Chapter 8
Crystal looked out her window. They were getting closer to Laputa. She looked barely see it over the dark clouds. She was still unsure of this place that her mother had never told her about. She was scared too. She wanted to go home. But what if she couldn't? But then again,she thought,what if mom and dad are looking for me and I see them there? They wouldn't leave me here with this guy. Especially not mom.
Crystal then looked out the window as the clouds started to clear. There she saw I giant tree floating in the sky. It was Laputa.
"Laputa."she whispered. "So this is it? This is what I'm supposed to be princess of? That tree?"
"It's not just any tree,"said Muska as he came in the room.
She gasped. "What are you talking about?!"
"That tree used to be a kingdom mind you. And then you reckless humans left for earth. Now this place is only a myth."
"I can see why,"she muttered. "Listen,I would just like to go home."
"That's not going to be easy."
"What?"
"This is where you are supposed to be princess."
She stood up and looked him in the eye. "If you're only doing this so you can be king you just forget it!"
He raised his hand and slapped her to the ground. "You're just like your mother. Not wanting to be royalty. Royalty has meaning and she just couldn't see that."
"Well maybe that's because she wanted something more that you couldn't see. My mother isn't that stupid,like you."
"Shut up you! I'm taking you to Laputa now,and there is nothing you can do about it."
"I don't care. As long as my mother is here there is nothing you can do."
"But are you sure your dear mother is even here?"
"She's here. I know she is. She wouldn't leave me behind. She's wouldn't."
"We'll see about that then. But now,you aren't moving an inch until we land."
Crystal held her head high. She wasn't going to let Muska get her down. She wasn't going to let him scare her. As soon as she got off of the ship she would go and find her mother and father. They have to be here,she thought. They just have to. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
Sheeta and Pazu were trying frantically to find their daughter,until Sheeta finally spotted Muska's ship. It's him,she thought. It just as to be him.
"Sheeta?"asked Pazu.
"Pazu,it's Muska. He's come back."
"He has our daughter too."
"We have to go now."
"Right."
Pazu led Sheeta over to the center part of Laputa were Muska's ship was landing. And they couldn't believe what they saw. But they were right. Muska did have their daughter with him.
"Pazu I have to go after him."
"Let me go with you."
She shook her head. "No Pazu. Please let me. It would be better if I did."
"Alright. I'll be here if you need me."
"Ok. Thank you Pazu."
"And Sheeta?"
"Yes Pazu?"
"Be careful out there. And here,take this,"he said as he gave her one of the guns that Dola had given him. "Come back ok?" He hugged and kissed her.
"I will Pazu."
"I love you."
"Love you too Pazu. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
