Chapter 17
Rhia woke with moonlight streaming in through a crack in the wall. It lit her face and the room. She lay where she was for a moment until she realized she was lying on David, but couldn't really move because she'd either fall back out of the hammock, or wake him up. Neither of which were decent ideas. But it wasn't an uncomfortable position; she was just a little shocked. Finally memories of the previous night came back; she laid her head back on his chest and thought about the plan. Her back still ached from the numerous lashings she had received. But there was nothing else to do, she had to get off this ship, free her mother and grandfather, and in essence her father, who was undoubtedly next in line. She closed her eyes and listened to the rhythmic beating of David's heart. It was just a steady quiet thump, thump, thump, thump, thump. She opened her eye when she heard another, irregular thump. She lifted her head slightly to see what had made it. It was her mother; she had just clambered out of her hammock. Mari looked over and saw them. She quietly tiptoed over.
"Come on, it's time we need to go. Wake David, I'll wake your grandfather." She whispered. Rhia nodded slowly. Rhia fidgeted a little and slowly sat up; the hammock wobbled and started to tip. She reached out in reflex but caught nothing; she was about to fall when a hand caught hers. David was awake now and had kept her from falling.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
"Yes, thanks. It's time to go." She whispered David sat up slowly and Rhia scooted to the other side to balance it out. They set foot on the floor at the same time and pulled on their boots.
"Is everybody ready?" Bill asked in a gruff whisper. They all nodded. As they left David took Rhia aside.
"Please be careful Rhi, I don't want anything to happen to you."
"Don't worry, I'm a Sparrow, I can do anything. And I ain't afraid of nothin." She said. David nodded and they went on deck to set the plan in motion
