A Boat Called Moon Goddess: Chapter 11
The rest of the day as for the next two days went by quickly. But despite the lack of activities, Serenity wasn't making much money. She had only earned $150 dollars in two days, which still left $300 dollars to be earned.
Serenity tossed and turned in bed. Tomorrow would be the last day for her to make the rest of the money. How could she possibly do it?
Throwing the covers off of her, Serenity stood up. She pulled on some clothes and exited her room. Carefully she crept by Darien who was sleeping on the couch. Checking on Travis quickly, Serenity left the house and headed down the road.
As quietly as she could, Serenity pushed away from dock and headed out to sea.
The cool night air blew by her. Thousands of stars and a full moon lit the night sky. Serenity took a deep breath, her worries easing a little.
Serenity could remember nights just like this so many years ago with her father. They would sleep on the boat and her father would teach her all the constellations. Out of all the beautiful objects in the night sky, Serenity loved the moon the most. It just looked so peaceful.
Taking her eyes off the moon, she took a glance around the boat. Her father had really loved the boat. Then Serenity realized something.
The boat... that was her father's true home. She could even vaguely remember him telling her that one night.
Serenity's blue eyes scanned the boat again. The moonlight glinted of something and caught Serenity's eye. She walked towards the object. Bending down for a closer look, Serenity realized there was a small hole in the dock. With some effort on her part the board finally came up.
Under where the board revealed a box. It was metal which was badly rusted due to the sea air and water. Carefully picking the box up, Serenity noticed it was slightly heavily. The box second with an old pad-lock, which like the box, had been rusted.
Serenity placed the box on the dock and ran her fingers over it. She took a deep breath after she realized what it was. She looked around the boat, then she lowered the box back into the hole. Securing the board over it, Serenity wen to the wheel and headed Moon Goddess towards home.
Upon arriving back at her dock, Serenity tied the boat, then removed the rusted box from the hole once again.
Serenity walked down the dock with the box under her arm. After she passed John's office, she took off running. The sun was just beginning to rise.
Darien walked by the front door on the search of Serenity. As soon as he passed it, someone came barging through the door and crashed into him.
Darien wrestled with the person for a few seconds then pinned them down. He held the person's shoulders tightly, but quickly released them when he heard a familiar cry of pain.
He quickly jumped off the person and pulled them to their feet.
"Serenity! I am so sorry! It's just that you surprised me," he quickly apologized then gave her a tight hug.
"I'm fine Darien, it's ok," Serenity said pulling away and bending down to pick up the box.
Darien gave her a confused look. "What's that?"
Serenity smiled at him then walked to the kitchen. "I'm not sure yet, but it could be the answer to all our problems." She placed the box on the table and examined the lock. "I found it under a board on deck." She looked up at Darien. "I think it's my father's secret stash."
Serenity then went to the sink and opened a cabinet door under it. She pulled out an old toolbox. She placed the toolbox on the table as Darien at the lock.
"It's badly rusted," he told her. "Should be easy to break."
Darien took out a large hammer. He raised his hand and brought it down quickly, hitting the lock making sparks. Travis entered the room slowly. He looked at Serenity and Darien curiously. Travis stood next to Darien as he took another swing at the lock.
With a few more hits, the lock fell to the table with a loud bang.
Darien smiled and lowered the hammer. Serenity slowly reached out and opened the box.
Her eyes widened at what was revealed.
