All Chapters of The North Star: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

  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.

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

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

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

Missing: The long way around the passage was surprisingly calm. Ariadne had steered the whole time on edge waiting for something to happen. Patrick had stayed quiet, they haven't really spoken since Patrick had told her about the scars on his back. She had a bunch of questions, why did he stay? Why did he have this weird sense of commitment to his fathers company if he was that kind of person? What happened when he left for school? Where was his mother now? Was he upset that Kaleb went rogue? Ariadne clenched her jaw thinking of how his childhood must have been. She had nothing but loving warm memories. Her father loved her mother with every piece of his heart and soul. He loved his children. How could you hurt a child? She remembered the first time she had walked in on her mother changing. She gasped in horror as she saw her mothers  bareback. There was not a spot on it that wasn't left untouched with some scar. She remembers her mother quickly trying to get a
