The sea goddess

Part 5 the strange people

Wing sat up in her soft warm bed, her father had been to angry to even punish her last night instead he just told her to go to bed. Now it was midday and her muscles ached from rescuing the boy. Her family must have all gone to do chores, she slipped out of the hut and went to collect shell fish in the rock pools by the sea. As she was walking along the jagged rocks she saw shapes in the horizon. Curios she climbed a tall rock jutting over the ocean to get a better look. As the shapes came closer she made out people walking on top of them pulling at large prices of clothe they had hung in the air and holding long dark sticks. Other people were gathering at the beach to take a look at the objects. As they got closer the people came off and waded onto the beach. They pointed their long black sticks at the people. One villiger help up a spear then one of the strange men pointed his stick right at him then there was a loud bang. Something came out of the stick and peirced the villagers skin. The villiger feel to the ground screaming in agony, his wife hurried towards him but was hit by the thing in he stick as well. Then the people charged and there was banigng and screaming. Wing scrambled behind the large rock and stuffed a scream. As the notice stopped she dared a look at the beach and was horrified with what she saw. Dead bodies littered the beach and blood dyed the sea red. She screamed and one of the strange men turned to her and yelled something she couldn't understand.  Two men ran up to her and grabbed her arms then pulled her to the beach. Her and the surviving villigars were made to sit in a small group on the beach. Wing franticly searched for her family and with releif she spotted her brother and father. She sat by her brother "stone where is mum?!" She asked. He pointed towards a bloody body and to saw it was her mother's. "Mum!" She screamed running towards, one of the men yelled and pointed his stick at her. She sat back down sobbing and her brother wrapped his arm around her. They were all attached to a heavy grey vine and marched off the beach to a clear spot where a tent was pitched and they were pushed inside. A man with one of those sticks sat outside then the rest left. Wing and stone were at the corner of the tent. As night fell the guard fell asleep "this is our chance" stone whispered they squeezed their hands out of the strange vine and slipped under a small hole in the corner of the tent. They ran to the beach on the other side of the island and made their way round to the beach where wing had seen Manuka. "I'm going to ask Manuka for help" she said stone nodded. Simultaneously they dived into the lapping waves and swam down. A air bubble emerged around her and stone the Manuka appeared "Manuka" she cried "my name is pearl" her sister said back "why didn't the people listen to my warning!" She demanded. "I'm sorry" wing said "but strange people have come and they have killed us, they are holding the rest of captive". "I can tell, they tainted my waters" pearl said sarcastically. "Tell me why should I help a people who didn't listen to me?" Pearl said "please I'm begging!" Wing cried. "Please sister" stone said "I'm not your sister, I'm adopted!" Pearl said. Stones eyes widened in shock "it's true" wing said, she had only been 3 years old when they found a tiny baby on the beach. "But you are still my sister!" Wing yelled filled with emotion. "I'll help you" pearl said "tell the people when the strange men go to their ships to stay back, I will send a giant wave to drown then". "Thank you" wing said then pearl lifted her hands and wing and stone were sent flying into the beach. They scrambled to their feet, "are we going to go back there?" Stone asked "no" wing said "we'll hide in the forest and find a way to reply he people". They ran into the forest and climbed a thick tree. Starving and cold they sat there and talked till morning.  When dawn came stone jumped down from the tree "time to tell them", wing took a deep breathe and jumped down after him. 

Sorry if that part was a bit hard to understand, I was trying to describe things how they would. Here is a translation. 

Long black stick- gun 

Object/shape- their ships 

Heavy grey vine- chains
