The Island

Alternative Ending

Erika's POV

I woke to the sound of the motor and pounding inside my head. It's a painful feeling to wake up to. That pirate is going to experience something fierce when I get my hands on him. I sit up with a groan and finally notice my swaying surroundings and realize I'm back on the boat with Gordon.

"Welcome back." Gordon's voice rings out above the motor.

"How long have I been out?" I ask and I rub my forehead.

"Long enough." He says and I get up to sit beside him and notice something faint on my wrist.

"Hey, Gordon? I thought you said the curse was broken?" I question him. I look at my other wrist but there's nothing there. Why do I have only one of my tattoos?

"It did." He says as he looks out at the sea.

"Then how come I have my wind tattoo?" I ask, holding up my wrist.

"That wasn't there when we docked." He says taking note. "Any chance you want to test it out, it would get us there faster." He suggests. I nod, only realizing what the dream really meant. Thank you Allura, I think.

"You're welcome child, now save him." A soft voice whispers in my mind.

Gordon turns off the motor and drags it inside the boat. I create a whirl wind that propels us forward at a faster speed then the motor ever could. Hang on Cam, I'm coming.

It seems like forever before we can see the island along with the ship that sits in the middle of the ocean just before it.

"Gordon, what do we do!? They're already there." I don't want anything bad to happen to Cam and I can't seem to think straight. All I want is for Logan to leave.

"Stay calm Erika, everything will be okay." He says, but he doesn't sound very confident.

"How is everything going to be okay? Cam could get hurt." I tell him.

"Cam has fought Logan many times, this time it's not going to be any different. Just wait, you'll see." He says in a voice of wisdom. How can he be so clam when his Nephew could die?

The wind continues to take us to shore but we have some walking to do before we can find Cam and Logan. Walking down the side of the beach is torcher. I couldn't see them and I wanted to know that Cam is okay. When we finally do see them, it seems like Cam is able to hold his own against Logan with a sword. When Cam completes the moves to get Logan on his ass I figure it's a good time to voice my presence.

"Cam!" I yell as I run towards him.

He turns around and I can see Logan's lips moving before he got up on his knees and stabs Cam in the back with his long sword that I've only ever seen in movies. Logan pulls the sword out of Cam and Cam falls to his knees.

"NO!" I scream and unleash the wind from within without realizing what I'm doing. I create a sand storm that makes it impossible to see anything. But I found Logan without any trouble. The sand disappears from the air and the wind centres itself on Logan and lifts him off the ground. I make the wind crush him to the ground and pick him up again and repeat a couple of times. When I'm done with him, his sword had fallen to the ground and he has some bruises starting to form on his face.

"How do you still have powers?" he asks weakly with a smirk on his face. I smash him into the ground again whipping the smirk off his face, something I'd wanted to do since the day I met him.

"A gift from a witch." I tell him as I walk and pick up the sword and point it at him.

"Erika, don't become like him." A familiar voice says behind me. Allura walks behind Logan and hauls him up by the shoulders and starts whispering in a language I've never heard before.

"Soon your airways will close and you won't be able to breathe. The only way to break this curse is to change your ways and find someone to love you. You will be forever bound to your ship, never being able to leave without choking to death. See you around Captain." She says before making him disappear into thin air with a wave of her hand.

"Wait, where did you send him?" I demand, wanting blood.

"He is forever bound to his ship, never able to leave it until he can find someone to love him." Allura says before glancing behind me. I turn and realize I'd almost forgotten about him, Cam.

I turn and run to his side. "Cam, please you can't die. Please come back to me. Cam!" I plead, I needed him and I wanted to be with him, only him.

Allura kneels down beside me and two other figures appear. "I was afraid this would happen." The red head, Blythe says with sadness in her eyes.

I can feel the tears run down my face as Allura touches Cam's forehead. "He's slowly dying. I can cast a spell that will stop him from dying but it won't last forever." She says as she waves her hand over his body.

"How can I save him?" I ask urgently and Allura looks at Blythe.

"There's a river with water that can heal anything and anyone. The river is known as the River Nore found in Ireland. But beware Erika, there will be new enemies along the way that will become your friend and deceive you. You must determine who to trust." Blythe says as her eyes cloud over with a faraway look. The dark haired witch, Cresentia, steps forward and reveals a silver thermos in her hand and hands it to me. "Capture the rivers water in the silver thermos. But remember you have to capture the water at the southern region of the river, at the point before it empties into the Celtic Sea. Anywhere before it won't have the magic you need, anywhere in the Celtic Sea it will be poison. Find the Celtic Sea and the River Nore and capture the water before it hits the Celtic Sea." Blythe continues.

"Good luck." They say together and I know what I have to do.

I kneel down beside Cam and whisper in his ear. "I'll save you Cam, I'll be back for you."

********

After.....

He is at peace, floating in the blissful air that surrounds him. There's no pain, there's no fear. There is nothing holding him there except a single voice.

"I'll save you Cam, I'll be back for you."

The voice of an angel.
