I looked into the horizon as I rowed. I knew exactly what Kira was planning. She was looking for survivors who might have been left behind like Afa.
I was lost in thought when someone came and sat down behind me and said ,"Hey." I was startled by the voice. It was just Marcus. I was left without anything to say.
I opened my mouth to say something but he interrupted,"Don't say anything about you and Kira. I just wanted to talk to someone because if I'm silent for even a moment longer I'll burst."
He was grinning and I gave a short laugh."We should be celebrating the situation." I said "But before that I need to know a little more about you guys."
He nodded,"That's true since when we actually met last time we were running away from the Defence Grid." He said,"So that's Xochi."He pointed at the girl with wavy hair and earphones in her ears.
"Hey Xochi, What the hell are you even listening to?" Marcus asked her.
She removed her headphones and replied to Marcus,"It's rock music."
"Not that scratchy music again," he groaned.
"Shut up Valencio."She told him and handed the earphones to me. I handed the oars to Marcus .
"Listen to this." Xochi said,"Atleast he'll try it." She glared at Marcus.
I put the earphones on and Xochi cranked up the music. My ears soon filled with a screeching-wailing kind of music.
I immediately removed the earphones and handed them back to Xochi. "I'm sorry. This is not my kind of music."I said.
Marcus was grinning,"See I told you he wouldn't like it." Xochi rolled her eyes at Marcus and said,"Suit yourself. You guys just don't have the ear for the right kind of music."
I took the oars from Marcus and before I could row any further I heard Kira shout,"Land!"
I looked at the direction where she was pointing and sure enough there was a strip of land I would never forget in my entire life.
It was my home.
