Sorry it took awhile to update. School just kept getting in the way. Hope you enjoy.
Sam's POV:
"You'll have to go on without me Fred," I said, " I can't go another step." Fred rolled his eyes at me. I couldn't see how hasn't even broken out in a sweat yet. We had been walking for ages. I can't believe I am saying/thinking this, but I wish I was more like Fred. Glad I got that thought done and over with. I had to stop and think about our current situation. Fred and I have been walking in a woods looking at nothing but trees and woodland birds for awhile now. We still haven't found the Book, and we still have no idea where the others are. Sigh. This warp is more difficult than most of the others we have faced. At least we have known, more or less, where the others were. This time we were completely clueless. We started walking again, when all of a sudden I started to smell something other than earthy lumber. Water. The trees made way for sand, and the woodland birds made way for seagulls. We found ourselves staring at an ocean harbor, where ships of all kinds and sizes were seen. I looked at some of the ships, and suddenly a ship's name stood out to me. The Wildfire. I had heard that name before, but where. I figured that I might remember if I got a closer look, so I dragged Fred (who was messing around a little rowboat) over to the large ship. As we got closer, I could see a lot of African Americans being examined, and amidst all of their faces, I recognized one. Joe!
Joe's POV:
I was in the middle of getting checked out by complete strangers, in immense pain, and feeling utterly miserable, when I spied hope. Sam and Fred suddenly showed up out of nowhere, and my mood brightened. They would surely save the day. They always do. They looked at me with pity and concern in their eyes, and I couldn't blame them. They checked me over, and were shocked and unhappy with what they found. Fred even went as far as to say that my condition makes what happens to him when he gets in a fight with his brother look wonderful. Sam, whose had absolutely no experience with fighting and/or pain, was close to hyperventilating for me. I was kind of touched, to tell you the truth. I asked them if they had the Book, and got my happiness killed when they sadly shook their heads no. I really hope it shows up soon…
Freddi's POV:
When I woke up in the morning and found the lady, I was glad when she offered me some breakfast. I was hungry, and I needed some fuel for today. After I finished eating, I was going to go, but I thought to ask if she had the Book first. I described it to her, and she told me that she bought a book that fitted that description yesterday. She was going to give it as a present for her son, since she lost the original present, but found the other shortly before I showed up. She said she had no need for it, and would gladly show it to me. I accepted the offer, and silently rejoiced when she came back a second later with the Book in her hands. I told her that that was the book I was looking for, and so she just gave it to me, saying that it would be more useful to me than her. I thanked her, than started the journey to the harbor where The Wildfire was docked. I felt that, for once, the tide has turned in our warp.
