For Saedo and I.
My Character: Victoria, age 18
Victoria was having a hard time sleeping. Though the house she, her father, and brother built was sturdy, but it didn't keep out the sound of the storm that was roaring outside.
The structure originally started as a small shack, but over the years the family had being stranded on this island, it gave them time to build something more permanent. The house started as one level, but a second was added. They used the trees as support and continued to build up. As Victoria and her brother, Jacob, were still young their father kept them safe and taught them how to hunt and fish (though Jacob always told Victoria that was stuff for boys only). They managed to find chickens or at least something similar and fashioned a pen where they kept them.
The poor chickens... Victoria thought. They were probably getting soaked, and last time she brought them in the house, Jacob yelled at her.
Victoria sat up from her bed which was made of moss, dried grass, leaves, and part of a sail to cover it all. She held onto a poorly made rag doll that she found in one of the trunks that washed up with them. The thunder clashed and she whimpered at the sound. When she was younger on nights like these she would climb down to her father's room and lay with him, but he was gone now. He had been working on the roof of the house when he lost his balance and fell.
At night, Victoria wore an old shirt that was too large for her and meant for a man. Her day wear was too constricting to wear at night (though some times she did sleep in the nude if it was too hot). Quietly, Victoria crept down from her room and into where her brother was sleeping.
"Jacob..." She sat next to him placing a hand on his shoulder, "I can't sleep..." Her long light brown hair hung behind her. She moved in closer and laid down next to him. Less wind managed to blow into were he was sleeping, and being next to him Victoria not only felt safer but warm as well.
