Sent Back to The Island After Six Months

I had to go back to the island and build another shelter. That was lame. I was afraid that I might get attacked by the Spirit Bear. I was relieved when I heard that Edwin and Garvey were going to stay at the island while I built the shelter. When they told me that I was the only one that was going to do all of the work, I was angry. But it didn't bother me much.

I got started building the shelter, as I was building it, Edwin and Garvey would give me instructions on what to do after each step I completed. One thing that got me mad was that Edwin woke me up middle of the night, and told me to go with him to some sort of pond to soak. He said that soaking would take all my problems and angers away. When I went into the pond, after I took my clothes off, the water was so dang cold. I wanted to go back up to the shore, but Edwin told me to keep going. We stayed in the water for about ten minutes and finally dried off. Next thing we did was go up the cliff, and the weird thing was that Edwin gave me a huge, round rock, and explained what I had to do with it. "This is the ancestor rock, you have to carry it up all the way, and roll it down, and let your anger roll down with it." I thought that was stupid, but I did it anyways. When we were done, he said that I had to do this over and over, till I understood what the secret was. Days passed, and I was done with the shelter, and it was time Edwin and Garvey left they said that they would return back in two weeks to check on me.

Two weeks passed, and Edwin came, I was wondering where Garvey was. Edwin explained that he, Garvey, went back to Minniappolis, where he would remain doing his job. Edwin didn't look like he was happy, and he gave me a bad news that day.... the news was..... Peter tried to commit suicide, because he felt like the world didn't care about him, just like me. I decided that I would help him, but how? A few days later, I decided that it would be best for Peter to come and spent time here, to forget all about his problems. That didn't seem right though. That freaked me out a lot, and I wouldn't feel comfortable with it. Days passed.... I was still thinking about it. I was excited to tell Edwin about it, but he said that it was wrong. But it was the only thing to let Peter forget about his problems. Another two weeks passed, and still no Peter....... I was anxious to have spent some time with him. Please, hurry up and come! I'm tired of spending time here alone!
