The sun's bright rays blinded the young woman who stirred in her sleep as the light filtered through her window. She grunted and rolled onto her side before the sounds coming from the kitchen reached her and took her away from a dreamless sleep.

"Rosa! Wake up!" A woman's voice called for the young woman as the banging of pots could be heard mixed with the deep voice of a man and a younger man's voice. Rosa sighed before pushing her covers away and swinging her legs to the edge of the bed. She breathed deeply and could smell the salt of the air along with the breakfast being prepared in the kitchen.

Maria served the scrambled eggs with sausage onto the four plates that were set on the table and seated herself along with her husband and son. A few minutes later, Rosa appeared and took a seat next to Maria's son ,Carlos. "Buenos dias Rosa." Carlos greeted with a grin. Maria and her husband Juan glanced at each other knowingly before greeting Rosa. The entire town knew that Carlos was in love with Rosa, while the target of the affection remained oblivious.

After breakfast, Carlos rushed to catch up with Rosa who was headed to the beach to work on her current boat. Carlos and his family were dedicated to the building and fixing of boats and other watercraft, and since Rosa lived with them, she joined in the family business. Carlos was fascinated to see the salty breeze of the ocean that caused Rosa's blonde locks to flow freely down her shoulders. Rosa turned and found Carlos staring at her, "Carlos, are you going to remain there all day or will you come help me?" Carlos was snapped out of his trance by the girl's voice and quickly hurried to help her. Rosa rolled her eyes and continued to the beach.

"Hey Rosa, are you okay?" Carlos asked when he looked up from his paint job to see Rosa's lilac eyes staring out into the crystal blue ocean. "Yea. I'm okay." She replied before returning to her job. Carlos shrugged and also returned to work. Rosa had come into their lives almost five years ago when the girl appeared in town in a horrible shape. She seemed lost and confused and spoke the Spanish language with difficulty. She did not seem to remember who she was or where she came from, and not many people approached her. Maria's maternal instinct kicked in when she saw the poor girl and decided to bring her home where she fed her, clothed her, and taught her. Maria had decided to name her Rosa, which meant rose in English, and had taught her not only the language fluently but other skills, including the skills and handiwork required for building and fixing boats. Carlos paid no mind to Rosa's weird behavior since it was not something rare for the girl. She would spend entire nights on the beach just looking out trying to figure out her past, but she remained unsuccessful.

Rosa focused into her work but her gaze shifted towards the ocean momentarily and she repeated the question in her mind that plagued every second of her life.

'Who am I and why do I feel so empty?"

-------

A couple hundred miles away from the sandy beach that tormented Rosa's existence, a large cruise ship traveled at high speeds through the waters as it left a foaming trail behind it.

The giggling of a young girl approached Jody at a fast speed along with soft tapping sound of sandals traveling atop the poolside ceramic flooring. Jody smiled instinctively as a heavy weight jumped atop of her in a failed attempt to surprise her.

"Kary!" Jody greeted with a grin as she swung her arms around the four year girl who grinned down at her and giggled, "Tia Jody, can we go inside the pool?"

Jody nodded before turning to her side where her wife Jayden was chatting on the phone. Jayden glanced towards Jody who a hand motioned to let her know she was leaving with Karyme. Jayden nodded and returned to her talk as Jody stood up and took Karyme by the hand towards the bridge. Karyme saw the direction they were headed and frowned, "Tia Jody, pool is not this way." Jody smiled, "I know Kary, but we need to get your swimming suit. You don't want to get that beautiful outfit wet do you?" Karyme looked down to her sailor outfit and smiling, pulled her aunt Jody faster towards the bridge as she chanted, "Let's go! Let's go!"

"Lower speed by 10 knots as we near the island." The captain's voice announced in the control room as she leaned back on her chair. She was the captain of one of the most prestigious cruise ships in the world. Although it was large in size, it carried a fairly small amount of people who were rich enough to pay for the trip which gave them the peace of mind that they needed when taking a vacation from their busy lives.

"Yes captain." One of the men in the bridge announced as he did as told. They would be passing by a tropical island soon and the captain wished for her passengers to enjoy the view of the island even if they couldn't dock there.

The door to the bridge opened and revealed a small girl whose short honey blonde hair left her lilac colored eyes clear to see the world before her. The girl ran up to the captain who instantly picked her up and pressed a kiss onto the girl's cheek. "Are you being a good girl Kary?" She asked with a smile. The girl nodded furiously, "Yes mami. Tia Jody is taking me swimming." Jody waved to the captain, "We came to get her swimsuit."

The captain nodded and fished a set of keys from her uniform pocket, "Here Jody, and thanks for looking after Kary. You know how she can be when left alone." Jody laughed, "No worries Nadie, you know I love this girl as if she were my own."

Nadie smiled and handed the keys to the captain's quarters to Jody, "Okay Kary, go with tia Jody and behave okay? I will see you later okay baby?" Karyme nodded and giggled as her mother placed her down. Jody took the young girl's hand and led her to get her swimsuit.

Mark, one of the officers in the ship underneath Nadie, smiled, "Karyme is growing up so fast isn't she?" Nadie smiled as she seated herself once more, "Yea, she is." All of the workers in the ship knew Karyme ever since Nadie began working on the ship since she had always had the child with her. "Hey Nadie, I was wondering if you wanted to attend the ball next week with me?" Mark asked hopefully. The moment he had set sight of the captain, he had tried to court her, but failed each time, this not being an exception. "Sorry Mark, I'm afraid I'll have to refuse your generous offer." Nadie responded as she took a hold of the receptor and activated the intercom system.

"Hello passengers of El Cazador. This is your Captain Nadie here to inform you that we will be docking in pueblo La Mirada tomorrow morning. Despite its small size, the town is filled with tourist attractions like archeological sites, and a market filled with a large variety of souvenirs and goods. We will stay there for two days and then leave to Cancun. I hope you are enjoying your trip so far and are ready for even more fun in the sun!"

The next morning, the ship was docked in the town of La Mirada and the people had debarked to explore the small, yet rich in heritage town.

"Mami! Mami! Tia Jody and Tia Jayden are waiting for us. Hurry please!" Karyme called as she jumped up and down her mother's bed before Nadie came out from the bathroom and grabbed the girl from the bed and placed her on the ground. "No jumping on the bed Kary, I don't want you to get hurt." The woman said as she turned to the large mirror to make sure she looked presentable. She wore a pair of jeans that hugged her curves and a short-sleeved shirt underneath a white blazer that was tailor especially for her, made of the finest material that fitted perfectly into the warm yet breezy weather of the area.

"Mami, are you ready?" Karyme asked hopefully as she grabbed her mother's hand. Nadie looked down to her daughter and met the lilac gaze that was identical to the person who stole her heart.

"Yes Kary, I'm ready."

-------

"Look Kary, isn't this cute?" Jayden asked as she held out a small figurine of a turtle whose head bobbed up and down. Karyme smiled and reached out to pet it, "Will it bite me?" Jody laughed, "You know it! It will rip your finger off!" Karyme frowned and slammed the turtle figure away from Jayden's palm. Jody couldn't stop laughing as she paid for the broken toy that her niece had destroyed.

Nadie looked around the market and was fascinated to see all the variety of stuff sold there. There were clothes, food, produce, toys, figurines, and much more than anything imaginable in such a small town. They moved along to the next stall where Nadie spotted a small shoulder bag that would match perfectly with Karyme's outfit. She glanced down to her right where her daughter's gaze was focused on some foreign object, and released her hand to pick up the bag, since her right hand was already occupied with previous shopping.

"Excuse me, how much is this?" She asked in Spanish to the owner of the stall as she held out the small bag that was decorated with bright colored flowers of all colors. "Thirty-five pesos." The woman replied. Nadie smiled and handed her the money. "Look Kary, this is for you." Nadie said as she turned to her daughter.

Nadie's heart began to beat rapidly as she looked around and found no sight of the girl. "Kary? Kary come her baby." She called out as her eyes darted around the area but remained without finding the girl. Jody and Jayden, who were at a different stall at the time, turned when Nadie came up behind them with tears, "Jody, I can't find Karyme. I don't know where she went."

"We need to split up and look for her." Jody said as she tried to keep calm, although inside she felt scared. She had heard of kids being taken away from their parents to either be sexually exploited or to sell their body parts in the black market. Jody quickly shook those thoughts away as they all separated in the search for the girl.

Rosa sighed as she peeled the hard shell of a coconut that she was attempting to eat. The morning breeze was refreshing to her as she took a break from her work. She glanced over to see the upside-down boat she was working on, its paint still fresh from her recent work.

She grinned when the coconut was free from its outer shell and made a hole in it to drink its delicious juice. As she tipped her head back to drink, she heard the faint sound of steps on the beach nearing her and the giggles of a young girl.

Rosa placed the coconut down as she sat up and saw a small blonde girl chasing after a small puppy. The small animal raced towards Rosa and jumped on her lap, the young girl not far behind him. Karyme stopped in front of the woman who was seated on the sand and smiled. "Is that your puppy?" She asked in English as she pointed to the puppy in Rosa's lap. Rosa's eyes widened upon hearing the girl speak the foreign language and figured she was the daughter of a foreign tourist.

"Ye-yes, this is Simba, like the lion from the movie." Rosa responded with a smile. The pup barked and jumped playfully atop Karyme who giggled, "I like Simba. I like him." Rosa stood up and took the pup from atop the girl. She glanced around and looked down to the girl, "Where is your mom and dad?"

Karyme looked around and shrugged, "I don't know. Mami is in her ship. El Cazador." Rosa nodded and noticed the girl had used the term mami for her mother, the Spanish word for mom. Rosa kneeled to the level of the girl, and realized the girl's eyes were like an exact replica of her own, "Let's go take you with mom okay?"

Carlos walked over towards Rosa where she was kneeling in front a small blonde girl. Carlos also noticed the resemblance between their eyes. "Yes. Mami is in her ship el cazador." Carlos heard the girl say the familiar Spanish word and remembered hearing the name in the town when some townsfolk where talking about a cruise ship that was coming to town soon.

"Did she get lost?" He asked and Rosa nodded, "Yea, her mom must be in the cruise ship. I'm going to take her."

"I'll go with you then." Carlos said quickly. "Okay." Rosa said as she picked up the girl in her arms and began walking away towards the docks. Simba and Carlos followed behind them.

-------

"Nadie, Nadie, it's okay, we'll find her." Jayden tried to comfort the woman who had her face hidden in her hands as tears streamed down. Jody paced back and forth nervously since they had yet to find the girl. Nadie had broken down and had not stopped crying. Most people who didn't know her would be surprise that the usually rough captain would break down so easily, but Jody and Jayden were aware of the real Nadie and how much Karyme meant to her. Not only was she her only daughter but she was the only thing she had left from the love of her life.

The sound of Nadie's cell phone ringing startled her as she quickly pulled it out and saw it was from the ship.

"Wha-what is it?"

"Captain Nadie, Karyme is here in the bridge waiting for you along with the woman and a man who brought her in."

Nadie shot up from her seat on the plaza bench. "I will be there in a few minutes. Keep Karyme and the couple who brought her in there. Do not let them leave understand?"

"Understood Captain."

Nadie placed her cell phone away and turned to Jody and Jayden, "Kary is in the ship. Let's go."

As they made their way back to the cruise ship, Nadie's heart beat rapidly knowing she would see her daughter again.
