Cobra Island: A Short Story

My family and I were traveling to the Bahamas in search of a new island called Cobra Island that was supposedly off shore about 150 miles. The plane finally landed into the small island of the Bahamas. All I could see for miles was the nice beautiful Atlantic Ocean. As soon as we got off the tiny turboprop plane, we were greeted by our wonderful tour guide named Xavier. Xavier was the best tour guide you were able to get throughout the whole island.

Xavier took my family and I to our hotel that we are staying at.. We went to the front desk, got our keys, and went on up to our room. We all unpacked and all I could think about was discovering the island? It was right around suppertime so we all went out to eat at a old fish restaurant. We were done eating, so Xavier took us to beautiful pier. He told us that this was the place that we would begin our journey. We all talked for a little bit thinking about what was going to happen tomorrow. Then we went to sleep.

“Wakeup, it's time to go catch our boat.” My mom said. So I rushed to get up. I could barely get any sleep last night because of how bad I wanted to go. I hurriedly got dressed and brushed my teeth. I

stood next to the front door trying to urge my family to move faster. Then I heard a knock on the door. Which actually frightened me because I was not expecting somebody to be knocking at 5:30 in the morning. I looked through the peephole and saw that it was just Xavier. He asked my parents if we were sure we wanted to go. We all were very sure we wanted to go. So as we went down the elevator to the main floor, he looked very worried. Although, that didn’t stop us from going on this boat ride. As he drove my whole family across the tough road to the pier, all I was thinking about was how awesome it would be to find this island. We arrived at the pier I saw the large boat sitting in the still water waiting for us to get on board. As my family and I got out of the old 1990s Jeep and walked toward the boat, the Captain came out and met us. We talked to him for a second and told him where we wanted to go. His face got frightening. He asked us if we definitely wanted him to take us there. I looked at my parents and they both nodded their heads. We all walked onto the boat and started our journey out to the ocean. With it being cold and quite out, I fell asleep.
I heard a very big loud boom of thunder which made me wake up very suddenly.

I looked around and had seen that it started raining. Which I knew that this wasn’t a good thing that we were in big danger if it got worse and it did. It was just five minutes later that the rain had started to mix in with hail. Then, it was another 5 minutes whenever the lightning and thunder had gotten worse and the wind started getting more fierce. We all were told by the Captain that we needed to get into cover right now. Which the only cover was under the life deck. So one by one we climbed into the tiny hole to be safe. This was whenever water starting dripping from the floor. It gradually started to increase. Finally, water started rushing in, I knew that this was it. This is whenever I blacked

out.
I woke up. Sand was all over my face. I had no clue where I was. This was until I realized that I was on a beach and that all of my family I had no clue what was going on.
I landed up on my feet as fast as I could, realizing that nobody was on the island with me, at least that I knew of. I looked out into the very murky dark ocean looking for any evidence of my family. All I saw was sail of the boat slowly sinking down to the deep depth of the cold ocean night. I sat there. Not knowing what I was going to do, I fell on my knees and starting crying. I kept on crying until I heard some leaves behind me crunch. I knew it wasn’t the wind, so I looked back. With my own two eyes I saw a big slimy Cobra like creature probably 25 feet long slithering to me. My eyes got wide. I ran towards and opening not knowing that this was. This snake like figure kept coming towards me. I looked closely at this snake, that is whenever I realized that it was a Cobra. I Put the two and two together and realized that I was on Cobra Island.
