stuck on mako island by megan bretbrunner (read full novel .TXT) 📖

the next morning i woke up to a snoring Lizzy. i shook her, she opened her eyes.
"i'm up, I'm up," she said sleepily.
"have a nice sleep," i laughed.
she stuck her tongue out at me.
"oh real mature," i laughed. she giggled.
"want to go for a swim?" Lizzy asked.
"sure," i laughed crawling out of the tent with Lizzy on my heals.
"i'll race you," she told me running into the ocean.
i got in the ocean two seconds later. my legs started to tingle. i looked at Lizzy, she looked confused, almost like she felt it too.
Then ten seconds later something amazing happened we grew golden tails.

"oh my god," i screamed.
"what the heck," Lizzy said confused.
"what happened to us?" i asked shocked.
" i think we turned into mermaids," she told me.
"ok i'm totally dreaming pinch me," i told her. she did and it HURT!
"ok we're not dreaming," Lizzy laughed.
"yeah i said pinch me now tare off my skin," i stuck out my tongue at her.

"oh look who's immature now," Lizzy laughed splashing me.
"Hey i'm gonna get you fish butt," I told her as she swam away from me. with a flick of my tail i caught up with her.
"oh my god how did you do that?" she asked me.
"i just flicked my tail like this,' i did and suddenly fifty yards away from Lzzy.
"wow!" i heard her call. then she was suddenly right beside me.
"isn't it awesome?" i smiled.
"totally," she laughed.

Chapter 4

the next few days passed in a daze, we are starting to build a tree house, as well as an out house. it turns out Lizzy's dad was a cunstruction worker. although being a mermaid makes it harder, like when we were harvesting bamboo the sap came out and turned me into a mermaid and as a result i dropped them on my stomache.

but other than that things have been good...

"so how far are we? i asked as i saw Lizzy walking by.
we had diffrent jobs i made stuff like rugs, blankets, and clothes out of palm leaves, and regular leaves.
"I got the suport beam up, now i can start building," she told me.
"cool, what did you make the beam out of?" i asked.
"drift wood, and bamboo," she told me.
"Cool, tell me when i need to get more bamboo," i told her.
she nodded," I will."
"ok," i said turning back to the blanket i was weaving.

So far i had weaved a tiny rug, and a skirt for Lizzy.
after a few hours i got done with the blanket and went on a walk down the beach. there was a pile of drift wood sitting there so i picked it up.
"Lizzy!" i called.
"yeah?" she called back.
"i found some drift wood do you want it?" i asked.
"do you really think i'd say no?" she laughed.
and with that i went over to where she was working and set it next to the structure she was making.
"thanks," she smiled.
"no problem, hey i'm going to go take a nap," i told her.
she nodded and turned back to what ever she was doing.
i headed back and fell asleep on the beach.

Lizzy's point of view

i attached the first plank of bamboo to the tree house. it fit nicely on the suport beam plus i nailed it to the tree so yeah, i'm like my dad i never go any where with out nails or glue, although pounding in a nail with a rock just makes me feel like an idiot. I should probably make a hammer soon.

i felt like having a snack so i dropped my rock and started looking for something to eat, i found a banna tree. i grabbed a mound of them and took them to the camp fire we made out of wood from the palm trees. i rosted the bannana's for about a minute and ate one. i took out my plant gide and looked at a couple fruits and vegetables, as well as roots. At that momment Chelsea came over she had sand in her hair.

"Hey, looks like some one needs a swim," i laughed. she nodded.
"well what are waiting for christmas let's go," i laughed.
and with that we dove in, and just swam and splashed around for about four hours.
i knew i had found a place to call home.

chapter 5

it has been a week since we became mermaids, and it was awesome we figured out Lizzy could move things with her mind(mager help), and i could light things on fire. and we can swim up to 156 miles per hour max.

The tree house is coming along swimmingly, we have the floor made and we are starting on the walls. and Lizzy finally made a hammer, as well as a pickaxe. and the out house is finally done.

We had also learned to make three types of tea using herbs we found on the island, as well as how to dry bannanas...

"so are you almost done with the tree house?" i asked.
"yes but i'll need to go back to the mainland," she told me.
"what if someone notices you?" i asked.
"oh they won't they didn't even notice me when i was there," she told me.
"I'm sorry Lizzy," i sighed.
"Oh it's fine they won't even recognize me now that i'm not wearing goth clothes," she told me.
"anyway i'm gonna look around the island anyway," i said.
"Ok just don't get eaten," she laughed.
"I'd be more worried about the animals, you do know i can set things on fire right," i laughed.
"yeah i do know that," she smiled.

"anyway do you want to take the boat or swim?" i asked.
"Duh swim," she said rolling her eyes.
i stuck my tongue out at her.
"Oh, real mature Chelsea, real mature," she giggled.
"anyway yeah i'll be back by sun set," i told her.
"ok, later," she said walking down the beach.
i walked into the joungle for about twenty minutes then stopped for an orenge. i had two then kept going. i was half way across the island when i heard a cry for help. i turned towards the sound. a girl about fourteen with long blond hair and green eyes was trapped her leg was under a rock.i pushed the rock aside.

"are you ok?" i asked her.
"it hurts!" she whimpered.
"can you stand?" i asked.
"i could try," she said trying to stand up but when she put weight on her leg she screamed in pain and fell down.
"i guess not," she sighed. i patted her back.

'LIZZY!' i screamed in my mind. 'Oh my god are you a ghost?' her voice replied. 'No i'm Chelsea No get your but down here i need you!' i called in my mind. 'What happened?' the voice asked. 'i found a girl she broke her leg and i need you to carry her with your power!' i told Lizzy.

"by the way what is your name?" i asked.
"Bella,Bella Edwards," she told me.
"what are you doing here?" i asked.
"i ran away," she told me.
"same here, anyway my friend will be here soon to help," i told her.
"how? How does she know you found me?" she asked.
"You wouldn't believe me if i told you," i sighed.

"want a bet?" she smiled.
"ok promise not to tell?" i asked. she nodded.
"Me and the other girl who live on this island are mermaids," i told her. "oh i thought you where going to say you were a hybrid," she told me.
"What's a hybrid?" i asked.
"it's a half vampire half human," she told me.

"are you one of those?" i asked. she nodded.
"now let's go," she said standing up.
"how did you heal so fast?" i asked.
"it comes along with being a hybrid," she told me.
"Oh," i sighed. 'false alarm she already healed' i called to Lizzy. 'what the heck girl she broke her leg' she demanded. 'she's a hybrid or as we know dampire' i called back. 'so what does that have to do with anything?'. 'they heal fast' i replied.

"ok so do you want to come back with me?" i asked.
"sure," she smiled.
"do you have any powers?" i asked her.
"yeah i'm a shield," she told me.
"your a what?" i asked confused.
"i have a force feild," she laughed


"anyway come on," i told her.
"i could carry you," she told me. i looked at her like she was insane.
she laughed, "vamps and hybrids have super stregnth."
"oh, then how do you know where we are?" i asked.
"your scent," she told me.
"what ever," i sighed.
