Yes, yes I know it's a very short chapter and everyone who reads this story might yell at me for making it into a little cliff hanger, but that's just me (I like to tease you with what might happen lol).

Anyway, hope you enjoy and I promise the chapter 14 will be coming out soon (so don't freak out) ^.^

Chapter 13: Gotta Love That Blue

"I made it on the boat without drawing any attention to myself, but it was walking through it that made me uneasy. Even with my wings tightly pressed against my body, I still got some weird glances from people. Most of my cuts and bruises from yesterday were healed, except for my arm, which I still have the bandage on.

It could be the beyond wearable clothes. This place looks too fancy-smancy to be a regular boat, and I'm guessing these people have never seen a freak of nature before. Either that or I'm just born to grab unnecessary attention.

Ugh.

Despite the annoying glances from people, I managed to find a room that was completely unoccupied without any hassle. The doors are card access only, so I had to basically rewire it so that it only opened when I touched it.

Mind powers really do come in handy sometimes.

The room was pretty nice and spacious, though I had already deducted that I was on a cruise ship. My headaches are on and off now, and it didn't help when the door opposite mine swung open and a petite women in maybe her mid-twenties came running out of the room with her suitcase, crying her eyes out. She saw me staring and nearly chucked the gigantic rock thing at my head, yelling that I could take them all before running upstairs to the main deck. I looked in the direction that she had disappeared to, expecting her to come back to get her stuff or something, but she didn't, so I just took the suitcase inside my room, closed the door, put it on the bed, and started looking through it. She had some really nice stuff, some of which were too small for me. I took a long, hot shower and changed into some long skinny blue jeans and a gray t-shirt. I made sure to cut some slits in them, just in case.

So now I'm here at the bow of the boat I guess, watching the other ships that were behind us that couldn't be seen by regular human eyes unless they had a telescope or something. And now this random guy is talking to me...doesn't he have something better to do than to bug me? Well, now that I take a closer look at him, he seems nice.

Good looking, too...not Eraser good looking, but good looking for a regular human guy. Tall, tan skin, blue-green eyes, black shorts, short spiky hair, a caring face...wait, why am I observing him like this?

And why is he talking to me again?

I don't know, but my guard is definitely going up".

O::O::O::O::O::O

We had finally managed to find a small boat and sneak into the cargo storage room of the ship. It just happened to be our luck that the ship was also going to England. We were all exhausted since we were flying nonstop over nothing but ocean for what felt like an eternity. We ate some food that we had brought with us before claiming places to sleep. I was able to sit farther away from the now sleeping flock to read what Ember had recently thought, but when I finished I wished that I hadn't. I had to put the page down on the ground in order to stop myself from crushing it and possibly tearing it into little tiny shreds.

Nudge would never forgive me if I trashed one of her favorite pictures. I shut my eyes and tried to steady my breathing.

What the hell! She doesn't even know the guy!

Wait...why am I caring? It's her own life; let her live it, I thought, bringing my knees to my chest and laying my head on my knees, falling into a restless nap.

A couple of hours later, I opened my eyes and almost freaked out. It took me a second to remember where I was and I glanced toward the flock, who were still sleeping peacefully. I turned my gaze toward the paper that lifelessly laid on the ground beside me, only to see that there was more writing on the page. I grabbed it and instantly started to read, despite the feelings that I had earlier that even I couldn't understand.
