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

There was silence, peace, and most of all, boredom upon the ship. Vision was upon the side of the boat, her body leaned up against the railing with her elbows placed upon the wooden plank, and her chin propped firmly on the palm of her hands. Her eyes were half-closed, as she gazed boredly down in the depths of the water beneath them as they floated by. The sound of the sea splashing up against the hull was slightly soothing, and would've probably placed her into a deep hypnosis if she didn't have to hear the bickering of a few others nearby. But father! I don't see the point of doing all this hollobalu-around. a woman's voice argued. It was a young, melodious voice, pretty, but matured as if her demands were becoming absolute. Now dear, be patient. We promised you a very special birthday present, and of course, it wouldn't be right to not let you see your present. A small man's voice tried to coax the woman's temper. The sounds of something breaking was heard. Vision believed it was the sounds of a tea cup seeing the last of its days holding tea. Vision sighed, and lazily moved away so that she would not have to hear both her sister and her father bicker about something pointless. Especially about her own birthday present. Who would complain about getting their own island? Vision had moved to the stern of the boat, where the deck was an open air flat. Chairs and tables were planted upon it as well as lawn recliners so that one could sunbath as well. However Vision had no intention of doing such thing. Instead she found herself leaning up against the railing again, letting the winds blow through her brown hair. Her sister, Genesis was the beautiful daughter of the head of the Explorer's League, her father, and today was her twenty-fifth birthday. As a present for her, her father found deeds to the tropical islands that were home to some tribesmen, but according to the chief who owned the islands, the one they bought was deserted and free to buy. Of course, the islanders were happy to receive the large amounts of gold and treasure that her father put to invest in such an island, and they didn't question his purchase. When Vision would turn twenty-five, she was sure that her father would not buy her a private island. She was the second daughter, and was the most ignored member of the family, due to her young age. Just like a rich daughter, she was just told to be quiet, and smile during showcases and special events, and then live a life of boredom under the laws of the riche. Vision sighed, sinking further into her depression. She didn't understand why she had to come along. Because she's your older sister. Her father had said, ad left that to be the only reasoning for this trip. Mentally kicking herself for agreeing to such a journey, she was just about to leave when the captain announced through his megaphone. Sir. We have sight of the island. We shall be there within the hour. And that was all he said. Vision rolled her eyes, only imagining how her sister would be once she saw her island. It's too small! It's too hot! Why couldn't I have my own house instead!? The thought made Vision giggle as she went to the bow of the deck to see the island with her family.listu
