The Forbidden Island ✔

(Josh Hutcherson as Sam)

Jaci's POV

My eyes flutter opened, suddenly confused to where I was. I looked around and found myself sleeping on Sam's side. He looks so cute while asleep because of his boyish like face. Then last night incident came rushing like a clear sky. What the actual hell? I thought it was a dream. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid Jaci. How could you let him do that? Are you loosing it finally? What would Sam think, if he finds out? No, he can't. It would break him. This is literally called cheating... Why did it not feel wrong then?

Aah! I'm so confused right now. Why can't I push Aku away, whenever he is closer. It's like, I'm some animal in heat and crave for his touch. I can't go on like this. I have to talk to Aku before Sam wakes up. Slowly, I stood up and crawled out of the make shift and out of the cave. Aku was no where to be seen, but everybody around were giving me a knowing smile. What is this all about? I saw someone, who looks like Waya's brother. “Hey! Do you know, where Aku is?” I asked him. He showed it to me. I thanked him and walked the way, he pointed at.

Suddenly I thought, it was a bad idea. He is inside the moon god cave. Like a déjà Wu, all the incident from yesterday flashed in from of me. How I was a putty in his hands. How he devoured my mouth, like I was his last meal and how stupid of me to allow him to do just that. I closed my eyes and shaked my head, to get rid of my day dream, which was making me uncomfortable between my thighs. No, I can't repeat yesterday event again. In trance, I didn't realize that, my steps have taken me inside the cave already.

Is it too late to turn around. Yep! It is, because the haunting green eyes have found me already. He stopped mid talking and pinned me with his eyes, daring me to move. “I want to talk.” I said, scratching my head. Aku stood up from where he was sitting, surrounded by young males. Oh shit. Did I interrupted some important. “I...I will come back, if you're busy right now.” I said, walking backwards. “Stay right there.” he said. I simply nod my head and stand there acwardly.

After few seconds, all the male, except Baku and Aku left, not before offering me an knowing look and snickering among themselves. Some of them waved at me and offered me genuine smiles, while leaving. Baku was about to leave too when I caught his arm. “B..Baku, can you stay?” I asked him with pleading eyes. He looked at both of us back and forth, thinking what to do. Just before, he was about to speak, his younger son came back. He said something and Baku left, giving me an apologetic smile.

Now it's just Aku and me alone. We stood there for god knows how long. His intense gaze digging holes on me and me looking everywhere, but him. He pushed himself off the wall, which I just realized, he was leaning on and started walking towards the exit. “Aku wait! I came here to tell you something.” I said, making him stop on his way out and turn to look at me. Now I was looking at his eyes. “Talk” he said. I took a deep breath. “Look Aku, what happened between us yesterday, let just say...I got carried away a little bit.” I was being careful with my words, making sure not to lead him on.

“I just came to tell you that, another rescue team will come back after a week or so and when it does, I will be leaving with Sam. So, just wanted to make sure that, you and your people don't create any trouble for them and let us go peacefully.” I finished. I mentally patted myself on my back for not stammering. It was a complete silence for a while. Aku's face was blank. Did I say something to trigger his temper? When I thought he wasn't going to comment anything, he spoke.

“ My people? Leaving me? Got carried away yesterday, Han?” Here we go again. As he started walking towards me slowly and the tingling sensation in my body returned. I wanted to turn around and run away but my body betrayed me. Will you believe, if I say, I'm wet down there right now by just the way he is checking me out? I gulped and watched his every move with my heart running a marathon 100 km/min speed. “Your 'boy toy' can leave, when ever he wants, with out any more scratches but, you...” he inhaled on my neck and his hands gently gripping my wrists.

“... are staying right here. You belong to me and in no circumstances, I'm letting you go again. Keep that in mind. And get ready for tonight. I'm claiming you as mine today, with or without you willing participation.” he wishpered the last part in my ears and left me alone in that cave confused, angry dumbfounded and more importantly, SEXTUALY FRUSTRATED. What is wrong with me? Wait a minute. Did he just said, what I think he said? It was too late when the realization hits me. “You asshole! I'm not your property. You can't claim me.” I yelled at him but, he was long gone.

What am I gonna do? I really need some advice. But who? Every single person in this tribe is going to support Aku as their clan leader. Except Sam and... Abedabun. Yes, let's find her. Keeping that in mind, I walked towards the people, busy with their day. Abedabun was not hard to find. She was feeding few children. When she saw me, her already smiling face brightened. “Abedabun, can I talk to you for a moment, please?” she nod her head and handed the bowl to some other lady, to resume feeding the kids. I waved at those children and walked away with her.

“Comb(come). What do you what to talk about?” she asked, offering me a clay cup, with steaming hot beverage.

I thanked her and started talking. “Look, I don't want to beat around the bush. I...I can't be Aku's wife. I love Sam. He is my one and only. Friend, guide and lover. I can't be with any other man, atleast until Sam is in my life. You have to talk to your grandson and convince him, that I belong to someone else. Please.” I begged her. She sighed and closed her eyes, as if talking to her deity, asking for help. She opened her eyes and gave me a kind smile.

“My dear Jaci, you are just confused with your feelings. I can see your future clearly with your husband and children. Don't stress yourself so much. Let your heart lead you. You will soon find out, what it really wants. Fate never changes for anyone, no matter how much you struggle. Your fate is set. Take a bath in the moon cave lake this evening, when the full moon is at its peak. You will find your answers.” she said, patting my knees then getting up and walking away.

Taking a bath in the lake, she said? Sure, why not. There is no harm taking a bath, if it means any help to my dilemma. I gulped the drink which now is warm enough to drink. Then went inside the cave to wake Sam up. Today is full moon that means, it's a festival for everyone. They would be busy the entire day and I should take this opportunity to wake up Sam and take a walk along side the beach, or what is left of the coast. It's been long, since I spend alone time with Sam. But, when I went inside, I saw a pretty girl, who is Nina's friend, talking to Sam in sign language.

Not that I feel jealous or anything, but the way she was standing closer to Sam, I didn't like it. But what I couldn't believe was, he was kind of flirting with her too. Wow. I must have said it loud, because the girl became flustered and Sam was for some reason... guilty? Ok, that was aspacted. “Good morning. I see you are wide awake, already.” I said, sarcastically. The girl and Sam gave each other an acward smile and then she left. He raised both his hands upwards in defense, when my accusing eyes fell on him.

“I didn't mean to...flirt with her. I was just...I kind of caught her looking at me, while I was asleep. And to bring her out of her flustered stage, I might or might not have said few word, which may sound like flirt.” he said, not meeting my eyes. When he thought, I'm not buying it, he sighed audibly. “Ok, I agree. I was flirting with her. But, it's true, I caught her off guard, when she got caught, checking me out.”he said, looking into my eyes.

“What did you two talk?”I asked him like a headmaster caught his student smoking in his office. He gave it a thought. “I asked her, "Like what you see? And then she was, "I was trying to wake you up to clean the cave. Then her cheeks turned red looking at my morning hood and I also caught her looking at that. Then she was like, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to look at that. And I was like, well, even my brother knows, when he needs attention.” Then he suddenly stopped, realising, what he revealed.

We both waited for my outburst, which never came. There was a complete silence for few seconds and both of us burst out laughing. I hit him hard on his arms. “Aau, that hurts.” he said, in between laugh. “You deserve it, you ass.” I said. After sometimes, we both came down from our fits of laughter. “So, wanna take a walk or you're hungry?” I asked him. “Actually I'm kind of hungry. Can we take care of that first and then you can take me wherever you want?” he said. I said sure and then we both walked out of the cave, hand in hand.

I gave him some water to wash his face then, we sat down where lots of people were sitting and having drinks or food. “Is some things happening today? People are kind of rushing somewhere.” Sam asked, taking a sip of his hot beverage. “They celebrate full moon day every month, which is today.” I said, giving him a plate, full of fruits and some dish made of rice. He ate it without any commotion. He's never choosy anyways. We were mid eating, when Sam offered me a bite. I was about to open my mouth when we heard a loud growl.

Confused, we both look around, only to find Aku glaring at Sam's hand. I gulped and tried to focus on Sam's hand, which was frozen near my mouth. Sam smirked at Aku and bought his hand closer to my lips. That minx. I opened my mouth and took it. That was my biggest mistake, I guess. Aku stood up from his place and took warning strides towards us. When I thought, he would punch the shit out of Sam, he did the opposite, making my eyes poped out of my eyes, including the others. He sat exactly opposite to me and offered me food too, just like Sam. Sam and me exchanged looks.

He shrugged his shoulder saying, "it's your choice" traiter. Aku's hand was still infront of my mouth. He was forcing me to take it, with his hand, but his eyes were kind of pleading. Without thinking much about it, I took it and started chewing on it. I opened my mouth again, expacting him to feed but he was looking at me with an unreadable expression, next bite in his hands. So, I did the only thing that came in my mind. I caught his hand and bought it towards my mouth and unintentionally, licked his fingers. Then let it out from my mouth with a pop sound, like lollypop.

Aku's eyes darkened and Sam was looking at me wide eyes. I almost choked on my food, when I realized what I just did and cleared my throat to avoid the acwardness. I thought nobody noticed except Sam but I was so so wrong. All the eyes were on us and Baku was the first to throw his head back and laugh his heart out, followed by the others. Aku and me, both were red like tomato and the only person, unimpressed and looked pissed about it, was Sam. Oh no. I have to prepare my self for his lecture.

My death...Here I come.
