Day Four Part Two

They walked until noon around the island so I would lose track were I was. Slowly an EPS walked out from the foliage. He was ten centimeters taller than everyone else. He wore a crown made of leaves and twigs. It was finely woven with silver. He placed his hand in the middle of my forehead and started chanting in a slow pace.
He chanted for thirty minutes than said in a deliberate tone, and then at the end of the chant he said “are you one of us!”
I was shocked, hesitantly, I replied in their rough language, “I am one of you.”
He yelled something I didn’t quiet understand, but I got the just of it.
The last thing I remembered was a stranger tingling then nothing.

Day Four Part One

I woke up surrounded by EPS’s. I was freaked out and tried to scream but found my mouth gagged. In their rough language, one of them said, “it is time.” I was really scared, but I tried not to let show on my face. I think they could tell though.
They walked aimlessly till noon.

Day Three Part Two

I awoke from what seemed liked a bad sleep. Suddenly I felt a jolt run through my body. Slowly I looked over my shoulder and saw the back of an aliens head. Suddenly a tentacle on the top of its head. Eventually I realised that it was one of its eyes. The drug had made dieresis and slow witted, so instead of screaming and trying to break free, I stared at the alien and smiled. It was strange, almost like I knew this was going to happen. I somehow knew I was going to benefit. So, I lay there, I the canopy, on the shoulder of some bizarre creature who was jumping from tree to tree and it didn’t bother me one bit. When the drug wore off, I was frightened but I didn’t to flee, I just lay there, taking it all in.
It was almost dark when they stopped, they had going back and forth so that if they freed me, I would have no idea were they lived. I had begun to understand their rough language and started talking to the tiny alien that was carrying me. I learnt that they average a height of 1.2 metres and only eat the animals that are already dead and use a liquid to restore the rotten bodies till they’re edible. It was actually pretty good. Then we had some sort of brew made of plants and some secret ingredient that t hey refused to tell. It was all together a very frightening first three days, and I didn’t believe it could get any odder.

Day Three Part One

When I awoke I noticed Josiah wasn't lying next to me. I searched around the camp but when I didn’t find him I decided to continue on walking up to most westerly point of my island. Slowly I progressed up the side of island. It was tedious walking by myself but it allowed me to think about all the things that had happened over the last two days. I began to feel guilty about endangering everyone’s lives by saying I knew how to fly the plane when really I didn’t. I kept thinking, man I’m lucky.
Whilst wondering about what could have happened I noticed a lot of glowing red dots. Then I group of aliens pounced on me. They moved quick as flash and jumped the 20 metre distanced with ease and landed no less than half a metre, some even landed in the trees above me. Then they grabbed me and bound me in some sort of rope and jabbed with some sort of poison on the end. That was the thing I remembered before I blacked out.

Day Two Part Two

It was noon when a group of kids came into sight. They had been missing since the crash so it was a relief to see them. Not all of our class was there to see them safe but there was a healthy number of kids. They looked happy to see most of the class just sitting there.
It was roughly one o’clock when we started hiking up the mountain. We followed a stream that was going down the side of the mountain. We hiked for a while just following the small stream when we came across a small hole in the side of the mountain. Leon, Grayson and the mutated Andrew decided to take the chance and crawl through the tunnel, leaving me and Josiah to set-up camp.
Me and Josiah went about collecting fire wood and starting a fire, and all the other necessary for a proper camp.
It was half an hour later until three gleaming silver men burst through the hole carrying two chests. They rummaged through the chests and passed Josiah solid gold amulet in the shape of the eye of Horus and then proceeded to chuck me a skull that symbolized the Mayan symbol for death.
Whilst eating our diner of left over yesterdays lunch we spotted a gleaming silver pyramid floating 200 metres above us. Grayson, Leon and Andrew all flew up there and circled it to see if there was any entrance. When no entrance was apparent Grayson touched it and got such in, followed closely by Leon and Andrew. When they didn’t come out I was worried but I knew that there was nothing I could do. Slowly I drifted into a dreamless sleep.

Day Two Part One

I woke up, I realised I hadn’t seen Grayson after he had gone scouting around the mountain. To my relief I saw him lying on the ground outside his tent door. I hadn’t seen Andrew since the crash but noticed his tent pitched on the edge of the camp. I ate a packet of nuts I had in my lunch box from the previous day. Slowly I slipped back into the darkness of my sleep. When I woke up it was close to eleven and I saw Andrew limping towards his tent. His leg was limp and lagging behind him. His head was larger than before and when I caught a glimpse of his face I saw a large tooth.

We went into the bush, just me, Andrew, Leon, Grayson and Josiah. We advanced at a reasonable pace. Soon we came across thick undergrowth and went in single file. Josiah and Grayson both pulled out machetes while I pulled out my axe for anything to hard. Our progress slowed and the vines seemed to be creeping closer. Expecting nothing no one really cared.

Then they struck. The green vine curled around me. I caught a glimpse of Andrew sticking onto Grayson’s leg with suckers that were on his arm and Josiah going into the canopy.

It didn’t take long to reach the top, but when we did we were in for a shock, at the top there was a gaping hole, which was opening and closing constantly, the vine pulled me up and dropped me into the hole. I couldn’t breathe and I felt the wall closing in pressing the small amount of air I had left out my lungs. Seconds later I blacked out to be rudely awaken by a knock on the ground. I caught my breathe, and wiped green slime which I assumed was saliva off me and bolted towards the beach.
