Chapter 21:

“Stop pushing me! I’m going I’m going!” I said aggravated. The guy ignored me. I had no idea where we were going but after so long we got in a boat and left Ingvarr. I had a strange feeling that Michael was safe somewhere and I was the one in danger. After what felt like forever we finally got to their camp. There was a boy there but it wasn’t Michael. The guy pushing me sat me down beside the boy and left. “Who are you?” He asked once the other guy left. “None of your concern who are you?” I asked. “Alexen Tharan at your service but you can call me Alex.” He said trying to bow and not fall. “Who are these people?” I asked. “I have no idea Miss?” He asked. “Cassandra.” I replied then realized I told him my name. He had caught me off guard. He was pretty smart. “That’s a unique name!” He said. “Thanks?” I said confused. Cassandra wasn’t really unique it was actually kinda basic and pretty common. “Are you from around here?” He asked. “No way! Wait where is here?” I realized after we got in the boat I had no idea where we went. Alex laughed “I think we are in maybe Galcrest? Which would explain why it was so cold.” He said. “That’s a good point! Well in that case still no. How bout you?” I asked. He looked Kotoan (from Koto). “Yeah actually my home is the next island to the left! Koto!” He said. “I knew you were from Koto!” I said. “Any who any ideas how to get outta here?” I asked getting to my point. “Nope I think they are trying to make money off of us because if they don’t their bosses will punish them in a rather harsh way.” He explained. “So they are selling us? Or trading us? That’s oh so delightful. Who is their boss?” I asked. “The Stabbingtons.” He said. “The Stabbing... I gotta get out of here they do not like me for many reasons not that I blame them....actually I do, not the point. Alex we are escaping.” I was completely rambling. I don’t think he understood anything I said but I didn’t care if the Stabbingtons knew I was here I would more than likely...well it wouldn’t be good. “Get up!” Came the raspy voice again. We got up and the guy came and started moving us. The big guy was pushing me again and I was tired of it. “Stop pushing me!” I yelled at him. He ignored me. I kicked him hard. “I said stop pushing me!” I yelled again. This time he listened. “Look I don’t wanna be here you don’t wanna be here so it would be best for both of us if I just told you who I was.” He said. “Micheal! What are you doing?” I asked. I had never been happier to see him. “Owl came and brought me here so then snuck in and here we are!” He said. “Ok we really have to go!” I said looking back to make sure no one was following us. “Who’s this?” Micheal asked as he untied out ropes. “Ale...” he started. “That’s Alex introductions later we gotta go!” I said. I took off in a sprint and they followed me. “Our best bet is just to go to the village! We can leave tomorrow and get back on track!” I told Micheal. “Sounds good to me!” He said. And we ran off to the village ready to see what adventure we would have there.
