The Island

Chapter 23

Erika's POV

I wake to the sound of the motor and pounding in 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.

"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 agnoizing. 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 slowly gets to his knees and reaches for the sword beside him. The sword was long and looked like something I'd only ever seen in movies.

"NO!" I scream and unleash the wind from within without realizing what I'm doing. I create a sandstorm that makes it impossible to see anything.

Cam stands there looking at me in wonder and I look for Logan and find him without trouble. The sand disappears from the air and the wind centres itself on Logan, trapping him in its grasp and lifts him off the ground. I make the wind crush him to the ground and pick him up again and again. When I'm done with him, his sword has 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 ask desperately wanting to end him.

"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 Cam.

I turn and run into his arms. He was safe and alive. He is all I will ever need.
