The Haunted Isle
Samantha Lee wasn't special, the typical 17 year old girl, she made straight 'A's, though she wasn't liked much by the teachers because she was constantly correcting them. She didn't know it, and no one told her, but she was the most beautiful feline in the entire town. Her fur was a creamy orange, with a few white spots; her belly, which almost no one saw, was white along also she had three white rings near the tip of her tail, which was bushy like her fathers, to make her stand out she had three marks on her left cheek that resembled claw marks. She had long, flowing red hair, which she mostly kept up in a bun; her eyes were forest green that changed to hazel when she was really mad. Her wardrobe was mostly, the usual trend. Every guy stared as she past by them in the hallway, she always felt as though she was an outcast because none of them bothered to talk to her, except one, her best friend Kath brown. Kath has been her friend since they first met in first-grade. His fur was grey with a few "scar" like, white markings around his chest and arms. He had white belly fur and his tail had a white tip. His hair was brown, with the usual summer cut he had. Samantha didn't know it but, like most of the other guys in the school, Kath had a huge crush on her which he sometimes hid very well.
Samantha was busy putting her things into her locker as the final bell rang, marking the end of the school year. After she put her books away a guy called her name and waved, she waved back with the usual smile. She turned back to close her locker only to have someone jump out of no where and slam it shut. She jumped with a short scream, and looked at who did it.
"Damn it Kath, don't do that!" She yelled at him slapping his arm. Kath only laughed, his muscular build took the slap easily.
"Why?" He asked "its fun scaring you." He laughed again bracing the wall to keep from falling.
"Yeah, fun for you." She said pouting a bit; she knew Kath couldn't stand it. He said it makes her look irresistibly cute.
"I'm sorry Sam" He said pulling her into a hug. Sam was her nickname that everyone called her.
"So, now that schools out what are you gonna do without any books to worm around in?" He laughed releasing her.
"Well, I'll probably go see that new horror movie 'Death's Isle' Adam told me it was scary as hell" she replied leaning against the lockers "You know the one based on the island here in Carol."
Kath chuckled "Well, maybe I should go with you, just incase you get too scared"
"Sure, whatever you say" She smirked "Well I'm gonna head home now"
He smirked back "Alright, I'll pick you up at eight"
She laughed a bit "Of course Stacy and Brit are coming too"
"Of course" He said a bit downheartedly "where do you go they don't?"
"Home" she said hugging him "Bye" she smiled and started to walk towards the school doors.
"See ya" he called after her.
It didn't take long for her to get home, she lived across the street from the school, which was the only reason Kath didn't walk her home. He knew that if he did eventually she'd suspect that he liked her. Sam walked through the front door of her house locking it behind her like always.
"Dad I'm home!" she yelled. She waited a short while and soon she heard a reply.
"I'm in the kitchen" her father yelled back in his deep voice. Sam walked through the living room, which consisted of a leather couch and two leather chairs surrounding a fire place with family pictures and a plasma screen above that. She walked over and put a white rose she picked from the garden in front of a picture, if you didn't know you'd think it was herself but it was actually her mother.
"Happy birth-day mom" she whispered to the picture. She walked into the kitchen to see her father in his apron cooking as usual. Her father was, unlike herself, a purely black wolf with piercing blue eyes.
"What happened?" He asked walking over to her and hugging her. "You're late"
"Nothing dad, I just went to the cemetery" She said hugging him back.
"Ah, I see" He said looking down at her "She'd be 34 today"
Sam smiled "I know dad" She walked over to the table and sat down. "So what's for dinner today?" She asked as her father walked back to the stove and stirred the contents of a small pot.
"Just some soup, it'll be ready soon so don't think I'm starving you" He said with a chuckle
She scoffed playfully and went up stairs to her room. She opened the door and sat at her computer and flicked it on; she reached for the phone and dialed Stacy's number. A few rings then a voice came on the phone.
"Hello?" said a deep voice, Stacy's father.
"Hey Mr. Robert, is Stacy home?" She replied. She heard him put the phone down and get Stacy, soon she heard small footsteps.
"Hello?" Stacy said into the receiver.
"Hi Stacy, its Sam. I was wondering if you would like to go with me and Kath to see that new horror movie" She replied.
"Sure that sounds fun" Stacy said.
"Alright, we'll be there to pick you up around eight, kay?"
"Alrighty then"
"Okay bye"
"Bye"
Sam hung up the phone and called Brittany going through the same thing. After that she brought up "My space" and noticed she had a new message. She opened her inbox and saw that it was from some strange Orca she didn't know, but she did know that he kept sending her strange chain letters and just deleted it without looking at it. She also had a message from Kath. She saw that the subject was 'boat ride' and opened it and read it. It read "Sam I'm sorry but I got invited on a boat trip around the harbor with Alex and Max, I asked them if you and Stacy and Brit could come. They said yes so reply and tell me if you and the others want to go. Plus they told me the movie was horrible anyway." She sighed and called up Stacy and Brit again and told them it was canceled then asked if they would like to come along, of course they had to ask their parents and they'd call back soon.
Sam went down stairs after her father told her that the soup was ready. She sat down across from him at the small dinner table.
"Hey dad would it be okay if I went with Kath on a boat ride around the harbor tomorrow?" She asked eating a spoonful of the soup.
"It won't be just you two will it?" he asked chuckling a bit.
"Of course not Alex, Max, Stacy, and Brit will be there too." She said smiling.
"Three girls, three boys, I don't know." He said sitting back in his chair.
"Dad don't worry you know me enough to trust me." She said smiling "and I promise ill come back still a virgin."
"You promise?" He asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yes father." She said giggling
"Alright, you can go, but your taking your cell phone"
She squealed with excitement and walked over and hugged him. "Thanks dad!"
"Yeah, yeah" He said hugging her back.
She finished eating and was doing the dishes when the phone rang. She picked up the receiver.
"Hello?" she asked.
"Hey Sam its Brit, my father said I could go, but he was concerned about three girls and three boys being out on a boat all alone." She said laughing.
"Awesome, and aren't they always, my dad said the same thing." She said as the phone beeped.
"Oh, hold on I have another call." She pressed a button on the receiver. "Hello?" she asked.
"Sam, its Stacy. My parents said I could go, but you know the whole being alone thing" She said giggling.
"Yeah, hold on let me put on the three-way" She said and pressed another button. "You still there Brit?" she asked.
"Yeah" She replied.
"Hey Brit, its Stacy" She said
.
"Hi Stacy" She replied.
"Alright guys, so we're all on for the trip tomorrow?" Sam asked.
"Yup" They both said back.
"Alrighty" She said walking over to the computer and typing a message back to Kath telling him they could go. She soon got a message back saying that they'd pick tem up around ten tomorrow.
"Hey guys, Kath said that he and the others would pick us up around ten" She said into the phone.
"Okay, well I'm gonna get a shower" Stacy replied.
"Yeah, me too" Brit said
"Okay then, see you guys tomorrow" Sam said and hung up the phone.
She changed into her pajamas and decided to get some sleep. The next day she woke up early, around eight and sat in her bed and rubbed her eyes, then went to her closet and picked out some clothes. She chose to wear a silk, blue, mini-skirt with a matching tank-top over her bathing suit. She didn't know why she had one, she couldn't swim anyway. Before she changed she padded down the hallway to the bathroom and turned on the shower. She took off her clothes and hopped in letting the water run down her body. She got the shampoo and put some on her hand and started washing her hair and fur. She heard a knock at the door after she shut off the water and was drying off.
"Who is it?" She called to the door.
"It's your father, Kath is here to see you" He said back.
"Tell him I'll be down in a minute" she said. No reply "Dad?" Sam walked over to the door after wrapping a towel around her and opened it. She looked and saw her father standing at the door and Kath standing directly behind him. She squealed and shut the door; she heard her father laugh and she blushed and opened the door again and saw that Kath had gone. "That wasn't funny dad!" she said.
"I thought it was" He said and looked at her "awww, you're blushing" He said chuckling
She blushed a bit more and scolded him "Oh shut it" she said walking to her room. She opened the door and saw Kath sitting on her bed. She squeaked as he looked at her. "Out, I have to get dressed." She said with a smile.
"Alright, you know I don't think I've ever seen you with you hair down like that." He replied with a smirk and slipped past her into the hallway and down the stairs looking back a few times.
She noticed he was wearing only blue swim trunks. She closed the door and walked to her mirror, she'd never blushed like that before. She shook of the feeling and put her clothes on and put the towel in the dirty clothes hamper. She grabbed a small hand bag and put her phone in and other items in it. She looked back in the mirror and decided to keep her hair down instead of putting it up. She brushed her hair and padded down stairs and waving at Kath. "I'm ready".
"Alright let's go" He said looking her up and down a few times.
"Bye father dearest" She said sarcastically. He hated being called that.
"Bye Sammy" He said back.
She walked outside with Kath ans saw Alex's yellow jeep with the others already in it. She climbed in after Kath and sat next to him.
"Looking good Sam" Max said. Max was a red fox with red eyes and a white belly, also with a white tip tail and short spiked blonde hair and very muscular.
"Thanks" She said with a smile.
Alex drove off and soon they were at the dock on the harbor. Sam looked at the boat tied up; it was fairly large, fit for six or seven people. She looked off into the distance and saw a dark storm cloud.
"Hey Alex, are you sure it's safe" She asked
"Positive, and besides Sam that storm could be 500 miles away." He said. Alex was a brown Otter with blue eyes and an equal body build to Max, both of them wearing only their swim trunks.
"Are you sure?" Stacy asked. Stacy was a grey Vixen with brown eyes and beautiful, long blonde hair. She was one of the most popular girls in school. Brittany was almost like a twin to Stacy except her eyes were hazel and her hair was short and brown.
"Never been so sure in my life girls, you'll be fine" He replied with a smile, he drove into the parking lot and they all got out and gathered their belongings and headed towards the boat. As they boarded the boat one by one Sam noticed the storm cloud was bigger than before, she was a little nervous but decided to have some fun. Alex started the boat and they pulled of into the harbor.
