Chapter 15 Burning skull
They all started talking about their adventures. Rose warned them about the sea monster but the others felt it's not believable. They thought that the sun was playing tricks on them. That time Emma and Scarlett told them about the wolf. It was a little acceptable because it's possible to have wolves in the jungle. Layla felt the smell from Sophie and Layla smiled an evil smile at her.
Jude mentioned about the river that he saw. As the group discussed Jude's discovery of the river and the possibility of bathing in its clear waters, excitement rippled through their midst. The prospect of washing away the grime and sweat of their journey filled them with renewed energy and anticipation, and they eagerly made plans to visit the river together.
However, their excitement was tempered by the realization that Hailey and Grace had yet to return from their task of gathering logs and vines. Concern etched itself onto their faces as they exchanged worried glances, wondering what could have delayed their companions.
Just as they were about to set out in search of Hailey and Grace, the two women suddenly appeared, their faces flushed with exertion as they sprinted towards the group. Relief flooded through the others as they watched them approach, their fears allayed by their safe return.
Breathless and panting, Hailey and Grace explained that they had been delayed by the unexpected discovery of a hidden stash of vines, which they had eagerly gathered in their haste to return to the group. Grace said one more thing,
"Look guy's, I don't know how to explain this but even if I tell you, I don't think you guys are going to believe me. I'm not the only one who saw it. Hailey also saw it."
Layla said,
"Just don't tell me that you saw a monster!"
Hailey and Grace became amazed. Hailey asked,
"How did you know we are going to say that?"
Layla said,
"We have already seen something like that ourselves. Emma and Scarlett saw a Giant wolf. Either this island is playing tricks on us or we are so lucky that nothing has seen us so far. What is that you saw? A fish monster or a wolf."
Grace came forward and said,
"None. It's a giant spider. It's big enough to eat an elephant."
Susan came and looked but she was seeing Layla's reflection as the same as she was now. She said,
"I think you are seeing visions. I'm Still seeing your same face in the reflection."
The others said the same thing as well. But when Susan looked at it closer. She saw her reflection changing. Within seconds she saw herself as a younger form. She said,
"I think I'm having a vision too. I'm seeing my younger form."
The others started looking at it and they all saw their younger forms in different ages. Serina said she saw her older form. That time grace came to a conclusion. She said,
"Guys I think this stone isn't showing our younger forms, it shows us the form we desire. We can see ourselves in it as the age we wanted. This is one of the island's special stones. But in the stone only the person can see their desired version. I don't know the purpose of it and I don't know how this rock is doing it. But I know this island is some kind of magic."
They all agreed to what grace said. But they were marveling at its power. Susan looked back at Jude and said,
"Come on Jude, you try it too."
Jude said,
"Oh no. I don't want to see my younger form when I'm already young."
Susan smiled and said,
"Just get over here."
Jude came to the rock with half a mind. He didn't care about the rock's power. Still he looked into it. He saw his form. Then it started changing. Within seconds he saw a burning skull instead of his face.
He became shocked...
