When sun fall comes around I get off the ship, I walk along the dock onto the gigantic island. The first thing I see is a deep forest that is full of tall thick oak trees, the top of the trees makes it hard to see the sky. Around me seems to be all darkness at the moment I feel this menacing feeling as I walk deeper and deeper into the forest. I stop walking when I reached a stone path which I assume leads to the Cyclops’ town. I get quiet holding in my breath listening for any signs of dangers before going on.
“Be careful.” A bell like voice warns me.
I turn around backing off the path; I unsheathed my sword looking around the forest slowly I felt my eyes narrow in warning as adrenaline runs through my body.
“Who is warning me?” I ask bravely. …show more content…
“I am, Odysseus and his men have been captured.” She says her angelic voice ring in my ears.
Before I could speak out, I feel a strong hand wrap around my body and I feel myself being lift up off the ground. I let out shrieks of fear, I kick my legs around as fear ran into my body. I knew if Odysseus saw me now he would laugh at me and think of me as an insubstantial fool! I squirm in the hand of this beast that has managed to capture me. I look up into its eye and deep worry settles into the pit of my stomach. Polyphemus looks back at me with a menacing look “HOW DARE YOU INTRUDE MY ISLAND?!” He bellows. I gulp back every sign of fear and try to breath as my bones feel crush in his hold.
“I ONLY ASK FOR SOMETHING TO EAT!” I shout, for some reason I felt as if I have to shout to get him to hear me. I quiver as he brings my body close to his face; right there I was close to his eye. It freaks me out how big it was and how powerful its gaze could be, this wasn’t a pleasant gaze …show more content…
I instantly felt Polyphemus’s grip on my body loosen, I scream as Polyphemus throws me towards the water. I plunge into the water sinking down to the bottom of the dark sea floor. I feel the heavy water weigh me down but I push as hard as I could to swim to the surface. My arms and legs ache with pain as my muscles try to tear through the water; I felt my lungs scream for air as I kept pushing myself to the surface. I made it and I knew I have to find a way to Odysseus before Polyphemus knew I was still alive. I swam under the dock keeping my arms moving in tiny circular motions so I could keep my chin above water. I listen for Polyphemus and I sigh with relief as I hear his angry footsteps run through the forest. Who was that man? Who was the man that had managed to save me from a brutal death? No time to worry about that now, I get from under the dock onto it shivering for I was now cold. I was thankful Polyphemus hasn’t spot our ship, I ran back to the ship and went into the room where all of them were steady resting and joking around.
“Aileen!” A man slurs out. I wince as his big arm wraps around my shoulder and he pulls me next to his big sweaty body. I notice bread crumbs and wine was stuck in his dark beard. All these fools were intoxicated and oblivious to the scene that had just taken place.
“Get your arm off me!” I shout in exasperation.
The men laugh at my agitated mood and threw jokes at me, I was now
