Rebecca's POV
The confusion was massive. There must have been oil barrels or gunpower barrels along with those slaves on those ships. One tiny explosion followed by another massive one, traumatized the romance of the night. Our captain anchored our ship at the nearest land ,keeping quite a fair distance from the calamity.
The captain and some of his men launched the life boats into the water and hurried towards the distress as we watched from the deck.
Stephanie was leaning right over my shoulder like she used to do when she was little, in her excitement. The moment I turned my face to watch her, she moved away and then left. I saw her going down the stairs. Possibly she went to Blaze's cabin because he could nowhere be seen.
The page boys and girls were running here and there. Mira
