• Unloved: The Abandoned Beauty   Chapter 21: She's fierce!

  Approaching the stranger, he called out to her again. Each step sinking into the soft sand, leaving an imprint."Hey, I just want to talk!" However, the gun in his hand didn't make him look very convincing...Colette watched as he got closer, eyeing the gun. When there was about a 2-step distance between them she gave him a right hook before side-kicking him in the stomach, with a little push to put space between them. As she did so, the unsuspecting target dropped his gun and fell back.'... Does he think I'm stupid enough to just let him talk to me while waving a gun around?'He felt a force against his stomach which caused him to wheeze for air as he coughed. No matter how strong he was, a blow to the stomach unprepared, naturally brought him more pain.Learning from this experience, he would no longer underestimate his opponents and increase his vigilance, allowing him to escape instant death in the future....Colette took

• Unloved: The Abandoned Beauty   Chapter 20: The threatening Bobo!!

  Colette walked over to the right side of the aircraft and stepped on the wing, which seemed like the only way to access the door. The window was slightly cracked, most likely from the impact during landing.Peeking in the window she saw the shadow of a person!'He's got a uniform on... I hope he's still alive. I don't want to deal with a dead body. Tsk...' She assumed that the person is a man due to the muscular chest protruding from under the uniform. Colette then, attempted to open the door, however, it was locked.'Of course, it's locked. Hm... I'll break the window and try to open the door through the window...' Hopping off the wing of the aeroplane, Colette quickly sprinted to a nearby rock that washed ashore and returned to the plane. Meanwhile, Bobo was dawdling behind her, almost struggling due to carrying along the large rock while running. She wanted to laugh because he was like her little bodyguard, too cute!!Returning to the plane, she began

• Unloved: The Abandoned Beauty   Chapter 19: The storm comes as quickly as it leaves

  Overall, the weather conditions on this little island were usually pretty stable, it was primarily hot with a few months of wet season. There were rarely extreme weather conditions.She would, however, often see somewhere in the distance, a storm.The dark clouds covering a small portion of the wide sky and small sparks of light would often strike down. It often looked like a beautiful painting....After spending a large portion of the day making coconut milk....Colette sat at a cliff at the edge of the island with her feet dangling above the rippling water.It was a day unlike other days, because she was so productive.She softly hummed a few songs before properly singing. A sweet voice echoed toward the vast sea.Changing songs several times, she shifted from soft angelic singing to strong and powerful singing. It attracted some chimps who gathered around her, at times they were energetically hooting along while other times

• Unloved: The Abandoned Beauty   Chapter 18: Abnormality

  During the past 3 years, there had been many items that washed ashore.There was something abnormal about it.All the items which washed ashore were coincidentally useful or entertaining in one way or another.She received clothing, tools and even novelty items like rubber ducks and Lego blocks???With all the strange things washing up, she found it very peculiar that only a small portion of rubbish would wash up. It was a rare occurrence.In fact, she was surprised that the ocean surrounding the island was still so unpolluted.Especially with the world's rapid increase in one-use plastics and the wasteful habits of many living in high-income countries. However, she was glad they washed up....Today, Colette would be making coconut milk!She went round her little hut to look for clothes which she could not wear, a few containers and her little pot. She placed all the items except the pot into her sturdy bag, woven from

• Unloved: The Abandoned Beauty   Chapter 17: A (small) feast!

  After 2 hours practising underwater, it was time for Colette to take a break, she swam back leisurely. She spotted some large scallops,'How unlucky for them.' she thought grinning to herself.She dove down elegantly, as if the sea were her element, it was a strange contrast to the person who spent nearly an hour to coax herself into the water before.The breathtakingly clear water helped her to spot the scallops, she even spotted a giant clam! She was salivating just imagining how she would cook it. However, she decided to leave the clam, for now.Looking around she saw some another clam variety, though she wasn't sure what it was called, she knew it was edible. It had a light creamy coffee coloured shell with a few black lines across it.She excitedly pulled out a small net from, well... her swim pants... she had no pockets, okay?!She stuffed the shellfish into the net and closed the opening with her hand. Colette swam to the surfac

• Unloved: The Abandoned Beauty   Chapter 16: A typical day

  Breathtaking crepuscular rays extended their glittering beams to the island in the early hours, awaking many life forms on the island.Signalling the beginning of another day, to survive or be killed. That is, with the exception of the chimps as they reigned over the island, and Colette of course.As the day continued to progress, the sun sat high above the island with fluffy clouds blocking parts of the sun, preventing the island from being scorching hot.Colette rested peacefully enjoying the warmth on her hammock, woven from the vines of the nearby trees.She was actually quite proud of this hammock, it was woven using the vines of two trees next to each other and gathering various vines from other trees. By first connecting the vines of the adjacent trees to create a base before adding on with the extra vine. (link in this paragraph comment of a similar process!)During the weaving process, her fingers developed some blisters as the tender skin
