Thread: The Island (Um and EvaRose)

Hn? Katherine raised an eyebrow when the odd woman seemed to....giggle? Did she find this funny? What the hell kind of person found someone in distress funny? The girls expression became something of a frown for a few moments, though it shifted to one of surprise when the crows all began to caw loudly. What were they even doing here? Normally birds avoided people, flew away from them. Come to think of it, what were crows even doing on an island like this? Crows didn't live in tropical climates like this did they? Maybe some had been shipwrecked here or something and somehow survived....of course that didn't explain the giant one. No....only her theory about this being a hallucination could explain that. But could you feel pain in a hallucination? The pain in her head felt very real...or was it just dreams where you couldn't feel pain? Damn...it was still hard to think entirely clearly....she probably had a mild concussion at the very least, clouding her mind. The plane...? Katherine slowly turned around to glance at it, not noticing Diros raising a hand, though the sudden eerie silence was noticed. A moment later Katherine watched helplessly as the waves picked up, beating at the plane and beginning to move it. Ah! No! She took a few steps towards the water line, but stopped as she watched the plane seemingly pulled away, beginning to sink to a place beyond her reach. What? She turned suddenly as Diros spoke again. Got to go...? What...? Are you trying to say that you did that? That's impossible She frowned again, that had to be a coincidence. The plane had been unstable as it was, it had only been a matter of time before something like that happened, this girl was just trying to take advantage of the timing was all. If she laughed at someone being stranded, then trying to play herself off as some kind of water controlling weirdo was exactly the kind of thing she'd probably do. Normally Katherine was somewhat withdrawn and meek, but she had come to realise that was the reason her boyfriend and best friend had been able to walk all over her, why she had never seen that something like that could happen. When she had set foot on that plane she had decided she wasn't going to be like that anymore. Don't think for a second I believe you did that. Now just....tell me where I can call for help to get off this island ok? Katherine's tone had sounded very mildly threatening and most certainly defiant, though it was fairly clear she lacked much in the way of ability to back up that tone. A hundred years? That's impossible, you can't be a day over 25 This woman was getting crazier by the second. Every word she spoke just made her seem more and more strange. Maybe this island was some kind of mental hospital for the super rich? But once again, Katherine's eyes were drawn back to the giant crow. Every time she came up with a rational explanation for this place, that damn thing threw a spanner in her thinking, and this damned headache was keeping her from doing any further thinking. What? Fruit? What're you talking about? Katherine's frown deeped as she watched the woman take a step forward, doing something with her foot in the sand. More delusions? What was she talking about? A special tree? A tree would take years to grow, if it even grew at all in the sand like this. Sure, Katherine was no botanist, but even she knew a fruit tree needed fertile soil to grow, not sand. What happened next though...Katherine couldn't believe. She gasped, stumbling back as she watched the tree growing from...from...nothing! Katherine wracked her mind, trying to think of some, any, logical explanation for this, but she couldn't find one. Hallucination....had to be....all of this was a hallucination...it was the only thing that made sense. Katherine grabbed her head, eyes wide as she shook it, trying desperately, willing herself to wake up, but nothing happened besides the pain in her head getting worse. You...you provide? They don't... She winced and shook her head again before looking up at Diros once more. The jungle...? She glanced away for a moment, looking to the treeline, then back to Diros. Why not? What am I supposed to do? Just...sit here on the beach for the rest of my life?! She growled, her temper flaring slightly. She didn't even notice the slight bulge in Diros' clothing, nor did the name seem to mean anything to her.
