Chapter 7
Piers sighed as he steered the ship alongside of Atteka. Felix had decided that they would pass Jupiter Lighthouse instead of making their way to Contigo through way of the Atteka Inlet. His steering of the ship had been horrible today. He had a lot on his mind, after all. The memory of kissing Jenna kept popping up in his mind and refused to let him forget. Not that he wanted to forget; he just wished that it would come back at another time.
He heard a clatter and a crash of wooden boxes and crates falling over and Jenna stumbled into sight. She was pale and sickly looking.
"Jenna?" Piers called out, worriedly.
Jenna looked up at him, her eyes swirling with a hazy mist as she continued to stumble uncoordinatedly across the deck towards him. "Piers..." she said softly, before collapsing to the ground.
"Jenna!" he yelled, running towards her, the wheel taking a sharp turn, causing the boat the tilt violently.
The sudden shift in direction caused Felix, Sheba, and Alex to come above deck.
"Jenna!" Felix shouted, running towards his unconscious sister as Piers pulled her up, her head on his lap.
The ship swerved again and Alex took the wheel. "Geez, you two! I know you're worried about Jenna but did you ever stop to think that we'll all die if this ship crashes and we drown?"
Felix was shaking his sister's shoulders, desperately trying to wake her. "Jenna, Jenna wake up! Come on, open your eyes!"
Jenna groaned. "No, let me go. I want to go..."
Felix continued to shake her. "Jenna, you have to fight, you have to come back to us."
"No, I don't want to fight. I want to leave." She continued to mumble in her sleep. "I want to go with her."
"With who?" Felix asked, as if he expected an answer.
Jenna's head lolled back and her hands clenched Felix's arms tightly. "Let go! I want to go with her!"
Felix let go of Jenna's shoulders and in a sudden flash of light, Jenna disappeared into thin air.
