My head ached as the sun had cooked my skin. I could hear slight waves crashing against shore and birds around me. As I opened my eyes they burned from being shut for so long but looking up I could see the sun was setting. As my body and mind gained consciousness my throat began to ache from dehydration. Oh how I needed water. My body was weak but I managed to stand on my feet. I didn't know where I was but it had to be somewhere in the tropics. As I continued to walk I felt small drops of water hit my chest. I looked up thinking it was raining but there were no grey clouds. My hand whipped my face as I felt my damp eyes. I was unknowingly crying. My hearing must have been going in and out because I couldn't hear myself crying. I walked further and further down the beach as the sky fought for day light. As the light faded away I made my way into the forest. I had hiked up a trail that lead off of a waterfall and lead deeper and deeper into the forest. It was completely dark and the only thing I could see was my own feet. Until Looking up in the distance I could saw the flames of a fire. I had almost lost hope but this made me gain a bit more. I hurried towards where the fire was, and there they were..it was the guys sleeping soundly, but Javier was no where to be found. I heard rustling in the bushes to see Micah aiming a revolver at me.
"Micah put the gun down"
"Vanessa?" Micah smiled
I sighed "yeah"
"I thought you died" his voice cracked as he hurried towards me. I didn't know what to do, so I let him hug me. "Im sorry for what I said" he whispered.
I didn't respond. I felt conflicted, Micah could be kind and he could also be a absolute ass. But that didn't excuse the fact of what he said, even an apology wouldn't fix it. I felt him let go as his hand rose to my cheek "are you hungry? Do you need something to drink?"
I nodded my head "both"
"Alright, come sit over here" he said ushering me towards a folding wooden chair. I sat down as he grabbed a can of peaches, a spoon and a flask full of water.
"Here" he said handing me it all.
I quickly took it a unscrewed the cap of the flask as I took generous amounts of water. Then Micah opened the can of peaches as I devoured them one by one.
"Micah?"
"Hm?"
"What's gonna happen when we get back?"
"What do you mean? It will be the same as it was"
"No...Micah, it wont..you can't come back from what you said" I could see his jaw clench.
"You're a bitch" he growled heading off into the forest.
"Wow" I scoffed. I was right. He was a coward.
I had fallen asleep after a few minutes of cursing Micah out and when morning came I was the first awake and I waited for a warm welcoming.
First it was bill. He woke up grumpy muttering about something when he looked up and saw me his jaw dropped.
"Vanessa! Holy shit!" He laughed jumping off of the ground and running towards me. I smiled and hugged him as tight as I could. "How long have you been here?" He asked.
"Couple hours...I see you guys have made yourselves at home" I smirked as bill grumbled.
"Well it's good enough for now"
"Um....where's Javier"
"...long story, the law around here got him"
I sighed. "Poor Javier, are we going to get him back?"
"I think so...Dutch has a plan" bill said as I nodded.
"Well, I hope it's a good one"
Bill pursed his lips together as he awkwardly fidgeted with his hands.
"Whats wrong?"
"Nothing just...it's been awhile" he glanced over.
"Yeah" I smirked.
"What happened to us?"
"I...i don't know, but I missed talking to you without you being all...grumpy" I giggled.
Bill snorted. "I get a bit carried away sometimes"
"Definitely" I looked over a dutch and Arthur seeing them both rustling in their sleep. "I hope they wake up soon"
"I see we have more company" a unfamiliar voice spoke. Looking up I saw a black man with a rifle across his back.
"Who are you" I lowly said standing up.
"Vanessa..it's alright, he's helping us escape" bill said holding me back.
"Thank you" the man nodded to bill. "My name is Hercule Fontaine...at your service madam"
"Oh...sorry, nice to meet you I guess" I awkwardly scratched my neck.
"You as well, I was promised some help with locals so I'm going to need Mr.Morgan..how does he react to abrupt awakenings?"
I glanced over at bill and shrugged as I picked up the empty can of peaches and threw it at him. Arthur shot up with the angriest look on his face.
"Arthur" I snickered.
"....baby! Wait- how?"
"She's alive I know..but no time for reunions, Mr. Fontaine needs your help" Bill mentioned. Arthur grumbled getting up from his cot. Arthur starred at me for a moment before grabbing his guns and heading off with the Hercule guy.
"Want to catch up?" Bill asked.
"I'd love too" I smiled as we sat down next to the fire.
