A Boat Called Moon Goddess: Chapter 3
The men stood towering over her at the door. Serenity's mind could only think of why they could be here. She was terrified to know why.
"Serenity Collins?" She heard on of the officers ask her. So scared of what had happened, she could only nod in response. "Do you know why we are here?" The same policeman said.
"No, I'm sorry, I don't," Serenity answered. Fear filled hr as she waited to know.
"We are here to collect your house. You are very behind on your mortgage payment. Are you aware of that Miss Collins?"
A quick feeling of relief passed over her when she knew it wasn't Travis. But now panic set in for the loose of her house.
"Please… I know I am behind, but it's hard to earn money. I… I have some of it. Come in while I get it," Serenity stammered then she dashed for the kitchen.
She came back and held the money out to them. The man that wasn't a cop stepped forward and took it from her. He counted the money and shook his head.
"You are still far from the required payment," the man said.
"I… I know but… but please, just give me some time. I… I will get it." Serenity looked down in shame.
"How much time do you want!? You've had plenty!" The man yelled.
"Please," Serenity begged. "I only want a week. Please I'll have your money then."
"Alright," the man said. " You have a week." The three turned and left with the only money Serenity had.
Serenity closed the door and leaned against it. A few tears slid down her face. How would she make that kind of money in a week? She headed off to bed with a lot on her mind.
The next morning Serenity rose early before the sun was even up. She wandered the house gathering a few things for the long day of work. There was still no sign of Travis.
Stepping outside the house and locking the door, Serenity ventured out towards the docks. The morning was dark and cold as it rained. She shivers as she neared her destination.
Serenity entered the docks and passed by John's office. Hearing noise he looked out the door and spotted Serenity. She was heading to her boat.
"Serenity! Wait!" John yelled running into the rain. Serenity stepped and turned on her heels to face him.
"What is it John?" She asked frustrated.
"You can't go out. There is a storm. Your boat will never last. I can't let you go," John said in a rush.
"I don't care! I need to work over time. Storm or no storm I'm going!" With that Serenity turned back around and boarded her boat. John stood and watcher her pull away from dock. A man came up and stood next to John.
"She's insane to go out in this weather," John said to the man next to him.
The man just nodded and then walked towards his own boat.
"Now where are you going?" John asked confused.
The man turned and smiled. "Can't let a pretty young lady go out there alone." The man then turned back around and got his own boat.
John watched as the man pulled away. "You're crazy! You're both crazy! You'd make a good couple!" John yelled then proceeded to go back inside.
The waves pounded Serenity's boat. She pushed some nets over board and moved back to the stirring wheel. Water poured over the edge making the deck slick. Serenity was soaked to the bone due to the rain and water.
Serenity held the wheel tightly determined to keep going as another wave rocked the boat. A wave came over the side and knocked Serenity from the wheel. Grabbing a rope that held the nets, she pulled herself up.
She began to pull the nets up. With all her strength she hauled the wet nets, but also held herself on the ship. Once the nets were aboard she began to put them and the many fish they held in an under deck compartment.
With success she was able to get them all in safely. The waves and rain pounded her small body. Serenity moved towards the wheel once more.
Huge waves cause the small boat to nearly tip over. Serenity was thrown into the wheel and was knocked out. Another wave came over the ship and washed Serenity's limp body over.
Another larger boat came near Moon Goddess. The captain watched as Serenity was thrown over.
"Shit!" The man yelled. He quickly grabbed a rope tired to the boat and jumped off.
The man, being very strong, he swam to where Serenity had gone under. He dove under and searched. The salt water stung at his eyes. He came up and looked. There was still no sign off her. He dove again to search.
