N/A: Short chapter just to tell you that I'm still alive.

Chapter 3

It was about an hour after they had eaten, Alex was sitting on the beach that was near their campsite, the leaf with Leilani's drawing in his hands. His gaze switching from the leaf to moon's glow across the ocean and back again, something about all this made him very uncomfortable. Something was very wrong with this island, and how was it that he had gotten here? He couldn't remember much of that day but he knew for sure that there hadn't been a storm, so how could he possibly get so far from the main island chain?

'I could ask Lei, but I don't wanna make her uncomfortable... But I have to figure out how I got here! Sigh... I guess there's no choice.' While lost in his thoughts, he didn't notice the tribal girl walk. Humming softly, she gently plopped down in the sand next to him, startling him slightly.

"Oh! Hi, Lei."

"Nnnnnn..." The quiet noise she made seemed to settle his rattled nerves and confused brain, he traced a finger over the markings on the leaf before turning to face her.

"Lei, do happen to know how I got here?" The girl quickly nodded in reply and paused for a second, trying to figure out a way to explain it to him, her written language was choppy and slightly distorted at best so she need a different way. Alex watched her intently as she sat there thinking and suddenly she started drawing in the sand by the light of the moon. She drew up a larger version of what was on the leaf, this time adding Alex near the islands and a little ways of a group of people; labeling his picture Alex and over the group she wrote the hawaiian word for evil. Leilani pointed at Alex and made motions in the air with her hand to show him surfing then switched over and pointed to the "evil" group, making motions like they were casting a spell on Alex. Pointing back at Alex she made it as if he fell asleep while the "evil" group started to sneak up on him, then she drew a little picture of a girl that Alex knew had to be Lei; she then made grass roots grow out of the sand to entangle the "evil" group while she made motions to show that she saved Alex from them.

"You saved me from someone...?" The girl nodded slowly, rather embarrassed as she looked away. Alex felt an emense amount of peace around her and it was as if he could tell she was speaking the truth.

"If you saved me then who were those guys that tried to get me?" He watched Lei write out in badly written english in the sand that he figured out to say, "Sinister minions."
