"Welcome to Southampton!" Casper read.
The fact he could read was becoming very, very helpful!
We all looked towards where Nadine was pointing.
There was the sea.
"What do we do now?" Kelly asked.
"Well, it just so happens I have friends who owe me a couple of favours, who own ships." I said,
"NO! Why didn't you leave years ago!" Kelly exclaimed.
I didn't answer. We drove towards the sea coast. The villages were empty. I knew where to go though.
I drove down the lanes close to the sea ad arrived at the boat called "The Black" and I began to look for my old friends.
"What are we going to do?" Casper asked.
"Find my child hood friends, ask for a favour and go to America." I said.
"And find my Mum." Casper added.
Amy began crying quietly.
"Kelly, can you see what she wants?" I asked.
"She probably wants a cuddle." Nadine said, looking out of the window.
Amy quietened down when Kelly began to hug her.
I parked the car at the edge of the sand and climbed out.
"Stay here." I said. I shut the car door and got out.
"I'm coming with you." Casper said.
"Okay."
He followed me.
I went over to the boat.
There they were.
"Amber?" One of them said.
Noah and Carter were my childhood friends. We used to live next door to each other until they moved to the seaside.
They jumped up and hugged me.
"Hey," I said hugging them.
I felt a hand on my leg.
"This is Casper," I said picking him up.
I could tell he was uncomfortable but didn't make me put him down.
"Hey Casper." Noah said.
"Anyway, what are you doing here?" Carter asked.
"Escaping." I said.
"Well you did a good job getting here, what can we do for you?" Noah asked.
"I kinda need a lift." I said awkwardly.
"We don't use this boat much because we'd run out of fuel." Noah said.
"How much have you got left?" I asked.
"We could get you to America, but there wouldn't be enough to get us back." Carter said.
"Well I have a car with a pregnant mother, a baby, a young girl, a four year old boy and me and we need to leave before we get killed. Couldn't you help us out?" I said.
"We wouldn't be able to come back, though." Noah said.
"You want to come back to an empty village where you can't do anything?" I asked.
Noah and Carter didn't say anything.
"It's where our parents died." Noah said.
"Don't you think they'd want you to leave and enjoy your life instead of staying here?" I asked.
"Please take us to America, I want to find my Mummy." Casper said in the cutest voice.
I could tell Noah and Casper were thinking about it.
"Come on guys, please!" I said.
"Fine! Go get your friends!" Carter said.
"YESS!" I said then ran back to the car.
"Come on guys, were going to America!" I said opening the door.
