Exodus Part 2:
After the Raft went up in flames, my people sent word back that Walt had been taken by the Others and I came immediately. Walt needed to be with us and that would only happen once we were sure they were safely near the Island. I took my strongest warriors with us as we headed to intercede with the small craft that had taken Walt in the first place. As we neared the camp of the Others we slowed down a little but not that much. They needed to know that what they had done was not welcome and that we would not stand for it anymore. It was morning by the time the small craft made it back to the Camp, but they never made it to the dock. We popped up in front of them and used our own different powers to stop them from going anywhere.
I popped up next to the boat, right next to where Walt was sitting and grabbed his hand. He needed no further instruction on what to do. He took off the Life Vest and jumped into the water as the men scrambled to grab him. They scrambled to get him back in the boat all the while calling out for help. Their people were on the dock with weapons but they knew better. I removed something from my bag and gave it to Walt to use while we were underwater. It was an external breathing device that he would need to breathe through while we swam. My warriors let the boat go and we headed back the way we had come. Fortunately for us and unfortunately for the Others, this was not the first child we had taken back from them. When they had taken the children from the Tail End Survivors, we had stolen back those kids as well.
Now as we made our way back to our city, Walt held on a little tighter, not wanting to lose me. I had often told him of my city and how beautiful it was and that one day he would be able to see for himself. Now he would be able to see my city and live in it until the time came to be reunited with his father and the rest of the survivors. We could not interfere with the adults that were taken as they were not so easy to handle. Children on the other hand were extremely easy to handle and convince that we were the safer party to stay with.
Once back at the city, I entered first with Walt. Once we were within the city, my warriors and I became human again and I showed Walt to where he would be staying. He had a million questions but I told him that I would answer them in the morning, after he had gotten some rest. He took that as a request to get some sleep and respectively did so. When morning came, I was at his door waiting for him. He followed me to our Cafeteria and was offered some food that would help him heal from his ordeal. He wanted to know when he was going back to his father and I told him that he wasn't, that at the moment he was safer in the City than he was on the Island. He seemed to take that answer but asked me to get word to his father that he was safe and that he would be safe until the two could be reunited.
How will the survivors react to hearing that Walt is in an underwater Mermaid City? How will Michael react?
