Stranded

Day 5- Discovery

Sorry for taking a few days from writing, Things have been getting worse. First off Dash was really sick and in a desperate need of medical attention. Rarity and Pinkie are doing fine and have enough strength to help us, but not enough will to help. The third day, The chest was full again and the hoof marks leading to the western part of the island, someone is listening to us, and giving us the extra supplies, we think they are on the other island, everyone believes me now about someone or possibly, somepony, lives on the island. Pinkie went as far as saying that Discord be living there, I assured her that he wouldn't be there.

On the fourth day, which was yesterday, Dash started to have enough strength to help us get something done. We decided to explore the island a little more, for some reason though, it felt like we were being watched. It felt really uncomfortable when we got deep in the jungle, no daylight hit the floor whatsoever, and we walked into what felt like an eternal darkness. We found the lake, with its green and brown color and passed that, back into darkness and then at the foot of the mountain, we found an old building, it looked like it had been abandoned for some time. Inside, it was covered in dust, debris, plants, and decay. We continued to walk around, when all of a sudden Rarity called for us, we went to her, she was pointing at the ground, hoof marks, again, leading to the other door. We didn't even go there, somepony is watching us and following us, but how?

On our way back, I forgot we hadn't read the note from day 2, we got back to our hut and sat down around the dying campfire, I unfolded it and read it aloud:

Wow, you are doing better than expected. I wish Dash get well soon. Your doing great keep it up!
signed, The Master

That was the first time someone wrote a name or form of identification on the note. We now knew who's idea this was. Later that night, we did the same as usual, gather around the campfire and tell stories. Although, we talked about home, we have been gone almost a week, and we started to wonder, if anypony back in Equestria noticed our absence. Applejack said we shouldn't think about home, and figure out a way to get off this island.

Then today, it went as normal, only, I couldn't fall asleep for some reason, the chest was full of supplies again. We all ate breakfast, tried to fish, and then sit around and do nothing all day again. Until another discovery was made. Dash convinced us to let be by herself today, and we agreed to let her be. She called for us, we ran up to her, and she was pointing to a pile of leaves, they looked like your average pile of leaves, but then, something shiny was in there, I cleared the leaves, and there it was, sitting in the pile, it was a camera. It was recording us, that is how we got our supplies and notes. But Dash thought differently, she grabbed the camera from me and started yelling at it, "WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH US?!? WHAT DO YOU WANT?!? WHY DID YOU TAKE US AND PUT US HERE?!? LET ME GO! LET EVERYONE ELSE GO!"

I grabbed the camera from Dash, but she got mad from me taking it from her, and like a small filly who couldn't behave itself, she threw a fit and demanded I give the camera back to her. I slowly gave it back to her, and she grabbed like Rarity taking some precious jewel, Dash started to go even more insane, pretty soon, Pinkie, thinking this was some sort of game, started to yell into it also, " WHY DID YOU TAKE US AND PUT US HERE?!? YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?!?" It seemed to be the new occupation for everyone else except me and Applejack. Rarity yelled at it quite a bit. Then Fluttershy did too. It seemed everyone had their share of yelling at a camera at the end of the day.

Tonight we didn't sit around the campfire like usual, just Applejack and I. Fluttershy was sleeping, Rarity was crying for no reason, and Dash was still yelling at the camera. After my meal with Applejack, she fell asleep, I was the only one who couldn't sleep. Everyone, including Dash, hugging the camera like it was a stuffed toy, was sleeping. I then heard something, like a small motor, I went to the source of the noise, a small motorboat was there on the shore, with a green, red, black, and yellow flag that had a gold star in the middle hung on a small pole in the middle, along with a shape in the star that I couldn't make out in the dark. Two Pegasi came out of the boat, a white one, and a red one. with bags full of supplies. I secretly followed them to what appeared to be the trunk. I watched them open the trunk up and load it up with supplies and another note, they also were whispering to each other. They were male. "So are you sure all the subjects are asleep?" The white one asked in a whisper. The red one looked back and said, "Well of course, they spent almost the whole day yelling at the camera! They would be tired after yelling like that. I have never seen somepony yell like that or go that insane." The white Pegasus looked around and said back, "we need to get the buck out of here and report back to the Master!" The red Pegasus agreed with him and they flew back to the boat, turned the engine on and went back to what I guessed right about, they were from the other island, they were spying on us the whole time! Who is the Master? He wrote back to us in a letter. All I can say is, it hasn't been a week, but I discovered a ton of secrets here. I need to get some sleep, I haven't slept in a day!
