Chapter-3 Names

I have Boot Strap Bill take care of the girl, of all the men he is the least likely to assault her. I am walking down to the room we have put her in, to check on how she is doing. As I walk in I see Boot Strap caring for a bump on the girls forehead.

"How is she-uh?"

"She has a huge bruise on her head, she seems malnourished as well. Other than that she is fine."

"Has she woken or said anything-uh?"

"No, but I think it wont be long till she wakes"

Just as he said this she stirred, a small groan came from her. When she opened her eyes and saw us she gasped. Who could blame her? For we did look like monsters.

"What is your name-uh?" was the first question I asked her. But though it looked like she tried to speak nothing came out.

"Come on girl, can't you speak-uh?"

She shook her head.

"Why-uh?"

She just looked away. I sigh she has got to have a name, maybe I can come up with one.

"Fine then, I will name you-uh"

She didn't look like she was going to argue.

"Anna-uh?"

She shook her head no.

"Emma?"

Again a no.

After seemingly hours of going through every last female name I get to the last one I know.

"Adara-uh"

I am rewarded with a nod.

"It means 'the maiden',it also means 'noble'"

She smiles and I feel a jolt, I just shake it off as me being happy that this picky girl finally has a name.

I turn to Boot Strap.

"Get her some food. And make sure no one comes near, you know what most will do-uh"

"Yes Captain"

--------------------------------------------------Adara's POV---------------------------------------------------------

The one the man with sea weed hair called "Captain" turns to leave. So now I have a name, I know I had one before this one but it has faded to the point I may never remember. The man gives me a bowl and a spoon.

"Eat it, it may not be the best stuff in the world but I made sure it wasn't spoiled"

He watches to make sure I take a bite, he's right it tastes horrible but I eat it anyway.

"By the way my name is Boot Strap."

I smile and nod, after all that is all I can do. I realize that I need to learn how to speak again or I will never be able to communicate with anyone here. That is my last thought as I drift off to sleep.
