Teen Ink

Are you there?

Chapter Six
The boat creaked from side to side and the waves lapped gently against it. I began to find it so comforting, so nurturing. In the split second I had been awake I felt accustomed to a different way of life already. The shouts of the men on board were sturdy and rythmatic, all too comforting.
I felt scared and threatened. But I had definitely leapt across from the balcony this time. Three times I had felt his gaze on me already and now for the fourth time I could easily recognise him. All I had to do was c*** my head around…
“Great you’re awake!” He exclaimed, throwing his hands up and down. He was dressed in; simplicity has been enforced in this sentence, rags. There was no other way to describe this man and his beastly nature and uncharming visits. But that wasn’t the man I had found.
“I am Cain, not my brother. The person you know is Obsidian Mordicai” He smiled at me. “We have someone to see you…” The two of them were identical, apart from Cain had two silver eyes whereas Obsidian had one silver and one gold.
I scrambled up from the floor.
“Father,”
“No, your mother actually. See you are like us…”
“My mother is dead…” I managed, the words barely escaping my mouth.
“Your mother is a pirate…”
“Where?” I muttered. Just tell me, and please just tell me. I would say that. But I would not beg again.
“You belong with us…” He assured me. His voice warm and soothing.
“Where…”
“I am here.”
