As my boat approached the island I was very happy even if you couldn't see it on my face. I had taken with me everything that I thought I was going to need to live here. I laughed when I saw the girls faces while I left into the forest, I mean not physically but on the inside I was. No one ever went beyond the forest because the headmistress would never allow it. 

 I found this island online, it's very quiet and far away, a place where no one can find me. Once I got here it was exactly what I wanted, peace and quiet. I checked into my room at this place called the "priest hole" which I thought was a pretty humorous name. I started wandering far off into the island and I found a forest.

"Perfect! A foggy forest where I can live, read books, and be happy that she won't find me" I said with a straight face but excitement clear in my voice. 

I started walking into the forest until I noticed it started getting really muddy, I didn't let that stop me though. What did stop me was a house that sat in the middle of the island which I thought was odd. Then it struck me that this might be the children's home that was bombed in 1943. 

"This place really needs to be cleaned out," I said to myself while entering and looking around the house. "These could all be amazing artifacts put in a museum about the island. They could make tons of money!" 

I stumbled upon a formation of rocks that could be a perfect painting or hideout. As the curious girl that I am, I walked inside. Once I came out I immediately knew that I had probably been wondering for days since the sun was shining.  I started just heading back to the priest hole once I saw so maybe I could get help, then It occurred to me that this could be some "Star Trek" stuff that I had saw on something called the television. 

Everyone looked at me weirdly but I didn't mind since everyone usually looked at me that way. Once I entered the priest hole I noticed it wasn't your hotel priest hole but a bar. I walked out confused so I just started walking towards the children's home since that was the second safest place I could check out, even if it was torn to pieces.  Once I got there it wasn't torn to pieces but still standing. I stood at the door until I heard the voice of a child and I ran and I kept running. 

Before I started running I dropped my watch which made a loud bang. It broke. Soon after footsteps were approaching the door. That's when I ran. A voice called out saying in a somewhat cockney accent "Ay where are you going? You dropped something." I didn't look back I just kept running, well that was until I fell and everything blacked out. 

I woke up in a bed that wasn't the one I occupied at the priest hole. My instincts told me to run so as a normal person I grabbed my watch which was next to me and I made it out the window. Due to my "supernatural" abilities, I put my watch in my mouth and was about the turn into a bird.

"Oh your not leaving again! The Bird wants to talk to you" said a voice but clearly, there was no one there. The bird? I dismissed the thought and jumped out the window, turning into a bird on the way down. 

I flew around the house trying to find the rock formation and once I did I rushed towards it. The door of the children's home flew open but no one was there. While observing this I almost flew into a tree but of course, I didn't. A woman dressed in navy blue came out and watched as I headed towards the rock formation. I stopped looking and finally made my way back
