"Ugh!"
I scream half in frustration and half in pain. The sharp sting in my shoulder from my constant
ramming against the rusting metal door finally making the tears I've been holding in fall down
my face in streaks.
"I'm such an i***t," I whine to myself as I slide down the wall of the small engine room.
After making the worst decision of my life, Kalona's men took me aboard the ship of that same
name and I've been locked down here for at least ten minutes now. It reeks of the sea- not the
good kind. I smell more rotting sushi than salt water to be honest. Shaking my head, I put pieces
together of anything I could have done differently. I should have known. That strange smell
radiating off of Kalona was drugs. Don't go places alone. Shipyards, not safe. Don't talk to
strangers.
