They had been gone all morning and afternoon. I tried resting a couple times but no luck. Someone pounded at my…at the captains door, and I
jumped up. "You might want to come see this" David said. Horrible thoughts rushed to my head and I felt sick as I ran up on deck. "Do you have
binoculars" I asked. I was handed a set and watched horrified as men scurried into the long boats. Right on their heels just like Carl had predicted
was the ape. "Oh my god" I said. Everyone had a set now and we watched in horror as the ape killed 3 more people and smashed another long
boat. "He's still going towards them! They need to get out of there" I heard someone say. I watched Ann as she tried to stop Englehorn from
shooting the ape with a harpoon. We watched as Carl hit the ape in the face with a chloroform bottle. We watched it still try and get to the boat
with Ann, but slip into unconsciousness before it could get to her.
"We need to go help them" I said as I walked over to a long boat and put some more ropes and chains on to the boat. "we'll go.. You stay here or the
captain will kill us" David said smiling. I sighed and watched as the 6 men went ashore. I paced back and forth nervously occasionally glancing at
the shore seeing what was going on. They ended up dragging the ape behind the boats. Because he was so heavy though it took them forever to
get back to the ship. I helped Ann back on the ship and gave her a really big hug. "I'm so glad you're ok" I said smiling. "It's because of him that
I'm ok" she said with tears in her eyes. "At least he's not dead" I said positively. "Come on! You look like you could use a bath, and some coffee" I
said as I helped her down to her cabin.
I ran some water in a tub by the boiler and left her. I brought back some coffee a few minutes later. I knocked softly on the door and walked in.
She was just sitting there in the tub with her knees pulled up to her chest. "I'm really glad your ok" I said. "I'm glad your ok too" she said forcing a
smile. Her face fell again and she started crying. "Carl's just going to use him, he probably won't actually take care of him or anything" Ann said as
she wiped her nose. "why don't you go with him and make sure he does" I asked. "I can't. I couldn't bear to see him chained up" she said. "Come
on get out of there before you get all pruny" I said changing the subject. She had just put on a robe when there was a knock at her door. I
answered it and saw Jack. "Oh Becky the captain wants you in the galley.. Is uh… Ann in there?" he asked. "I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU" she
shouted. "Ann I'm gonna go! I'll see you later" I said as I closed the door. "Damn Jack what did you do?" I asked. "I saved her life" he said as he
leaned up against the wall by her door. "She seems pretty pissed" I pointed out. "I didn't know about Carl's plan to trap the ape, I just wanted to
save her" he said. "Sorry it didn't work out between you two. You would have made an excellent couple" I said truthfully.
I walked into the galley and saw men sitting down on the ground. "Good he found you" Englehorn said. "yeah umm… what do you need?" I asked.
"I need your help bandaging up the men. David's at the helm" he said. He tossed me a 1st aid kit and I waited for the first person to sit down.
"Good god Preston what happened" I asked. "A rope snapped and hit me in the face" he said as he pulled his hand down from his face. "It's really
deep do you want me to bandage it?" I asked him. "Aren't you supposed to be the nurse?" he asked smiling. The captain walked over and looked
at Preston's cheek. "It's very deep. Do you want her to sew or cauterize?" he asked. Preston and I looked at each other. "Cauterize!" "Neither"
We said in unison. "You want me to cauterize it?" I asked him seriously. "Well I'm not a big fan of needles" he said shrugging. "Ok" I said unsurely.
A knife was placed over a burner as I cleaned his wound. "well since you can move your arm I think it's sprained, not broken. I'll make a sling" I
said as I grabbed a bed sheet and made a sling for him. "Are you ready?" I asked as I held up the glowing red knife. "Don't shut YOUR eyes"
Preston shouted. "Sorry I hadn't realized I closed them" I apologized. "I'll take it from here" Englehorn said. "Thanks" I said relieved.
I walked over to the person sitting in the other chair. "Are you ok?" I asked. "I thought the captain was looking at me?" he asked. "What you're to
good for me Jimmy?" I asked while arching an eyebrow. "No but I was mean to you" he said. " I was mean back it's ok" I said as I looked him over.
"Change into dry clothes! We don't want you catching pneumonia" I started. "You got some scratches here" I said as I dipped a rag in alcohol and
cleaned them. "Are your wrists or ankles sore?" I asked. "No I'm fine" he said. "Sorry I called you a stupid girl" he apologized. "Sorry I called you a
jerk" I apologized too. "Thanks you're a good little sister" he said as he gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. "You're a pretty good brother! Now go
change out of those clothes" I said smiling. We finished into the late hours of the night, and we headed towards Englehorn's quarters. "I'm gonna
go wash up" I said as I looked down at my dirty self.. "You'll need to get some good rest" I said as I started to walk away. "Becky…Come see me
when you're done" he said. "ok" I said as I nodded.
