Story of Roanoke Island
Everyone walks down to the bow of the ship to the sleeping quarters. ten bunks, spilt a wall in between the rooms. One side for the girls and one for guys, privacy reason everyone knows. I walked to a bottom bunk with a window and dropped my stuff next to the bunk and dropped myself on it. The bed was so comfortable, I asked Dallas, "what is this bed made of?" Dallas looks at me and chuckles, "Pegasi drooping, don't worry, no Pegasi were harmed when it happened." Dallas added at the end to not scare the girls on the other end. Xavier threw his backpack over my bunk and climbs up thru a ladder on the side. "Yeah X!" I said as I raised my hand for a high five and smiled. Xavier looks at me and said as well "yeah!" he gave me a high five. "Are ya ready for this Xavier?" I asked, "hell no I'm not ready!" Xavier used a bit of his sassy voice to use his sarcasm, "really?" I asked, he looks at me again, "of course I'm ready, ya jackwagon!" Xavier retorted and I laughed. We calmed down for a few minutes, "so Roanoke island?" Brian said, he has a top bunk, guessing that Sheldon is too young to go up. All of us nodded, all of us get up and walked up to the deck. The girls walks up a few minutes later. "so, what are we expecting at Roanoke Island?" I asked, everyone looks at each other, thinking of what's going to happen, I looked at Rane and asked, "hey Rane, what do you know about Roanoke Island?" Rane snaps out of thinking and looks at me, she blushes a bit and spoke, "Roanoke Island, the first colony that England try to make in the New World. The leader went to England to get supplies and when he came back, he saw the settlement deserted with a word on a tree saying 'CROATOAN" and no one knows what happened afterwards." Rane told us all of the information off of her head.
Everyone looked spooked, I can't help it myself, a group of people suddenly vanished with one word in remains. I turned to the ocean view and walked to the edge. I breathed in and out and water slowly forms up on the ship. I looked at them with some attention as they get longer and longer. "Xavier, you can stop now before you pull me in the ocean." I said, "aw, come on, let me drown you." Xavier whined a bit like a baby. I looked at him and glares a bit, "if you drown me, I'll make sure your head is on a stick." I threaten him with my index finger pointing at him. Xavier stops the water rising and said, "jeez Mario, take a chill." I went in fumes for a second and calmed down. "of course you were Xavier, of course you would." I finished my last statement, Lexi announced, "everyone, get over here." We all looked at her and we surrounded her. She starts taking things out of her pockets, ipods for everyone. "IPod for everyone, unlimited music, literally on the Apollo pod." She handed a color to everyone, she gave me a blackish and crismon Ipod. We all thank her for her gifts. "no prob guys, just a gift you know." she replied and smiled, I looked away and pull out earphones at the top right corner and plugged it in my ears. Let's see here, let play Sugar we're going down by Fall out boys. My Ipod starts playing the song and I was shocked. This world just keeps me wondering more and more. I looked at Xavier, he just tuning to the song he has on, I walked over to see what he's playing. Moves like Jagger by Maroon 5 on his sea blue Ipod, I chuckled and he looked at me. He takes off his earphones, "what's so funny?" he asked, I look at him removes my earphones, "sorry?" I asked, "what's so funny?" he repeated, "oh, just how obvious it is for you with that song." I replied, "so? doesn't mean I can't listen to it." He retorted, I chuckled and thought of a idea. "we should have Gangam style on speaker and dance to it." I proposed, he smiled and we laughed. I walk to Lexi "heya" I said, she looks at me "hi, what's up?" she asked, I pointed up, "everything taller than me." I joked and she laughed a bit. "do you have a speaker?" I asked, she nodded, "yes, why?" she asked, she chuckled a bit. "Cool! I need it now!" I exclaimed, she laughed a bit and took out a ihome and give it to me. "be careful, it can be too loud." She warned, I disregarded the warning and thanked her. I ran to the cockpit and turned on the ihome and plugged in my ipod. I put on Gangam style and start singing and later dancing to it. Everyone looks at me and Xavier was the first to join me. Sheldon joined and so did Brian. My cabin mates looked at me strangely. Lexi and Dallas joined us and Rane did as well. Gavin gave in and tries to do it, a bit off with timing but he's good enough. Dawn starts to give in and Karen looks at us. I laughed when I looked at her "what's wrong? can't do it?" I asked, she gave a scowl and retorted, "Yes I can, see!" she starts to do the dance but fail to do so miserably. After the song was over, we all laughed and Karen seems pretty embarrassed due to some redness on her cheeks. Everyone split to different parts. I walked to the bow and picked up a shield. "Xavier!" I shouted, everyone looks at me and Xavier walks up, "yeah?" he asked, I chuckled and threw him a shield next to me. "we have to spar." I answered his mental question. I felt a bit tense as we get ready to fight, we have stone swords but wooden hilt.
I start the sparring with a uppercut strike. He parries and tries to spin around to stab me. I lifted my shield to block the hit. "Come on X, I know you can do better." I tried to stab his arm but he moves out of the way and I stepped forward and bring my shield to protect my body. "speak for yourself Mario, you can't lay a finger on me." Xavier retorted, I looked at the floor and see the water surrounding him, he bashed my head with his shield and I look at him. I spat at the water under him and chuckled. "so this is how you caught up to my speed, using the ocean around you, I guess that's fair." I walk forward and bash your shield with mine, hopefully to stagger Xavier. He moved a bit and tries to hit me with his sword. I parry his sword and his sword slid away. I smiled and I looked at his terrified face. I hit his ribs and kick him to the ground. "I got you now." I smiled, until I got hit in the stomach. I look down and see the stone sword hitting my stomach and it's surrounded by water and Xavier looked at me still freaked out but retain his sense before I did and dead kick my left leg. I staggered back and kneel on my left leg. I grunted and looked at Xavier with his sword at my head. "When I'm at the sea, I'll always win with the dolphins." Xavier finished the fight and I chuckled and grunts again. My leg hurts so much! Why Xavier? why! Lexi runs over and sings a song and looks at Xavier. "watch where you hit next time." Lexi warned Xavier, Xavier looked serious and said that he didn't mean for that to happen. "It's alright, I'm actually kinda happy, you're the first person to beat me since I got into the camp." I said, Lexi looks at me worried and I smiled, "don't worry, I'm a son of Ares, I'm not that weak." I reassured everyone as they look at us. My siblings nodded and I get picked up by Gavin and we walk down to the bow, Xavier follows behind.
