Pre-story for an idea.

A creature found its way onto a sailing ship in the 17th century, and lived in the hull. They lost a battle, all the crew where executed and the ship was left to find its own doom. Sailing for many weeks, it finally found its rest place on a deserted island wrecked upon rocks. As the creature grew, still living in the hull, collecting objects found on the island to secure and make it more like a place to live. As the creature adventured more on the island, finding that he is not alone with other creatures on the island. some friendly and some vicious. All the creatures are carnivore, making hunting for food harsh and they need to kill one other to survive, small packs are made with the different types of animals. E.g. Some of the small animals have made a bond with the large. The small will find large animals that will chase them, and lead them to an ambush where the large animals will kill them for food. the small animals also get their share in the food.

That is the history of the island and the main creature. The story is:

The creature finds out that a deadly storm is approaching the island, knowing that the storm will destroy his home unless he can find a object that will block the storm. This object will cover the entrance he uses which in theory should stop the storm. The creature knows both the risks of leaving his home with what could happen to him if he does, and what will happen if he stays and lets the storm roll in.

As the storm is three days away, he sets out as daybreak, trying to make some distance before all the animals and creatures wake up. As he follows the path that he has always down before, he gets to the end of the path, where it leads into the jungle where the most vicious and deadly creatures live. Knowing he needs to enter and get to the other end of the path, as traveling around it would take to long, he travels inwards. Keeping to the shadows and hiding when creatures are near. As his journey continues he walks into a nest of  animals, that only come out at night. He must slowly and quietly walk though the nest without waking a single one of the animal. The creature gets halfway and a part of his foot slightly hits one of the sleeping animal, holding dead still and slowly turning his head towards the sleeping animal to make sure it is still sleeping. The sleeping animal rolls over but hits another sleeping animal. The creature believes its save as he is unaware that the animal woke the other animal, he continues on his journey. Unaware that the animal woke and is stalking him for breakfast.  

As the creature finds a cave and sees the sun reflecting of the object that he needs to secure his home, he starts to become unconscious of the environment and hurries towards the object. Stepping on a trip wire that wakes up a spider. As the creature grabs the object and starts moving it, the spider comes down from its tree and starts making fierce noises at the creature. the spider starts attacking the creature, the creature attempting to run away and hide, the spider grabs him and starts to wrap him with his web. the creature helplessly trying to escape. The sleeping animal from before sees the spider and wants the creature for himself to eat, takes a running leap at the spider. Hitting the legs of the spider, releasing the creature from the hanging web. Falling on the ground as the spider and the animal fight, the creature breaks the remaining web from him and hides behind a tree as the animal and the spider go head to head for the victory to eat the creature. The animal runs into a bush and the spider follows, knowing this is the creatures only time to grab the object and make a dash for home. As he approaches home, the storm is only hours away from hitting the island. The sky turning black as each moment passes, the creature is determined to get this object to his home in time.

Arriving home just minutes after the storm has started to hit, using all his effort to get the object in the position to block the storm out from doing any more damage. he gets the object in position and hides in is home until the storm passes. Throwing parts of the top of the ship, trees falling. The creature is hoping that the object will hold. As the storm passes the island. the creature comes out from his home, happily knowing the object survived. looking out onto the beach and seeing the mess the storm has created. Animals and creatures roaming the beach to try and grab anything that could be useful to them or was theirs.
