Another Voyage Into My Heart [On Hold]

Chapter 5: Life Again

Back in the ship, I change to my normal clothe. I wear a white long sleeve blouse with a dark brown vest, and my brown leather boots and black pants. Everything's back to normal. No more dances, no more gowns, no Prince Matthew, and no blue eyes and sweet smile to comfort me. My brother enters and looks at me with this face that makes me understand that things are not completely back to normal.

"What's going on?" I ask my brother seriously.
"You're in big trouble..." Says Ashton.
"What do you mean?!" I ask getting closer to him.
"I've said enough..." He says with a smirk that makes me want to punch him.
"Ashtoooooon!!!!" I scream.
"Amber!!" Dad yells at me.
"Yes daddy?" I say with the voice of an innocent little girl.
"Come here, your mother and I want to talk to you." He says with a tone that sounds like he's going to ground me.
"What did I do?" I ask scared.
"Nothing wrong..." Says my mom sweetly. She's always the neutral one.
"Actually, we need you to take some rest..." Says dad a little ratty.
"I don't understand..." I reply.
"You did everything like you were told; we just wanted to congratulate you." Says mom trying to make everything peaceful.
"Congratulate you for the mess you made..." Dad says angry.
"Broderick..." Mom starts to stop my dad, but he continues.
"You let the Prince call the guards!!!" Dad says furiously.
"That's not my fault, someone dropped something to the floor, and that wasn't me!" I yell back to my father knowing that I'll get huge consequences.
"But you could've stopped him... And for that you're not going to the next missions." Says Broderick firmly.
"But..." I say while being interrupted.
"We're done!" Says my dad he closes the door to his room.
"I'll talk to him..." Says Skyla while she looks at me sweetly.
"Forget it mom; it is the captain's orders." I say as I get to my room.
I thought that I did my best, but apparently I didn't. I enter to my room and see that Ashton is preparing a bag.

"What's that for?" I ask curious.
"The next mission, which you're not invited to." He mocks me as he gets out of our room.

I can't argue with him. I'm too lost in my thoughts. I lie down on my bed and look out the window. The orange light of the sunset looks spectacular. Different tones of yellow and red touch the fluffy clouds. Mom enters and tells me they are leaving, and that I'll have to guard the ship. Huge responsibility I'm willing to take, just to prove to my dad that I can do something right. Mom leaves and the silence appears. I light a few candles o the ship and take one to my room.

I take some books and read them one by one. The first one is something about swords, and the second one is about costumes and different types of clothing. The third, and last book, has a black leather cover. It is tied with a string of leather around a button. I open it and get ready to read.
