Journey with the waves

Chapter Three ~ Where Am I?

 As I started to wake up all I could see was darkness all I could hear was waves crashing around me. My eyes soon started to adjust to the darkness. I soon saw that I was surrounded by others in all directions.

I coughed to get attention this was the only way I knew to gather attention, and attention is what I got. The ones who were around me all turned around to stare at me. "My name is Isa, I am the daughter of Afa chief of the Hawaiian island of Hawai'i. What is going on here?" as soon as I said that many started to whisper. Soon a girl came up to me.

"Well hello there, what was it? Isa? I'm Harmony. As you can see here we are in a boat. We have been taken away from our families and we are to be sold off to other people in a different country." She states in a 'matter in fact' tone of voice.

"Hello, there Harmony. I have two questions. One is, do you know where we are going and two, what are the rest of your names?" as I finished my sentence a boy pushed his way to the front of the crowd.

"Hello my name is John, this is Jack, Sofia, Angel, and Ashley."

"Well hello, there John. Do you have any idea on what we are going to do about being in this boat John?" I croaked in a weak voice

"Welp the door is locked, they haven't opened the door since you were thrown down here. We are going to another country called France or whatever, just if you were wondering." Ashley joined in high pitched voice

I was speechless. In the last couple of hours I have been kidnapped, thrown into a boat, met strangers and now I'm going to an unknown country for god's knows why.

"What are they going to do with us once we get to France?" I asked worriedly with confusion written all over my face.

"Ashley can you go and take Angel over there to the corner please, the semi-adults are holding an emergency meeting," Harmony directed at Ashley. Ashley took the six-year-old by the hand to the corner.

"Ok, meeting in session!" Jack stated when he pounded his fist into his hand.

"So from what we know we have been kidnapped, knocked out or drugged, going to France, some of us are going to be sold off there, travel to Spain and sold off there, and most likely if there are some of us left they will either go to England or to the United States." Harmony took over, staring deep into our soul with her eyes.

"Let's face it you guys, we are going to be sold off to others as servants," Sofia chimed in hopelessly.

"Stop it, Sofia! Think positively, we might be able to sneak out and come back home to our parents..."John started to hyperventilate as he spoke up after what Sofia stated, after that he kept on babbling on about how to get off of this ship.

"Wait!" Harmony cried, "what did you just say, John?"

"That we should knock out a guy and scram?" John repeated.

"We need to elaborate more on that plan. How about we knock out the guy who brings us food, steal his keys, and make a break for it in the night?" Jack states with his voice loud and clear.

"Shh!" I warned Jack, "quiet down. They might hear us!"

"It's a steel room," Jack shrugged, "they got to have super hearing to hear us."

"Well, it's a good plan," Harmony sighed, "we strike tonight."

***time skip***

The food guy came in to give us dinner. We decided that Angel should distract him so we can knock him out. He laid in a fetal position on the ground, groaning, and clutching his stomach. "I don't feel good," he groaned.

"What's wrong?" The food guy crouched next to him.

"My stomach hurts.'

"Why?"

As Angel stalled him, I stood next to the food guy. There, in his back pocket, were the keys. I grabbed them.

Sensing my presence, the food guy turned around. I froze in place, keys hanging off my finger. "Oi, brat!" He shouted, 'what are you-"

Harmony dived to his front pocket, where he kept a knife. Sofia, now seeing he was distracted, overturned the food on the tray and smacked him on the head with it. The food guy fell down. Sofia gave him three hard smacks on the head before she dropped the tray.

"Hurry," John whispered, "we got to get to the rescue boat now." We hurriedly went out of the steel room. I twisted the keys in the room, locking the food guy in there. I let out a sigh. We were so close to freedom...Sofia froze. "What's wrong?" Angel asked.

Trembling, she pointed at the top of the ship. We looked up. Perched at the top of the ship, was a bird. It was big and gray with orange talons and a yellow beak. Only, the bird was snoozing.

Ashley sighed, "you scared Sofia. The watch bird is asleep. Now, let's hurry."

We snuck into the small kitchen to see that the cook wasn't there. He was probably at the Captain's quarters drinking and playing cards with the rest of the crew.

We took as much food as possible and stole two buckets of water. Jack and John ran out to let down the rescue boat.We carried the food out and looked over the ship. Jack and John were in the waters on the boat, waving, signaling us to come down. They already pulled down a ladder.

Harmony, carrying the water, carefully made her way down. Once they settled her and the water, Angel, Sofia, Ashley, and I climbed down to join them. Jack and John got the rows pout and they rowed us away from the ship.

I mentally cheered. We did it. We escaped from our abductors. Now we don't have to worry about we servants for some kind of foreign country anymore.
