Chapter 2 : "The Great Escape".

Astro's Point Of View

"I.."I can't even say a word while reading her information, i held the folder tight against my chest. I felt a heavy feeling in my stomach.

"Listen Astro! You can't tell your parents about your dream, Okay?"

It all made sense now... She told me to keep my dream a secret, because she knew... That my parents are gonna kill me.. It doesn't matter if I'm their daughter.. "A pirate is a pirate" That's what my father told me. They're gonna think that Ms.Coleign brainwashed me if i told them my dream.

I sighed and bit my lower lip.

"Rebecca..I-.. I've made up my mind, I'm gonna be a pirate and find Ms.Coleign"I said.

"But-"

"Please..help me escape- tonight"I pleaded, she sighed and nod her head.

I woke up with a knock on my window, i look at the clocked. It's 3:30 AM.I stood up and opened the window, She was sitting at the window. She look at me.

"Aren't you going to pack your things?"She ask, I smiled.

"No, I don't think that would be necessary"I said.

"Alright! Then, Shall we?"She asked and grin, i smiled.

"We shall"I said, Her grin got bigger.

She held my hand and- woah!

"...A-Am i in heaven..?.."I mumbled, i look at the moon.

"Woah.."I look at Rebecca, her eyes are shut tight, it feels like everything is in slow motion.I closed my eyes too but immediately open it when i felt a pain in my butt.

"Ouch!"I wince and look at Rebecca.

"Ah?"She look at me too and we made an eye contact.

"Eh?"We both blink.

"Oh-?"I look up and saw the window in my room, i stopped and thought for a moment.

My eyes widen.

"Did we just jump out the window?!"I screamed, her eyes widen.

"Hush! You're gonna wake everyone up! And yes we did!"She whispered and boink my head.

"Hey-jrjfjkekdkd"She immediately put her hand on my mouth, She held my hand once again.

We both ran towards the West.When we arrive at the sea, we both stopped running and took a deep breath.

"Hah! There's your boat!"She said and point at a small row boat, i nod my head and was about to ran towards the row boat but i remember something.I look at Rebecca and hug her, it looks like i startle her but she immediately hug me back. I heard her sob.I chuckled and tore away from the hug, i pat her head.

"There there there! Now come on! Stop crying"I hushed and chuckled, She's still a crybaby. She look at me with teary eyes, i smile at her and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

"I-I will miss y-you"She said and sob"T-Take care, okay? If you die I'm going to k-kill you!"She said and pout, her eyes are now red, i pat her head once again.

"Yes Yes Yes, take care too, okay?"I said. She nod her head, i smile and bid my goodbye.

I went to the row boat and untie it frow the wood, i held the oars and start to navigate it.

"Goodbye Rebecca!"I said and smiled when she start to fade in my vision, i look back and saw the city i grew up with, i smiled bitterly.. I'm happy because finally-! I'm free from that City! But at the same time i feel sad too..Hah! This is no time to be depressed! I should be happy because I've been waiting for this my whole life!

I smiled and look at the peaceful sea.

First thing to do to be a pirate is to find crew and to create my own flag! Because i know that if i want to survive i need others helps too! This is gonna be a great adventure!

I went back to reality when suddenly a strong wind blew through me causing a few strands of my hair to fly.

I also noticed that I was surrounded by fog, i look at the sky.

There..

I noticed that the color of the cloud was changing, Damn! A Strom is coming!

I look at the aft when i noticed something, A wave is coming! A big one!

"s**t!"I mumbled.

I can't control the boat no matter how hard I try to paddle away, the oars even broke!

I can't turn back now!

I held my boat tightly and met the wave.

I can't breathe!

I tried to swim away but i feel something on my feet, Damn! Why now?! Something is stuck on my feet, Corals?! It doesn't matter! I need to remove it from my foot before i ran out of air!

I was almost feeling numb as the strong current pulled me deeper and deeper until my arms and legs gave up.

I was getting weaker and weaker..

My chest was going to explode...

I was losing air..

I was dying..

I was hopeless..
