Chapter 117 This Island Is Not So Simple

It was not the comfiest of beds, but it was the only one they had for the night. The good part was that the house was up there, on the tree, and that gave them an extra sensation of safety.

Deep down, they knew if someone or something wanted to climb and get to them, there was nothing they could do to avoid it, but the tree house gave them a false sense of protection.

The night was chilly. Damian and Aurora slept together, covering their bodies using some blankets they found inside the bags. Magnus was alone, but he also got a blanket, and he was more resistance to changes in the environment.

But despite the night being cold, when the sun hit its highest peak, the heat was too much for them to handle! Damian woke up feeling sweaty as the sun was hitting directly at him.

"Wake up, everyone," Damian said.

Aurora and Magnus woke up soon after, and they were both sweating with the heat. That was expected to happen on a tropical island.

"Maybe it is beach time? Woo-hoo!" Magnus yelled, smiling like a kid.

They were stranded on an island, but Magnus looked quite calm for someone in that situation. Damian admired that, and he also was confident in leaving that place with his life, eventually.

Aurora was the one most concerned about their situation, but after thinking about the crystal clear water and the coconuts near the beach, she could not resist it.

"Let's go there. We are all screwed, so why not enjoy our time here?" she said.

All of them spent some time on the beach, but they went in another direction and not the one where the plane fell.

"Why are we not checking the plane again?" Aurora asked.

"The things that may be useful there are all burnt, so it does not matter if we go there today or tomorrow. Also, we need to explore more of the island, so returning there is not ideal."

"Is there a chance for a boat to pass through here and rescue us?" she asked.

Damian was not that optimistic, and Magnus shared the same thought: "the plan was fast as fuck, and went toward the ocean for hours. There's no way a boat will pass through here, at least not so soon."

It was a sad truth, but one they had to accept. Damian was sure of one thing. "someone wanted all the superhumans on that plane dead, and we were the unlucky ones to go along. Were they after us, or someone else who was on the plane?"

Magnus had a machete in hand, cutting the vines and the bushes, opening a path for them. He was focused on doing that, but listened to every word Damian said.

"I think someone else was the target. But the question is, was one of the three who survived, or did it die with the crash?" Magnus said.

They kept opening a path in the vegetation when needed. It took around thirty minutes for them to reach the island's coast. There, they could have a better view, looking at the horizon.

"This island is big," Damian said.

The length of the beach was massive, and that meant the island was big, too. Another thing they looked for was to look at the ocean to see if there was another island, or anything, yet there was none.

It was just the ocean, as blue as ever. Whales would jump out of the water in the distance, creating a beautiful view.

"A beautiful place, but we are trapped here. What can we do?" Aurora said.

"We can only explore the island to its fullest and survive here until having time to escape. Also, do any of you have a signal on your phone?" Damian said.

Not even Damian believed they would have a signal in that place, but it did not hurt to ask. Both Aurora and Magnus checked, and sure thing, their phone was useless.

"Let's forget about this and enjoy!"

They decided to enjoy the beach and did not think about things they could not change at that moment.

Aurora was the first, changing her clothes to a bikini. Damian and Magnus were both using shorts.

Magnus was the first to jump on the water, going as high as 10 meters with just the power of his legs, diving into the ocean.

Damian used his Telekineses to pull some coconuts out of the trees for him and Aurora to drink, taking a sun bath.

"This feels like vacation all over again!" Aurora said.

They placed some towels on the sand, laying on them to have a sun bath while drinking coconut water.

"It does not feel that bad to be here," Damian said, moving closer to Aurora, kissing her.

Their tongues met, doing circular movements. But their good time did not last long.

Two survivors from the plane crash came out of the forest, startling them.

"You? Are you following us?" Damian asked.

"N-No, please, hear us out!"

Magnus, who was swimming, noticed when the two people appeared, so he left the water as quickly as possible, meeting up with Damian and Aurora.

"What are you doing here?" Magnus said.

"Someone killed our friend!‌ Remember we were three people? A person with tribal tattoos killed him!"

The two survivors were one man and one woman. They were staying together after the plane crash, and the other man who was with them died.

"Are you telling the truth?" Damian said, getting up from the towel.

"Yes, we are!"

"Show it to me, then I will believe."

"How can we show it? We don't have the body of our friend. The tribal man took it."

"Just think about the event."

They did not understand what Damian meant, but the woman who saw the murder tried to remember seeing the scenes all over again inside her mind.

Damian went close to her, touching her head. He activated his mental abilities, seeing the scene as if he was there with her when it happened.

"She's telling the truth. A fucking tribal man killed the other superhuman," Damian turned around to face Aurora and Magnus, "we are not alone in this place!"
