The Ocean Blue
Chapter 3 A Wave of Conversations
"They hate us now. They don't want us to come back."
"Oh…"
There was a moment of silence when Christian spoke up, "Wait a second… Where are we going to go?"
Annibell replies, "Well… I don't know. All I know is that we're not wanted here, and mother and John want us far away from them."
"We don't have enough money for a train…" he says, thinking.
They stop and sit on a bench at a park.
"Oh, I know!" exclaims Annibell.
"What?"
"We can get a ship!"
Christian looks confused. "How are we going to get a ship?"
"I don't know, but we'll figure it out. I know it… At least I think I know it…." she answers.
"I'm hungry," says Christian. "Let's go get something to eat."
And they're off to a resturant.
Their walk to the resturant was a quiet one. The only time one of them talk was either when someone says, "Hi, how are you?" or something similar to that.
When they arrive at the resturant, they find a booth to sit at. The waitress comes and says, "Hi, how are you two this afternoon?" And she smiles, and hands both of them a menu.
"I'm fine thanks," Christian replies. Annibell didn't seem to hear her. Her brother nudges his sister in the ribs. Annibell says a silenced 'Ow!' and says trying to sound pain-free, "I'm good!"
"I'll come back in a moment or so," says the waitress and walks away.
Annibell looks at Christian. "Thanks for not making me look like a total idiot."
He replies, "Hey, that's what brothers are for!"
Annibell notices that they're sitting on the same side of the booth. "Hm… Do you realize that we're on the same side of this booth?" She chuckles.
He looks. "Oh!" He laughs. "Yeah, I'll go on the other side."
He goes to the other side of the booth. Now they start looking at the menu. Again, there's a moment of silence.
The waitress comes back. "Hi again!" She smiles. "Do you have your order figured out yet?"
"Yes, um, I would just like to have a salad with no dressing, and a cup of water, please," says Annibell.
"All right, and what about you sir?"
"Just a cup of water, please," says Christian.
"Okay! I'll be back in a few minutes with your orders!" the waitress says happily and walks off.
"So now how're we going to get a ship?" asks Christian.
"Well… I guess we'll borrow one!"
Christian sighs. "Fine, I guess. But I'm not going to let you think of the plan. It seems like your plans always turn out wrong." He chuckles.
Annibell smiles. "All right."
The waitress came back with their drinks and Annibell's salad. "Here you go!" And she walks off.
"Annibell," Christian says. "You know Donovan Royale? The man who worked with father?"
She nods.
"Well, he talked to me today before I went to the house, and he talked about father. It seems like he thinks father is alive… I don't get it."
"Yeah, Donovan's head is way in the past. Literally. So I suggest not to trust what he says," says Annibell with her mouth full of salad.
Christian took a drink of his water. "Oh. All right. Now I'm not as much confused as before."
Annibell smiles. "Well, I'm finished with my salad."
Christian looks at her confusedly.
"Yeah, yeah. I know I only ate a few bites." She realizes he still looks confused. "I wasn't that hungry!"
"Oh, okay then," says Christian. He puts a twenty-dollar bill on the table. "This should cover it." And they got up and left the resturant.
