Lost at Sea-my version

Ch.20: I'll Return

Two figures appeared out of the bushes as everyone took alarm. Cody took out his small knife, but before them, appeared to be familiar to Cody, Bailey, Maddy, Woody, Zack and London.

"Mr. Moseby?" everyone exclaimed. Cody put his knife away.

"Oh my gosh!" Mr. Moseby said. "We found you all!"

"You kids are alright!" cried the second person, which was the teacher Ms. Tutwheiller. A man stopped forward, spear at hand. Mr. Moseby and Ms. Tutwheiller feared.

"Oh," Mr. Moseby said. "Please don't-"

"Na Si Jan" Maddy said to the man as she still laid on the ground, really injured, blood still oozing out. She stepped up to him, she motioned to lower his spear with her arm. "Yuko Han Kan Sin"

The man nodded and stepped away. Mr. Moseby stepped forward to the hurt Maddy.

"Maddy," Mr. Moseby said. "What happened to you?"

"How did you find us?" Maddy asked.

"We found the boat washed up to shore," Mr. Moseby said. "We saw that it read S.S Tipton when we came across it."

"The S.S Tipton is here?" Zack asked stepping up to Mr. Moseby.

"We can get back on the ship?" London asked.

"Yes," Mr. Moseby said. "Please, you have been gone for at least two months"

"Two months?!" Zack said as if surprised.

"It has been a long time hasn't it" Ms. Tutwheiller said. "Please let's return to the ship, before these people attack us"

"These men will not attack you" Maddy said roughly, from where she laid down.

"How would you know?" Ms. Tutwheiller asked.

"She is one of them" Kala said.

"On-One of them?" Mr. Moseby stuttered, in his usual way.

"Shawiran fought the vicious Shuwai twice, coming out nearly dead" Chen said. "She has reunited both parts of our tribe."

"Wait, wait," Ms. Tutwheiller said. "Who are you?"

"We are the Nishawniera Tribe," the Chief said.

"The Nishaw?" Ms. Tutwheiller asked. "But you were all wiped-"

"They migrated here after they were captured 300 years ago. Every since then they lived here." Maddy said, roughly. Her voice was quivering, she was starting to die.

"Well please," Mr. Moseby said. "Can you get up?"

Maddy shook her head.

"Shawiran is too injured to get up" the Chief said.

"Then we have to get her in a boat." Mr. Moseby said. "She will die out here if we don't send her back to modern Medicare"

The Chief was about to disagree, but he nodded his head instead. He said something in the Nishawan language and two men transported Maddy to the shoreline. The village followed. Maddy was loaded onto the boat Mr. Moseby and Ms. Tutwheiller came in. A boy walked up to her.

"Please don't go Shawiran," it was Uero. Maddy lifted her hand, laying it on his cheek.

"Don't worry Uero," Maddy whispered softly. "I'll return"

She brushed a tear coming out of his eye. He handed her something. It was a painting.

"I painted this for you," he said. "Before those mean Indians attacked again"

Maddy took the picture. She took a good look at it.

"Tok Are" Maddy said, meaning "Good Job"

Uero smiled. He walked away to his mom. The Chief came up to her.

"Shawiran," he said as he placed her cape she received the day she got her name. He laid to down on her. "We thank you for what you have done for us. We hope to see your face soon."

Maddy nodded.

"Don't worry," Maddy said. "I'll return someday"

The Chief smiled.

"Naj Harkan" the Chief said.

"Naj Harkan" Maddy replied. The Chief walked away, next came Chen and Kala. Kala spoke first.

"We'll miss you Shawiran" Kala said. "You taught us a lot about your world"

Maddy smiled.

"Someday we wish to visit your world" Chen said. "We will someday"

"Next time I come," Maddy paused, a surge of pain went through her. "I'll take you back with me, if that's alright with your father"

Kala and Chen smiled.

"But I will return" Maddy said. All three of them grinned. Kala pulled out something.

"The women of the tribe wanted me to give this to you" Kala said. It was my sword. "To hang up somewhere"

I smiled as she put in the boat. Chen came up to me.

"You are a great girl Maddy," Chen said. "I really admire your bravery and well what do you call it, trust."

"You're a great man Chen," Maddy spoke. "I call you a man because you prove to be one. You're strong, brave, hopeful and you were there when I was down. You're a great man."

Chen smiled. He took off his necklace. He set it into the boat.

"This is my necklace," Chen said. "I want you to have because this necklace can show you the way back"

Maddy smiled. Maddy grabbed his hand before he walked away.

"Good luck when you become Chief" Maddy said. "Wish I could be there,"

"You need to heal" Chen said.

"I'll miss you Chentin" Maddy said. Cody came to them.

"It's time to go" Cody said. Maddy nodded.

"Naj Harkan" Maddy said to Chen.

"Naj Harkan" Chen said. Everyone climbed into the boat and they rowed to the ship, Maddy watched the village wave good-bye. Maddy let a tear slip, she was going to miss that place. Chentin watch her dissapear to the ship about a mile away. His father looked at him.

"Go with her"
