Thread: Paradise Falls... A getaway with a lurker in the jungle

Vision could feel his heated anger from her distance away from him. She sighed, and was actually enjoying the small time she had with the wild man. At least he was not some predator that was ready to chop her up and put her in a stew. Though, it wasn't like as if any animals on the island could do that anyway. They would've just killed her and left her body in the jungle. No, it's not a problem at all. They probably thought I went back to the boat after the boar incident. She stated, trying to ease less tension in his already alert muscles. As if they ever cared what I do anyway. She added barely even audible to herself. She shook her head and just smiled at him, and took his offering, letting her small hands be grasped by his much larger ones. She was content that she remained behind him. Who knows what kind of disaster would happen if he caught her blushing at his touches. Even when he barred her way with his arm, she couldn't help but be paralyzed by the warmth of his skin as he touched her. The trip was short, but still, the sun was wading down in the horizon by the time they would hit the trail to the cottage. Even more amazing than just the scenery was the animals all around her. Unknown to the wild man, she was studying to become a zoologist and an artist. Among the possessions she brought, were pencil and paper for her to record and draw every animal she would come in contact with. She didn't regret not coming here with this man, as he was used to the animals of the island. If she was with her family, no doubt they would've scared the animals away, and Vision would never see so many wild life crawl about her. Their eyes were wary, but not fearful, as the native islander seemed to put all the creatures at a sense of ease. Ah! Vision yelped as she stepped on a loose rock that gave way underneath her, causing her to almost trip forward. Indeed, the road was quite bumpy and unused. To regain her balance, she latched onto his arm tightly, as if it was her only savior of life. Her shoes weren't exactly fitting for climbing like this, but they weren't something expensive like Genesis would wear. Once she was out of danger, she resumed her position behind him, as he led her by the hand. She mumbled an apology, looking away as if her blush would come from somewhere else. After a while, they turned the corner, and just up a little bit more, a cozy house seemed to be sent on a small plateau of the mountain. Oh! Looks like we made it! Vision said with a happy tone. She could use a rest for her feet. As they made closer to the house, Genesis' yelling could be heard inside the house, as it seemed like she was arguing with her father and some others inside, though her words could not be heard. There was no one outside to greet them except for the captain, who remained outside and nodded his head. Ah! The local of the island has arrived, and with him, the youngest daughter. Seems like you went missing on us after the little monster incident. He was a tall sailor, though his hair and beard were grey, he had the built of a giant, but not clearly as strong as the white-haired stranger standing next to her. Then, the captain turned to him. Seems like they are having an issue with your presence here. Best make yourself known to the family that'll be staying here for the while. he advised.listu
