WHY ME?

Chapter 8

As blood gashes out of captain Jack's throat, I run for Aiden. He is wasted and doesn't seem to register my presence. I unlock his chains, grab our weapons and clothes from the corner of this filthy jail, and make a run for it with Aiden on my back.

"Why are u heavy? you don't look fat," I complain.
"I am full of muscles, what do you expect." He replies weakly, but with a little giggle.

I pass through the hallways. It is dawn right now. Pirates don't rise off their sleep slumbers before the real sunrise when the sun shines over their heads. But I think since they won yesterday and were all celebrating they will be cast out for a good while. By then we will, hopefully, be gone. 

I let the purple fairy lead the way to the emergency boat behind the deck on the ship. I desperately need some rest. My body is half moving on its own right now, my brain shut off a long time ago. 

The ship is bigger than what I thought and planned. It takes us a very long time to find the end of the deck's oval to make a U-turn to the other side. Aiden seems to be enjoying his time on my back. He is still in very bad shape. He needs immediate medical attention. I need to find a safe place as quickly as possible. 

We finally reach the boat. Someone is sleeping inside it. I smell alcohol. The yellow fairy takes action and whistles softly with her beautiful lips. I can't hear her whistle, yet I can tell from the formation of her lips that she is no doubt whistling. She closes her eyes and frowns, I believe she is whistling harder now. 
Seconds later, we see shapes swimming around the ship. They look like fish but are not quite fish. They have the figure of a human being and the tail of a fish. The Mer-beings. Aiden is watching them from over my shoulders in shock. He doesn't seem too surprised by their appearance, but he seems shocked at their sight. I count, there are four of them. They show up on the surface of the ocean. Two beautiful mermaids that look so awfully like me. The other 2 are mermen. They call out to us, or at least that is what I think they are saying since I don't understand their language. The fairies speak my language for the first time, "come," they coax me into jumping off the ship to the water with the mer-beings. All the fairies call out to me and repeat it all in one voice. I give them my enormous hand and they all hold my hand, all five of them. They pull me to the edge. I trust them.

I jump...
