rescue (7)

they set up camp in a forest nearby. they observed as ships left and returned empty. they saw over the course of a week about a solid hundred people be shipped off daily. they had to no intervene or they might be noticed and the outcome would be horrible. they prepared themselves for the rescue. their plan was to break into the port officers house and kill him before locking the sea gate. this would stop any of the slaves from being removed from the port. then they would go boat to boat to free the slaves before they would plan there next move. as they were walking towards the port officers house when suddenly they heard people behind them. last aspen saw was a disciple aiming a wand at her. she was in horrible pain. she woke up ontop of a metal bed. she felt the boat rocking. where am i she asked. she shot up. dont worry ive got this said kade. aspen shot up. they took are wands but you dont need a wand said kade. aspen woke up fully and stood up. she was in a small cell in a ships hull. kade whispered the plan. how far out are we asked aspen. we're in port so you need to be quick said kade. aspen turned into her fox from and slipped through the bars and into the halls. she saw the guard sleeping on a chair. she ran up to him and stole his keys. she ran to the room where peoples wands where kept she grabbed the wands and handed them through the bars. she unlocked the cages ad transformed back to a human. she and the others stormed the deck and began to battle the disciples. she kept one alive and tied him to a railing. the freed slaves ran off the ship and out of the port. it was only aspen and her friends still there. the port was burning and the disciples were gone. aspen dragged the prison guard into a cell and began to get information. now where are the slaves kept asked aspen kindly. never tortured someone before chuckled the guard. whats your name asked apsen. its joni said the guard. aspen ripped off jonis metal mask. she whimpered. aspen took her wand to jonis throat. so now will you answer me asked aspen. theyre west said joni. whoop tee doo basil shouted aspen. she aimed her wand at jonis arm. you either do what i say or you end up with one arm said aspen. theyre in an island theres maps upstairs just let me go cried joni. aspen aimed her wand to jonis mouth. she turned around and locked joni in her cell. she went up to the helm. she began to read the map. the engines roared and the rudder steered them towards the exit of the burning port. the paddles flung water behind the ship and they sped forward. aspen was at the wheel. hilda kept the lookout and kade and devon were in charge of maintaining the engines. the entire day was spent sailing through the rough seas towards these mystical islands. off the front of the ship i see land screamed hilda. ahead of them was massive cliffs with a river inlet through the centre. im gonna do something stupid shouted aspen. she began to try steering the large ship through the river. the ship sailed through the tight river. the land around them was about 100 feet up. from the crows nest they could barely see over the top of the land. ahead of them was a harbour. ships were docked and crowded around the land. they saw thousands of slaves on the portside and thousands more were in the small town doing chores like barrel making steel shaping and many were sorting through old heaps. as they were sailing dread filled them. they heard a noise. someone dived onboard. disciples dived on board. oh shit shouted aspen. she ran beneath deck. kade and devon were in the engine room. she had no time to think. kade and devon ran up to fight but aspen knew all hope was lost. she heard disciples coming downstairs. she shota spell at the ships boiler. as the disciples saw her the boiler exploded. she was flung out of the ship and onto the docks. disciples grabbed her and flung her into a cage. she heard screams from slaves and cheers from disciples. she dreaded what was to come. in her cage she was dragged into a room and dumped out into the street. it was filthy and disgusting.
