+Home Sweet Home+
Later they were both down from the nest and in Nemo's cabin. Nemo was in shell shock everything seemed to be slowly coming back to her of how she had ended up far away from this island.
"Are you going to be okay Nemo," Jimmy asked. Nemo looked up and gathered herself back to her usual composure and said, "Yeah Jimmy I'll be fine." "Good then I need to go help the captain and so should you," Jimmy said kissing her on the lips before he pulled away and pulled her up by her hand and lead her out onto the deck. That's when she noticed a boat in the distance slowly making it's way toward the island.
"Jimmy look," Nemo yelled as she pointed. Jimmy cursed and ran down the ship and around the corner to tell the captain. A little while later another boat was being loaded after hearing a scream come from the Island along with a huge loud roar. Nemo attempted to get in, but her Uncle held her back.
"Nemo, stay here, you'll be safe," Englehorn said with urgency in his voice.
"No, I'm coming with you I think this is where I'm from and I'm determined to figure out what happened to me. I'm coming," Nemo said with a determination in her voice shocking Englehorn.
"Are you positive this is the place," Englehorn asked cautiously but at the same time thinking Nemo had gone mad.
"Yes, I dream about it every night, and I have visions of it everyday. I'm sure it's the place," Englehorn sighed and said, "Get in, but keep this with you and if anyone comes near you shoot." Englehorn handed her a gun and ushered her in the boat knowing that she wasn't going to back down. She had learned that from him. Back when she had first been on the ship, he would often teach her to never back down from a challenge. That that's the only way that you're going to get what you want. Looks like it was finally coming back to haunt him she guessed with a smile.
As they made their way upon the Island quickly Nemo couldn't help but feel the fear and something mixed with anger as well but why she did not know. It was as if she had felt this feeling long ago toward this place. She even remembered bits and pieces of something that was not of the island or her past with the crewmembers.
A little girl ran to her father, who picked her up, and who was look out at the sea along with his wife, and the little girl's mother. The sea was calm and serene giving it a relaxing mood to the couple and their daughter. Even the men working around the ship seemed to feel it, but they could also could feel there was something ahead.
"The captain said there is a storm ahead. He says he's going to try and avoid it by turning west of Sumatra. Maybe if we're lucky we'll miss it," her father said to her mother.
"Oh please Arthur, tell me it's not another storm. I hated the last one and I about got sick," the woman said with a pure American accent unlike the man who had a British tone to him.
"We'll be fine, Mary. If the captain say's we're going to miss it then we're going to miss it. Once the storm passes we'll head on to Sumatra," Arthur said to annoyingly to his wife.
"Daddy, please make sure Mister Brookes misses it. I hate those storms, and I can't ever sleep when they happen," a little 4 to 6 year old girl said sweetly.
"Oh well we can't have that can we," the father said sweetly spinning his daughter as she laughed, "Just like we couldn't have those mean old gooey monsters in your room."
"Yes Arthur we must make sure that our little darling gets her sleep, so that she can sleep like sleeping beauty herself," the mother said sweetly as she patted down her daughters hair.
Nemo remembered that so vividly. She remembered seeing that through her own eyes and feeling what the girl felt. She had been the girl, but how had she ended up coming from a rich family to this Island and then back into the hands of a sailor who had become her Uncle?
As the ship passed some more beast like rocks it was as if the rocks triggered the memories again. It was so fast that she could barely keep up.
The ship had not missed the storm and the storm had been stronger than the last. It rocked the boat unmercifully and let the waves smash onto the deck washing away some men.
"SIR WE GOING TO TIP IF IT KEEPS UP LIKE THIS," Arthur screamed at captain, as his daughter was held close by her mother.
"NO WE'RE NOT. WE'LL MAKE IT," the captain said with a devilish smile that scared Nemo.
"PLEASE SIR YOUR GOING TO KILL YOUR WHOLE CREW," Mary screamed at him.
"PLEASE STOP THE ROCKING," Nemo said jumping down from her mother and running out.
"ALICIA," her mother screamed and ran after her but right as she was heading down the stairs of the boat it tipped and she fell and hit her head. Alicia continued to run with still the same vigor. Just as she reached the deck a huge wave pounded down on the ship and pulled her with it. She managed to grab the side of the railing but as another wave hit she lost grip and fell into the raging waters below.
Nemo's vision ended there. Her name had been Alicia but how could she be sure. It was so confusing that she almost felt like she was about to be sick, but what stopped her was Jimmy's hand gripping hers. Ever since they left the ship Jimmy made sure not to let go of her. He must have feared what she feared. That they were going to lose each other again. Right as they admitted their feelings toward each other they were already sailing into danger.
Nemo watched as they crept up onto a cave and as soon as they landed everyone filed out quickly and made their way up the ridge. When they reached the stone city they found tribal people all in one area chanting and yelling. They almost looked demonic with their bones around their necks, arms, and staffs. Their eyes only looked like they had evil in them. It sent a cold chill down Nemo's back and about sent her into another whirlwind of nauseousness.
Nemo started having this feeling to. One of anger and it only grew and grew until she had no idea want came into her, but she was way ahead of Englehorn who was screaming her name. Right as a tribal man was about to bring a club down upon Carl's head Nemo shot him straight through the head making all the natives look up and scatter. As they did though many stared at her in amazement and whispered a name over and over again, "Adaeze," and somehow she understood their language. A language that she had often spoke to herself when no one was around her when she was little. She thought it was her own little language she had made up, but now looking at it, it had always been a language she had known. It was a language she had had to learn to survive on this Island, but that name it chilled her to the bone.
It scared her because it was her name, Adaeze, king's daughter. Nemo didn't know what came over her, but any native she saw she shot and she slowly started to remember. They had tried to kill her because she was the reason why Kong didn't protect them and leave them alone. She was the reason they had to hide from him. So they tried to kill her only they brought more doom upon themselves when Kong had come for her, only he didn't make it in time. She had been pushed off the cliff on accident and thrown to the unmerciful waters below.
It was their faults that she was the way she was now. She was Nemo, no one, but there's just one little problem now. She could remember and that no one is slowly turning into someone and they could see it in her eyes as she shot them. They knew, she knew, and most of all, she could here that Kong knew as a large roar erupted.
Nemo began to yell in their language, correction in her language surprising all the crewmembers around her, "Die you bastards, you tried to kill me. Now you'll all rot in hell!" She shot them one after another as if they were insects. Correction they were insects in her eyes. They were all insects.
Jimmy had to snap her out of it by smacking her. Nemo brought her hand up to where he had smacked her and it was as if realization dawned on her. She was okay; she was safe, in a way. She was who she was now and she had to live with it. Looking at Jimmy she saw her reason why she continued over the years to keep learning and living. She wanted to know. She had always wanted to know, and now that she did she regretted part of it. Slowly a sob came from her, but not from being smacked. No it came from realization. Now the only thing that escaped from her were sobs as she looked upon two of the crewmembers bodies. She looked up at Jimmy and just hugged him and didn't let go.
Though Jimmy was frightened by what she had done he knew that deep down she was still Nemo and he held her close as he pulled her out of there and down to the boats where she remained clung to him crying. All the crew just looked at her in sympathy. They didn't know what it was like to be in her position, but they still felt her pain. They had a clue what she was going threw. It was more than any woman should ever have to go through. As her sobs continued and Jimmy continued stroking his hand through her hair and across her back, the roars from the Island still continued until they finally died down and nothing was heard except Nemo. She was the only one making any sounds.
Okay this chapter I had to alter a lot because it was to short and I wanted to make it longer. Plus I like It better this way because it gets more in depth with Nemo's past and her understanding it. Well anyways I hope you liked it because I worked extra hard on it.
