Chapter V
Malachai
Sebastian should be back by now. What's keeping him? Malachai thought, looking out at the dock, watching for Sebastian to come back. I doubt that Trolls came again like last time. But, then again, nothing's impossible.
"Malachai!" Alan was calling him, holding Sebastian, followed by Miranda and Cassie. "Malachai! Come quick! We need your help!" How on Earth? "What happened?" he asked, running over to help Alan bring Sebastian onboard.
"No time now. Up." he grunted, as they carefully carried Sebastian over the railing of the ship. "I'll explain later. Where can we put him until we can find some help?" "I think that the best place would be his cabin." Malachai said, as he gave Sebastian back to Alan. "Follow me. I'll show you where it is."
Cassie opened the door to the impossibly large hallway and held it open for Alan as he cautiously carried Sebastian down into his room. Malachai looked over at Miranda and could see the tear stains on her cheeks, though no more were falling. I wonder if she still cares about him like he did for her. Did she have anything to do with Sebastian's injury? Are those tears of guilt or concern...or both?
Yet, in the midst of all this, something caught his attention in the corner of his eye. Did I just see something sprint from the pier to the Unicorn? Nah, just me being jumpy. Shaking his head, Malachai then walked into the hallway.
