Time - 8pm at night

Setting -
Posted Image

The fire crackles with an uproar as smoke bellows from the embers and into the still and cool air before ascending high into the trees and then escaping into the sky like a beast does from a cage. I let out a yawn as I sit in a tree by myself and watch Zane and Paul throw sticks and other debris into the fire to keep it from dying while Soren sets up torch like objects of fire around the perimeter to keep away predators. That was an interesting thing he did, I had to be sure to ask him about it later. A cool breeze whips through the dead of night as it whistles through the leaves.

"First night out eh? I wonder how Walter and Zach are holding up without me." The thought finds itself swimming in my brain as I continue to watch my group below setting up camp. The fire was set and now Paul and Soren were now setting up sleeping tents made of large sticks and stones. Soren looks out in my direction, knowing he couldn't see me through the cluster of branches and the darkness of night. But he still could feel out I was watching him.

"Hey Drake are you sleeping in the trees tonight? If not we could really use some help setting up camp." He yells to me as he drops down several large sticks, his physical strength had vastly improved since I first met him all those years ago. He was almost as strong if not slightly more then I was when we were trapped on that other island. I let out a chuckle and reply.

"No I'm good up here, you guys don't need tents anyways, it's not freezing or anything out here and there are no mosquitos as far as I know." I yell back down still hidden from view. With that I sit down on a thick branch and remember how much things have changed with my relations with the group......

Several years ago back on the first CF cruise......

"Thanks for the ride dad. I speak to myself as I step out my dads car with a duffle bag in each hand and a one strap book bag strapped across my chest as I walk over to the group of people getting ready for the cruise. I get on the edge of the platform before a young dark skinned boy around the age of 15 approaches me and speaks.

"Yo son! You must be Drake or Black Ice! Funny... I expected you to be big and scary looking, not wiry and stylish." he speaks with a hint of surprise as he looks at my black,red, and grey shirt with a picture of a cross running inside and through a skull then down at my black boots and pants. He prepares to speak again while I just look at him with a sense of annoyance.

"Anyways my name is Paul." He speaks reaching out to shake my hand. I give a slight snicker at his name before brushing him aside and walking past everyone else and boarding the ship. As I walk I see all kinds of people and shapes out my eyes, the memebers of a forum. One was tall and slightly bigger than me with bright red hair, another resembled Johnny Depp, one was slim and had a pretty cool name by my standards, Soren... pretty sweet name if you asked me. Another resembled a lot of my cousins nephew. I walk past them all not saying a word before handing my ticket to the attendant and boarding the boat. I walk down a corridor and run into a few pretty girls. They walk past me with a smile as they looked me up and down. I gave a quick wave with my head as i arrived to my door. I drop my bags and open the door with my key before picking them back up and tossing them onto the side.

"Well a few weeks of fun I guess..." I mumble as I turn off the lights and put my headphones in listening to some T.I. on the radio before going to bed early as the boat sounded the horn and departed from the docks.

2 hours later......... A knock on the door awakens me....

I open the door still in my pants and boots but without my shirt as I am greeted by a young girl who looked my age. She was fair skinned with short brown hair and a soft featured face coupled with deep hazel eyes and a nice frame. She was wearing shorts and a tank top under a denim jacket.

"Yea what do you want?" I say oblivious to the fact I was shirtless. She blushed for a second before speaking.

"Ummmmm I was just coming to say that we are having dinner in the main hall now and my mom wanted me to come and get you." She said still looking at me. I reply groggily.

"And who is your mom supposed to be?" I say looking at her eyes. She had some damn pretty ones......

"Oh no one important..... she just wanted me to make some friends and she happened to see you stayed near our room so she figured we could be friends if I knocked on your door..." she finishes speaking. A long silence follows before I let out a laugh and reply again.

"Is your mom by any chance white?" I laugh forcing out the words. I expected her to be offended but instead she laughed with me at the question.

"Hahaha yea she is! Your funny." she replies back with a smile. I shrug before going back in my room and coming out with an all black shirt on and a my necklace. I put on both items and yawn.

"Alright lets go..." I laugh as I step out my room and walk with her down to the main hall. Her name was Bree and she was the one that warmed me up to everyone on the boat that day..... to this day I still wonder about what happened to her after the cruise.....

Fast foward to the first Island we were stranded on...."

"Drake why are you leaving us?!" walter yells as I leave the campsite for the first time. I didn't reply, this jungle and survival in general has one rule. Only the strong survive, I didn't need the help of them to keep my own self alive and well, and I was going to prove it. I disappear into the brush as I get used to the title of being a deserter.

Fast foward....

"Drake what the fuck are you doing!" Paul yells right as I grapple with Zachary and start to overpower him. Soren rushes over to where I punch him in the head with my right arm before grabbing his waste and throwing him into a staggering Zach as they both topple to the ground.... I had gone mad.... dehydration and hunger drove me on the brink of insanity as I desperastely attacked my old friends in an attempt to rob them of their supplies.. eventually I got outnumbered and was forced to retreat from their camp.... another failed attempt.....

Fast Foward...."

Theropod surprises me and manages to defeat me in the end. I ponder how I could allow myself to get beaten and even worse bound by someone physically weaker than me as Theropod drags me across the dirt and back to camp.....

.....................................................................................

"DRAKE WAKE UP!"

I snap awake from my sleeping space and look up dazed into the sky. it was daylight, what started as a daydream wound up in me having a full vivid dream of recollections of all my memories over the past few years about my advancement in life and my connections with my once only internet based friends. I stand up popping my knuckles before dropping from the tree and landing in charred dirt used to put out the fire. Soren and paul were over drinking their water bottles while Zane ran over to me.

"You went to sleep pretty fast last night dude." He laughs as he tosses me some meet he brought from camp. I eat it ravenously before throwing away the bone. A cool wind greets my face waking me up a little more. i call the group together for a meeting.

"Ok guys today marks the real start of this expedition. There will be no complaining about training or walking. I don't want to hear about any fighting amongst any of us unless I demand it for a training session. We walk during the day and sleep during the night. Should we fall behind schedule or something goes wrong we shall plan accordingly. Any questions?" I finish and await. Soren raises his hand.

"Yes Soren?" I speak just as a memory of me attacking him without mercy on that island all those years ago flashes through my mind. I quickly toss the thought out of my mind. Paul caught on to my second of trouble and spoke.

"You ok Drake?" He asked with worry. I nod.

"Yes I am fine." I speak again just as a flashback of me leaping at Wild from the trees ready to kill him without a second thought drills into my skull. I immediately turn my gaze from him and stare at the ground. Soren soon lowers his hand as if saying forget about his question. Meanwhile Zane gives a look of confusion at me before speaking.

"Alright guys lets head out. We got a busy day ahead of us." He laughs taking out his iron katana and cutting away the thick brush in front of us creating a trail. Soren and Paul follow behind as I trail behind as expected. i stare at the ground as they get farther and farther away from me.

"Can I truly be redeemed for my past actions?" I think to myself as more memories of all the scars both mentally and physically that I gave to Walter, Paul, Zach, Soren, James, and everybody else ripples through my mind. i spit at my feet before catching up to the group, shutting away all the memories.

"The past is the past...." I mumble as i walk...........

2 hours later....

the group arrives and looks out into a grassland like area... and the sight that greets our eyes immediately instills fear into our hearts..... even me....


To be continued..............................

It doesn't mean shit regardless. There's no age limit to parents trying to make their kids have friends.

not really, I mean she's 19, practically an adult and you have her mom telling her to go knock on some creepy dude's door for the sake of making friends?
