Thoughts
Now on with Chapter Two
A quick recap:
Three days after my punishment I and I were sent out for food and supplies for Master's breakfast the next day. While out foraging we came across two strange men, but that is a story for another day.
Chapter Two:
The Saviors Arrive
Two strange men in strange clothes approached us. Curious about the two men I tried to run towards them, but Lena grabbed me.
"Hello Young ones," one of the men said.
"Hello," Lena sneered.
"Relax Young one. There is no need to be angry we have done nothing to harm you," one of the men said.
"Yeah I heard that before," Lena scoffs in response.
"Lena, he doesn't seem to be like our master. He does not have the intent to hurt us," I said.
"Master? Who might your master be, child," the other man said.
"Our master is allows us to live in Arlong Park," I said. I shuddered at our master's name.
"Young ones, allow us to introduce ourselves. I am Silva and this is Kalim. We are from Dobie Island," Silva said.
"Where is this place?" Lena asks suspiciously.
"Many leagues from here. A medium island in the west. We are on a journey to visit many different lands," Silva explained.
"We are going to different islands to talk to local leaders. Could we speak to your master?" Kalim asked.
"I am afraid our master is away, but some of his crew has stayed behind," I answered.
"We would like to speak to the next highest ranking person in your village," Kalim replied.
"Sorry to say, but you won't find many intelligent leaders here," Lena said snickers. "Follow me if you wish to see a leader substitute," Lena continued to say.
Silva and Kalim follow the two children to Arlong Park. Along the way the two shamans have a quiet conversation.
"These children do not look well. They look as though they have not eaten properly in days and the oldest has bumps and bruises. It looks as though she was beaten," Silva pointed out.
"What do you want to do about their situation? We won't be allowed to bring them to Dobie Island," Kalim said.
"I don't care. We need to help these young ones," Silva stated determined.
"Very well, we will figure something out," Kalim responded.
The group arrives at the gate of Arlong Park. A guard appears and asked what the two men wanted at Arlong Park.
"We wish to speak to a leader," Kalim stated.
"Hehe. Very well, human," the guard said smirking.
Lena and I lead Silva and Kalim to one of the Fish-man pirate leaders.
"Well, well. What do have here?" Hachi asked.
"Hachi, sir. These men are here to see you," Lena said.
"What do you humans want at Arlong Park?" Hachi demanded.
"We believe there are two powerful young ones here. We would like to ask these two young ones a few questions with your permission," Kalim requested.
"I suppose just asking them questions will be fine," Hachi said. "Why don't you human brats take these visitors to your chamber," Hachi said waving off.
Once at their cell, Silva and Kalim started to ask us questions.
"What land do you young ones originally hail from?" Silva asked us.
"We don't know. Just that we came from and separate islands. I saw my mother and father slayed in front of me by Arlong. He will kill anyone that gets in his way," Lena said angrily.
"Sorry to hear what Arlong did to you. Not all men are the same," Silva reassured.
"My parents traded me in hopes they would survive. As Lena has said, Arlong takes lives without question," I said sadly.
"Okay, once we have finished our questions, how would you like to find a new home away this place?" Silva offered.
"Yes," Lena and I said at the same time.
"Have you children ever felt a presence that you cannot see around you?" Kalim asked us.
"The only one Vanessa has ever needed is me. I am her guardian angel. Her protector," Lena declared.
"I always felt like my mother was watching over me," I answered.
Once finished we once again faced Hachi. Lena came up with a plan to fool Hachi. Silva and Kalim reluctantly agreed.
"Hachi, sir. We need to escort these men back to their ship," I stated.
"Fine, come back quickly. The men are getting hungry," Hachi ordered.
"Yes, sir," we agreed quickly.
Once at Silva and Kalim's ship, we climb aboard ready to leave our cruel masters behind. Silva and Kalim made makeshift clothes out of one of their white robes for us. We believed that in half a day we discovered as missing.
"What will happen when Master Arlong discovers that we are gone?" I asked scared.
"Vanessa, Arlong is no longer our master. We are our own masters now," Lena pointed out.
"Young one, relax, he cannot harm you now," Silva reassures me.
After about a month at sea we arrived at Dobie Island. Once there we had a lot to learn about ourselves and our saviors.
