One World Away COMPLETED (Book I)

Ancient

The anchors pulled out and the ship stopped. I expected a pie fight but was surprised by the results.

"Set the ship for the Islanders!" Someone shouted.

I heard some of the crew and the passengers gasp. They knew something we didn't.

I heard Pepper squeal in excitement. Sam didn't seem to mind but I was  feeling... Fishy?... Ehehe.

"Let's go newbies. That island is waiting for you scallawags." Robert said.

I nodded. I still didn't feel right.

They opened a large rowboat from a hatch and let us get in.

"This will be great!!!" Pepper squealed. She excitedly got in.

"I hope." I said to myself.

Sam held on to my hand again and gave a small smile. He could probably tell I was feeling uneasy. I didnt want much attention so I gestured for him to let go with my fingers.

He nodded and got in the boat. I got in too and Robert as well.

They lowered the boat. The creaking it made left a knot in my stomach. Im overreacting aren't I?... Probably...

You're dead. You should be. Just like the two kids who went to the island in the first place.

I can't believe this stupid voice in my head, then again, it's always terrible to me.

I remembered something and pulled out a picture out of my bag.

"Robert?... We're these those kids that went here years ago?" I asked showing him the pic.

"Yes... How'd you know?..." He said staring at it.

"Lucky guess." I said shrugging.

Pepper elbowed me in the ribs and gave me a worried look. I know what this means. If Flaubert's been here, things will get worse.

Much worse. I hope my fate wouldn't be as bad as Flaubert's and The Girl's. Something happened to Flaubert and the other one to the girl.

Like a curse. She was trapped in the amulet, and Flaubert?... I don't know at all.

And you never will. I don't know why you try so hard to remember someone that can just ruin your life!!! He dumped you!!! And if you wanna go back on all that heartache because of the mirror... Ugh! Just kill him now and let's leave!!!

I heard a splash and the boat tipped into the sea. It meant we were supposed to row.

"Let's start rowing now that we're all here and in the salty seas of seven eh kids?" Robert said picking up a paddle.

Pepper nodded anyway still having a smile. Its hard to bring her down. She grabbed a paddle and started rowing.

Sam levotated his and stroked it through the ocean. I did the same. Pepper gave us bad looks. She wants us to be less lazy.

Sorry girl, it's mah nature. (Oh yes I did. :3)

It felt like hours since we've been rowing and Robert was talking about all the adventures him and the crew had across the high seas of Hearth. Some were actually amazingly great.

Like this one time, where a sharktopus grabbed a crew mate by tail and Robert had to poke it's eye out with a broom. Thats how he lost his tooth. It chipped when that Sharktopus slammed him against a rock.

He got that scar on his snout from when the ship was in a tight squeeze when a storm struck one of their cruises and a mast and several sailors plunged into the sea.
