We were running back to the boats as fast as we could, evading traps here and there. Jacob was running behind me. We had to leave the island immediately before the women cannibals could get creative and escape the dilemma we put them into. Upon seeing us, Neville signalled the other pirates to make haste and prepared the boats.
Once we reached the boats, Jacob quickly held my elbow and directed me to the boat he would be on and we sat down beside each other. I wanted to shrug off his hold on me but I do not want to make any scene. Especially that I had just a spat with Thaddaeus. But the image of him and Namibel acting so disgustingly was still engraved into my brain and I could not shake my annoyance. I admit, it angered me. It STILL angers me!
I was silent the entire time. The pirates were laughing and singing as we rowed away from the cannibal island but I am not in the mood.
