Chapter 32
When she reached the island she decided it would be safer to hide the boat. She
didn't know exactly where the village was. She started to walk away. The moon
was shinning dimly. After a while she saw some lights. The village. She smiled
and laughed a little. She would be home. She was stopped by two black men.
Man : Who are you ?
Bonnie : I'm Bonnie and I'm looking for my mother.
Man : You're not allowed on this island.
She didn't spend two months on uncomfortable ship with a manerless crew to
give up so easily. She was tougher than that.
Bonnie : I'm here to see my mother she took off the necklace from under her clothes
They studied it with curiosity for a few minutes.
Man : Come with us.
Kai sighed. Even the elements were against him. The ship suffered in a tempest
and part of the sails were torn apart. They had to stop and started to repair the
damages. He grabbed a bottle and went in his quarters. He wasn't doing well
without Bonnie. He sat down, opened the bottle and took a long sip. He missed
her and sometimes he was mad at her for telling him about her pregnancy in a
letter. Not even face to face. And then she ran away. Just like that. As if she
could throw him out of her life so easily. At least he knew where she was
going.
When he would see her again he would tell her how sorry he was for the lies
and also that she was the woman of his life. He never wanted Elena. He took
another sip and looked at his maps. They were close. Two, maybe three days.
Of course it would take longer now. He ran a hand through his face. I should at
least shave, he thought. It wasn't really on his mind for the past few weeks and
he was wearing a thick beard. He was about to take another sip when he heard
unusual noises. He put the bottle down and went on the upper deck. He
immediatly saw that another ship was close to them.
Kai : Why was I not informed of this ?! You probably saw the ship approaching !
Marcos : We thought you needed time alone.
Kai : I...Bloody hell !
Caroline was waving from the deck of the foreign ship.
Bonnie looked at the wooden village. She was led into a house.
Man : Wait here.
They disappeared and the young woman waited nervously. Maybe she was
about to meet her mother. She waited for what seemed an eternity but wasn't it
always like that when you were impatient ?
?: Who are you ?
Bonnie turned around and looked at the woman. She was a bit taller than her
but not that much. Same green eyes.
Bonnie : M-mom ?
?: she froze Bonnie ?
Bonnie : she took off her necklace You gave me this when I was little.
Abbie : she touched it Yes I did. Let me look at you.
Bonnie let her do so in silence. She felt overwhelmed with emotions. Her
mother touched her face softly before hugging her. Bonnie hugged her back.
Abbie : My beautiful daughter she caressed her hair It took you so long.
Bonnie : Well first I had to grow up and there was some...bumps on the way.
Abbie : Speaking of bumps she pulled away and touched her belly
Bonnie : Oh yeah, I'm going to be a mother.
Kai : What do you want ?
Caroline : Oh, is it a good way to welcome me ?
Kai : I don't have time for this so tell us...
Caroline : she looked around Where's Bonnie ?
Kai : None of your business.
Caroline : Awwww I killed her ?
He started to march towards her with murdering eyes.
Marcos : he stopped him No she's alive.
Caroline : Anything valuable to steal ?
Marcos : he whispered to Kai Let me handle this.
Kai : Alright.
Marcos : After you, Miss Forbes.
Caroline : Mmmmm you remember my name. I guess I'm flattered.
