Chapter 8 - A Familiar Someone

"So, wheres Mount Razphyre?" Asked Hailey.

"Well, rumours say that theres a portal in the Lost Desert somewhere that brings you there." Said Sam.

"Cool. Do you have a compass?"

"Ya." Sam took out his compass. Then he put it back into his pocket. "That way." He said, pointing to their left. Thye got off the board and started swimming that direction, stopping once in a while to catch their breath.

Midnight was dark in a couple of hours.

Hailey was lying on the wooden board. She was frightened and now regrets watching that horrible horror movies about monsters that live in the deep waters of the ocean that stalk random people who were wandering on the ocean. She heard Sams soft snoring. knowing that she was beside her took away a fraction of her fear. Worry also haunted her.

"Were out here in the middle of the ocean. No boat. no food. No luggage. Just this cursed amulet, this wooden board, Sam, and his things in his pockets. Soon, were going to starve to death. And to make this worse, times running out." Hailey groaned in misery. "Why me?" As she continued to look at the glowing stars, her eyes began to droop.

Hailey was about to fall asleep when a bright light shone on her. Suprised, she sat up, looking at the direction the light was coming from. She realized that the source of the light was was being held by a figure covered by the darkness of the night holding a flashlight on a boat.

Sam, who was wide awake, took out his dagger and made a bg leap into the boat and pointed the dagger at the figures throat.

The flashlight fell to the floor of the boat. It shone at the two, revealing the stranger. It turned out to be a young bori. 'Who are you and what do you want with us?" Said Sam.

The bori who was almost scared to death, stammered, "I-...um..."

Before the bori could make out a word, a mumble came from the other side of the boat. "ugh. Whats going on! I was in a middle of a good dream!" Said a femenin voice. A usul climbed out of her sleeping bag and yawned. She looked straight ahead. "What the hell is going on here!"

Hailey looked carefully and closer at the usul and gasped. "Oh my gosh! Hannah!" She ran up to the usul and gave her a hug.

"H-hailey!" Said the suprised usul, who hugged back. "So, whos that friend of yours?" She asked, looking at Sam with a worried expression.

"Oh, Sam?" Said Hailey. She noticed hannahs look on her face. "Sam, put that dagger away." She ordered.

Sam released the bori, who ran to Hannahs side immediately after that.

"you know who this is?" Asked Hannah, pointing at the little bori beside her.

"Well, ya. Isnt he the guy who accompanied you in your adventure in the ice caves? I saw his picture in the neopian times and i forgot his name." Said Hailey.

"Yup. Armins his name."

"Oh."

"So, what made you come all the way here?"

"I was just about to ask you the same question."

"Okay. You didnt show up at the ship station. After about three hours of waiting, i got all fed up. I wasnt sending all those dubloons for you tickets for nothing. So i was on my way to Meridell to pick you up in person. There. Now, your turn."

"I went to ship 24, as planned. Then pirates came and attacked the ship. This is when Sam comes in. he pretty much kidnapped and saved my life in the same time while i was knocked out because he was looking for any people who survived the cannons. He brought me to the pirate ship. There, i was announced as the slave of the pirates. I had to work. It was reallt tormenting. Much worse then my jod as janitor in Meridonalds.

This, in the middle of my job, Sam helped me escape, since he always hated being a pirate and he agreed to go and help me out. We got to see what maraqua looked like in reality and and meet a maraquian shoyru named Sandy. Weve been traveling with only a wooden board and what else we had for a day. Then we stumbled across you."

"Whoa, neat story! I see that theres enough proof that it all happened." Said Hannah, pointing at the wooden board, which was placed at the side of the boat. "Youre having as much adventure as ive had! Congrats! So, hungry?"

"Duh!"

Hannah yanked out a container of Krawk Island salad.

A/N: So, another chappie! Oh, and starting from the next chappie, Razphyre would be called Kyrosha. Ive decided that Razphyre would be used in somewhere else. Oh, and sorry that it took way longer to update. Too much projects were getting in the way of everything and most of them involved typing...and i suck at time management. I NEED SOME MORE REVIEWS! I only got four so far in the past chappies. Lots of people checked out my fic...around 40-50...and most of them didnt submit a review!
