Chapter Thirty
Beach:
The sand was warm and gritty feeling as her knees crashed into it. Danica dug her fingers in it as she leaned over bracing herself. She inhaled deeply, she was desperately trying to catch her breath. The water from the ocean dripped off of her and puddled into the sand. She watched it turn the sand a dark gray color as she calmed her burning lungs. She had jumped out of the row boat as they neared the shore and helped pull the rowboat in. She felt a strong arm slip under hers and help pull her up to her feet.
“You alright Captain?” Kaleb said to her his hands lingering on her.
“Aye.” Danica answered leaning back into him a little bit as she looked around.
The island was covered in white sand that led to a wooded area. Judging by how the tr

Uncharted: Danica stretched, arching her back and raising her hands above her head. She let out a small groan as she did. Her outward hand reached into the sandy grit. Touching the sand she remembered where she was. She opened her eyes. The Sun was just peeking above the ocean and the tops of the waves were etched with its golden rays. She sat up pulling the jacket around her. She looked down at the simple brown jacket. She inhaled deeply and knew right away whose jacket it was. His scent made her feel warm, he smelt like freedom like the wind blowing in wide open spaces. Adventure. He smelt like the earth on a cold day. She found herself wrapping herself in it as she stood. She didn't realize it but her eyes were scanning the beach for him; Kaleb. “Morning Captain, what be the plan today?” A man cradling his own coat to himself asked her.

Scars:Ariadne wrapped herself in the warmth next to her. She nuzzled her head into the warmth as her toes curled. Her foot slowly rubbed against his leg subconsciously as she melted into the feeling. She could stay like this, she thought not wanting to open her eyes. She listened to his soft heart beat. The sound of it was better than any music she had ever heard. The rise and fall of his chest was begging her to fall back to sleep. She couldn't tell if he was still asleep, her eyes wanted to peek and look but she was afraid. Afraid that if she opened them and looked, the world would come rushing in and everything that she needed to handle would be waiting for her. She didn't want that, she wanted to stay in this small paradise where no one asked anything of her and she could just be.“We can't stay like this forever.” Patrick whispered to her.

Memories: Patrick watched the door shut and her fiery red hair disappear. He quickly found his shirt and pulled it over his head. He gritted his jaw thinking of his father. He said too much he shouldn't have told her. He stared down at the wooden floor. An image flashed in front of his eyes. Loud noises of yelling and dishes breaking. He could still feel the stairs creaking between his feet as if he was walking down the stairs in his old home. The yelling stopped as he reached the kitchen. He was scared, he didn't know why at the time but he felt like something bad was in the kitchen. Like there was a monster waiting for him. He was twelve and didn't believe in monsters anymore. He took a deep breath and walked into the kitchen. Porcelain dishes were shattered about the floor, his mother on the floor leaning against the kitchen cabinet. Tears stained her very red face.“Mother?” Patrick whispered.Her eyes grew wide as she shook her head at him and told him to go with

Trance: “This way.” Danica yelled as she rounded another corner, the men growing tired as the jungle around them became dark.They had been walking for hours, the jungle growing thicker and darker as they walked. Danica wasn't stopping. She was not even really with them. Jacob had called to her a few miles back asking her to slow her pace but she acted like she didn't even hear them. This was the first time she had spoken or awkledged them since she veered off the path. She wasn't using any directional tools, no compass, no map, she hadn't even looked at the map she was clutching tightly in her fist. She couldn't see the stars the Jungle had locked out the sky. That was it Kaleb had enough of whatever this was. He moved up in the group he had hung back making sure everyone was ok.“Dani!” He called up to her as he began to push his way through the men.The men did their best to move aside but the path they started on was getting smaller and smaller as th

Haunting:Danica stretched into him, Kaleb’s warm body pressed against as he wrapped his arms around her. He had made them a spot in the inner part of the clearing, his eyes staring into the surrounding trees as if he was waiting for something before he actually decided to settle down. Danica’s yawning was his final giving point. He had laid out a blanket one handed before laying down on it and pulling him against her. Kaleb wasn't kidding when he said he wasn't letting her go. He held her hand everywhere she went that night and when it was time to finally laid down and get some sleep. He did just what he said. He laid down and pulled her into his arms. She chuckled curling up into him. Turning over in his arms, She rested her head on his chest and listened to his heart beat. Kalebs strong arms encased her. She looked up at the millions of stars looking down on them and studied them.“They are beautiful. More beautiful than anything I have ever se

Let Go:Danica walked slowly to the cave entrance. Peering inside it was pitch black. She went to step inside the cave carefully, something was telling her to be cautious.“The flower.” The voice called to her.“Flower?” Danica asked, withdrawing her foot from inside the cave.She turned trying to find the figure again but she wasn't there. She looked down at her hand and there was the white flower. Its stem had three thorns on it. She brought it up to her face looking at it. The thorns matched the punctures on her wrist. She looked at the flower; what was she supposed to do with this. She let the flower dangle in her hand as she looked back at the cave. A soft melody began flowing out the cave. It was haunting and beautiful. Danica tried looking deeper into the cave without going in but couldn’t see anything.“Alright here goes nothing.” She whispered before stepping into the cave.“Danica!”

Trapt:Danica struggled to get to her feet pushing off the sand. She stumbled as she tried to race after Kaleb. The piercing noise was growing with each step she took. Covering her ears she pushed herself forward. She could hear a low rumble noise that reminded her of the ocean’s waves crashing against the shore. She knew water was coming up soon and she had to stop Kaleb before he walked mindlessly into it.The cave passage narrowed. The rocks lining it were dark ash color and jagged. She was careful not to brush against them for fear that the sharp edges would tear into her flesh. She was close to him now he was just out of reach. She held out her hand in front of desperately trying to touch him. Part of her was praying that he would trip, fall or collapse. She went to grab him and he moved slightly. As if expecting her to touch him. She nearly fe

Step by Step: Danica went to step forward and her leg buckled in on her. She let out a painful cry as she almost toppled to the ground. Kaleb caught her and pulled her back into him. She collided against his chest. He grunted at the impact, she could tell he was also in pain but forcing it away to make sure she was ok.“I think we need to take a minute.” She whispered into his chest.“Aye Love.” He replied back as he rubbed her arm softly.He glanced around and saw some rocks off to the side. He took Danica’s arm and placed it around his neck. She raised an eyebrow at him as his hand moved to her back. Before she knew it Kaleb had scooped her off her feet and was walking to the rocks. She sighed about to argue but she knew it would be of no use. He was stubborn and wouldn't put her down. She leaned her head into his chest enjoying the closeness of him. He settled down on to the rock with Danica still cradled in his arms like a baby.“I could sit next
