Next chapter! I have been really busy this weekend, so I didn't get to update much. Very busy weekend. I do not want to get into it. Anyway, you will find out the traitor soon. Promise. It should be either this chapter or one of the next ones. I don't know yet. I guess that about covers it, so here's the next chapter...
Chapter 29
"Holy..." Gibbs turned his view to what Jack was looking at. Jack made his way through the area of feuding people. He managed to avoid get sliced , diced , and otherwise, cut. Gibbs followed close behind. Jack quickly picked up Emma's limp body. Her shirt was a dark red and still getting darker.
Jack made his way to the door that led to the Captain's Cabin. He kicked the door open, and came to James's bed. He laid Emma's limp body on the bed and traced her shirt looking for the source of the bleeding.
Finally finding the bullet, he teared off part of the shirt blocking the bullet hole. He fingered the hole trying to find the depth of the bullet. Fortunately it wasn't that deep...
Jack sighed. I'm going to have to cut it out. He thought, I hope I don't hurt her too much.
He pulled out his dagger, from the pocket of his coat, and slowly cut out the small item. The bleeding eased a bit, but it was still bleeding lightly. He tore a piece of the pillow case of the pillow Emma laid her head on, and wrapped it around the girl's waist.
I will hold, but I still need something to clean the wound. Jack thought, as he searched the cabin. Soon he spotted a liquor cabinet.
Rum! Exactly what I need! Jack headed over to the small table and opened the door of it.
Emma's POV
A field of flowers...a flowing waterfall...an ocean...
Emma looked around. "Where am I?"
"You dream world, my child, the place of your amazing imagination. The one place you can escape to whenever you please..."
"Mum? What are you doing here?"
Emma's mother stood in front of her. Her green eyes blazed with happiness, and her smile as gentle as a breeze. Her hair and long dress blew wildly from behind her, in the gentle ocean breeze.
"Mum, what am I doing here?"
"You were shot..."
"By who?"
"I cannot answer a question I don't know the answer too..."
Emma glanced around again.
"This is my mind?"
"It tis..."
"Then, where is everyone I love? Why aren't they here? It is after all my mind..."
"Only you can enter your mind, no anyone else..."
"How can I get out of this place?"
"It all depends..."
