The Island Girl by Robert & Sam (book recommendations for young adults .TXT) 📖

I wake in a clearing made by my plane all I remember is being in the air and warning light started flashing I have no idea where I am


Yelina crept through the dense under growth toward the crash

As I stand up I can't even remember my name I look down and hanging around my neck are a pair of dog tags the name on them is wade

Yelina hunkers down in the ferns and bushes when she sees a man stand up from the crash.


He hears rustling and tries to take cover behind the broken wing of the plane


Yelina dashes away back to her tribe's village and rushes to tell her father ( the chief ) what she saw.

Collecting everything he can find he follows her

Yelina goes to collect coconuts and runs right into him and screams when she stares up at him and sees who it is

Not wanting to cause a panic he gets on his knees to show he means no harm even on his knees she only comes up to the top of his head


Yelina scrambles up and away from him and waves her dagger at him. "stay back! "

When she lunges at him he easily disarms her still not knowing who he is he says i see you speak English

Yelina spits at his feet. "give me my dagger" with them both standing she comes to his shoulder


And he says and why should I do that so you can try to kill me again? You still don't understand I mean you no harm


Yelina folded her arms across her chest. "all the people that crashed here over the years disrupted our way of life"


Well all I want is to get my plane fixed and get out of here You will know I really don't know where I would go I don't even remember where I came from


Yelina frowned. "you could be lying...just so i put my guard down"

He returned her knife and said u should smile more often
Not everybody means you harm

Yelina rolled her eyes. "whatever...I told my father about you..His warriors will be all over this jungle in an hour"

What makes you think I could take you out and be gone in an hour

Yelina scowled. "do you want my help or not?"

"Yes I've been trying to explain that to you for the last 20 minutes" he said.

Yelina rolled her eyes. "follow me" she turned and walked off into the trees.

"Lead the way" he said , smirking.

Yelina stayed far enough ahead of him so that he wouldn't be able to grab her.

He decided to have some fun with her so quietly and quickly he moved around in front of her and when she look back she couldn't find him

Yelina panicked and turned to run forward but ran right into him. she started cursing him in her native tongue.

He couldn't help but smile. He yelled "English!" He said softly "If I'm going to get cussed out I like to understand what you're saying And why"

Yelina pushed away from him and looked ready to burst into angry flames. "Swine! Bastard! Ass!"

He stood up straight and said "you are way too serious, Everywhere I go people are shooting at me trying to kill me, And all I want to do is just get home wherever that is..
Now are you going to lighten up or not?"

Yelina sighed. "no more tricks...i'm leading you to a cave where you can wait till i come back with food"

Sarcastically he says "can I place my order now"

Yelina throws her dagger and it goes between his legs and lodges in a tree behind him. "i Never miss...that was a warning..." she goes and gets her dagger then continues to lead him to the cave.

"Well forgive me, if you had bullets flying at you for the past 3 weeks you might want to have a little fun too" he grumbled.

Yelina frowned and looked back at him. "where were you ? why have you been getting shot at for 3 weeks? we have no guns here"

"I told you I don't remember all I remember is the gun shots" he sounded frustrated.

Yelina sighed. "whatever...let's keep moving..."

Before another word could be said he hears a low growl coming from the trees above them. the next sound heard is a gunshot she turns around is quick as she could in the only thing she sees is the smoking barrel, then the next sounds she hears if something falling from the trees she turns around the season very large cat like creature laying on the ground she looks back at him he says" I don't miss either"

Yelina glares at him. "you brought a fire weapon! a gun here!"

"Forgive me I didn't mean to land in your jungle" he stated." Besides I only have 3 bullets you should be thanking me"

Yelina growled angrily. then turned and continued to stomp forward.

"Keep stopping like that and you'll let everybody know where we are" he lectured.

Yelina turned on him and pressed her knife against his stomach. "its not me they are looking for...so word of advice...Shut Up"

"Sorry I thought we were bonding" he grinned.

Yelina shook her head and quickened her pace. Soon the cave opening came into view.

"wow I wonder what the rent is in a place like this" he said.

Yelina shook her head and entered the cave.

He laughed and said me without my welcome mat

Yelina pointed to the floor of the cave. "sit"

"why?" he frowned.

Yelina stomped her bare foot. "because! i'm leaving and You are staying here. you need to sit"

He's thinking to himself wow I got a warmer reception from the cat.

Yelina went to leave but gasped and ran back toward him, and held a finger to her lips.

He said "what?"

Yelina put a hand over his mouth. her eyes flashed a warning. right as a shadow fell over the cave entrance.

With ease he picked her up in quietly ran back as far into the cave he could.

Yelina tensed against him, but stayed quiet. The shadow got close in the entrance then walked away. her people talked in their native tongue, their voices got quieter the further away they got.

He asked who was following them.

Yelina sighed. "my brothers and some of the warriors from my village..."

"I have an idea but you have to listen to me can you do that?" he asked.

Yelina nodded.

"That thing I killed is not far from here, if we can make them think that you were attacked they will take you home, as I make my way back to the plane to get the rest of my stuff" he planned.

Yelina shook her head and sat on the cave floor. "that won't work...they saw me go to the village i will be punished for being out of the village knowing you are here"

"Alright, how long can you hold your breath?" he asked.

Yelina looked confused. "what? i've never had to"

"You hide under water while I get out of here then you make your way back home unnoticed while they're following me" he suggested.

Yelina shook her head. "no...they could kill you...plus my mother would know" she blushed.

Smiling, he said."you have any better ideas? I'm all ears"

Yelina nodded. "we stay here...and i go hunt down some dinner"

"Wait here I promise I won't hurt them much" he stood.

Yelina grabbed his arm. "no! hurt who?"

Nobody just there ears Looks like I won't be getting out of here anytime soon

Yelina shrugged. "whatever..."

Ok he remove a small black remote from his vest saying I hope you're ready you push the red button and 3 seconds later and very loud a sound a resonated from his airplane he blew up his plane hearing it everyone in the cave ran towards the sound he said now we've got some time to figure out what to do next

Yelina winced. "stay low...they are gonna look all over for us"

Ok so what now you can't go home ?????

Yelina nodded and looked sad

Then why did you help me ?

yelina shrugged "saves me from having to marry Kiloco...the finest warrior in my tribe but the meanest man you have ever met

Wow really

yelina nodded. "my father thought it would be a good match for the village..."

So I guess now we both need to find a way out of here
And I just blew up the only way out that I know of


yelina laughed. "cant you swim?

Yeah but how's it going to get us off the island

yelina smiled "there is another island..no body lives there"

Thought you said you never held your breath before

Yelina laughed. "you keep your head above the water wade"

I'll take your word for it Lead the way

Yelina crept out of the cave and gasped as her brother came out of teh trees. "loki!"

Wade send y'all got people coming out the woodwork

Yelina blushed. Loki scowled. "the man...we've been looking for him Yelina! did you service him? huh? wait till father hears you were with him"

Loki stared straighten his dog tags and said I've seen those before. Wade said well it's nice to meet you too

Loki scowled. "be quiet" Yelina hung her head. Loki motioned them forward. "lets go back to the village"

Wade said well um you know I don't think so she's leaving with me her choice

Yelina shook her head and blushed. too late. Loki glared. "is that so? well she doesnt have a choice! shes a woman...Her Brothers and father control her choices...isnt that right Yelina?" Yelina kept her eyes looking at the ground and nodded

That's the real funny but as long as I'm here she's got a choice and she chose to go with me and believe me you haven't seen my tags before
If you want her you're going to have to take her

Yelina winced. "don-" she cried out as her brother slapped her for looking up and talking.

Before he can look back at Wade he was on the ground he looks up and sees 4 sets of 2 letters st so wt and bo

Yelina yanked Wade off him. "stop! its our culture..."

Yelina blushed. "i would like to see and expirence your world"

Yelina nodded. "i can do that" Loki glared at her. "fine leave with him...but don't ever come back"

Yelina looked up at wade. "what do you mean?...how will i be treated?"
