Chapter 2

"Gel would you please shut up," yelled May who was tired of hearing her whine.

"But I was just saying that I was tired of being on this boat."

"Well we all are Gel. We have been stuck on this boat for two weeks, so please stop complaining about it."

Salene moved over to where May was sitting at, "You know you didn't have to go yell at her you know."

"I know but it's just so fustrating not to say anything with the tension being so think and us all stuck togheter."

"Well...."

All of a sudden there was a yell coming from the other side of the boat

"Look, look," yelled Sammy pointing to the side of the boat "there's land."

Everyone rushed to where he was standing to see and looked to see where he was pointing.

Soon everyone started to get exciting over the prospect of new land.

"Hold on everyone before we get too exicited we have to make that it's safe," said Amber.

"But Amber we're all ready to get off of this boat now. Gel, Lex, and Ram can hardly keep what little they have in their stomachs down and also we don't hardly have any food or fresh water left," said Salene.

Jay then stepped forward, "Salene's got a point Amber, we really need to get off this boat before we are all sick."

"Well then I guess we better get everyone together and meet up top and i'll go let Trader know what we are gonna do," said Amber.

Everyone then left to go and get there things together.

Jack went down below to let everybody else know that they were gonna be landing soon. As he reached Ebony's room he heard sobbing coming from it. Jack knocked on the door before pushing it open, "Ebony are you ok," he asked.

Ebony looked up at Jack with a tear stained face showing so much emotion that he had never seen displayed on her face since her fight with Slade.

"He..he hates me Jack."

"No he doesn't Eb he may just.."

"No Jack," she interrupted "He hates me, I done somthing so unforgiviable in his eyes."

As Jack put his arms around her she started to cry harder.

Before they could continue Salene came into the room to let Ebony know they had

docked when she saw Jack already there.

"Are you ok Ebony" asked Salene.

"Yeah she's fine," replied Jack before Ebony could say anything.

"Ok, well we're having a meeting upstairs now before we off the boat," Salene said before turning a leaving the room.

Jack and Ebony sat in silence for a few more moments before getting up to leave.

"Jack," called out Ebony, he turned and looked back "thanks for the talk."

"No problem," he said exiting to go upstairs.
