Once A Human Once A Child

Chapter 6: The Prophecy.

The leak just got bigger and everything in the sea was acting strangely the sharks were circling around our ship. The dolphins were not coming up out of the water to get air; there we no fish jumping up and out of the water. (I think its just to show off there moves) I don't know what I'm supposed to do while we wait to leave so I pretend to try to get stuff out of StarLight, but as always I say I didn't get anything out of her. If this keeps up we're both going to die... They don't like it when they hear me come back without any news about finding out about where StarLight's village is. She actually hasn't told me... I don't think she trusts me yet. But she will... She will.

"StarLight?" I ask.

"Yeah?"

"Do you know anything about why these pirates hate your people so much? And the mermaids?"

"Well... long ago like one billion years ago when pirates and fairy's got along the pirates found gold in a mountain. And it was the fairy's gold and everyone wanted it and so the fairy's would not give it away. And the pirates got angry... so then the pirates leaved us alone until now, they say that the gold is rightfully theirs but we don't believe it so we moved far away and took all the gold with us so they could not find it and us. So we left to go where only our kind can go. Its called Abatwa.  It's in North America and its beautiful there. You have to get there a certain way. No one has ever found it and we hope it stays that way. We hid the gold under the ground so if any pirate thinks to look somewhere they wont think under grown.... I hope."

There was a long silence but then I looked out the window I saw a pirate having his ear plopped on the glass window (that no one can break because they were afraid that prisoners would try to break it.) 

"Someone heard the whole conversation StarLight, what should we do? Who is going to warn your people about the pirates? They can get to you guys, they know where the gold is-"

"But they don't know how to get there." She said with a grin on her face.

"Oh right! So I guess were not doomed until the pirates kill me for not telling them that I knew where you guys were... what should I tell them? What should I do when they find out we've been partnering up and I have not told them about anything?! Oh my gosh! I'm toast when I walk in there Ahhhhhhh!" 

"Chill out." She said calmly.

"Easy for you to say your not the one who is going to be toast when you walk in there! They're going to kill me!" 

"Then make up something. Just make a story up until we get off this boat and away from this island." She said.

"Okay..."

"Okay."
