The Outcast

Chapter one - New beginings

I made it, I'm finally here.

The sound of a distance bell chime, dogs bark and the seagulls called. the oceans water was calm and peaceful. the smell of the salty sea was so strong and is all I could smell for god knows how long; I wasn't counting the days I have been travelling as a stowaway.

As the boat docks I take a peak from the box I was hiding in. I wince at the light blinded me. Smoke from the factory's in the distance, lots of buildings and busy people walking back and forth.

"We have finally arrived at Saint Denis." Says one of the crew members.

The crew was readying to depart.

-I can't believe I made it! I'm in America-

I wait for the right time to run, watching and hiding in the box when someone would walk past. But then I hear screaming coming from behind me.

"Stoway!" One of the crew shouted.
Shit they found me. But before I knew it my box was pushed over and I roll out.

I looked up to see a girl same age as me get picked up by the collar of her tattered shirt. Fear had taken over her eyes.

"Thought you could get away? You think your clever do ya?". The big bulky guy lifts her up on her feet and starts the drag her

"Please don't take me back, I'm sorry, please" she cried trying to pull from his grip.

-I can get out of here while I can while no ones looking my way- I think to myself.

I get up and take one last look at the girl still crying for mercy.

I take a breath. -I have to help her- I pick up the lid of the box I was hiding in and run jumping up the boxes till I was high enough; I jumped down hitting the guy over the head with the lid breaking it in half.

He drops the girl and winces in pain. I landed on my feet like a cat. I ran to the girl and help pick her up "are you ok?" I said

Before she could answer the guy growled. This guy is made of stone. Built like a monster. The crew looked at us "get them!" Said the guy

"Run!" I shout. We took off jumped of the boat onto the docks. As we got of the docks the guy shouted "police! Two stowaways get them!"

After that two police men started to chase us blowing on their whistles.

-Great, what a way to start my new life.-

We took a right, a left, a right and then into some sort of market area the girl pushed down some boxes stopping the police as we ran we ended up in some sort of pig barn but didn't have time to look. I stopped and pulled the girl behind a pillar as I tell her to shush.

Trying to control our breathing we close our eyes as we hear the police stomping around "they went this way!" One of them said.

We gave it a minute before we took a sigh of relief.

I looked at her. Her face was covered in dirt, her blue eyes where tired but yet sparkle and her knotted hair was tide up. Her clothes was torn and dirty.

We grin at each other "did you see that? That was awesome!" I said with a smile waving my hands about. The adrenaline flew threw me "I was like smash and then run and then you was like push and then and then..."

She laughed "thank you for saving me" she wrapped her arms around me "I thought I was a goner."

I stood there at first confused but then I pulled her in closer.

A pig came round squalling at us we release each other and looked at the pig. The smell here was nasty "well is there anywhere your planning on going now that your here?" I asked looking back at her.
