2026-10-19 06:01:28While I was still contemplating the unknown, the notebook was passed around. Euphie and the others studied it closely before it found its way back to me. Looking at their faces, it would appear that the contents had left them with the same concern that it had sparked in me, and we were all feeling the same way—gloomy. The map was intricately drawn and the places around the island were well marked out. Unfortunately, however, it was no longer of any use as we had already explored most of

The clamor outside grew louder, and all of us reached the same conclusion almost simultaneously. They've finally arrived. Their heads spun toward me, a question dancing in their eyes as they waited for me to say something.So I stood, one hand coolly straightening out the wrinkles on my clothing, and headed for the exit."Follow me. It's our time to shine."The girls stared at my broad back for a moment before exchanging looks, a smile growing on their faces. As we stepped outside, a chill night-time breeze blew past as if in greeting. The moon above had a strange silvery glow, calling to us, pulling our focus for that brief moment before it started.Then, a rustle drew my attention and I turned to see two figures walking out of the darkness. With hands on the guns at their sides, they marched up to us."What are you staring at?" one of the pirates said, unholstering his gun. Waving it in the air, he ordered, "Walk!"When Euphie saw Elsa's brows twitch

"You, go and inform Skylar of what Rosie's told us!" one man commanded, pointing at a younger man. He looked to be the oldest among all the pirates present, and it seemed like he was in charge when neither Skylar nor Francis were present. The younger man he had instructed shot off like a rocket for Skylar's tent."I will stay here with these two and keep guard. The rest of you, comb the camp for Hans! Report back in half an hour if you don't find him!" he continued, jabbing his index finger imperiously at another two men. He had selected two muscular young men as his fellow guards, and the three of them now slung their AK-47s over to their fronts, instead of leaving them over their backs. It was clear that the three of them were ready to take action and shoot Nicholas if he so much as twitched or breathed the wrong way."You planned this, you bastard! Forrest Campbell, you're going to wish you'd never met me," Nicholas fumed, his eyes shooting daggers at me from where he s

The next day, Yvonne shook me awake. There was a troubled look on her face, but the chance to ask her why she looked upset went by unused. As I squinted blearily at her, rubbing at my eyes, I heard a commotion outside the tent. They must have found Stefan, I thought. Let's see how Rosie holds up under pressure."Someone's been murdered," Euphie muttered, lacing up her shoes. The tent was large enough that we could leave our shoes at the entrance to the tent, as it was far enough from the bedrolls for it to be hygienic. Her gaze fell on my shoes, which were unusually muddy, as though I had stepped in wet soil the previous day."Fucking hell, Forrest," she whispered. Yvonne was still sitting next to me, and she raised her hand to her mouth, looking horrified. Both Euphie and Yvonne's eyes were wide with dismay as they looked between my shoes and me, coming to their own realizations about the matter."What is it? Why does everyone look so stunned?" Elsa asked. I turned a

My knife whistled through the air, singing for blood and destruction. As its sharp edge pierced through his body, Stefan’s eyes went wide with surprise. The sudden swing had left him howling in agony.Clearly, Stefan, who had lived a far too simple and idiotic life, had failed to foresee that I would stay true to my words and shove my dark blade right into him, severing flesh and nearly cutting through bone.Amidst the eerie silence that followed, only the sound of blood dripping onto the ground was heard. The soil beneath my feet bore witness to what I had just done, turning a ruby red in response.Moments later, Stefan, who had finally come out of shock, shouted through gritted teeth, “Y-You’re asking for death now!” He glared at me, eyes threatening to cut through my very soul, saying, “I swear to god, I’ll make you pay twice—no, tenfold!”“Oh, will you?” I waved off his mediocre threat, and flashed h

There was a sharp scream. My head spun toward it but just as I did, the voice had become muffled. I closed my eyes, listening for it again. If not for the absolute silence in this particular area, I never would have heard what came next.“Stop! Don’t come any closer…”“I’m begging you. Please don’t. Please!”“Ah! Let go! Let go of me!”Who is that?Despite homing in on the yells, I was still unable to put a face to the voice. Aside from Euphie, Yvonne and Elsa, the only other women in this camp were Rosie and Felicia. Those two were always hanging around Nicholas so I couldn't imagine them out here by themselves. A frown found its way on my face as I set the frying pan down and moved as quickly as I could, chasing after that voice.The mysterious fruits had worked their magic on me. I was able to move much faster and go on for far longer than I normally could, so cutting through the distance t

"You're just tempting us, you fucking bitches!" another voice yelled this one prompting shouts of agreement and anger from the other men. The first ring of pirates around us closed in even tighter, leaving only about a meter between us and them.Fuck! The situation was going from bad to worse. Why did you have to threaten him, Elsa? I thought desperately, putting down my own fritter and jumping to my feet, too. If all the pirates—there were about twenty of them in total—swarmed us, we would be dead meat. There was no way we could shoot each of them dead before being injured, especially since they each had their own guns, too."You dare call us fucking bitches for eating something we found and prepared on our own?" I yelled back, trying to show that Elsa was in the right here. "We found the damn cassava! We put in all the work and prepared it on our own! We didn't take a single thing from you! Go back to eating the damn rations Skylar gave you all!"The pir
