Chapter 2

Over the next few weeks, the ship flew through all kinds of weather, such as rain, storms, heatwaves, snow and more. Mostly thunderstorms, but once it got so bad that we had to do an emergency water landing! Rain was jumping from clouds, lightning was lighting up the whole sky with its golden strikes of terror. One Tuesday afternoon, everyone could see rows of islands below, (with some leftover snow on them). Fantastic bushy branches and crystal clear seas, all covering each and every island. Not a cloud in the sky to cover up the sun, and everything was being reflected on oceans, the lakes and rivers. But the island that really stood out was the Isle of Doom. It had dead plants and animals everywhere, dark clouds were covering the top of the island, and mentally broken spirits haunting the place, and following anyone who dares to enter.
Looking out of the window, Evelyn took pictures of the amazing view. But then she ever so slightly turned her head and was forced to lay her eyes on the Isle of Doom. A horrified look formed upon her face. She wondered, “What if someone lives there?” Her eyes started to tear. She felt so bad if anyone did. She tried to take her mind off things by looking at other islands, and it worked. Every crew member could see the ship slowly coming closer to the ground. Beautiful , majestic flowers and cliffs, all sitting there, watching the scene.
After a lot of tension, the ship finally landed on the Isle of Adventure. Vincent jumped from the back of the line to out of the door. “Everyone get a good night’s sleep tonight, and tomorrow we will look for Wrigglesworth.” Captain Relphart announced. As soon as Evelyn stepped foot out of the door, she looked around in amazement. The island was so bright with the sun out and everyone was wearing sunglasses. They could see the enchanted lake from across the land, and the golden temples and bright, tall cliffs and hills. Evelyn could smell the summer breeze and cookies from the bakery down the road, and Vincent saw the bright lights from above the Skyship.
It was at that moment that Evelyn heard a faint whisper in her ear saying, “H-help me.” She froze. Branches snapped. Sweat was running down her forehead. Again, she heard, “P-please i’m lost.” Quickly , she turned around. No one was there. Could it be Ermitage Wrigglesworth? But if it was, where did he go? Did he quickly run away when she turned around? She turned back around and saw a silhouette of a human right in front of her. She screamed at the top of her lungs. Suddenly, it disappeared. She thought she was going mad, until Vincent said, “Y-you heard that too, right?” Evelyn nodded, but she was still frozen with fear. “Good, I thought I was mad.” Vincent said. But he sounded a lot like the lost explorer. Evelyn turned around while her eyes were as big as the eiffel tower, and saw Ermitage Wrigglesworth, in the place of… every crew member.
