(Castaway) Jess: Shipwrecked and Single - Part 5

Sul Sul!

Jess here from the Queen Solomon shipwreck. 

I'm still on that island I've washed up on... but I have hope now... to return to my land... although... life here isn't so bad... even... I'm IN LOVE with Timoti Fekitoa...

 Finally Timoti and I have kissed.
Oh. I think I'm REALLY REALLY in love.

The Chief's wife hands me a weaved sail for my raft. 

Now I can soon return home. 

But...

DO I EVEN WANT TO RETURN HOME NOW?

The island isn't so bad... 

... and I don't want to leave Timoti...

... aaah, Timoti...

I think I need a good long sleep and think about everything.

In the morning my decision is clear. 

I want to stay on the island. 

My life is here now. 

With Timoti. 

So I seek him. 

But then the little girl tells me... 

... he is sick... 

... and he accuses ME. 

"I'm sick because of you. 

Your bad ways bring sickness to us. 

The volcano is unhappy."

When I want to hug him and explain, 

he pushes me away. 

And the water has turned into flowing lava...
THE VOLCANO ERUPTS!!!

Even Chief Manave accuses me now.
"The volcano speaks. 
You bring unhappiness and sickness. 
The volcano is unhappy. 
The illness is his punishment."


"No, Chief Manave..."
I say. 
"It's just an illness. 
I had it too. 
And I got cured. 
Now I'm immune. 
Let me show you."

"I can be near Timoti and not get sick."

"I can even kiss him and not get sick."

"So bring us that medicine you took!"

"I don't have it anymore... 
it took all. 
Unfortunately...

But I will go and get medicine."

"How?"


"I don't know. 

But I will heal Timoti. 

And you. 

You all. 

I promise."

"Oh, and... 

I WILL STAY HERE."


"YOU MAKE ME VERY HAPPY,
JESS.
VERY HAPPY.

COUGH...

PLEASE HURRY..."




I run home and attach the sail to my raft.

Where am I going?

I have no idea.

But I know I need to find help... I MUST...

My panic auments as I hear the sounds of the volcano erupting,
the Professor coming near me and fire falling from the sky.

My sail catches on fire!!!!!!


NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

No, no, no!!!!


My sail!!!!!!


I need to find help for Timoti!!!!


How am I ever....

How am I ...

Nooooo....

The sail burns down and is lost.


































"Hello, Jess."



"Hello, Professor."




"Your sail burned down?"


"Yes... and I need to get help for the tribe... 
they are all sick... 
very sick... 
they will die soon... 

I also almost died... 

...but I cured myself thanks to a medicine... 

I need to get medicine..."


"I see, I see..."


"But how to get medicine?"


"Hmmm, hmmm..."



"And do you know of any place I can get a new sail?

Oh my God, I'm so... so... "


"Calm down, darling. 
Calm down. 
Please. 

You need calm now. 

Okay. 

I have an idea. 

There is an old abandoned research station not far from here..."


"Like, WHATTTTT???? AND YOU TELL ME THIS NOW?????"

"I'm sorry, dear. The age. 
You understand. 




Anyway...



... you might find a sail there."



"And where is this research station?"



"You have to walk over very hot stones..."

"No problem, Professor. 

I've walked over burning fire for Timoti already. 

I'm willing to do it again."

This will do, I think...

"Good sail, dear.

Even better than the weaved one, I guess. 


BUT WHERE ARE YOU GOING?"





"Actually, I have no idea."


"There is an island not far from here..."


"WHAT??????

Like, how much more do you know about this island you never told me?"

"I'm sorry dear... the age makes me forget... 

listen... 

I have to admit... 

I was once stationed here as a researcher, 

long ago... 

I remember... 

remember a few things... 

oh, there is a legend among the tribe. 

On the island there should be a magic staff... 

... that once belonged to the most powerful of medicine men... 

... maybe if you find it, 

you can heal the tribe..."

"Okay. 

Okay. 

Let me just calm down a bit. 

This is really a lot to handle for sure!!!!!

So, 

I need to get to the island and find the magic staff. 

Right?"

"Right, dear."

Is this the magic staff the Professor talked about???

Who is this???


OMG, he doesn't look well at all... 

"Can I help you?"


"Oh... oh... hey... 
I'm... I'm afraid not... 
... it's too late...
I'm too weak already... 
oh... ooooooooooh..."


"Hey... hey!!!
Stay with me. 
Can you tell me your name?"


"First machinist Bert Peters... 
I was machinist... aaahh....
on the Queen Solomon... 

but a Professor made me wreack havoc on the ship... 



... ooooooh.... 

aaah....

I'm sorry dear... 

I can't... 

aaaah... 

ooooh...

the end... 

my end is near... 

aaaaah...

oh.

It's over soon...

Soon..."

He just collapses. 

It's the first time I see someone die. 

 He talked about a professor...


THE professor?


If that is true...






I need to find him.



BACK TO THE LAND!!!!!!
