pain. Loki was in the water beside me. I heard loud talking in the distance. Jack came running down the beach. He spotted me and ran over through the water.
"Are you ok?" He questioned . He stood in the water and picked me up gently, shocking me slightly. He carried me out of the rock area and back onto the beach.
"Thank you Jack" I nod, stretching my back. Loki stands up and runs next to me. "Where are the others?" I ask Jack. He shrugs. The voice begins to talk.
"Welcome everyone. This is a self created game. It is called SurvivalGuide. You are on this island for two days, and cannot teleport, fly or use any form of transportation. Good luck" the voice said. I scanned the island. My black trench coat was soaking wet and I uncomfortably shivered, rubbing my arms. Jack slowly took it off my shoulders and placed his jumper on me.
"No Jack, please, you need it more" I worried.
"I'm not going to let you freeze" he replied. I smiled at him gently. It won't take long for mine to dry, I'll give it back as quickly as possible. "Shall we go find the others?" He asked, holding out his hand.
"We shall" I giggled, taking it and walking after him. Loki followed behind quietly. Loki fell behind a little, So for fun, I transformed him into a white tiger. He roared happily and playfully jumped around. I unfolded my wings to stretch them out when I was abruptly blasted into the floor. I yelped in pain, trying to regain my composure that had apparently gone to hell. Jack ran to my side in a panic.
"What the hell was that?!" Jack hissed at the voice.
"She was going to fly" It replied bluntly.
"I was stretching my wings you dumb motherfu-"I growled quietly, stopping my profanity. The voice went silent. Jack pulled me to my feet gently and we both looked at my torso. My ribs were badly bruised and covered in blood. I winced in pain touching it, a small wave of panic crashing into me as I did.
"It's okay, look at me. Just look at me" Jack told me calmly. I stared into his ocean blue eyes, and instantly began to relax momentarily. I walked a few steps and grasped my agonising torso.
"Frick me" I mumbled to myself in frustration.
"Do you want me to carry you?" Jack asked.
"No Thank you Jack, I'm sure I'll be fine" I responded, forcing a smile. He looked at me worriedly and put my arm around his neck, beginning to assist me to walk. I nodded thank fully. We walked along the sandy beach, looking for Mark and Felix. I heard a groan and looked up to see Mark lying weakly across two of the tree branches, in obvious pain. I tapped Jack and pointed at Mark. His face dropped.
"I have and idea" I said. I took of jacks jumper and I turned into a dragon, hiding my wings to avoid another injury ridden blast to hurl my way. I stood on my hind legs and gently picked Mark up. I slowly placed him on the floor and turned back into a human. Jack shook Mark awake and Mark shot up.
"H-Hey guys." We hauled him gently to his feet. "What happened?" He asked, looking at my waist. Damn these midriffs.
"The voice....it attacked her" Jack mumbled angrily. Mark looked at me sympathetically.
"If there's anything I can do to help, tell me" he nodded. I nodded slightly in return and we began to walk. I took a few steps and fell over in pain. Mark and Jack picked me up again. Mark's face suddenly lit up. " Idea" he grinned. He turned into a beautiful stallion. I laughed lightly. Jack gently picked me up and sat me on Mark. I held onto Mark's mane gently and he began to walk. Jack walked beside us, riding Loki. We heard Felix's voice in the distance.
"Mark, turn right" Jack announced suddenly. Mark galloped to the right to find Felix sitting on a rock. "Felix!" Jack said excitedly. Felix jumped up and bro hugged Jack excitedly, happy to see all of us. He looked at me and smiled.
"Hey, I'm Hannah" I say sticking out my hand for a bro fist.
"Oooo she's a bro!" He grins widely, bumping my fist.
"Where did you two get a horse?" Felix asked.
"Maybe ask yourself where Mark is first" I laughed. Felix expression painted a confused stare. Mark changed back into a human and caught me in his arms, gently setting me back down. Felix and him talked for a while and Jack and I just quietly listened.
"What happened to here Hannah?" Felix pointed at my torso.
'I seriously need to put my coat back on so people stop seeing this'
"The voice attacked me" I replied bluntly. He gently put his hand near it.
"Do you trust me?" He asked. I nodded slowly. He gently placed his hand on it and began to heal it.
"Woah Cool! I didn't know you could do that!" I exclaimed, fascinated and amazed simultaneously. He took his hand off and it looked like nothing happened! "Thanks Felix" I grinned. He smiled and stood back. Jack handed me my now dry coat and I put it back on. I regained my energy and composure. Felix looked weaker suddenly. "You ok Felix?" I asked. He weakly nodded. Nope. He wasn't. I turned into a tiger similar to Loki and walked beside him. I crouched on the floor in front of him and invited him on.
"Are you sure?" He asked. I nodded. He jumped on and I hopped to my feet. I began to run down the beach. Felix was looking in awe at the beautiful small island. I began to run faster and he laughed happily. I jumped over rocks and bits of trees, and each time Felix would go "WOOHOO!" Mark turned into a horse, and Jack sat on his back. Mark, Jack and Loki raced me and Felix. I sprinted across the beach at tremendous speed when Felix suddenly pulled me to a halt. I roared in pain as he tugged on my fur roughly for an abrupt halt.
"Sorry!" he apologised, staring at something intently that was off in the distance. I followed his line of vision. Ahead I see two zombies.
"Run!"
I turn around and sprint the other way. Mark follows closely behind with Jack, and Loki running beside them. The zombies begin running. They were really fast! Picture World War Z level zombies. This guys were fast. I looked behind me when Mark suddenly bumped me. As I began to lose my balance, I threw Felix onto Mark and slammed into a tree. I turned back into a human and began to run again, rubbing my forehead. Mark stopped and Jack pulled me onto Mark, beckoning him to run again. I turn and shoot at one of the zombies. They fall over and disappear.
1 down 1 to go.
I shot the second one and it disappeared. This was way too easy. There must be a catch to this.
"Night is coming kiddy winks, find some shelter to keep your limbs!" The voice boomed. Damn that thing is creepy as frick. I look at Jack worriedly.
"Everything will be fine" he whispered, grasping my hand gently. We scan the area to find a large bush type area.
"Maybe we can sleep in the trees?" I suggested. They all nodded in agreement. We stopped in the area and began to find suitable trees to sleep in. I made a small house-like structure for Loki, and placed it in a well hidden spot. I found a high tree that had two branches beside each other. I chose that one and began to set it up so it was comfortable. Jack found a place on the same tree as me and Felix and Mark shared one. As the darkness began to creep in, I heard low growls in the distance. I had a feeling this was going to be a long night.....
TIME SKIP : 2AM THAT NIGHT
I shoot up as the low growls become a far too close for comfort. I stand up and shake Jack, who was lying not far away from me. "Jack! Jack" I whisper-scream. He shoots up.
"What's wrong?" He mumbled, his voice husky and laced with sleep. I pointed at the zombies. "Oh sh!t" he muttered. I flew down and scooped up Felix, who was close to the ground and a possible target to the zombies. I was blasted for flying.
"Yeah yeah I KNOW! Bastard" I hissed at the voice. Felix woke up.
"What's going on?!" He yelped fearfully. He looked at the zombies. "Ohhhh I get it now" he said.
"Felix hush!" Mark said, climbing up.
"We only have to survive 4 more hours for this to be over." They all looked at me.
"Okay, what's the plan?" Felix asked, looking at everyone.
"Stay up here?" Mark suggested
"We could" Jack said.
"JACK WATCH OUT!" I screeched as a zombie jumps at him. I push him out of the way. The zombie grabs my jacket and pulls me. "Ahhhh!" I yelped as I fall from a tree equal to the size of a 3-storey house.
"Hannah!" All three men scream. I grab onto a branch and hang on tightly. Jack and Mark grab my hands. "It's okay, Hannah, we've got you" Jack breathed shakily.
"Hannah, stay calm, just look at me, don't look down" Mark said. I turned my head back to look at them. They pulled me up finally and I landed on top of them both.
"Thank you guys" I whispered, breathing a sigh of relief, cuddling them both.
"No problem" Jack said
"Happy to help!" Mark smiled, ruffling my hair gently. I laughed. Felix pulled me too my feet. "Alright, there goes that plan, the zombies can jump!" Mark sighed.
"What about water, do you think they can swim?" I suggested.
"Better to try than not" Jack said. We began to climb down carefully until Felix slipped.
"Felix!" I yelped, sliding down quickly and grab his hand.
"Thank you" he called out. I smiled gently. We continued to climb down and finally got to the floor. "Guys run!" Felix yelped. The group of zombies ran up behind us. I ran as fast as I could with the others. Jack tripped on a branch with a crash, and I hastily grabbed his hand and pulled him up again, continuing to run.
"Not much further!" Felix screamed, heading towards the water. We all jumped in, the chilled water freezing over us. The zombies stood on the beach and watched lifelessly. I looked around.
"Where's Mark?" I say. We all look around. I look underwater to see him sinking, struggling to fight to swim upwards. I quickly dive down and grab him, pulling him up. He opens his eyes and gasps for air as I hold him up. I carefully swim over too the rocks and sit him on one.
"T-Thank you H-Hannah" he trembled. I smiled and breathed heavily in relief that he was alright. Suddenly, a zombie jumps at me. I jump back and it narrowly misses my head, and as a result we both land in the water roughly. The zombie grabs my hair and pulls me down violently. I try and shoot it but can't turn.
The surface gets further and further.
My vision turns dark in the corners and my ears ring.
I blast a orb above the surface. Felix darts under water towards me. I continue to struggle against the zombie. Felix punches it and pulls me up. I gasp for air as Felix lifts me above the water.
"You ok?" He panics lightly, rubbing my back. I continue to breathe heavily, trying to nod my head. Felix brings me over to the rocks beside Mark.
"T..t..thanks guys" I whispered as the both tried warming me up. Mark pulled me gently against his chest. Suddenly, there was a loud announcement.
"Well done! You survived! On to the next challenge!" The voice boomed. We all looked at each other and we all were knocked out, clutching each other's hands.
