Crash-landed On An Island With Nine Beauties

"What are we supposed to do?"

Though it was Allison who found her voice first, but the rest of the girls like her was fidgeting at the sight of the big white wolf which had just walked into the living room. "What's happening?"

One of the two girls who had gone to the kitchen to prepare food walked out. As soon as she saw the wolf, she almost fell back, but was held up by her mate.

"For how long would we still consider the poor wolf as our enemy?"

Ayisha, followed by Jada and Claire walked into the living room, after the wolf.

"Did that bitch just call this scary guy a poor wolf?"

Ayisha heard one of the girls say, but she didn't really care who the owner of the words was.

"What are we supposed to do with it?"

Another girl asked.

"Look, she has a plant in her mouth. What do you think that means?"

Mira who was down suddenly showed interest. There was a strange ray of hope which lit up her gloomy face.

"Calm down, Mira. Things seems to be working our way now. But let's hope that what the wolf brought would work magic and bring our Laurette back to us." Ayisha urged.

"Our dear Laurette."

Evelyn nodded, her eyes making a pity show. Herself and the wolf exchanged a quick glance.

The wolf then walked towards Evelyn, reaching out her mouth to Evelyn who screamed and ran to hide behind another girl.

"Help... help... she wants to bite me."

Ayisha ran to stand in the way of the wolf. The wolf looked up at Evelyn, disappointed. Then she dropped the plant on the floor and turned to walk towards the door.

"What are we supposed to do with the leaves? Make her eat them?"

"How could you even say that? Are you dumb? Really? Make her eat it? Is she herbivore?"

"We don't have time for this."

Ayisha paid attention to none of them. Instead she went to collect one of the bowls made from the coconut back. She plucked the leaves of the plant first, then began to mash the leaves till she had made something liquid out of them.

"Please help her up a little bit."

She ordered and Mira pushed Laurette's head up a bit.

"I'll feed her."

Mira not only volunteered but reached out immediately to collect the coconut back. Ayisha knew too well to argue with her on such a delicate and urgent stance.

"I'll help you hold up her head then ---"

Mira knocked Ayisha's hand off,

"Leave it! I'll do everything myself."

Couple of the girls disprove with Mira's sudden reactions, and couldn't hide it. They allowed it to spread across their faces.

Ayisha took two steps back out of caution and watched as Mira carry out the expected.

Though it was quite a difficult thing for only one person to do, Mira found her way around it. And in the blink of an eye, she had made Laurette drink the potion.

As soon as the potion travelled down into the system of the weak Laurette, she coughed twice, opened her eyes then closed it again.

"She just opened her eyes. I saw her open her eyes right now! Did you see it?"

Mira's eyes had shock seeped in them. She was pointing at Ayisha when she asked the question. Ayisha nodded.

"I saw her open her eyes."

She repeated. She began to shake Laurette slowly,

"Please open your eyes again. Please do... please..."

The manner at which she shook her sister increased, from slowly to roughly and wildly.

"Please, please do..."

She kept shaking Laurette as though she would --

"Will we just stand here and watch her do that?"

Jada called.

"Mira, take it easy. Give her a little time. If drinking the stuff made her open her eyes, then we have a hope."

"Hope? Hope?"

Mira quizzed, searching for something quite unkown in Ayisha's face. There was desperation eating into the depth of her facial expressions. "Wake up... Laurette... please..."

She started to tear up, shaking her sister violently. She didn't seem to care that someone was watching her anymore.

"Enough of this shit."

Claire lost it and walked briskly towards her. She bent and almost grabbed Mira's arm. Suddenly, Laurette's body was violently pushed towards Claire's chest, and out of the former's mouth came a puke. And into Claire's face it poured.

"What was that?"

Claire who wasn't expecting that muttered. She was even finding it quite difficult to stand back up.

"I said what was that, you bitch!!!"

Her voice became even loud, but when a part of the black blood trailed off one of her eyes, she noticed Laurette sitting up.

"Ahh, fuck... my beautiful face. You ruined my beautiful face. You fucking --"

Evelyn rushed to Claire to lead her out but Claire pushed her away. Claire led herself out of the castle to wash her face.

"Oh my God, Laurette..."

"Are you alright?"

"Where does it ache?"

"Are you back to us?"

None of the girls could afford to entertain the distraction Claire had just created. They'd go bankrupt.

Or say the realization of Laurette's consciousness regain was strong enough to trammel the distraction.

"Let her be... don't touch her."

Mira who found it too good to be true hit, knocked and shoved away hands trying to touch Laurette. She helped her sister sit up and rest her back. "Let her rest for a while. Nobody should speak to her."

Even though the manner at which she had said the words was quite terrible, yet the girls could see sense in Mira's words.

The only way to get any word out of Laurette was to let her be herself for a while. Else they would be sending her back to where she just came out of. "Do you want to lie down? Are you sure you can sit by yourself for long?"

"I can..."

Two words. Just two words. But those two words which dropped from Laurette's mouth seemed longer than a urban Chinese novel. How much the girls cherished the Twain! The couple sent joy, O spreading it across their faces.

"This is good and relieving. We can be fine now!"

Ayisha announced. All the girls looked at her.

"Now that Laurette is awake, I have something to say."

Jada raised her voice.

"Me too."

Lisa added. The other girls couldn't hide their surprises.

"I don't think this is the best time, let's wait till --"

"I don't have strength but I have ears."

Came from Laurette. Mira was seen smiling like a burnt goat. She was so happy and nervous at the same time. You could tell that she had a million and one questions to ask her sister but couldn't bring herself to making the desire into words.

"Y'all heard her. So, no special treatment anymore!"

Jada declared.

"Jada!"

Evelyn spanked but Jada rolled her eyes,

"You have no say in this, cry baby."

Lisa didn't give Evelyn time to act, she came on,

"Should I go first, Jada or you would --"

"I'm older than you. So go first. I'll let you, as a senior."

Few of the girls grumbled, cussing Jada under their breaths. Lisa started.

"I was not going to say it, but then it would be only my trouble. Why keep the trouble to myself when I could share it?"

She looked from one girl to the other. She probably was surprised that none of them was attacking her or something. But even though their words couldn't say it, their faces did.

"Everyone was quick to assume that Laurette foamed in the mouth and slumped because of the contact with the Cannibals."

She took another pause. She seemed to love and cherish the suspense she was creating.

"What if she is pregnant? For Damien. I mean, he's had sex with almost all of us and it's been over a month since we landed on this---"

"Bullshit! Total bullshit! Impossible!!! How could she!!!"

Claire who had suddenly and unjustifiably flared up, walked to Laurette.

"When did she walk in?"

"Is it true? Are you really pregnant for him? Are you? Tell me ---"

Claire barked at Laurette.

"Damien this... Damien that... are y'all dumb or what!!!"

Jada raised her voice and all attention was supplanted on her. Even if Claire wanted to keep up with the act, she just couldn't. Not anymore. Not at that moment.

"Nobody talks about that loser anymore! Nobody!!!"

"Hey, bitch! Say whatever you will but don't call him a loser. Never again in your plastic life!!!"

Evelyn was clothed in her own raiment of fury. Noticing that none of the girls disputed what Evelyn had said, Jada took a pause.

"Nobody talks about Damien! Not again!!"

Jada continued as though she didn't care. The girls gave her a listen.

"Okay, let's assume and agree that almost all of you have a thing for him... but don't you think at all?! Are y'all foolish?!!!"

A pause and continuation.

"Look at where this has brought us. Look at what the search for him had earned us!!! First, Laurette had to give a Cannibal blowjob to make him climb the tree... what happened after that, she foamed and

almost died."

"My sister will never --"

"Shut up the fuck up, Mira. Shut your trap and grow up!!"

Jada walked into a position that all could see.

"What next? What next would the search for him make us do? Sleep with the Cannibals? Rape a lion? Or... oh, we won't come to our senses until one of us dies!!!"

She took in a deep breath as though she was striving to box the frustration instead of let it out.

"Listen to me..."

Her voice lower,

"Not because I'm good or perfect but as a member of the BMX group."

Her tone softened,

"We'll go check on the Cannibal who is making the boat. If we are lucky and he was able to make something good, we would paddle that boat, learn how to... and make our fucking way out of this shit hole!!!"

She looked from one girl to the other.

"Enough is enough! No searching for

him anymore. If he cherishes us like

y'all claim, he would come himself, but whether or not he does shouldn't be our fucking focus anymore. Our focus should be on leaving this island."

"We get the boat and leave. By the time we stop at several stops we'll find someone who would help us."

"And that begins right away."

Jada put a full stop to her argument. The whole place was more silent than a cemetery at the middle of the night. Silent and creepy.

"She's right."

Claire spoke up. Ayisha's eyes widened.

"I think so too."

"Me too."

One after the other, the girls seconded. Till there was no one else left, save the recently back-to-live Laurette...
